9 Best Cocktail Bars in Vail

“The best restaurant in Vail!“

“We saw other reviews of the artichokes that were unfavorable, however we tried them anyway… and we were soooooo glad that we did. They were grilled to perfection, super tender on the inside, and were delightfully seasoned. We saw negative review about “too much oil” on them — not sure what that person was smoking! They were drenched… in delicious melted lemon butter, and topped with sea salt and pepper. The red pepper aioli they came with was also fabulous.

We were between happy and ecstatic with everything we ordered. Definitely better value than many other restaurants in Lionshead Village.“

“Very friendly staff! I’ve never had a drink like this one before! “Chai one on”“

“My husband met the owner on the gondola one day and told us all about First Chair. We made it out for dinner and drinks with the kids a few days later. Chris served us and it was great meeting him as a fellow East coaster! We ordered almost all of the burritos on the menu and were not disappointed! The smash burger was easily my favorite. My dad would order the meatball burrito for every meal, I swear, with how much he enjoyed it as well as my 1 year old eating half of one herself. My son did work on the nachos they were so tasty! When we get back to Vail, we'll be sure to stop in! great staff and food!“

“My favorite cafe in Vail. I used to go just for morning coffee and the lox (very generous and fresh salmon portion) and maybe an afternoon Hugo Spritz, but they also make the best empanadas I’ve ever tasted. Just big chunks of slow braised beef in a warm, crispy crust. Amazing.“

“The quality of their food is not good, it's very bad.“

“We eat here every year while visiting Vail as it is our favorite! Perfect French restaurant! They serve a fabulous fois gras terrine as well as a traditional chocolate, and more importantly, lemon soufflé for dessert! Best French food in the heart of Vail Village. Iliya is a consummate professional waiter.“

“Steven Teaver the owner was awesome! He opened up a little early to allow us Oregonians to check out Bad Kitty Lounge! Made us feel like long time friends! The suspended mirrored ski boot was a spectacular touch. Were there 08/23/21. Going through some of our Colorado vacation pics and had to comment on this place.“

“What a fabulous lunch. Patrick our waiter was knowledgeable, courteous attentive and cute! The food was great too. Carrot honey chicken sandwich best ever! Elk meatball sub was excellent. Fries in duck fat, there are no words. Topped off with a dark chocolate, baby guava tart…..what can I say. All Patrick’s suggestions…thank you.“
