We've been coming to Vail for 20 years; have had lunch or after dinner drinks at Pepi's many times and it was always great. This was our first time there for dinner and it was a fantastic experience; great service, unique menu options ( I got the caribou, my wife got the venison!) which were presented beautifully and were absolutely delicious. We'll definitely be back for dinner again this ski season and more!

Always one of our favorite places in Vail, we always have an amazing meal and an amazing time

Pepi’s Restaurant & Bar is a long-standing Vail Village classic known for its warm alpine atmosphere and hearty European comfort food. The menu focuses on Austrian and German staples like schnitzel, bratwurst, goulash, spätzle alongside familiar American favorites, all served in generous portions. The dishes are absolutely delicious and will leave you craving the next visit.
The interior is cozy and old-world, with rustic wood accents, vintage ski decor, and a lively, welcoming energy. The covered patio is one of the best spots in the village for people-watching, lunch, or après-ski drinks. Founded with strong Austrian roots, Pepi’s has been part of Vail since its early days and remains a favorite for its relaxed vibe, live music, and authentic alpine charm.

Very cozy ambience. The caribou was absolutely delicious and very tender. The service was magnificent. We also enjoyed the delicious beet and goat cheese salad and quality smooth pinot Noir🥳

Amazing. Everything was delicious. We ordered many plates, and we all loved what we ate. Absolutely no complaints. It has a very unique taste, and is a must if you are visiting Vail.

Old lady manager hostess was the rudest person ever. Intentionally bumped into our chair and said we were in the way on the patio when she sat us at our table! The other staff was so nice and I am so sad they have to work under that woman. When you come and stay in a town like vail and spend the money you do and to be treated so rude was unacceptable. How this woman still has her job is beyond me.

Pizza was fine and the prices were fair. The real surprise was the manager, Danny, who decided to confront me aggressively over something I had no knowledge of. An odd choice, especially in front of other customers, who clearly noticed. I’ll be back for comp and I’ll be sure to say hello every time.

We had reservations and were able to get right in. It is a little confusing getting into the restaurant part giving you have to go through the bar area but once you're in it's a very nice restaurant area. I would recommend the Antler Room which by the way has a lot of antlers on the wall...lol.
The service was very attentive and excellent along with the food being of good portions and taste. The presentation of food was excellent as well. Good dessert menu and drink menu.
It is odd that there's so many French choices there but they're well done. There is a seasonal menu mainly in the winter time of oddly not German dishes which they will cook tableside which is pretty cool but the video wouldn't post here.
Highly recommend it.

love the music and atmosphere! Great bar staff. Just when you charge 20 bucks for a bratwurst (that really shouldn’t cost half of it) at least make it larger than the bread- double the size. Just like it is done in Germany.

I’m done with this place and their absurd rules and difficult staff. I made a reservation over the phone, specifically mentioning that I had a couple of kids, and was told that, based on their ages, that wouldn’t be a problem (stupid rule btw). We arrive and get turned away by the hostess who says who we spoke to “didn’t have the authority to make that decision”. The restaurant is essentially empty at the time. I’ve had frustrating experiences with this hostess before and I’m not going to be bothered to try again.

My father and his buddies have been going there for over forty years.
We also like going there for his birthday lunch.
We sure do miss getting baskets of bread with butter.
It was one of the special details that made our experience at Pepi's so memorable
It really showed traditional standards for dining.
