This is a dive bar. Bought bottle service, they still charged $20 cover charge for everyone. Charged us $500 for the table space, then extra $500 for the actual bottle. Nobody does that - not LA, not Vegas - and when we complained they said “well this is Vail”

Beneath the beloved ski town bar exterior is a lot of shade.

The place for music in Vail. Expect a cover and a good time.

Somehow there was a cover, however only for certain clientele. If you don’t meet there unsaid requirements, you will pay a cover. Good luck!

Kicked me out because I was “associated with someone that was too drunk”. Did that to my entire group. Bunch of power hungry trolls. Could’ve been a good time.

If you’re looking for a tiny expensive underground bar with live music that smells like incense, you’ve found it. It is rather odd that they have a cover charge when there’s live music and then also have a band tip line on every tab. We were crammed in like sardines on a Saturday night with a bunch of 50+ men awkwardly swaying to the live music and trying to hit on every woman under 50 since they’d left their wives…wherever. Add in the locals who reek like pot trying to dance with the hot young wives…it’s just a weird gross atmosphere you’d only find in a place like vail or Aspen. It was so packed I’m surprised the fire department wasn’t in there removing people. I didn’t see the government mandated capacity sticker but they clearly weren’t doing anything to monitor capacity so who cares?

It would truly be one star if not for the staff. They do their best with this nasty weird crowd and despite being busy they were all AWESOME!

Went to see a performer who cancelled, the venue made no effort to update this information. Was charged $35 for two coors. Would not reccommend

A complete scam. I paid a $1,000 reservation for our Jack & Jill to reserve 16 seats and, spoiler, we did not get the seats. We are in the process of escalating this legally (photo and video evidence are so clutch). Truly this was a complete scam. Do not go here and do not spend your money here.
