INSPIRED cocktails! Great food and an incredible staff who works hard to build a personal connection. This has become our most frequented hang in Vail - super grateful especially for Hal, Chadwick, Bence, and Lori for being standout and going above and beyond in their kindness and cocktail expertise!! Get a Don Alejandro while you’re here - you won’t be disappointed.

Great atmosphere super friendly employees they really try to give great customer service but the drinks are expensive beyond any reasonable price expectation. Vail resorts in general really think if you are not a millionaire we don’t want you in our business. The pool bar at The Sebastian hotel for pre mixed drinks with absolutely no-verity to choose from are so crazy priced it will blow your mind totally not worth it. A Coke was 10 dollars if I’m not mistaken really it’s just way overpriced . If you have to ask how much you probably don’t want to go there.

Great great great spot. Arrogant arrogant arrogant staff. Spent a few nights here. Tipped well. Hopeless. Back of the house great. Prepare to wait for drinks.

Relaxed atmosphere with comfortable seating, soft lighting & live music. Tucked away just enough off the main walking path, The Gambit was the perfect spot to get off our feet and enjoy a well crafted cocktail. Recommended by another local bartender, we knew we wouldn’t be disappointed. Staff was friendly.
