This is a review for the German-inspired beer hall in the Two Elk Lodge.I was very disappointed with the service at the beer hall. Specifically, the bartenders were misidentifying the Weihenstephan beer they had on tap on 3/30/24. The bartender was telling people that the beer was a lager. I ordered one and tasted it, and the beer was most definitely the wheat beer, the Weihenstephaner Hefeweißbier.For context, I am a super fan of this beer specifically. I always seek it out and am always surprised whenever I see it on tap or in the 1L bottles. So suffice to say I was ecstatic when I saw a Weihenstephan beer on tap at Vail. Even if they had been serving the lager, which isn't my favorite, it still would've been very impressive to have it imported and on tap.Let me be clear, I am still very happy that the Weihenstephaner Hefeweißbier was on tap. My issue is with the disregard for the beer from the servers. I think the most basic requirement is that they should know what beer they are serving and correctly inform customers of the thing they are ordering. I'm also deeply motivated to make this review because I think the owner/operational manager for the Two Elk Lodge should be more aware of how their servers are serving the beer that someone surely put a lot of effort into sourcing and importing. I'm sure they are either 1) German or 2) a German beer enthusiast, and they would be disappointed to hear that their servers are not even advertising the beer correctly. I do hope that the Two Elk Lodge improves on this in the future.

Came in at 2:50 went into the food court and saw 30-40 meals pre prepared and out. Didn’t want anything but came back at 2:58 asking if they were throwing them away and yes all that food wasted. Vail says zero waste by 2030. Sure are doing a swell job vail smh

"Disappointing experience at Two Elk Lodge. The overpriced bratwurst lacked flavor, making it an unappealing choice. I expected better quality for the cost."

Despite its picturesque Swiss-style ambiance, the food at this lodge falls flat. Overpriced and underwhelming, the bratwurst is particularly awful—avoid it at all costs. Save yourself the disappointment and dine elsewhere.

We brought our own food! Thank you for such a gorgeous building and view to eat and enjoy!

Been eating here for years. Sometimes the food can be hit or miss - $20 for a chicken sandwich and it should taste good. Generally it is good, however. Clean bathroom and staff keep tables cleared and clean.

This place is at the top of Vail Mountain, and it's the perfect place to take a ski break and get a drink or a bite to eat. The food is cafeteria style, but it's tasty. Took 1 star off because it's so very expensive for what you're getting, but it is ON the mountain, so they know they have you by convenience.

Solid mountain top lodge. Acceptable food, decent bathrooms, but challenging to find a spot to sit (it's busy). However, not much sure what more you ask for on top of a crowded mountain. I had the gilled cheese (excellent) and tomato soup (marginal). If the prices bother you do t go skiing here. Its expensive.

Best spot to eat on the mountain. Plenty of food options and a big space with a fun atmosphere and vibes. Kinda pricey like everything else but a must try at least once while there!
Excelente place to grab a bite after a morning of skinng. They have beer bar on a separate tent which gives it a great atmosphere.

If you think Vail it’s magic. Stop dreaming, vail it’s how we can take advantage of you pocket al the time. Here it’s burger with Fries +30 usd after tax, chicken fingers +25 usd after tax, ONE SLICE PIZZA +27 after tax. It’s not only the price it’s the low quality food. And not only that the service it’s so bad some of the people working does not speak the lenguaje because the hire foreing (to pay less) I don’t have nothing with foreing because in one of them. VAIL ITS REAL THIEVES.

Out of all the places owned by Vail resort this is my favorite place to go to eat, I like the location I like all the choices for food. I like that the bathroom is easily accessible.
