Love this place! Came in the other night to watch the football games and got cheese curds and a Caesar salad. Both were incredible and the vibes were immaculate. Service was amazing as always. read more

Best bar ever! Preston is the best bartender ever and is so personable. Remembered all of our orders. Food was also delicious. Wish I could have stayed all night! read more

8-7-2025 was probably our worst experience ever at a restaurant. The bar tender had the worst attitude of any human. Most likely hates her job and life and made the lodge connected go down 10 levels. She should be tossed out or trained on customer service. Don't go here unless you want to be treated like crap. And the food sucked. read more

Do not eat here pricey and terrible food and bad service. The waitress that served us had the audacity to increase to price of my bill because she was upset my friend only tipped 10%. This bar adds their own tips on your bill very fraudulent activity. read more

Some of the worst service in history. Only explanation is everyone serving drinks is high af

Would not serve me alcohol because I have a vertical ID from Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has laws stating that they only give a horizontal ID AFTER the vertical one expires. This happens to be AFTER your 21st birthday meaning you cannot get a horizontal ID from PA until the vertices one is expired. Deliberately denying alcohol services due to the fact I have a vertical ID is a disrespectful thing to do especially when I go to the bar to try and have a relaxing fun time. read more

Don't bother. Food is bad. Service is super slow. The whole place has fruit flies and smells bad for a sports bar. Bobs place in Avon is a better option. read more

My boyfriend and I just had the most bizarre experience of our life here. We were staying at the Evergreen Lodge in Vail over the weekend, and we were so excited when we found out the "Best Sports Bar in Vail" was right inside our lodge/hotel. We figured this would be the perfect place to watch the Super Bowl as they were decorating the area and getting the bar/restaurant ready to host lots of people. When we first talked to the front desk about it, they told us tables would go quick and recommended we reserve a table by putting down $100. So, we figured this would be worth it so we did. Oh how we wish we would have known what the night would entail... When we first sat down, the manager told us "we only hav 3 waiters tonight so it might be awhile". We sat at our table for probably around 25-30 minutes with absolutely no service whatsoever. It's as if we were invisible. Two servers, one younger girl and one older man, walked around the bar/restaurant serving others around us without even looking at us. Finally, my boyfriend had to stop the man in his tracks as he was passing us, and kindly asked him, "Would you be able to serve us?" And the man immediately looked annoyed at us and simply stated, "Well, I CAN serve you". ?? This guy, maybe around late 40s-50s with longer brown slicked back hair, is the reason we will never come back here nor recommend this place to anyone. Slow service is one thing, we completely understood it was a crazy night and would not have minded at all had that been the biggest issue. The bigger issue was that this man could not have been meaner, ruder, more disrespectful. My boyfriend and I are a younger couple, so we weren't sure if he didn't want to serve us because we looked like we wouldn't tip or what? My boyfriend is an attorney and I'm a registered nurse and we definitely have the money/always tip at least 20%, usually more than that if the service is good. So the man takes our drink orders without even introducing himself (so I can't even give a name), and leaves without saying a word. We wait about 20 min to receive our drinks. When we received them we put in an order for a pizza. When we were done with our first drink and ready to order a second round, not a single person would stop to help us or wait on us. The waiter would blow past our table without even looking at us. After probably 45min-1hr of us being completely ignored, my boyfriend walked up to the bar and asked if he could order food and more drinks up there. They told him they would send the waiter our way. The waiter comes over and comes up behind my boyfriend and says in his ear "what can I get you", no apology no other words, and in a rude/unhappy tone as if we were the biggest burden to him even though he was serving tables full of 5+ people and chatting them up. He ordered a beer and I ordered another drink, and in the middle of me speaking as I stated "and we also..." (to check on our pizza), the waiter stormed off when I was mid-sentence. My boyfriend and I looked at each other so confused like what just happened? We hadn't been anything but nice and patient with this waiter and for some reason we were getting the worst treatment in the whole place. Everyone else around us was getting drink after drink as well as food for the whole table, while our waiter is just blowing right past us all night. So we try to ignore it and not let it ruin our night and continue to watch the game. We ordered our pizza around 4:30pm when we first got there, and by 5:30pm we still had not received it. We kept trying to flag down the waiter to remind him/check on it and he would simply look right at us and ignore us and walk the other way. 6:30pm comes and we were really frustrated because the waiter had not even come by at all and we still hadn't received our pizza. My boyfriend decided to stand up and stop the waiter as he was passing our table and says, "hey I'm sorry, it's been 2 hours and we still haven't received our pizza". The waiter looks at him and asks what pizza we ordered. The pizza was out 10 min after that, so who knows if he even put the order in in the first place. Once we got our food and next round of drinks we felt better and just decided to not let him bother us. The waiter drops the check off and my boyfriend immediately puts his card down, but the waiter doesn't come back by for around 45min. My boyfriend goes to the bar to drop it off and the waiter immediately got ugly with him saying "STEP BACK FROM THE BAR IM COMING" and snatched his card out of his hand. We wait and wait, then finally see the waiter head to another table to give them their tab, but as he's walking back to the bar and past us, he drops my boyfriends card on the ground in the middle of the place. My boyfriend runs over to grab it and walks up to the bar and simply says "you dropped my card back there here you go" and this is the when the waiter gets EXTREMELY ugly with him. (CONTINUED IN PHOTOS)! read more

Male server there was a complete ass on Super Bowl night yelling at customers when they simply would ask a question. He ruined the experience for everyone around him and had no remorse. read more

they have a notice that this was voted as the best sports bar in Vail, ...are you kidding me? I wonder who voted for this? water tasted terrible, they should have filtered water in some way. not a classy place by any means. they served their drinks in plastic cups. asked for hot peppers with my meal, but I was almost finished with meal when they showed up. they have a long way to go just to be okey. won't be coming back. read more

The service is awful. While this will never be considered an award winning culinary experience, it could easily be a great spot. However, the staff doesn't pay attention and just hangs at the bar looking at their phones. A little effort would make a HUGE difference. read more

After walking through and grabbing a drink or appetizer at several 'Village' (i.e. tourist) venues in Vail during a weekend trip we asked the hotel staff where THEY hang out after work. They pointed us to Altitude, 3 or 4 blocks off the beaten path. It was awesome. Sat at the bar and Shawn the bartender educated me on some high-complexity shots, guys in ballcaps watching the game, and I learned the merits of Frangelico after another patron gave me a sip of his (it tastes like chocolate cake in a glass...were you aware of this? Was it just me that didn't know??!). And because it wasn't high traffic we got to play as many games of pool as we wanted for free because no one else was playing. Still close enough that we walked back to our hotel afterward. I wish I could've taken Altitude home with me, it would be a regular hangout. read more

Service was awful, waitress and bartender were taking shots instead of helping customers. Food was horrible.

Whatever you do, do not come here. Our wedding party booked the bar out for an after party (well in advance) and the working staff closed the restaurant before we even got there. We found out they were closed when we arrived with no advanced notice. Terrible restaurant. read more

After sitting and waiting for 20 minutes nobody had taken our order so we left. The staff didn't seem to care, so I'm guessing it's not an unusual customer experience. read more

Never got past the gatekeepers of the phone. I was staying at Evergreen Lodge and Altitude Bar & Grill is *inside* the lodge so it should be easy to place an order and pick it up, right? Wrong! Front desk put me through and I got hung up on. Called their listed number and same thing happened. Called 3rd time and gal said bar phone must not be working. I asked, how do I place an order? She put me on hold and never came back after 10 mins. :( read more

Nice local place that is conveniently located in the Evergreen Lodge hotel. Nice selection of beers. Bar food is pretty good! Several pool tables that are in very good shape. read more

PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE!!! The service was the worst I've ever had in my whole life. Started with a couple leaving and I asked if we could have their spot and they said "of course, but the service is so slow". We decided to sit at the bar to get faster service but that was where it went bad. First appetizer came out and was burnt... so a kitchen staff member proceeds to come out and brings me the food I just sent back. Already rude, tells me and the other people I'm with, that I don't know what I'm talking about and that's how it's supposed to look. Literally puts his hands in the food and breaks it apart trying to prove his idiotic statement. We all knew it was burnt and he couldn't take it for some reason. So sad to see the response from such a simple mistake. Next, the bartender was the most blatantly rude and disrespectful person I've met in a long time. His responses were out of line and you can just tell his doesn't care about you or your experience at a new place. I couldn't believe the way he was acting towards us and made everyone I was with extremely uncomfortable.... So sad again.... Ended with us getting the check and we needed the appetizer taken off because we didn't even have it after the whole outrageous situation with the kitchen staff member. The bartender was swearing at us after we asked for it to be taken off which caught us all by surprise. To say the least, we left right after that. I would give this place 0 stars if I could! ! read more

I almost changed my mind when we walked into Altitude because it looked like a sports bar that wouldn't have the best food.... BUT the food was delicious (we all had burgers), the beer was cold and the service was awesome. Great experience. read more

The hours posted are not accurate. We showed up to grab a drink and the workers were in there drinking and were super rude to us. Will not EVER go back here. They lost a lot of business.. read more

Bar food was pretty great. Drink selection was awesome. Got the smoked turkey melt and the bbq chicken flatbread. So good! What was even better was the location at the Evergreen Lodge so it makes it real easy if you are staying there. read more

Waited 15 minutes to get a table and ended up going to bar to order. So annoying, ok food though.

I'm a big fan of this place! I stayed at the Evergreen this past week for the World Youth Fly Fishing Championship and I can't say how much fun I've had in Altitude. The pool tables are awesome and they really draw a friendly crowd! The people are great and the staff really know how to make you feel at home. I loved the fact that Kelsey remembered my drink order from night to night...Always a great thing in my book! Kelsey served me dinner one night in the banquet room and she was totally on top of her game, very friendly and a great personality in a busy situation! The entire staff makes you feel like you're an appreciated customer! Great service, great food, great drinks and even better company! I'll be back! Can't get enough of this place! read more

I don't know what idiot runs this place but to have one server (count them one!) working a full bar?? SERIOUSLY one server??? This isn't the first time you morons. Every year it's like this. If you worked for me as a manager is fire you so fast your head would spin. In terms of the food etc. The food is okay, not bad but not worth making a special trip for. The environment feels tacky and lazy. Honestly the whole hotel feels like some tacky joint that is pulling in money merely because it's vail. Let's be honest, this s*#t show is probably for those who want the bargain vail experience. read more

Friendly service. Great food. Cold beer. Very affordable. cozy atmosphere. BBQ chicken pizza was quality flavor, would ask for extra chicken next time though. I loved the spicy BBQ sauce you used for the pizza. Generous portion of sweet potato fries. #DalesPaleAle #Vail #Colorado read more

We were staying at the Evergreen so we visited this place almost every night for 5 days! Our first night we got in a bit late so we thought we would keep it easy and eat bar food..... All 21 of us in our group were amazed by how good the food was. Steaks, salmon and burgers were amazing! We were shocked how good the steaks and salmon were! The drinks of course the most important part of the meal were also a hit! Overall service was great the could of used a few more employees but the two of them handled it like Rock Stars! read more

Stopped by at this restaurant looking for a cold beer and some decent food. We ended up waiting around an hour for our food which wasn't bad but our server didn't give us a heads up. Our server geo never came by to ask if we wanted any more refills as we waited for our food. He didn't give us any silverware or napkins and once we asked for them we got them once we finished eating. The food was great but the our server was probably the worst I have ever had!!!! read more

Reefer, Justin and Chase are great! They really made our stay at the lodge feel like we found friends. This place has great burgers and wings. It's a cool little chill spot to meet up and hang. read more

First of all, this has been my local hang out for years.... but the hotel it is in has a new owner. The new owner has put some money into the bar. New tv's, new tables yada...yada..yada. I had a great chicken sandwich, and tried to order cheezy fries. I mean fries with cheese.... its not rocket science. They have cheese nachos on the menu for cripes sake. But yet I was told NO when I asked for cheese on my fries. It is a bar... maybe it is only me that think cheese fries should be served at a bar. Come here if you like a lot of T.V.'s... but not if you want cheezy fries. read more

Ok....just so you know, this is a locals hangout and dive bar Vail style. We loved it! But that's what we were looking for. They have 3 pool tables, tons of TVs playing a great selection of sports, music and inexpensive drinks. I was very impressed that the bartender didn't give me attitude when I asked for a certain sport to be put on TVs near us. It's a relaxed low brow establishment and there may not be any stars there. But we loved it! read more

Do not visit this establishment. We got a table, waited 25 minutes and not one waiter even glanced our way. No water, no acknowledgment whatsoever. The server we saw was too busy petting the large black dog slobbering in the doorway and chatting with her buddies. Unless you know a server, you will not be served. And if you are served it will be halfassed with dog hair on your food. The health department should shut this sad place down. read more

This place is fabulous. I have dined at the cafe as well as the bar and I love the locals vibe...you can tell this is a place that caters towards travelers as well as locals. It's not easy to find a "locals vibe" in vail and the evergreen lodge does it well. Thanks! We will be back soon! read more

Stopped in to watch the 1st half of the Panther Seahawks game. No problem finding a table. Ordered the Slope Fries (blue cheese version) and the hummus and chips. The Slope Fries were OK, however very salty. The blue cheese on them was good but too powerful. We had to tone it down with ketchup. The hummus lacked flavor. Chef... Add lemon juice, garlic, paprika and maybe a little salt. Just a suggestion. read more

Great location but awful service. Not a reflection of the employees but they're significantly understaffed. Food was good and drinks were cold. Atmosphere was electric and fun. Just don't expect to eat or drink in a timely manor. Pizza is the best dish. read more

Average bar food and little to no service. Ordered from the bar to go, wasn't offered a water or anything while I waited. Interestingly they had some Korean food mixed in with the standard bar fare, although the pho had run out by 8pm. Took about 15 minutes before the bartender realized my burger was taking too long. I can appreciate he was trying to hurry things up but the burger was pretty rare instead of medium. Musty smell is fitting to this low key drinkin' hole. Probably the only refuge from Vail's stuffy upper crust. read more

Burger was mediocre at best and for some reason the cook put cinnamon sugar on the sweet potato fries. Who does that?

Great, non-pretentious bar in Vail with good service and a nice, mellow vibe. Perfect spot for after ski-drinks and yummy bar food if you don't want to fight the crowds. Plenty of tables were available for our crew of about 8. The fried sweet potato bites were amazing after a long day on the hill! It's apparently a great spot to watch KU games, so I'll definately be returning when I need to watch my alma mater. Definately worth checking out if you're looking for a low-key bar scene that's a little off the beaten path. read more

Can't complain about this place. Always feels weird walking into a hotel just to hit the bar, but it's Vail. I'm getting used to it. The people here are pretty friendly, and were rather forgiving in spite of my first visit to this place being a rough night (haha, Katie knows). Can't comment on the winter experience, as I'm new to town this summer, but it's a low-key place to hang and chat. There are digital trivia games, and stuff like that, too, if you're into it, along with the pool (and the pool). read more

This place used to be a great spot with a fine menu and familiar faces. I go for the tv's, as they dial in any sporting event on that day. The new menu is below average on selection. The food is just ok. The wait staff is solid. For Vail, I expect better. read more

Working the Burton US Open and came here to relax and have some dinner. Great beers and food is pretty good. Pool tables and plenty of TVs for the sport fan... Friendly service. read more
