Went here around 5pm on a Friday after hitting the slopes, and it was busy. It was electric and lively. Note, this bar is very very small, maybe can fit 20-30 people comfortably. We got lucky arriving as part of a table was leaving. There isn't a menu, you just tell the bar tender what you want and they'll make. It's a little more sophisticated than a late night bar, where you can order more than just a vodka soda. We asked for something pear related, and another drink that tasted tropical. The drinks overall were good. The pear drink, they alerted us they don't have pear but can try to make something close to it, came out tasting like apple cider which was tasty. The second drink was a pineapple forward spiked pina colada, which was not overly sweet either, a plus.

Nice cocktail joint. Bad Kitty Lounge. Vail, CO

Such a cool dive bar for a great cocktail amongst the locals! This a great little hideaway tucked down under the main drag, next to a tourist shop. Well hidden and deservedly so. Excellent & strong cocktails! Limited seating and WELL WORTH THE STOP! Great photo ops on the lower side of the creek just outside. Check this place out while you're in Vail for a break from the norm posh and polish!

Cool small basement set up. Not much a craft beer selection. Cocktail-vodka was great. Loved the wall paper in the bathroom.

Steven will make you any drink--he makes a mean aviation

Just popped in for a quick cocktail before dinner and was blown away by Steven's ability to craft the perfect drink. He will make you anything your heart desires and he does a great job. The atmosphere is rat pack swanky and cozy. Pop in for a a quick drink or bring in your own food if you want. This place is legit amazing!

disco boot!

I was in the mood for some wine tasting and since I couldn't get to a vineyard. I decide to my own…read morewine tasting. Jeremy was very nice. He was not only our bartender but was also one of the owner along with Samantha who I got to meet for the first time. Everyone was so friendly and was definitely a win connoisseur. I love their happy hour from Vail. Everything was price reasonable. I love that you could get any wine for 3 ounce for half the price. That allowed me to try almost every wine on the list. Yes. I was very happy when I left It's definitely a hidden gem. Will try to come back!

Visiting Vail for a quick getaway a few weekends ago made me realize (again) that this mountain…read moretown renowned for exhilarating outdoor activities is a foodie destination with so many options to choose from Michelin-recognized restaurants to something more casual. And to stumble upon this chic and inconspicuous cocktail bar in the busy downtown was something I wasn't expecting and became a treat after a nice stroll through the town after dinner in my hotel room. From the moment I stepped inside, I knew I was at the place where my heart was calling for. There were two gents at the bar and one of them warmly greeted me and said I could sit anywhere I would like. I hence picked one of the bar seats. Except one table that was occupied by a couple I was the only one. I appeared to have picked the right time; I had the whole bar to myself (eventually though, several different groups of people streamed in; only a few of them sat at the bar close to me. The bar was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate a little over 10 people.) Jeremy, who greeted me upon arrival, was a super host. As soon as I explained that wine is my usual got-to, he said he could mix and match reds and whites to create a "flight" based on what I had told him as to my likings. His extensive explanations as to what sorts of reds and whites the bar offers/serves was (of course) all in his memory. His eloquent speech with no filler words truly impressed me; he sure is a wine connoisseur. What he picked for me were... -2024 Pepiere "Les Gras Moutons" (Muscadet) -Kobal "Bajta", Hazole Belo (aka Orange Wine) -Sandlands "Red Table Wine (Lodi Red Blend) With his wealth of knowledge, after giving him only a hint of what I liked, what Jeremy selected for me to sample/sip was a superb choice. All of them were world-class excellence with elegance and beauty. I carefully and slowly sipped each one little by little to truly immerse myself in the art of wine. Yes, wine is a piece of art for sure. I think I said it correctly at the beginning of this review. This is a cocktail bar with variety of spirits which Jeremy could easily concoct just about anything from gin-based one to vodka-based one to tequila-based ones to whiskey-based one to name several. For those who don't drink, their zero-proof section also has something interesting to browse and choose. Not to mention, rotating pilsner or IPA on tap to name a few from the beer section as well. If you need a little bite to eat, their (changing) food menu has a good number of New American-style plates. The bar originally opened in a different building back in 2015 (I believe). They moved to the current location in 2019. They also offer various different classes so you can expand/extend your knowledge. So for your next foodie vacation in Vail, make sure to include Root & Flower in your list.

Chasing Rabbits? More like Chasing Dessert, Dignity, and Fresh Air…read more We came to a rabbit-themed restaurant, and somehow they did not have carrot cake. That is like going to Red Lobster and being told they are out of seafood. Carrots are literally the rabbit's entire brand. Absolutely unserious behavior. Then we ordered a dessert drink that supposedly came with bunny ears. It arrived earless. At this point, the rabbits weren't the only things being chased..... Just when we thought the evening couldn't get stranger, someone walked past our table and crop-dusted us with the confidence of a person who had diplomatic immunity. I cannot prove it was the hostess, but spiritually, I believe it was the hostess. The breeze had authority. The atmosphere was cool, the concept was fun, and the experience was unforgettable, primarily because our bodies may retain the scent forever. No carrot cake. No bunny ears. Mystery gas attack. Somewhere, Bugs Bunny is contacting an attorney. As I sure as hell will be

I felt like I walked into a speak easy. The restaurant was full but I was able to walk around and enjoy the decor and score some super cool pics. I would recommend coming with a resy.

Must try is the pork shank. Seems like every table ordered it. I like my grilled mahi mahi with asparagus, quinoa & creamy harissa sauce. I like the well decor atmosphere & open kitchen. They also have outdoor patio. Great service. Prices are on average for Vail Village. Would love to go back and try more!

We literally had a terrible time and couldn't stop talking about it the entire time we were there. We tried to order the burger and replace the pimento fondue with a slice of cheese. Waiter had no problem with it, and I bet that's ridiculously easy for the kitchen to do, especially because they have other menu items that have cheese slices in it (e.g. grilled cheese on the kids menu). But I guess some manager dude woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and decided that he needed to go on a power trip. He personally came over to our table to say that they will not replace the cheese. And then he had the nerve to ask us why we don't want the pimento cheese. Does everyone have to like the flavor of pimento cheese? If I owned a business and one of my staff did that, I would have fired that person on the spot and given them advice to change their line of work because you can't fix or train out that sort of lacking judgement.
