Came in for "just one drink" and ended up discovering the hot chocolate with RumChata... which is basically a warm, cinnamon-spiked hug in a mug. Dangerously good. Also, shoutout to the awesome blonde bartender who made it--friendly, quick, and clearly knows exactly how to keep people ordering "just one more." Will absolutely be back. read more

I stopped in about a month or two ago with my friend that was in town. I got a boat drink cocktail that was delicious as well as a seasonal salad that I enjoyed. The service was great. We sat outside and although it was crowded we were able to find a table before Apres truly started lol. read more

We just wanted something easy and chill for our first night in town. We weren't super hungry so ended up close to our hotel at Bart & Yeti's! Really loved our experience - lots of the cutest doggos on the patio and great food: *Green Chili (Pork green chili served with flour tortillas) - apparently green chili is all the rage in CO!! I thought it was a NM thing but I'm not complaining! Bart & Yeti's was flavorful, thick yet lighter than a traditional chili! *Chicken Wings - we got it NORMY style. Apparently that is the WAY. It's almost like barbecue AND spicy but ALSO grilled (you can see distinct grill marks). It was fire. *1/2 Rack Ribs + Chicken Breast plate (came with coleslaw and fries) - I let our server know we were splitting it and it was so nice that they brought it out pre-split for us! Talk about awesome service. read more

They do not have a covered patio and don't allow dogs inside - despite coming up on searches looking for a covered patio.

This was one of our favorite places to go during our stay at Vail. If you're looking for a fun bar with good food, great drinks and amazing company, you'll love it here as well. The first time we came, we met so many friendly people and locals including the owners that made us feel right at home. We could've talked to them all day! This bar has such a fun and great atmosphere and very cool decorations. We ended up coming back 2 days later for food before making our journey back to the airport. We saw some of the same people here and had just as good of a time as our first visit. We also split a burger with a salad and the Irish nachos that actually blew us away. To end the trip, we also purchased some hoodies for the memories. Absolutely love it here and can't recommend it more read more

A great place to relax after a day on the slopes. Listen to the long time regulars share stories about Vail. Good beer and food options. Nice patio to sit outside and people watch. Always friendly service and barkeepers who will have a story to share. read more

This place is so trash, nachos tasted like they were a day old & reheated in the microwave. Dont waste your time here. Service was trash too. read more

We came her after a day of skiing. The place is a cute little dive bar. They were busy around 4 when the lifts closed and we had to wait outside for a little to get a table inside. The lady helping us was nice though and brought us inside once here was a seat available. The food was very average. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip and it was a little watery. Wasn't the best I've ever had but it was edible. It was a little pricy in my opinion. But a nice place to hang out after a day on the slopes. read more

The vibe on the inside was great- classic mountain town feeling. We sat at one side of the restaurant but the other side had lots of tables with families and younger kids- so kid friendly! The apps were great - especially the nachos and cheese curds. My friends loved their meals. I'm a vegetarian and got the black bean burger which wasn't anything amazing but still good. read more

Absolute trash. Burger was terrible. Soup was garbage. Best thing was the pickles. They must not make them. Service was ridiculously slow. They should be embarrassed. read more

Came here for a quick afternoon beer and snacks. Got the hummus and pita bread. Pardon the picture as I already started eating it lol. Bartender was super awesome and helpful. It's opening day in the Vail village area so not a lot is open yet so he had a lot of great recommendations of what was actually open for dinner and what his favorites were. Ambiance is super pub like and fun. Fun stuff on the walls lol. read more

Super cozy vibes and yummy food! We loved the cheese curds and chicken caesar wrap. Staff is very warm and friendly.

Best bar we found while in Vail! Such a great setup, makes you feel right at home. Great people and cold beers, can't beat it!

We were just visiting Vail, and checking out all the areas - Golden Peak, Vail Village, and Lionshead. We were getting thirsty for a beer. We went to a small shop next door, but were told we couldn't have open containers in the plaza area. We were directed to their neighbor that turned out to be Bart and Yeti's that had a patio in addition to ample indoor seating. We got the beer we wanted, and I had some fries. My wife got a soft pretzel. We loved the decor of the place. The inside is like a log cabin, and it reminded us of the places we used to frequent in the 70's, except for the sports memorabilia. They celebrate all sports, but seem to lean a bit toward the Boston Red Sox. The beer was good, cold, and fairly priced. I liked my fries. They were seasoned fries, and pretty good. The wife's pretzel was just okay. She felt that it was a frozen pretzel that they just thawed, which makes sense, but it is something people who like pretzels should know. The place was fairly clean, (except for the birds landing on the tables outside), the staff was outstanding, and the place seemed to be a favorite of locals. I would come back to this place. The location is perfect for skiers. read more

Bart & Yetis is a staple when vacationing in Vail! Great bar food, quick service with an apres ski vibe! We came at the end of ski season in April so I was nervous that there would not be a lot of restaurants open. Bart & Yetis was open!! I had a burger and my daughter had nachos! Serving sizes are big and delicious! read more

Ordered a cheeseburger, recently. A $19 burger with tomato, lettuce, pickles on the side. From years past the burgers were nice & thick. Juicy and rather large. Not so much anymore. But, I'm finding a lot of restaurants in Vail have declined in service, food quality but still way overpriced. My burger this year came with a pickle. One pickle. One single hamburger chip pickle, not a spear. But one thing that wasn't missing was the math. They did the math on the receipt to show me what the various T.I.P. amounts would be. Anymore coming to Vail, I will cook more of my own food and keep my wallet closed. Dining in Colorado has lost its appetite. One last comment, since I arrived early, not long after opening, I was the only one inside. I think I'll stick to Culver's. read more

Outstanding service, decent prices in Vail. Great food highly recommend this restaurant. Also, it has a very rustic log cabin motif inside the restaurant read more

We let the kids go shopping in Lionshead village. We found this little pub and decided to hop in for a drink. The service was very slow unfortunately. We waited some time to order and for our check. read more

We came in for lunch and had a great time! I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich and added Gorgonzola. It was delicious. My husband had the Irish fries which he said were also good. Biggest complaint about Colorado as a whole is they haven't gotten on the liquid cheese game yet. Every restaurant we went to that had cheese anything (fries/nachos/etc) had melted shredded cheddar instead of what would be described anywhere else as nacho cheese. It didn't ruin the party though and like I said my husband liked his lunch so not a big deal. It's definitely a bar atmosphere and the service was great. I'm sure that place has seen many of fun times over the years. We'd definitely go back. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but in from South Florida and been reading reviews trying to choose places to eat. Had lunch today at this bar and grill and I have to say the food and service was excellent! Best New England clam chowder I have had since City Island in the 70's. Fish and chips crisp, not soggy. Fries outstanding! With as many idiotic reviews I have read during my trip, I had to offer some sound advice, but if Colorado-ins critique restaurants like they drive and act on the roadways, then I can understand why. read more

The food and service was awesome! We had the chili, chicken sandwiches, sweet potato fries and onion rings - all of it was delicious!!! The atmosphere was fun - we are only here a few days but plan to come back before we leave. read more

Great little dive bar. Even when it's incredibly crowded, we're able to sit pretty quickly. It's a good spot to go for a low key meal or drink. Even though it was super busy, the service was great! read more

Great food and efficient personable servers. Good ambience. Bartender was the best!!!

Grabbed a few drinks at the bar, this is a small dive bar/restaurant. Bartender was friendly but definitely frazzled at other customers. I loved the spiked hot chocolate. It fills up fast when the lifts close! read more

Great place, good for families. We enjoyed the casual vibe and owner managed feel. Encourage a stop here for everyone!

Oh my gosh. We sure do miss this little whole in the wall dive bar. This was our favorite place we found on our trip. We went in daily for a drink. The bartender (Jules was her name I believe) was so sweet and as soon as we walked in she would remember our order and we were only in town for a week. Such a nice dive bar with lovely locals. The cheeseburger and onion rings here was honestly one of the best meals we ate at in town. They also make homemade soups. I did not get a chance to try any soup but it smelled delicious. If you're in vail and looking for a local dive bar check this place out. read more

The food was mediocre at best. The mozzarella sticks were hard and cold, the marinara sauce was out of the can. The sausage leek soup was salty and over seasoned. The wait staff was overwhelmed and rude. The one redeeming thing about this place is that they are very dog friendly. Dogs are ok on the patio and at the bar. read more

Soooo....based on the rating on here, I was nervous. It wasn't as bad as I expected but nothing I'd want to repeat, unless there were no other options. My son wanted to eat here and not have to wait anywhere else. Since I hadn't done a ton of research before and most Restaurants in Lionshead got mediocre reviews, I agreed. We started with the Newmies (?) wings. They had good flavor but the chicken was weird. I wasn't sure if it was just me but my husband says the chicken tastes fluffy. It did - it was weird. I wonder if maybe it had been injected with brine or fillers, as some chicken is. They were also pretty small. Husband had the Gorgonzola chicken sandwich with Sweet potato fries. The fried were good, I sampled just so I could talk about them in the review I had the 1/2 rack of ribs special and sub'd salad for the fries. The ribs were not as disappointing as I expected and were tender and had good flavor. The salad was ok but better than I expected (expected iceberg). It had romaine lettuce, carrots, tomato and croutons. My son had a cheeseburger with onion rings. There were a lot of onion rings. He said they were good. He liked the burger but were talking a 13 year old here. He likes them greasier and if he likes it, I usually don't. If I think it's really good, he doesn't. Anyway, it was an ok size and is a prefrozen patty. I asked this because I wanted to know if they were made with fresh meat. Which would've swayed me to order one. I forgot to take pictures of all of it except my sons left over onion rings. Though you're not missing much! LOL read more

Really enjoyed our lunch here! Excellent food and attentive staff! Just wish we would have seen the dogs :)

Food was ok. Not special but ok. Ambiance was reminiscent of my college days, with stoned and drunk folks all over in the middle of the day. Bizarre encounter with a visibly altered guy making comments about our 2 year old. Very uncomfortable. read more

Dive bar with very basic food. The food is mediocre. Service was good. If you're already paying to stay in Lionshead, the extra marginal expense to eat lunch or do après at Vail Chophouse instead is totally worth it. Seriously, the chicken tenders, chicken lollipops, and burger at Vail Chophouse dominate the offerings here. read more

Gosh, I am sorry to say I wouldn't come back here. 75 minute wait for our food. Nachos were stale. Chicken fajita salad is not good at all. The burgers are way over cooked. Pretzels and cheese sauce: The cheese was way cold. Kids spaghetti -- kids didn't even eat it. Fries with the meal were ice cold. I could keep going but I won't. Conclusion: This is a dive bar. Come here for drinks. Skip the food. read more

This is a great place to come and visit outside with a few friends, have some drinks and food and just chill. Located right in Vail it is close to any and all shops you can think of as well as the Gondola that will take you to the top of the mountain! I got a few local beers - I would always suggest try the local IPAs that are on draft - and they were amazing! My friends got food and they said it was great and I got an order of sweet potato fries and they were PHENOMENAL! The service staff was quick to seat us as we did not have a reservation and our server was attentive to our needs. There was also live music right behind our table and although our table only sat 4, we were on the patio and our other friends who joined us were able to sit on the bricks enclosing the patio. I would highly recommend if you ever find yourself in Vail! read more

Best burger in Vail, CO and wonderful rustic atmosphere with local servers and friends. The chilis and soups are always my favorites. Specials daily. The best place in Vail to relax with friends and family or meet new friends. The bar is a full bar with cute bartenders Recent addition is the Alpine Pizza Company next door with DELICIOUS hand made Detroit pizzas, fabulous original chicken wings called, "Normy Wings" and to-die-for Brussels sprouts. All to go in pizza boxes or by the slice. Best place to grab lunch and dinner! Heading there now! read more
