Great local spot with a chill vibe. We had lunch and enjoyed the Gorgonzola chicken sandwich, buffalo chicken sandwich, meatball sub, white chicken chili. Service was really good and food was delicious. Family friendly. read more

What a great place to go, hasn't changed in over the last 30 years that I have been going there. Still looks the same and the food is still good. I WOULD recommend. read more

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

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

I visited this restaurant after a long bike ride and was happy to be able to get a good draft beer and a burger. The menu is traditional American fare and will work well for anyone seeking a nice meal and outdoor seating. I had a burger and fries - decent and reasonably priced. read more

Bart & Yeti's - Outdoor seating is very pleasant. - Dive Bars Near Me - Vail, Colorado

Bart & Yetis has a great atmosphere! Cozy tavern style with sports memorabilia all over the walls. We went as lunchtime and the place was bustling with skiers taking a grub break from the slopes. Staff is friendly and attentive. The menu has the perfect amount of offerings so that there is something for everyone but doesn't take 20 min to read through. The two kids got buttered noodles which came with toast. We opted for some soup and a burger. The chili was good piled high with onions and cheese. The special soup of the day was a coconut vegetable curry. Flavor was good and it had plenty of veggies but it could have been warmer for soup standards. The sweet potato fries were also good in flavor and texture but again could have been warmer. I would def try this place again because it seemed to be a place that's tried to make customers happy, perhaps the not right off the stove temps of the food was just a misfiring on someone's part and that can happen! read more

Two stars for the positive atmosphere, friendly staff and good skinny fries. The veggie burger was horrible. Tasted like the worst frozen one available on the market. There are so many great options these days - impossible burger (had a good one at Garfinkles this week) beyond burger (my favorite), or dozens of frozen options that are full of flavor and real beans. Even the bread was sub-par. Come for the beer, not sure about the food. read more

Vail is known for it's more upscale dining options, but Bart & Yeti's has stayed true to it's long-standing character and feels more like a pub, with a rustic-like atmosphere. This restaurant is located in Lionshead and has been around for decades. It was a great spot to grab lunch after our day on the slopes. I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich and my husband ordered a bacon cheeseburger. Both meals came with fries. The food came out quickly and tasted great. read more

We were looking for a place to grab an early dinner after a day hiking up berry picker and had gotten a recommendation to come here and specifically try the chicken wings. Neither of us were particularly in the mood for a drink after our tough hike at altitude so maybe that was our problem but we were not particularly impressed. Our server felt very curt, didn't particularly welcome us or give much feedback. I overheard someone else asking him about lagers to get and he just kind of tossed him the menu rather than have a conversation about the options. We ended up just getting some wings and a chicken fajita salad. The wings were pretty good but the salad was disappointing. Mostly iceberg lettuce, bland and not much to it. Definitely not enough tortillas if the intent was actually to make fajitas with it. Overall the experience was fine and it's a great location but I would look elsewhere if I'm back in the area. read more

Great outdoor seating area with live music. The Buffalo chicken sandwich was pretty tasty. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly.

I visited with a group of friends while we were on vacation because it was about the only place open. Turned out to be a great choice! A fun dive bar that's bigger than it looks. They have a nice outdoor seating area but the weather wasn't cooperating so we sat inside. We got the mozzarella sticks and shared a BLT sandwich. It was the perfect size to split the two and not have extra. Our waiter was so much fun! He was attentive and got all of our orders spot on. We ordered some shots to use their shot ski which was a fun added touch. read more

Solid, casual spot to get some american grub in Lionshead. It's a little pricey for what you get, but given that it's located in a ski town, it's on par for the area. Our waitress was very friendly and brought out all of our dishes quickly. The patio is nice for dining outside and looking out into the town. The food wasn't anything particular to write home about, but the atmosphere is way more down to earth than some of the restaurants over in Vail. There's also a decent beer menu. Overall, positive experience! read more

Visiting from Portland, Oregon for my best friends wedding and wanted a beer and burger and stopped in here. We're pretty spoiled back at home with delicious foods at affordable prices and cheap libations. So being in Vail is obviously overpriced for everything. That's just how the cookie crumbles. The service was wonderful. Everyone was friendly and our waitress was very attentive and sweet. I wish I could give a higher rating but the food is just average. For the price I was hoping for a little better quality. Of course it's cheaper/dive for Vail but that doesn't say much since Vail is just a pocket drainer. Nice outdoor seating, and again everyone we encountered on staff was friendly. The rating is for the food. read more

Good food, drinks and service with classic ski resort vibe. Not too loud for conversation and plenty of choices on the menu sure to please. I had the burger and it was satisfying. read more

We had Monica as our waitress....she was awesome. The whole place is way laid back, Irish Pub and pub food......and it was all excellent. The Normy Wings were were dry rub....and they were excellent. My wife had the grilled turkey & swiss....and it was excellent. The Onion Rings side ...... they are not cheapo, they are hand battered type and excellent. They have all kinds of beers, and it was cold and they've got big ones for a good price at a resort, I was super happy. I'll be telling everyone to eat here when we're back skiing instead of here in the summer. read more

Quick service around 6:30 on a wed. Large house salad with delicious balsamic dressing. French dip was filling, chicken sandwich with bbq sauce...Mmmm. Cozy fun spot. read more

I would do terrible things for Normy wings right now. I would do even worse to the jabroni who complained to the health inspector about dogs in the bar area. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. read more

Great classic ski town bar! Great food, good beer and great atmosphere. Dennis the owner and bartender is great. Good prices and a place to feel normal and a laugh during these crazy times. Shouldn't go to Vail without making a stop into Bart and Yetis! read more

Came here on 7/27/22 at 3pm and the server was awesome. Food was good and not crazy overpriced. Good bar food. Would definitely come back

Cozy, comfy and reasonably priced. Stopped in for a beverage and a warm up! The stew was delicious! I don't have much to say other than STOP HERE! You won't regret it. read more

A short wait to get a table. Staff was friendly but overworked and unorganized. They do give you some water right away, so do most places in the area. Gave our order for drinks. 20 minutes later we get most of the drinks. 10 minutes later we get the last drink ordered. We are told by our waitress she will be right back for our order. Well, 10 minutes or so is right back. We place our order. At that point a table next to use with six get seated and table with 2 are seated nearby. Watch a family next to us try to get the waitress attention to pay the bill. Finally, all leave but the one paying. Then had to wait a long time to get his credit card and final bill back. Well the table for six and the table for 2 get their meals before us. Our order comes out and the food is pretty good. My Dino Sandwich was very good. It is a chicken sandwich with Swiss cheese and some rip guacamole. Too bad the service was so bad. read more

I thought this place was pretty great. The Irish coffee was perfect and had a little crème de menth topping. The wings were pretty tasty. They fry them, and then finish them on the grill. I would say their wings are in my top list. read more

Great food and service! This is the perfect casual spot for after skiing! We will be back!

Tried to place a to-go order, response was - kitchen is pretty slammed right now, we aren't taking any orders. Guess we won't bother trying to go there and eat either. Lame. read more

Been coming here for years! Best beers and wings after a long day on the slopes. Beef stew is delicious and burgers good too. If you want a simple dinner after skiing that hits the spot for everyone in the family this is it! read more

The service was good. The food was average bar food. My issue is that the prices on the sign outside, were different from the menu, and were different from the digital menu on the table and then they charges $2 more for everything on the bill with telling you. Shame on you. read more

"Dive" bar but a really good one. Very cool vibe. Feels authentic and homey. Irish stew was obviously homemade from scratch: so tasty. Had the Seasonal Salad (spinach, romaine, goat cheese, cranberries, and walnuts): fresh and yummy. Server very prompt and kind, had German accent. Will come back and try some other food next time! read more

Green Chili is FANTASTIC, contrary to whoever obviously has never had green chili before. Always a great place to go. Always great food and great service. I don't know what everyone else is talking about. read more

This is a classic that's been here forever. Fun atmosphere and nice patio but all around average food. Super friendly staff though.

Sat on the patio for a beer and wings. Took awhile for the waitress to take our order (had to eventually tell the host we were ready after 10min of hangin there, she told me they were catching up after apres.) when the waitress came she was excellent. We did 23oz beers, fries, and the Normies world famous wings (get them they are incredible.) 4/5 for the long wait but fantastic wings and excellent beer prices. read more

Bart & Yeti's -- Local's Bar Since 1975 Wow what a find -- and recommended by a local of course, as this place is known as "The Local's Bar Since 1975" -- truly friendly and old-fashioned good 'ole service kind of place -- in the heart of Vail! I asked for something not on the menu, and they kindly made me one of the best patty melts I've ever had and even hand-made thousand island dressing for the sandwich to boot! -- best part of about it was the truly friendly sprit of simply giving me what I hoped for! The restaurant should add a patty melt to the menu -- and the rest of the menu was robust with classics and everyone in our party raved about their food. The place is rather small and intimate (with patio outside also), which are all parts of the magic -- and the decor is rustic and classic ski resort chic and just as comfortable as can be... and the bar area was equally as welcoming! I wish all places were this authentic, especially in ski towns! read more

I'm never so disappointed by a togo food. I couldn't leave the hotel room so my husband went to get me soup and he ordered a salad and a sandwich too. The picture I'm attaching is a $9 less than 8 oz soup. The menu says bread comes with it and there was no bread. My salad also did not come with dressing as well. My husband waited at the bar for a long time as well so I can't say customer service is great either. The food is great though that's why I'm giving 2 stars. I felt really unjustified for the 6 oz cup of soup. read more

Dined here February 4, 2017. Had the Irish Nachos (smothered fries; appreciate the big pieces of bacon); chicken fingers (good and came with fries, celery & carrots - would've liked to sub out the fries for more veggies) & the Fat Tire (again not as good in CO for some reason). For a "dive bar" would've thought there would be more beers on draft (nope). read more

The atmosphere was awesome, it feels like a bar at a mountain town ought to feel. Unfortunately, one of the kids plates (Mac and Cheese) was cold and maybe uncooked, the chicken wraps and sandwiches were underwhelming and the service was very poor. I want to be understanding of coming in at the middle of the day and I don't think anything was malicious, but I feel like your time and money ought to be spent on going to the Tavern around the corner. I'd rate this one star, but I typically reserve that for the particular dreadful restaurants that are intentionally bad. Feel free to come here, but definitely stick with beer. read more

Currently sitting down as I write this down. Came here for my husbands birthday. Randomly stopped by around 7pm for a quick bite and some beers. Hostess was nice but our sever Steven W. must have have a bad day because the moment we finished ordering our appetizer he was keen on removing our menus. We felt rushed the moment we got there and we could tell whenever her was cursing under his breath. My husband and I both work in the service industry so we understand the troubles that come with the job and we always work around it and try to be super helpful (not leave a mess, stack plates, etc). We also noticed the bartender poured a beer into an incorrect glass and then or server proceeded to offer it to my husband as a "birthday beer"... totally fine, but we know the trick dude. Nachos were good. Server needs to part take in the recreational activities that Colorado offers, he could lighten up a bit. read more

After a long day of skiing, I would literally (with enough ranch dressing) eat a live baby wallaby. But, this cute, super casual spot serves up the some of the best cheap bar food I've ever eaten. And I've fallen asleep at and been asked to leave MANY bars, so I would know! At first the wings seemed small and visually I was disappointed, but they were phenomenal in flavor and quality. Also, the Irish nachos, are literally just loaded fries as in load my face up with the purest, most beautiful form a potato has ever been presented to me. The onion rings were so good I ran and collected those golden rings like Sonic the f**king Hedgehog. read more

Bart and Yeti's was the perfect place in Vail to stop for a quick lunch. I would say this was typical bar food that wasn't too expensive. The portions were adequate too. The outdoor seating was plentiful and it is dog friendly. read more

I showed up to pick up a takeout, and as soon as I walked through the door, the hostess barked at me, "we're closed!" After I explained that I'd called in a takeout, I was told to wait. While I waited, the hostess was rude to several other people that tried to come in. The hostess then expressed her frustration to me. I said, I think they're confused b/c there are a lot of people here and it looks like you're open. She said, "These people are all locals. Those people don't get special privileges." My takeout arrived a little later, and I left. I had ordered a "cheese burger with only bacon and cheese" for my child. When I got back to our place, I realized that they had put only bread, bacon, and cheese in the box. Funny. I guess since I'm not a local, I don't get "special privileges". read more
