Delicious hot chocolate stop! People take lots of ski breaks here. I can also see lots of parents hanging by so their kids can snowboard away. The location is just perfect right at the bottom of the ski hills. Service was pretty solid as well, normal bar food, read more

Scenic spot with limited options, but worth the stop Bars on the mountain are few and far between, so this spot stands out more for its location than its variety. The menu is pretty limited--mainly beer, wings, and a few sides--but what they do have is done well enough. The wings were definitely on the small side, but they were flavorful and cooked just right. I'm usually not into waffle fries, but these were crispy, well-seasoned, and surprisingly enjoyable. The real draw here is the view. If you're lucky enough to grab a table that faces the mountains on a clear day, it totally elevates the experience. Sitting back with a cold beer and a view like that makes the limited food options feel like a minor detail. It's the kind of place where the vibe carries the value. That said, don't expect it to be cheap. With just two people, a couple rounds of beer, and some food, you're easily looking at a $100 tab. But for the combination of good company, fresh mountain air, and that killer backdrop--it's worth the occasional splurge. read more

We hit this slope side restaurant daily and every time it was fantastic! Food was top notch, drinks were money and the service , seating, and views were epic! Frank from Miami and staff were outstanding!! We'll be back to the detailed read more

Don't stop here for food. Walking distance there are plenty of better options. The server never checked on us. He never brought us water. The food was stale. Elote tasted like velveeta cheese and corn with a sprinkle of cheese. The chicken strips were undercooked. The server never came back so we had to track him down to leave. I was vomiting that night and this was the only thing I ate. I'll never be back here unfortunately. And I hate making bad reviews. I just make my choices based on others reviews 90% of the time. So I would want someone to be honest with me before I waste my time and money. Absolutely not worth it. read more

Came around 3:30 on a Friday after a day of snowboarding. Everything else around was pretty much closed and we NEEDED some food to be able to get to the car and drive home. We ordered the steak chili rojo which was a great warmer upper. I will say it has a nice kick to it (I'm a mild to moderate spice kind of person). Our server Jarred was very attentive and nice. I'd come back after a day out. read more

Three bowls of chili with a bread bowl give it a two stars. All three of us thought it was nice and spicy enough with good flavor. I unfortunately received a small bowl compared to the other two. NO beer choices, unless you want bud light and his friends. We sadly didn't have the best service and everyone looked fairly bored or tired and seemingly not wanting to come to work. It wasn't too loud and not too uncomfortable. read more

I have come to dread coming here. It is never consistent how you are to be seated. It says to wait but so many don't and seat themselves so you are left standing there. The manager in the Bill Cosby sweater is not friendly. The servers are often in some state of new so what happens and how much you get charged for drinks is often a surprise. Been coming here since 2018, and I suggest anyone who wants an après ski drink to bring their own, tuck it in the snow in the parking lot to keep it cold, and drink in the parking lot where the ambiance is better. read more

For being so busy, the staff was on top of service. Had to wait to be sat, but then was able to order drinks and food from a friendly server. read more

Went for lunch. Patio nice, beautiful view. Drinks came fast but food is terrible. I've never tasted such disgusting queso and it was unfortunately on the tots we ordered as an app and part of the chips and queso. It was grainy and thick and nothing that resembled either cheese or queso. Super expensive - like $25 for a burger. Would not go back and feel the location doesn't make up for the yucky food. Keep moving to other options downhill. read more

Should've reviewed the Derailer a month ago when we were there. Who knew it'd be the last bar break from a day of snowboarding for the season?!?! Well, that said, sharing this review from my COVID pandemic, lockdown induced free time. This was our first time at Winter Park and after a fabulous day on the slopes, we found seats at an otherwise packed bar - for a party of four, this in and of itself was impressive. Like other Yelpers have commented about, the service was slow to start. It was pretty easy to see why, as the entire place was engulfed with skiers and boarders, all hungry and happily tired. Our bartender was keeping a quick pace and until we got slotted in, we understood the wait. No worries, when he did turn our way, we were each ready to go with food and drink orders. And from then, the service was great. Getting into the rotation was the slight glitch - if ya wanna even call it that. I ordered a Bloody Mary - spicy and practically inhaled it, it was so good. And no, I wasn't that parched, I had already had several glasses of water. Our party shared the green chili tots and left nothing on the plate. Pretty good for fast casual bar food. So.... until next season, Derailer. read more

One of the places where you can chow down after or in between brakes from the slopes. It's located two flights of stairs up and the outside seating is popular (of course)! The inside fills up but empties out in waves. Service was pretty slow to start but if water is a star saver for this business it did the trick. Parched from a combo of falling and doing my version of the speed demon and being called reckless ; a pitcher of water with ice waiting at every table was such a great idea. While the service was slow to start the water kept me way far from being annoyed. Here's a big deal to me too. Once the service started it rolled and it rolled smoothly. We ordered several things. Cobb Salad, Mary Jane Club and an Egg Sandwich. $15,$15 & $12 respectively. Portions are definitely huge and will make you think it's ok to eat there. The Egg sandwich was a surprise to me. It's not the usual. It's actually I think a couple of fried eggs. With bacon of course as my choice. I loved the fries but the guys wanted something softer. This time we loved the Citradelic for our beers. It does taste better than last year. Whatever transformation this beer went thru it worked! Or is it me? Ha. This place works. So see you soon! Tip: need dessert after your dish? Order the Egg sandwich. It comes with it's very own side dish of some cake.!(no idea what n I was hungry but it was good:) read more

I've had some great times at the Derailer, but today felt like things have derailed. I probably saw four to five people chilling behind the bar, chatting with other staff and playing on their phones. I sat for about 10-15 minutes waving my card and ID to get someone's attention (it wasn't very busy). There was one bartender that seemed to be taking care of everything else (bar patrons and drink orders for tables) and my waving didn't get his attention either. It'll probably be a fallback at best going forward (including just heading home), there are plenty of other great options at the base and on the hill. read more

Excellent food! All of our 12-14 year olds ate all of there food. Amazing great service!!

After a morning of skiing, we stopped into derailer bar on property and we're looking to get some lunch and drinks! There was a line to get in so we waited, but what was interesting were some people were getting sat and others were given a wait time. When we finally got up the front of the line, we waited about 5 minutes for a hostess to come around. She told us we'd have to wait about 15-20 minutes. I noticed there were a ton of tables open so when I mentioned that she said we had to wait due to a kitchen issue. The waitress behind her waved her hand to us and told us we could just sit at her table it was no problem. So we ended up doing that. The whole situation was a bit strange, but other than that, the food was good and drinks were good too! I'd be interested in trying a different place next time though read more

I went in, and I wanted a beer. I waited 10 minutes for anyone to even wait on me, at the corner of the bar. A curly, dark-haired bartender asked for my ID and I realized my boyfriend had it. I said, "I'm sorry I don't have it, I'm 29 though." She responded "I can't serve you then." That's totally fine. I understand completely. I said, "okay, I understand." Simple as that. But she continued to rub it in. "It's not worth it to me, your one beer." I responded, "okay, that's fine." She continued..."I mean I'm 35 and I still get carded for cigarettes." OKAY lady I get it! I understand. "Sorry but you need your ID." OMG at this point it is just plain rude and condescending. I legit felt berated and that wasn't cool. Screw this place. There are plenty of other spots, which cheaper beer, nicer bartenders, and more dignity. read more

I only go here for apres ski drinks. They have Accumulation on tap which is just about the only IPA I've ever liked! So good after a day on the mountain. Why only 3 stars? The vegetarian food options here are abysmal. I once modified the chicken quesadillas to veggie and they were greasy and not good at all. Service is usually good at the bar but good luck getting a drink from a server if you're sitting outside on the patio. read more

When I caught a cold and opted out of skiing while my other half spent the day on the mountain, I hung out at the bar from lunch to happy hour time. Probably not the best for my cold, but I couldn't completely puss out! Service was accommodating from beginning to end. Even when they would hit peak times. Drinks were reasonable considering most of the bars there were pricey. Tried the Mary Jane Club - eh, the bar food on the mountain really isn't all that special. So what the hell did I do at the bar all day other than drink hot toddy's? The patio is large and the massive windows provide views of the moguls. Most of the day skiers were doing flips and tricks and falls and tumbles down the moguls. Entertaining to watch. And it was closely located to the Gemini lift and ski shop. read more

Great people, great atmosphere, great service! Being someone with tons of food allergies, Katie & Jessie at the bar made it easy to order and the food was delicious. It's nice to see people with good work ethic! Thank y'all for the great service well be back regularly! A1!! read more

Busy spot at the bottom of the slopes but the food is good! If you're patient enough to snag a spot outside during good weather this is the perfect post ski hangout. Might require a good bit of patience to get a bartenders attention but if you're not in a rush grab a beer while you wait! Pictured are the hot n tots (I think that's the name). read more

Happy Hour is daily from 2-4pm with $3 drafts and $3.75 wells. A fun place for après-ski. Catch a game or on weekends they usually have live music. I love the Classic burger here! read more

My family and I stopped here for lunch SUPER hungry after skiing. We were immediately sat by a super friendly hostess and got bacon bloody Mary's (mmmmmmmm) and beer just seconds after we asked for them. The bar started to get super busy but the staff was amazingly attentive and checked on us. The food came quick too! It was your basic bar food, burgers, chicken tenders and waffle fries, but it was good! Really loved the quality of service and the AMAZING bacon Bloody Mary haha. Will definitely be returning! read more

10/10 experience!! David the bartender was slammed busy and still made us a priority! Margaritas came out quick and were delicious. This is our new go-to spot! read more

Cute little place, of course it's full of skiers, and the favorites are the bar for drinks, or the hot chocolate for the kiddos, I tried there railyard sandwich this morning, and a taste of a burrito, and they were very tasty, the cost was $8 each, which is about right for a small sandwich up here during ski season. Would recommend. read more

Derailer Bar, I like you just okay. If I could give half stars, I'd probably make this a 3.5. Why? Well, you're a resort bar, so clearly the food is always going to be more expensive than it needs to be. Boo. But, I get it. Your menu is short but sweet (thumbs up for the spicy frickles), you carry all the requisite tourist, ski-resort drinks ($2 beer happy hour specials; but your hot toddy? weak!), you've got plenty of outdoor seating, tons of tv's, and naturally a great view. Plus, a few years ago I spent the most hilarious morning here after an unfortunate too-small-ski-boot-had-to-buy-(orange)-crocs-for-the-day incident which also involved me drinking a countless number of bloodies at the bar waiting for my group. Good times, good times. Delicious bloodies, highly recommended. And it's not your fault that people can't read signs (particularly the "wait to be seated" and the "don't bring your own food in" ones), but you may want to step up the promptness of your service. Sure, it's a packed resort, but no reason to be too leisurely about everything. read more

Went to get a mid day beer and some apps and I can't say enough to stay away from the Buffalo chicken dip. Pretty sure all they do is have a flavored powder that they mix with water then heat it up and bring it out to you. Brutal and overpriced(even for a ski resort) read more

Derailer Bar also has Derailer Grill (at least during the summer). Reasonably priced burgers, cheeseburgers, brats and chickie sandwiches. The chicken sandwiches take a bit longer to come up but hey I'd rather pace with grumblies in my tummy than to eat a piece of raw chicken. They have a couple of choices for cheese and they're chocolate chips cookies are soft and finger lickin good! Psst... don't buy a bottle of water. Around the corner they offer free water in Gatorade life dispensers/coolers. When I commented on this to them they gave me my money back and the cookies. read more

Done skiing for the day? Or need a break for lunch? Go down and see Adam the bartender at the Derailer You gotta order the frickles, deep fried pickles! And the white bean soup or chili is actually really damn good and spicy. The burgers are really good, pretty much everything is great! The atmosphere is friendly and fun, perfect for a day of apres ski or just apres ski. read more

Love Winter Park, but don't suggest eating at Derailer Bar. Not even busy, and food came out cold. Waiter was nowhere to be found, neither was a manager. Customer service and food service is seriously lacking. Not my recommendation at this resort. read more

Derailer Bar was our go-to at the base of Winter Park resort every day post-snowboarding. They have a good beverage selection, including Mary Jane beer (YUM!), Belgian beers (fat tires, mothership wit and the like), and nice warm, alcoholic drinks. I loved their French Kiss (Hiram Walker Amaretto, Kahlua and Hot Chocolate), Nutty Irishman (Irish Cream, Hazelnut Liqueur, Seattle's Best coffee), and Sexual Chocolate (Hot Chocolate with Stoli Raspberry and whipped cream). There's nothing like a warm alcoholic drink after a long day of snowboarding. Their app list is pretty short/limited, but they serve the standard bar fare: chicken wings, nachos with baked beans (yummy, but extremely unhealthy), quesadillas, and mozzarella sticks. Don't expect anything healthy like salads or sandwiches here.. Derailer faces the slopes, so you can ppl - / slope-watch as you indulge and gorge. They also have paintings/pictures of train wrecks, trains derailed which lives up to its namesake. read more

The 5 star is for service . It's a resort so your beers won't be cheap but affordable. I've been coming here for years , what I've noticed , If you come in like a complaining guest just being a jerk because you think your entitled cause your from Denver, then all I can say is...maybe in general Everyone will treat you like that . Even other guests . But the bartenders always bit their lip and stay professional This place has the best service behind the bar anywhere on the Mountian . read more

A decent place to grab some food and beer for lunch or after skiing. They have a nice patio, which is prime for people watching. Everything is about as expected for a place like this- it's all just okay. Service is hit or miss. Prices are high, but that's no surprise for a mountain spot. The chicken in the Mary Jane club was pretty tough and dry. I ended up picking it all out and was left with an expensive BLT. The burgers are usually pretty good, as well as a majority of the appetizers. read more

The Derailer is the perfect place to unwind after a day of skiing. Great patio and beers on tap, along with appetizers that hit the spot. Pretty good happy hour specials. Service can be a bit slow, but it's because of the sheer number of customers and customer turnover. It's a busy place. Prices are high, but it's a bar at the bottom of a ski resort so if you're not anticipating high prices you probably shouldn't be at a ski resort in the first place. read more

Great place to come have a few brews get some grub and hang out. Nadia and Kayla are awesome bartenders, hit them up. Love his pace

Alright, let's be honest, it's a bar in a ski resort, so I came here with an expectation for curt service and overpriced drinks, however, I was very pleasantly surprised. We decided to check this place out after a brief day of skiing and enjoyed a nice view of the mountains and crazy expert skiers. As for the drinks, my wife ordered the romchatta variant and the in-law ordered a similarly sweetened liquor. Both were reasonably priced and definitely strong enough to add an additional layer of warmth. We didn't try any of the food, but at least based on what we saw, the serving sizes were respectable. I'm personally against spending money at tourist traps, but hey, it could be worse, right? read more

Went here twice with my lady. She ordered a dirty Shirley temple so they asked for identification. They were fast and efficient. Didn't try their bar food but I smelled it from the table of guys sitting behind us and it smelled nice. Not really much else to say. They serve beer and 5-6 apps. read more
