The restaurant renovation is beautiful. We loved our meals and our server, but didn't appreciate the owner or manager or whatever he was conducting business with our server in front of us. Do better. Your employees deserve a leader who appreciates them. read more

Midturn Saloon -- a full-tilt yes. Warm, confident ambience. Dialed-in, knowledgeable staff. Food that's creative, thoughtful, and genuinely exciting. Pricing is higher--and exactly right for the quality and imagination on the plate. Standouts: pork cheek tostadas were fabulous--rich, balanced, and a total sleeper hit. Chicken Enchiladas were good (not great), but still solid. Fish tacos nailed it with cod that actually tastes like fish--clean and briny in the best way, not masked. Bottom line: style, substance, and swagger. Freaky wow. read more

Recently went and had dinner at the Minturn Saloon with my husband. We hadn't been here since they re-did the place. Def made it more modernized, but kept the cozy mountain vibe. I think they did a great job! We shared the corn dip app and the steak & shrimp fajitas. The fajitas were delicious and perfect for two people. Will definitely be back when we return in May. read more

Minturn Saloon - Love Minturn Saloon! - Mexican Near Me - Minturn, Colorado

Came back to Minturn Saloon after many many years and although the place looked different from what I remember, the food did not disappoint! I would describe Minturn Saloon as local hangout spot with great food. As soon as we came in we were greeted and showed to our table. Our waitress, Tasha , was so friendly and gave us the story about the recent remodel and talked to us about the menu. We quickly ordered our drinks and chips and salsa and by the time we were ordering our entrees they had already brought our chips and dip. We were 6 people dining and everyone got something different. We all loved our meals! I had the fajitas and they were amazing! Others for the enchiladas and tacos. Everyone was satisfied we also ordered the cookie skillet and the brownie skillet to share for dessert! Both were delish!!! Overall this place was wonderful, for the food, to the service, to the ambiance, this place is 10 stars!! If you are in the are and like Tex mex food, this place should be on the top of your list!! read more

Why The Saloon does not have 4-5 stars is BEYOND ME. It should. It's exactly what it's supposed to be, a fantastic casual restaurant and bar. Live music, great food, fantastic drinks. If you are thinking about eating here. Do it. The service is great and the waiter was funny. My husband and three kids ate here and they even had drawing tablets to keep the kids entertained while we drank a pitcher of margaritas. I had the enchiladas - fantastic. My husband had the quesabirria and he loved it. The kid food was perfect - maybe order extra fries for skiing all day. Enjoy!!!! read more

My first time back today after new owners renovated this historic landmark in adorable Minturn. I have so many great memories dining here with my nanny family when we went skiing in Vail. What a wonderful renovation! They kept the warmth and charm and celebrity autographs with a much needed upgrade to the infrastructure and aesthetics. The food is better than I remembered, still Mexican themed but seems more polished. I had the smoked ribs which melted in my mouth and my partner had the birria tacos, both sublime. And the service is amazing as well. I had made a reservation a few weeks before on Open Table for 5pm but called this week to see if they could squeeze us in at 3 as our hotel check-in was 4 in Eagle. The hostess said the dining room was bought out but that I should come right at 3 when they opened and she'd make sure I got a seat. It was perfect. She and our server took care of us and we were able to dine before it got crazy busy with the apres ski crowd. Will be back! read more

Left feeling disappointed - we ordered the chicken quesadilla and ribs and were underwhelmed by both. The prices just seem so high for what you get. Wanted to love this place because the vibe is great but unfortunately the quality of the food just doesn't match the pricing for us. read more

my loud alarm on my phone went off while we were there. the food is average bar food but the prices are high $$$ and they charge 3% for using a credit card which is a pet peeve of mine. i will not go back. read more

Great selection of drinks. Fun atmosphere. Seating inside and outside. We didn't eat there but heard from friends the food was good.

Best pub in the entire vail area! Cute asf. Russell the bartender is so friendly! Fantastic service!!!! Will definitely be back

New Years dinner was a 100/100 and an absolute amazing experience! The bar and restaurant have changed over the years but it is always a pleasure to visit and eat! read more

Food was spot on! First day they served brunch and they hit it out of the park. Small adjustment suggestion would be to have a couple of kid friendly options. The inside is really e hectic and era correct. Short drive from Vail for a cold drink and great food. read more

So pleased that the Saloon reopened! I first visited 36 years ago and it has always been on my list every time I visit Vail and Beaver Creek, and with it being closed the past 2 years or so, I was thrilled it had reopened just in time for this trip. The food is very good as was the service. Highly recommend. The ambiance is not what it used to be - not as cozy and the antique feel is virtually gone, but times do change. Will definitely be back when I travel to the area. read more

A friend recommended this place from a previous good experience years back. We went and all got duck fajitas and the wait was forever and the food was expensive and just fine. $50 for just me after fajitas and one beer and a 20% tip. Not exactly how much you want to spend away from the ski areas, but at least it was a lot of food. The server put all four of our checks together for some reason, odd assumption that took an extra 10 min to be fixed. Kind of weird atmosphere that apparently did not match what my friend had known and loved in the past. Oh well, wouldn't go again but it was fine overall. read more

Minturn Saloon - duck fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Minturn, Colorado

Phenomenal food and service. Such a great place to have dinner or a carafe of margaritas.

10/10 do NOT recommend. Guy at the front was not friendly. Food was terrible. French toast from the brunch menu was hard and chewy like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. The chilaquiles was a huge skillet full of soft chips and enchilada sauce that tasted like it can out of a can! There was hardly any meat with one egg on top. Salad was ok, but not a $20 salad. The value wasn't there. 3 mediocre entrees and 2 draft beers for $100. Edited to respond: inflation impacts everyone. Other establishments are still able to provide good food and service under the same circumstances. It's not the price, it's the value and quality of the food/service that's inexcusable. read more

This place is a normal stop for is when in Vail. Liked the atmosphere food was decent. They have updated the place and it looks very nice. Service is still pretty good. But I guess they need to pay for the updates because prices have gone up a lot for what you get. A drink even bottom shelf tequila and water is $14 bit pricy in my opinion. But the thing that bugs me is I could get fajitas for $25 with salsa and beans and rice. Now I am spending $40 for fajitas no beans or rice and the worst is a tiny container of salsa is extra $2 extra. Why do I have to pay that much extra for something that should be included with Fajitas? Probably won't be visiting again. Sad. Oh just to let you all know the menu has been cut to a quarter of what they use to serve. The fajitas were decent but could use more seasonings wasn't very flavorful. read more

Firstly, when I walked in I could tell I was going to have a great time. Everything down to the music and decoration contributed to this restaurant and I could easily tell what vibe they wanted to persuade. Our server was very kind and full of information. The food came quickly and we were never rushed. The food itself was very good. I got the birra(not how to spell it) tacos. They were very good and filling. The area around this resultant is also amazing. It's located in a cute small town surrounded by beautiful mountains. The only thing I would like to see improved is the bathroom. Pretty boring 7/10 bathroom. Would come again!! read more

If you blink, you might miss this gem of a Saloon. The town of Minturn isn't very big, but it's an awesome town! We stopped in this past week. Sunny day but a little chill in the air. Decided to sit outside and enjoy the weather. Our server came right over with water and chips and salsa. Took our order and off we went! I can tell you the margaritas here are delicious! We also ordered guacamole for the chips. That was a little pricey at $8 for a small cup of guac, but it was very good! The atmosphere and decor is great! They have a lot of signed pictures from celebrities who have visited. Definitely make this a stop if you're ever in the area! read more

Unless you have deep pockets and like really odd Mexican foody menu...AVOID! Was a favorite stop for years when in area. Hadn't been in over a year and 8 months ago a menu and interior renovation changed everything. No ribs or burgers and everything is coated in tahini. A very small cone of popcorn is $7. Very little for kids read more

July 2019 Heading east through the Rockies Andra and I took an adjacent road to the freeway thru some towns in Vail Valley. Came upon the very cool town of Minturn when, lo and behold, a saloon popped up right in front of our eyes! Not just any saloon but The Minturn Saloon. Had no idea...3pm on the dial so we were thirsty. Andra said, "Let's go have a beer or 3, if we're lucky the bartender will have some good recommendations." We got lucky as Bartender Cory(?) gave us the real deal spot to stay for the evening and where to go for a good steak. Good time shootin' the shiznet with him and a couple of local gals at the bar. One of the best stops of our trek to Ohio. read more
