$50 for a Coors Light pitcher. Enough said... Came here with a party of 7 for a friends birthday. Ordered two pitchers at the bar and sat at a table. Repeatedly asked while sitting at table if we needed anything when clearly we still had drinks. Once we finished our two pitchers we ordered 1 more pitcher and upon leaving were charged for two. We explained that it must be a mistake and we were told that we were WRONG. Credit card charge disputed.

Decent value for drinks. Gets jammed. Get in early and grab a table. Bartenders have some fun so a bit of banter to be had

For a hotel pub this place exceeded our expectations. Granted it is at a high-end Marriott in Vail…read morebut still the food was excellent. The smoked salmon deviled eggs were almost shocking. The first bite surprised me and interested me and my girlfriend looked at my face and said how are they? I told her I didn't want to prejudice her so just to take one and tried herself. She did and the look on her face was probably like mine, surprised. We both agreed that they were different than any other deviled eggs we had ever had and they were very delicious. The presentation was very nice as well. We shared a beet salad and they split it onto plates for us and it was more than enough for each one of us. We also split a pasta 25 which was good but I had to ask for salt-and-pepper as it was in need of some spices. This is simply the bar/pub in a busy hotel but the kitchen really has it working! The staff did a good job as well but they are mostly very young people working seasonally so you are not going to get professional waitstaff as you would in a high-end restaurant like Leonora. It was still a great experience in the food was surprisingly good and super convenient since we were staying in the hotel.

I really don't expect a five star meal at a hotel bar restaurant…read more However, I would not come back here. The food was not very good at all, with the exception of the huge quesadilla appetizer (which came with a ton of fun toppings). The service was terrible. The music was nice. I ordered the turkey panini. Huge serving. Turkey, pesto, spinach, cheese, tomato, bacon. All these ingredients, but somehow this was very bland and soggy. The bacon was barely chewable and had no flavor as well. It came with a side salad. The salad looked delicious but had no flavor or dressing, and the few small croutons on top got soggy from the wet salad toppings. Yuck. I also tried the elk burger. My fiancé ordered this cooked medium. The sides were cooked fine, but the inside looked like ground beef you'd see in the raw meat aisle at a grocery store. He was unable to eat any of the middle of the burger because of this. Now we would've complained about the burger because this was health hazard undercooked inside, but our waitress never returned to ask how our food was until our food was long gone. No water refills so we refilled our own glasses with my reusable water bottle. No bill until literally 30 minutes after we asked her (and this was long after we were trying to figure out why she was not coming back to our table). It was a bummer because she was very nice, but we got no actual service from her.

Ok so we googled for a place to eat and chose this place at random, I wasn't super convinced with…read morethe menu but decided to try it out anyway. WELL, SO HAPPY I DID!!!.. Beginning with the greeting, they were absolutely lovely, very polite, sat us right away, we went on a non busy day so we had pretty much the second floor to ourselves. The host was lovely and then our waitress came and was just as nice, a great way to start a meal. We ended up getting the buffalo wings, SO GOOD, crunchy, lathered in sauce, tender enough, so flavorful, with a side of ranch. We had the onion rings, and let me tell you, those were BIG rings ! Again, nice and crunchy and so enjoyable. Last but not least, we had the loaded nachos and WOAH! Let me tell ya, this dish can feed up to 4+ people! It was only 2 of us and we were in shock at how big these nachos were so keep that in mind! They had beef, pico de gallo, salsa, cheese and they used different chips too, the regular and the blue tortilla chips, omg MOUTH WATERING! Full of flavor, very well made, everything about them was great! To drink we only had club sodas with lime but they do have a full bar and by the looks of it, they had it all so if Youre a drinker, this is also the place for you! The place was chill, dimmed lights, nice music not overly loud so you can still carry on a conversation , and very clean which is always on top of my list. The price was reasonable and I just loved it! This place was great in every way! Definitely HIGHLY recommend!

Service was friendly and fast! Great beers, boozy root beer float was amazing!! Burgers were all…read moreoutstanding and cooked to order (especially the specialty bison burger) note: the elk sausage is cut thin like bacon on that burger. Great onion rings and wedge salad. Have been coming here for YEARS and it never disappoints!!

Ambiance and service is terrific…read more Food, particularly the Colorado BBQ Menu foundation has been hit and miss over the past decade. Current Management is extremely dedicated to the "We Do Not Suck," goal. High Side now has three (3) locations; Breckinridge, Fair Play and Frisco. The actual BBQ pit is in Fair Play, and high quality meats and game-based sausages are supplied to the pit. BBQ is distributed to Breck and Frisco. During my tasting the sausage was moist and flavorful, turkey was amazing (so moist), pork shoulder was nicely smoked, and the brisket, although tough, was flavorful. Also tried delectable Mac-n-Cheese, Green Chili, Red Chili. High Side is dedicated to community involvement and occupies a great location in Frisco. They also genuinely care about customer satisfaction. Kurt Zolbe is your man if you have any issues.

Whoever is running this place has no clue about customer experience. They leave the doors open in…read morethe freezing cold. They have one guy working the whole place including food and drinks . Yes one guy!!! I waited forever to get a drink and just left to another bar then came back and still looked at me and didn't say one moment or anything. He looked like on the spectrum of retardation. Bands here get no good lighting or ambience. They should be out of business. Another bartender from before hates his job and acted like was doing a favor to get me a drink all annoyed. They are lucky mid season not a lot of options open now so they get away with crap food and service.
