This was a fun venue, definitely outdated on the inside. But a nice apres ski spot as there is often live music. Space Bacon was playing when I came here and tickets were very reasonably priced. There is also ample parking here. The inside has a large bar and tables and a repurposed fire pit to sit at. There is an old run down ski ball and basketball machine which would really be fun to use if they were functioning. There is food here mostly hot dogs, fries, and late night bar food at higher prices as well. read more

- #TBT REVIEW - Three years ago, as part of a long weekend ski vacation, we visited here with tickets in hand for RUSTED ROOT! Yup, a bar/club that usually sees the likes of smaller cover bands and local DJs managed to lock down Rusted Root! Not only that, but our $25 general admission tickets got us as close as 5 feet away from the stage of this cozy venue. Despite the sellout crowd (thank goodness we bought in advance), the bar wasn't overly packed. We were able to snag reasonably-priced drinks throughout the night and groove back to the dance floor for the three hours they were on stage. Bartenders were overwhelmed but friendly, and drink prices ($5-8) weren't overly "taxed." If you're staying at either the Snow Lake Lodge or the Lodge at Mount Snow, Snow Barn is just a short walk away. If staying elsewhere, you can catch the free MOOver (http://www.moover.com) shuttle, but be warned that their service stops at 5pm. From reading the recent negative reviews, it's a shame to hear that Snow Barn has perhaps gone downhill from the times we visited. Again, we went for the concert, so if you're in the same camp, I'd suggest you check the music calendar (http://mountsnow.com/livemusic) and plan your visit accordingly. At the very least, you can always enjoy a bit of history...The Snow Barn used to be Reuben Snow's barn, who owned the base-area land. After the land was purchased by Walt Schoenknecht in the 50s, it was converted into a ski lodge before being once again converted into the bar/club it is today. read more

Skip this bar. Craziest thing happened to my group at Snow Barn last night. We were there watching the NFL Finals on their 2 Small screen TVs because this bar was close to our hotel. After spending 3 hours there with all of us eating, drinking, tipping we were asked for $25 each to stay longer. Their reasoning was because a band was playing. We would have stayed all night and spent so much more than $25 each. The owner or management must not get it because the staff said this happens all the time. I never heard of an establishment that kicks out their best customers. The only reason anyone might go here is because of it's proximity to the mountain. Make plans ahead of time and go somewhere else. read more

Got there at 6 PM, stayed until close- spent $200- not one buyback.... The bar got crowded, went outside to have a smoke- bouncer did not let me back in for 40 minutes. He said it was too crowded, I said I already paid and showed him the stamp on my hand. I didnt care about seeing the shitty band, I just wanted to get back in so I could start necking on the dance floor. If im not going to be allowed back in after 5 minutes, please tell me that before stamping my hand and letting me out. An extra star for the large local contingent. and the pizza is not good read more

Snow Barn Nightclub - Pesh playing air hockey against the band - Bars Near Me - West Dover, Vermont

South Vermont's hottest night club is the Snow Barn. It has hippies, live music, hook the ring on a string game, townies, cougars, old people, young people, people with and without higher education, questionable levels of intoxication, people questionably on drugs, crowds, and sweat. Go early or wait in line. Coat check is free. Cover is $5 for Fridays and $10 for Saturdays. If you buy your tickets online you can magically cut the whole line. Friday is local night so bringing your couzzin is A-okay, Saturday is relocated vacationing New Yorker night so don't expect people to be overly friendly. read more

GENERAL / BAR - If you're staying at the mountain and don't want to stray far, it's walkable and has a full bar with a decent beer selection, but those are about the only perks I can see. I'd be tempted to stick to the bars that are even closer to Grand Summit next time, or drive further away. We were there for 1.5 hours or so...then between being bored and skeeved out, took off. CROWD - If you're a group of girls, I'd be hesitant to go here unless you're looking for a lot of attention or the crowd is significantly better than when I was there. Don't get me wrong, I expected a high male to female ratio, but it was well above 10:1 that night, and a lot of them seemed to be locals. We all couldn't help but wonder if this is the place locals hang out in hopes of finding a "what happens at Mount Snow stays at Mount Snow" piece of tail. Even as a guy it felt weird there. Minimally - I'd suggest asking to have one person peek in to see the crowd before paying the cover. FOOSBALL - Fix the damn Foosball table....get some 3M silicone lube, and perhaps enough balls to actually FINISH a game. $1 to play, only to run out before either team wins (unless one team absolutely destroys the other). Such a shame...it's a nice table (Tornado), just poorly maintained. MUSIC - How about keeping a Jukebox on if the band is going to take 1.5 hours to setup, during half of which they were literally just standing around. read more

I downloaded the Yelp App to steer people away from here. Before any of the service, this seemed like a nice spot. Old school arcade games, pop a shot and pool seemed like I was in for a treat. The minute the bartender in the Wu Tang shirt opened his mouth, the night was shot. Cursing out customers is something that's normal for this staff. Unbelievably disappointed in what I thought was going to be a reek night with the crew. I would not recommend to anyone trying to have a good time. read more

This aprés ski oasis right off of Mt. Snow may not be cozy, glamorous or even particularly fun...but it has some things going for it. Pros: - Proximity to the mountain. Unless you want to extend your stay at the Main Base Lodge at the bottom of the mountain, you're sure to end up crossing the street to Snow Barn for a cold one in the early evening. - Price. Cheap drinks, cheap eats. - History. The building was once Regan Snow's abode; since he was the farmer that Mt. Snow was named after, it can't hurt to take in a bit of local lore. Cons: - The metal ring/hook game. Straight up dangerous. People are swinging a large metal ring attached to a string in the ceiling across the room in an attempt to latch onto a hook on a pole. I watched at least two people get clocked. - The atmosphere. It's pretty trashtastic. It's crowded, they have semi-crap bands that manage to charge $15 at the door and there's a few too many families with drunk parents with kids running circles around piles of empties. read more

I'm here after new year's@7pm. The place is dead and the bartender had misshap with a take order. They called back and she was so accommodating and made every effort to remedy the situation. The manager is friendly the pizza was great and it's clean and nice for families or to just hang out read more

Aside from the bands that go on, everything about this place is TRASH. I've never really seen anything like this. The bartenders were legitimately going out of their way to f*** with customers. They seemed to thrive on starting conflict and yelling at customers for simplest of things. My wife was yelled at for closing her tab...what?! Other members of our group were yelled at for ordering too many drinks despite making it clear they were ordering together as a group. Like come on guys. If you want to mirror the identity of a trash dive bar on a failing college campus yeah keep it up, maybe some of your regular customers may deal with your bullsh*t. Otherwise, wake the f*** up, you guys aren't good at anything. You probably wonder why your customers are pissed and you aren't making tips. Sorry for asking you to provide the basic services you are PAID to provide. Oh one other thing, figure out whether you can change the channels on your TVs. Guess what it's March Madness and some people might like to watch March Madness, turn off the junior wrestling championships on ESPN the Ocho you clowns. read more

The bouncer snapped my ID in half to 'make sure it was real' WTF He wouldn't even apologize and kept laughing/telling me that Florida IDs snap in half if they're real. That test makes NO sense. Worst establishment ever. Wrote to management and never heard back. read more

I arrived at 7pm to watch the Pats finals against Kansas City. Myself and two buddies ordered many of drinks and pizza from 7pm to 10pm ($250 worth) until the live band came on. Once the live band came on the power tripping bouncers kicked us out. The bouncers wanted us to leave and re-enter paying a $25 cover each. Meanwhile our tab was still open and would have stuck around to hang for the band and continued to spend money. Totally insulted and the entire bouncer crew surrounded us. Place is terrible customer service wise. I suggest choosing elsewhere. Actually, I don't suggest I'm telling you go somewhere else. read more

Cheaters paradise. This bar is wall to wall married men looking to kiss single ladies (successfully, with many of my friends). Our one unmarried guy friend got thrown out after buying everyone drinks - presumably he was diminishing the chances of all the married men. It was a good time. Would probably go back if I ever find myself in mount snow again. read more

Really solid venue to see a concert but unbelievably rude staff. Not one to complain but saw multiple instances where a bartender exerted more effort to create issues for customers rather than solve them. Great layout to have a night, pool table, sub par pizza, etc. but the Richard behind the bar belongs at Dick's Last Resort read more

I don't care what you say. The Snow Bar was everything I wanted it to be - making for one of the most fun nights...ever. A weekend in Vermont thanks to Teddy S. and her fam meant it was time to party. I sauntered in with 7 of my college girlfriends after too much wine at dinner and a full day of tubing at Mount Snow without any expectations in mind. I was wearing my Hunter's rainboots and jeans, so you know I dressed up for the occasion. Call me classy, because I was ready to get 'Slizzard. Alison F. and I made a bee-line for the bar and and after guzzling a Jameson and coke, I switched to beer and started to shake my tailfeather on the dance floor. The band was the best cover band I have ever had the pleasure of dancing to. They played everything from Gaga to Dexys Midnight Runners and I will tell you what, I thought for sure Eileen was in the same room as me having a Bad Romance. Every time I wanted to take a break to get another beer or use the (incredibly dirty) restroom, a new song would start and it was hard to tear myself away. Not only was the music good enough to put on Sirius, but I kept dancing because the drinks were so cheap I could continuously consume them. Now, I realize that once again my review reflects my overindulgence in alcohol, but I prefer to say "overserved" and therefore not my fault. (I do blame/love Alison F. on this particular night however, for constantly bringing me more beers. Thanks, man.) The crowd was A-W-E-S-O-M-E. Big up's to the guys with the Moose Beer Pong Weekend (in matching tee-shirts). You guys rocked. The vibe was chill and fun, the drinks were cheap and frosty and the good times were abundant. I would head north again just to party here. Snowy Dive Bar Win. read more

THis bar needs to be redone it used to be a great place to meet with friends or take the family after skiing. They lost the fire pit, which was the best part of the bar. The music has gone downhill. Beer selection is good, but still charge 5 dollars for a bud. I've been here more than a few times for dinner after the lifts close and been kicked out at 730, after dropping 80 bucks on food and beer. Only so they can re-open at 745 and charge me 20 bucks for cover. Needless to say I did not go back. I went down the road to the saloon and saw live music with no cover and better atmosphere. read more

I'm not sure why everyone is so hard on this bar! We went there Saturday night despite the reviews and it was so much fun! The staff was friendly and prompt even though it was packed. They had a great live band playing. Everyone we met there was social and in a good mood. We loved it!!! Oh and they have pool, ski ball and a ton of other fun games!! read more

At the base of Mt. Snow.... I was here with a group of women who completed the Tough Mudder last May. We arrived during peak "drunk-hour", which we weren't, so it made for prime people watching entertainment....decent sized dance floor. Besides getting hit on by some sketchy harmless characters, we actually managed to get some free beers! The bartenders were easy going and friendly. The band rocked some original songs that night and was really good....sadly I didn't catch their name. The only downside was that they close a tad earlier than bars in the area...I speculate it's because it's located on Mt. Snow property....the locals kindly directed us to the other bars which would still be open. read more

Came to this place for the tough mudder post party, and it was just a-ok. Nothing special to talk about. There was a $10 entry fee, not really sure why, and a free beer, which was nice, but the place is relatively small and crowded. The bartenders were nice and very quick, so we didn't have to wait long at the bar. There is a small dance floor with a few tables, as well as a round table, pool table, and a few other tables/chairs lined up against the wall. Not sure how this place is in the winter. Didn't try any of the food. read more

Just visited this place tonight with three friends. We had just gone for dinner and were planning on stopping in for a drink on the way home. We are all Irish and in our early 30s. One of the guys had a European drivers license rather than a US license or passport so the little power tripping fart on the door decided not to let us in. read more

Get your bartenders in check! They're rude and honestly need to realize they're in East Dover, VT, and they're business depends on tourists. Don't scream at people for taking 4 drinks when they were given 4 drinks. LOSERS! read more

myself and 2 friends got kicked out cuz we wouldn't pay the cover for the concert. we arrived 3 hours before the concert - had $250 of food and drinks - are all nice respectful guys - and also the highest paying customers they had all night - but cuz they had a concert come on they told us to leave or else pay $25 each. who the hell kicks out their best customers? who ever runs this place is an idiot, and has a staff to match. read more

Ah the Snow Barn...Once great, now a shadow of it's former self. Pros: -Fun Place -Good local beer selection -Foosball and air hockey table, which I love. -Live music -The coat check person/cashier Claire is a rare gem. Cons: -The bouncer/dooman is a complete psycho on a power trip -The live music, well they don't bother much to book good bands or musicians anymore, so it's pretty lame cover bands most nights. -Even though the place may be half empty, said psycho bouncer keeps people waiting outside regardless of snow, ice, rain, wind or - degree temps. -When crowded, the wait for a drink can be considerable. Overall, given the lack of bars in the area which have live music, the snow barn is an okay choice if you can get past the crappy bands and nutso doorman. However, there are better choices in the area if you just want to go have a drink with friends and have an actual conversation. read more

1/4 mile from the base of Mount Snow is the Snow Barn. They serve quite a few Vermont beers, including Trapp Family, Otter Creek, Long Trail, as well as Sierra Nevada and some others from outside VT. They have a pool table and a couple other games to help occupy your time. Some basic pub grub, such as pizza and wings is available. We ordered several pies while there and were pleasantly surprised by the fact that they were pretty good. Some of their staff was less than enthusiastic about our big group from out of town (& spending quite a bit of money), while others were nice. All in all, it was a good way to spend a few hours after a long day of snowboarding. read more

Went here with high hopes of a great night but we got kicked out before we even stepped foot inside. In -20 degree weather we were told we had to wait outside for 20 minutes, even though it was almost empty inside. The bouncers were obviously on a power trip. Shame this place is being ruined by such assholes. Been coming here for years and there always seems to be a problem. Not welcoming for business. Back to drinking in the condo it is. read more

I ate pizza at the Snow Barn, and by the time I arrived home I was vomiting, which lasted the entire night. Not sure what they did, or what the problem was, but I think it might have been old/bad cheese or something. The place is kinda dirty and gross, so you never know. I don't recommend eating there! read more

Horrible experience... I got kicked out for ordering too many drinks for my friends which is ridiculous since we literally just got there and the fuckin bouncer dude kicked me out. No fight or alternation involved. Don't go here if you wanna have a good time read more

Good enviroment! The pizzas are good but a little pricey. In the winter is where you have to be if you want to dance until very late. I went for the Halloween party but it ended very early, bummer! It is in the winter when Snowbarn is one of the best places in town! read more

We waited outside in the cold for 20 minutes as the door staff periodically let let a late arriving "private party" cut in front of us, Upon paying the entry/coat check fee we were told by the coat check girl that there was no more space for coats and to "come back in a little bit". Upon entering we went to the bar directly to the back left where drinks were being served and waited for our turn to be served, a girl working behind the bar (Who we did not know was a bar back)impolitely yelled to everybody to "just pretend I'm not here ok?!". The bartender with the baseball hat was not paying attention to the people lined up at the bar and looked over us two times. After looking over us for the second time for a male customer who arrived much later than us we spoke up to say that we had been waiting in line, this is when the female bar back yelled out again "Everybody will get their drink okay?!. Mt Snow / Peak Resorts - If you think this property represents your resort well, think again. We stayed at the grand Summit Hotel. read more

The service is awful. Takes over 2 hours to get your pizza and the waitresses are rude. In addition, there are much better places to eat in the area. read more

Don't go here unless you enjoy getting kicked out for no reason with a full drink in your hand. The bouncers are insane and on an power trip that kicks out people for having a good time. Feels like they waited until we bought a round and then kicked us out. Ridiculous. Plus the band sucked, and there is nothing good to do there. Only one pool table and some shitting broken video games. Just do yourselves a favor and don't go there. read more
