Do you want to sit in great leather wing chairs, sipping a handcrafted cocktail, catching up with your best friend? The Vic has them. Do you want to enjoy a fresh new band, singing the evening away? The Vic has that! Are you wanting to hang out with a group of buddies after a big workday and decompress. Come here for that experience; they've got the perfect place for just that! This Tavern is versatile, beautiful and has a great team of talented servers. Our favorite place to hang together and enjoy people in the evening! Thanks again, Bill

Liberty Hall is absolutely amazing! Joe was an absolute pleasure to work with while planning our…read moreson's rehearsal dinner. We rented the venue for the evening, and everything exceeded our expectations. The drinks were fantastic, reasonably priced, and served with exceptional hospitality. Joe went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. In fact, I joked that if we had requested an elephant, he probably would have found a way to make it happen! His dedication to customer service is truly unmatched. Joe and Thomas were outstanding bartenders--warm, welcoming, and by the end of the night felt more like family friends than staff. Since we were coordinating everything from out of state, Joe's responsiveness, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail made the entire planning process seamless and stress-free. I can't wait to visit again, and I enthusiastically recommend Liberty Hall to everyone I meet. If you're looking for a venue with exceptional service, great drinks, and wonderful people, this is the place!

Nothing feels generic, and each one has its own personality (ask about the seasonal specials, they're happy to talk you through the ingredients and inspiration). The space itself has a warm, well-designed feel without trying too hard. Good lighting, comfortable seating, and it's the kind of place you want to stay for a while. Staff are attentive and clearly passionate about what they're making, and the regulars are friendly and easy to strike up a conversation with.

However, we stopped in Saturday night and we were only one of two couples in the place, we were greeted, but once we picked a table we were never given a menu or checked on to place a drink order. I went to the front to grab our own menus, and still wasn't waited on afterwards, so we left. Maybe I misunderstood the process and I was supposed to order at the front? But there was no direction and we ended up feeling weird about our lack of interaction and left.

Salida is a town that feels meticulously arranged by a diorama enthusiast with a penchant for the…read morefrontier. Nestled among the peaks of the Sawatch Range, where tumbleweeds might theoretically roll if they weren't caught in the spokes of a passing bicycle, sits an establishment of peculiar perfection: The Biker & The Baker. My compass has unerringly pointed to their door every single time I visit Salida over the past five years. It is a tradition forged in sugar and chain grease, where the rugged American West meets the precision of French pastry. Pairing high-desert riding with artisanal baking seems like a recipe for a pile-up, but the execution here is a sweet ride. You will find aerodynamic cyclists sitting elbow-to-elbow with flannel-draped modern prospectors, united by a singular quest for butter. The Biker handles the gears, the Baker handles the tiers. They aren't just coasting on charm; they are pedaling toward culinary triumph, baking up a storm that rivals the monsoons over the Arkansas River. The confections are miniature monuments to indulgence. I have routinely panned for gold in this valley, but the true motherlode is their lemon tart--a symmetrical marvel of citrus striking like a high-noon sun. Their charcuterie boards are arranged with the geometric exactitude of a surveyor mapping a railroad. Whether you are gearing up to summit Mount Shavano or recovering from a grueling promenade, this sanctuary provides the requisite fuel. It is the exceedingly charming destination itself.

However, if you want a place to watch a competitive sporting event you'll want to avoid this place like the plague. Men's US Open tennis match between Tiafoe and Shelton was on with no sound and some dweeb/owner/manager with a sippy cup turned off the no sound TVs when some elevator/hold music band started playing and said they wouldn't put the TVs back on. So I guess if you hate competitive sports as much as this guy you'll probably love the place, or if you love being on hold this is definitely the place for you, and if you enjoy good beer but hate sports you'll probably also enjoy this spot.

Trying to catch all the local breweries in Salida, CO. Each…read moreis unique in their own. Stopped in to check it out; a Sunday, several people sitting at tables and a few at the bar. It's a fairly large interior and nicely decorated but low keyed; nothing extravagant but nice homey feel. We sat at the bar; the place now started to get really busy. I had the Charlie Brown; Pours a thin head on a light brown body. The aroma is mild grain and molasses. The taste has a mild sweet start with a nutty backend. The texture is thin. It has great flavor. Apparently it was the beer for the day since many patrons were selecting it. My other half ordered Zinga Son; a nice Mexican lager; tastes very similar to a Corona but the taste was much more rich and crisp; with a tad German hops and Mexican yeast. And yes a food truck on site for those that are hungry works and co-exists with the brewery. The menu is simple but effective. We did order a large pretzel with a nice German stone ground mustard. Enjoyed our time there! Also a shout out to Abby who handled the steady flow of customers and an extremely busy Sunday. She did it all with poise and grace! Stop in if you're in the area.

Very consistent in all aspects of a restaurant; food taste, presentation and speed. The service is good. Although you order at the counter like a fast food place they bring the food out to your table. There is plenty of seating. The restaurant is always clean and inviting. Salida is a small town compared to many places in Colorado. So the competition may not be as much as say if they were in Denver but if they were there they would still shine because they're just that good. The burgers are very tasty, the fries are great, a large fry will feed two people easily. The shakes are really good. Just like in the past they come out with a full glass plus the remainder of shake in the stainless mixing cup. It's well worth the stop if you're in town and hungry.
