    30 taps

    Great place to go and your spouse is shopping. Lots of selection service is very friendly and helpful. Walk you through the process. Dog friendly. Seems to be a place for a lot of locals and shoppers to hang out. Selection is not extremely unique, but there are a lot of options for many different taste. I'd recommend if you have a little bit of time in between stores.

    They even have a dog bowl!

    Great place!! Not sure why it took me 9 months to swing by, but would absolutely come back! Great for watching the game or meeting friends. Also dog friendly!!! 10/10 would recommend.

    We discovered this new taproom on our way through Silverthorn. The outlet mall has traditionally been a stopping point for us to get out of the car and take a walk as we travel I70. This time, we did not walk far. We went from our car to the taproom. The owner was really great. Lots of fantastic choices, and enough variety to please everyone. This is a pay by the ounce, self-pour spot. Great for a full pour of your favorite or lots of samples!

    Stopped in for some late night bites…read more Vibe: Comfy with lots of table, couch, and comfy chair options. Dim mood lighting. Board games and little free library inside. Good music. Overall a very good vibe and very inviting to hang out. Service: Friendly and fast Food: Menu is definitely a step above your classic bar food, I got a sandwich special and steak tips. The sandwich was a grilled cheese croissant that included smoked gouda and balsamic reduction and it was really good. The steak tips were okay, decent flavor, a little chewy, maybe because they were cut so small? Value: Total after tip was $30ish for a 'just right' portion so may a little over valued. Overall this place was such a good vibe with chill staff and good food.

This place is super cute, the people working were all friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We ordered drinks for happy hour (my husband got a beer and I got sangria-so good). Also ordered the bread and butter appetizer, definitely recommend that. For the entree I did the salmon that came with a cucumber salad and potatoes. Hubby got that gnocchi and steak! We both liked our meals a lot! I totally wanted to try the peanut butter pie for dessert but they were all out so next time I'll have to get some for sure! Check this place out yall!

    I was in the mood for some wine tasting and since I couldn't get to a vineyard. I decide to my own…read morewine tasting. Jeremy was very nice. He was not only our bartender but was also one of the owner along with Samantha who I got to meet for the first time. Everyone was so friendly and was definitely a win connoisseur. I love their happy hour from Vail. Everything was price reasonable. I love that you could get any wine for 3 ounce for half the price. That allowed me to try almost every wine on the list. Yes. I was very happy when I left It's definitely a hidden gem. Will try to come back!

    Visiting Vail for a quick getaway a few weekends ago made me realize (again) that this mountain…read moretown renowned for exhilarating outdoor activities is a foodie destination with so many options to choose from Michelin-recognized restaurants to something more casual. And to stumble upon this chic and inconspicuous cocktail bar in the busy downtown was something I wasn't expecting and became a treat after a nice stroll through the town after dinner in my hotel room. From the moment I stepped inside, I knew I was at the place where my heart was calling for. There were two gents at the bar and one of them warmly greeted me and said I could sit anywhere I would like. I hence picked one of the bar seats. Except one table that was occupied by a couple I was the only one. I appeared to have picked the right time; I had the whole bar to myself (eventually though, several different groups of people streamed in; only a few of them sat at the bar close to me. The bar was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate a little over 10 people.) Jeremy, who greeted me upon arrival, was a super host. As soon as I explained that wine is my usual got-to, he said he could mix and match reds and whites to create a "flight" based on what I had told him as to my likings. His extensive explanations as to what sorts of reds and whites the bar offers/serves was (of course) all in his memory. His eloquent speech with no filler words truly impressed me; he sure is a wine connoisseur. What he picked for me were... -2024 Pepiere "Les Gras Moutons" (Muscadet) -Kobal "Bajta", Hazole Belo (aka Orange Wine) -Sandlands "Red Table Wine (Lodi Red Blend) With his wealth of knowledge, after giving him only a hint of what I liked, what Jeremy selected for me to sample/sip was a superb choice. All of them were world-class excellence with elegance and beauty. I carefully and slowly sipped each one little by little to truly immerse myself in the art of wine. Yes, wine is a piece of art for sure. I think I said it correctly at the beginning of this review. This is a cocktail bar with variety of spirits which Jeremy could easily concoct just about anything from gin-based one to vodka-based one to tequila-based ones to whiskey-based one to name several. For those who don't drink, their zero-proof section also has something interesting to browse and choose. Not to mention, rotating pilsner or IPA on tap to name a few from the beer section as well. If you need a little bite to eat, their (changing) food menu has a good number of New American-style plates. The bar originally opened in a different building back in 2015 (I believe). They moved to the current location in 2019. They also offer various different classes so you can expand/extend your knowledge. So for your next foodie vacation in Vail, make sure to include Root & Flower in your list.

    This is easily one of the more dynamic tasting menus we've been to- each dish was banger after…read morebanger of wildly, different flavor profiles. We came hungry, and we were stuffed about 3/4 of the way through the experience. We were hit with pretty generous gnudi portions, ricotta is super filling!! Then the lamb saddle which was delicious. When the sorbet came out to relieve the palette I thought we were in for the home stretch but was surprised to get another super fatty (delicious) Iberico pork. Half way through that I had to tap out from the richness and portion. The energy sitting at the chefs tasting is part of the charm. Watching the flow of the kitchen might not be for everyone, it does get loud and feels pretty chaotic at times- we love it.

    OK I've had time to mull over my visit, so it won't be as harsh. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 ‍. I…read morewas super excited to visit the 2nd of the best of Breck food trifecta and left absolutely disappointed. Super cute restaurant. The evening started with them not remembering the food allergy that I told you about when i submitted your survey, but I digress. We started with a martini and an old fashioned. The martini was tasty but half of it was missing like where's the rest of my drink ‍. Second I had to ask for plates, not sure how you forget but remembered to give them to the table next to me ‍. At this point I'm over it and prefer my experience at raticato. Next strike, you ask us to order everything and you'll course it out but instead you interrupt us mid chew and ask to clear the table for our meals, absolutely unacceptable. How do you rush your customers. I get it's 8pm but you're open until 9:30 and if you're in a rush go home and send a server that wants to be there. Service, service, service. It was absolutely non existent and at a restaurant that isn't McDonalds prices, do better. You never came back to our table and asked if the food came out ok or if we needed more drinks. As a matter of fact, my spouse walked to the bar and ordered their own drink, unacceptable. Absolutely ridiculous. We couldn't enjoy our meal because the service was so poor and I'd absolutely not return. We had the Halibut, which was tasty but could do without the ro and the chicken dish, which was prepared well. The steak tartare was just ok and the bread and hummus was a good addition. Nah, wouldn't recommend. Please have a conversation with Olivia Z., if she's having a day she needs to exit and not work that day in hospitality. P.s. she also rushed another table that wanted to enjoy the chicken dish but she was too focused on leaving that she told them they should get dessert instead.

    We showed up on a Saturday afternoon around 5pm right before the dinner rush. When we arrived,…read morethere was one patron at the bar and another group sitting at a table. We were immediately greeted and shown to a table. Waitstaff was wonderful and joked with us as if we were old friends. That's always the best feeling. While they stayed professional we cracked up here and there! We started off with calamari. Both the red pepper marinara and spicy aioli hit the spot. Calamari was fresh out the fryer and brought to our table so quick! I ordered a lasagna Bolognese and that also came out fast and super fresh. I could only finish half of it and that was all that was needed to make the trek home. Keeping this place on the map. By the time we left it was nearly packed! The main drag has so many good options. This is certainly one of the spots to dine!

    Surprisingly good Italian food right on Main Street Frisco! We stopped here on the way back to…read moreDenver and was stoked they had happy hour specials on food and drink on a weekend. I wasn't too hungry so I got the bruschetta and we split the calamari too. Calamari app was good but would have liked some more variety vs just the rings, it seemed too Cisco-y for me. The dipping sauces that came with it were delish though--a nice roasted red pepper sauce and marina, you can't go wrong. My husbands lasagna portion was huge and came out piping hot, his was enough for a couple meals too so added bonus. Nice place and would definitely stop here again if I was craving Italian food in Frisco.
