    Wish the space was bigger because this place is always packed! Service was great and the atmosphere is beautiful. Gorgeous views of vail mountain/the town.

    My buddy and I had a fun evening hanging out here at Vail Brewing Company. Whenever I travel to a new town I like to check out the local craft beer scene. Vail Brewing Co. is an independent and small batch brewery that is located in the heart of Vail Village. We were staying nearby and enjoyed the warmth this place had to offer on a cold snowy night. Vail Brewing had about ten beers on tap. Ales are my usual go-to and I got the Riva Red Ale. My buddy can't have beer, but they had hard seltzer and kombucha as optional choices. There isn't any food here, but you can buy some snacks like chips or pretzels at the bar. Occasionally they will have a food truck outside. Customer service was great and the atmosphere super chill with a light crowd. This place is pet friendly and they have lots of merch on-hand too. Great find!

    Popped in for a quick drink. Quick service with several beer options. We were a little disappointed they didn't have a full menu of food, but they had pretzels to snack on. I enjoyed the fact that they had games, my fiancé and I ended up playing Yahtzee. I'd go back if I'm ever in the area again.

    We stopped here when we were visiting the shops. I had searched some breweries & this one had some sours, IPA ands other options that sounded appeasing. When we walked in- we were greeted and even told about what the staples are as well as the newer additions. We had our kids with us & they offered soda options and a few snacks for purchase. I got a flight & ended up taking the Jam Session Sour home in a crowler. It was very tasty! They offer outdoor seating as well as indoor. They do have small snacks (pretzels & chips) for purchase. They even have some board games to play. My husband tried 4 different IPAs and wasn't a fan- but said they were okay. I enjoyed the Watermelon Kolsch too! Stop in if your in Vail for some good brews to try. They are a pretty chill place to get a beer & just relax for a bit.

    Vail Brewing Co is located in the heart of Vail Village. There is mostly indoor seating but some outdoor seating as well. They have board games to play while sipping a brew with your pals.

    This place is so cool. The beer is a huge bonus. With great brews, you can enjoy the mountains even more. It's a perfect spot for a drink!

    Jam session sours

    Great little brewery with a decent selection of beers. We got the Jam Session sour and it did not disappoint. Tasted like berries and had the perfect amount of sour. We sat outside as did everyone else, since the weather was 60 and gorgeous. Would definitely recommend!

    The Dagwood (I forgot to take the photo until after I had eaten the other half of the sandwich!)

    What a fun place! I went on a Monday when it wasn't too busy. I happened to arrive just before they started playing Monday night Bingo. The food they serve there is from the menu at Bol downstairs. There is someone who comes to your table to take your food order, though for drinks, you need to order at the bar. I ordered the Dagwood, which is a sandwich with hummus and roasted sweet potato and beet. It was very flavorful. It was served with a ton of edamame. To drink, I ordered a flight of beer with their Pinot noir, their wheat beer, and their sour beer. All three were very good. I ordered a kombucha too, which tasted more on the vinegary side. Then the bingo started and I won the first round! For a prize, you could choose between bar swag (tshirts and such), but I opted for the free beer token and ordered a full size of the sour beer.

    Gourd Range Pumpkin Chai Ale

    After walking around the village we really wanted a beer and found this place calling our name from the Solaris Residences complex. We walked in and found it to be rather happening with lots of happy people enjoying a beer and some games. We ordered up a couple of unique beers and found them both to be pretty dang good. I had the Pumpkin Chai beer and my wife one of the beer/wine hybrids. They also seem to be teamed up with a neighboring restaurant so you could also grab a bite to eat to enjoy with your beer. Only feedback I would offer, get the girl some help! The lady running the taproom was often times overloaded which seemed to frustrate some of the patrons. Relax, have a beer.

    Great IPA

Dinner reservations are available 30 days out on Open Table, and they go instantly. I heard them quote 2+ hours for walk-ins, so definitely plan ahead if you can! Cocktails: I've always loved their cocktails, so even if you don't have dinner here, you should at least check out the bar. I've never been disappointed in any drink I've gotten. Dinner: - Butternut baba ganoush: all the flavors of baba ganoush but with butternut squash, and the warm pita was great - Fire roasted tomato and chorizo soup: a bit on the thinner side, smoky, interesting - Buttermilk sea salt biscuit: rich, flaky, with extra butter, country ham, and red pepper jelly - Warm pimento cheese: I don't usually care for pimento, but their's is great with grilled bread. They also use this on their burger at lunch - Wood grilled octopus: nice wood fire flavor, great ham hock beans underneath, grilled avocado - Crispy brussels sprouts: interesting flavor with the grilled avocado sikil pak - Wood fired pork chop: tender, generously sized - Grilled cobia: wonderful warming pineapple coconut curry, charred pineapple, and fresnos for a kick - Seafood diavolo: very flavorful (my dad found it too salty), served over polenta Lunch items: - Fresh catch: Argentenian shrimp and polenta - like shrimp and grits, very flavorful - Grilled cheese and soup: always a good combo - Burger: we added the onion rings, which had a good kick to them They also had a really solid kids' menu, which I appreciate. Despite how busy they are, service is attentive, and the manager came by personally to check in, which was a nice touch. Food and drink pacing was also good despite it being packed.

Other employees helped with service, including clearing plates and inquiring if we needed anything. The restaurant is definitely number one at customer service and I loved how everyone worked together. Even though the restaurant was busy, we did not feel lost in the shuffle. It was clean and inviting. They offered an array of choices, so there would be something for everyone if you decide to dine here. The food was good, preparation and display were done carefully, but the taste was overall just ok. The appetizers we chose were Warm Pimento Cheese, which was mildly flavorful, but good, and Prime Beef Carne Apache, which had no flavor at all. The main courses we chose included a pork dish and a chicken dish. The chicken had great flavor, but was placed on a bed of potato wedges which were not all completely cooked through. We felt this took away from the overall dish. The accompanied sauce made with yogurt and poppyseed did not add any flavor to the dish. The pork dish had great flavor. The drinks accompanying the food were made well and tasty. The kids menu has an array of choices as well, and our choice of macaroni and cheese was a hit! We ended with a frozen snicker bar dessert that tasted exactly like a frozen snickers bar. Overall, we had a very nice evening and would definitely visit again.

    We stopped in at the Red Lion after skiing…read more It was crowded and we were looking for an outside table for six people. Only four of us were there as the other two were across the street at Christy's returning their rental skis. There was a table of 6 but the hostess said she couldn't sit us until the other two arrived. Right then, a guy walks up and asks for that same table. He was by himself and she gave the table with six chairs to him. His full party was clearly not there but she sat him anyway. Why is that allowed? Clearly favoritism. And to be clear, two of his friends showed up and the other three never arrived. So, at that point we told the hostess we were now a table of four and she said we could sit at a table that had 3 chairs. Well okay....we took it. We grabbed the table and asked other tables around us for the extra 3 chairs and everyone was nice enough to give us the extra chairs. Our server, Suzanne was excellent. Very attentive, friendly and immediately brought us our drinks and food. The nachos were tasty. Drinks were good but pricy. I give Suzanne 5 stars, food 3 stars hostess 0 stars. Treat everyone fairly and respectfully. The hostess could use customer service training.

On top of that she was giving us attitude the whole time. Now the owner... I feel terrible for the people who have to work for this lady. After 30 mins of us sitting there and having a drink and some snacks. She walks over and gave us some much attitude and was said "WASNT THERE A RESERVED SIGN ON THIS TABLE? Because this is my table!" we quickly replied no there wasn't. Whole time the manager was also there rolling her eyes at us and giving us a face. These ladies continued to make us feel so uncomfortable for the next couple minutes. So I just paid and left. I didn't even want to pay to be honest. We're paying customers, we did nothing to be treated this way. The owner is some old grumpy entitled lady with some money. I WOULD NOT COME BACK.

Coming to the food : We got Chicken Wings which were very different but not in a good way. I would rate them 7/10. Assorted dumplings did not have any dumplings. It had bunch of shallow fried shrimps, gyoza and chicken sate kind of appetizer . Very misleading menu item. Ordered quesadilla for my kid and it was not good. My wife ordered a Mezcal drink which was watered down a lot. The only saving grace were the desserts which I must say were truly mind blowing. The Toasted Pineapple Gelato was one of the best I've ever had ! (a big reason I am upgrading my review to 3 stars from 2 stars) and the chocolate bomb was amazing too.
