This is my favorite place for lunch, and the start of my Apres Ski. I really enjoy the atmosphere, food, and proximity to the slopes.

The Red Lion is *the* place to go for nightlife in Vail. We showed up here later in the evening, but were able to get a spot close to the music. We weren't sitting for long though. The place got...

We arrived early and sat at the bar for drinks. As the evening went on the place got packed. Bouncer tried to keep the fun in order in such a small space. Lot's of energy from the crowd. But nothing...

This is fun for apres ski/ride, but that's about it. The owner/musician looks like Michael MacDonald impersonator. I shudder to think how much Aqua Net he uses. Fun for beers after the slopes, but...

The Red Lion has been a great Vail restaurant for a long time. I was there the other night and had the wings. They were not gourmet or anything but there were good and my wife had the white chili and loved it....

The Red Lion gets the prize for being my first one star review. I can only assume that this place stays in business because of its high profile location. I normally try to keep my Yelps short, but for...

I love having drinks with friends and listening to live music here after we ski. It's right in the village which is convenient. The menu is mostly bar food and you should expect it to be only as good. Nothing...

This is a great place to eat after a day on the mountain (skiing, hiking, or biking). The food isn't great, but a great family dining place with great beer selection.
