Description

Packed on most nights, this Vail hotspot pairs energetic live music with a bustling full bar and a compact dance floor that keeps the crowd dancing late. Expect great acoustics, talented bands, and friendly staff who go the extra mile, though a cover charge, limited top‑shelf liquors and no kitchen mean it’s more for nightlife than dining. It’s perfect for music lovers and groups seeking a lively, high‑energy evening — but not for quiet conversation.

Had an absolute blast here! Went here not once, but twice while on vacation. Great live music, drinks, and atmosphere. Marissa is the best— I left my phone here and was departing early the next morning. When I reached out, she replied instantly AND went out of her way to overnight SHIP my phone back to me after finding it. 10/10 experience and 10/10 recommend.
