The Red Lion

American | Vail, CO | $$$$

304 Bridge St, Vail, CO 81657, USA


Overview

On Bridge Street at the heart of Vail Village, The Red Lion is the most storied live-music bar in the resort — a boisterous, beloved institution where the music runs nightly and the patio fills fast with apres skiers. The menu covers the bases: burgers, BBQ, sandwiches, soups, salads, and house specialties including center-cut sirloin, ahi tuna steak with crystallized ginger, and Rosanna's spaghetti and sausage. The focus here is atmosphere and energy as much as food — come for the music, the crowd, and the outdoor patio scene that defines Vail's social spirit on ski evenings.
