Kick of Your Skis: 5 Places to Spend a Happy Hour (or Two) in the Vail Valley

When you’re done skiing in Vail Valley, your body will crave relaxation. A good way to unwind after a cold day on the Colorado slopes is to head to a local bar. 

If you like drinking, you can take advantage of happy hour deals. If you’re not a big drinker, you can focus on good food and company. 

Tourism is a thriving industry in Vail, so you have a lot of restaurant options you can try. The city can be the backdrop of your dream vacation.

Here are five places known for their great specials. 

1. Loaded Joe’s 

Happy hour is from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., giving you plenty of time to make it to the restaurant when you’re tired of skiing. Even better than the generous hours are the deals themselves. 

You can buy $3 beers, $4 well cocktails, $5 wines. It doesn’t get much cheaper than those prices. 

This happy hour focuses on drink deals rather than food. 

2. The Blue Plate 

Happy tapas are just as important as happy hour drinks. Who doesn’t love munching on tasty snacks while they’re at the bar? It doesn’t even matter if you’re drinking alcohol or not. 

Happy hour here is from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the bar. The tapas menu becomes half-price. 

Foodies will love this deal because there are so many different things that you can try. 

3. Terra Bistro 

Terra Bistro offers a highly refined experience. The restaurant has been praised by leading publications. Its wine list is especially popular.

You can experience the food and drinks for happy hour prices if you show up between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. The famed wine is $8 per glass and small plates of food range between $6 and $10. 

The Terra Bistro happy hour is considered one of the best-kept local secrets. 

4. Lancelot 

This bar offers a very long happy hour. It starts at 5:30 p.m. and goes until the closing hour.

Patrons can enjoy $7 prime rib sliders and $6 well drinks. You can also get a $3 Trumer Pilsner. 

Lancelot is a reasonable option for tourists and locals on a budget. It’s normal menu options can be very expensive. 

That’s because Vail exudes a certain image. It’s one of the top ski resorts in the world and it attracts people who are prepared to spend money. 

5. Maya Grill 

Interested in Mexican food? The Maya Grill has you covered.

Happy hour is between 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. You can taste $3 tacos and $6.50 sangria.  

It’s a different style of food than the rest of the restaurants on the list. Good Mexican food is often very expensive. However, during happy hour you can order $5 tapas from the menu. 

The restaurant is headed by a recognizable chef named Richard Sandoval. He focuses on fresh Latin fusion. 

Happy Hour Deals

Finding good happy hour deals is part of the charm of staying in a resort town. Restaurants compete with each other to get your attention.
