Headquarters for this festival and farmers market staple with a cult following in Colorado. The "quicky" is essentially a gyro, but made with more love. Daily specials in season.

The legend and pretty much the last real ski bar left in Vail. Ski the Mile, have a margarita with a free bowl of chips and salsa next to the wood fire and feel like a local.

Not the only, but the best reason to visit Red Cliff, the tiny old mining town and former county seat for Eagle County (long ago). Best fish tacos around.

The original loaded joe's and still the largest. They usually have a theme on week nights (karaoke, trivia, etc.) and so this is a local's hangout. Skip Starbucks and spend locally on much better coffee.

You'll pay a little more, but the experience and ability to walk around vail before/after is worth it. Park at solaris and bring in your parking stub for validation = free parking.

If you think Minturn is funky then you must visit Leadville. About a 30 min drive south will bring you to the highest incorporated city in the US (10,200 ft) and a city that was once the riches mining district in the world. The mining museum brings that history into focus, but the city is also fun to explore as is the mining district just east of town on 7th and 5th streets.

Oh how we love this place! This is a place for sophisticated conversation with friends. It is a tiny (by vail standards) wine bar with an inventive and top notch selection. Trust your bartender here and let him or her blow you away. You will probably see things on the menu you've never seen. Try them. Your horizons will be expanded....
