A dance room with fantastic DJs gives you space to shake it all night.

The Red Lion

Since 1963, The Red Lion, a longtime Vail institution has been entertaining locals and visitors alike. With local musicians playing live music in the late afternoon and again in the evening, we suggest reserving a table in front for the best seat in the house. On a sunny day, the iconic Red Lion patio is the place to be seen and grab a bite to eat.

Pepi’s Bar

Located in the heart of Vail Village, with open-air seating and large windows overlooking Bridge Street and a larger patio along Gore Creek Drive, Pepi’s is the place to people-watch. A more refined, yet laid-back experience featuring a variety of live music, Pepi’s is a great place to gather your friends and kick off the evening’s festivities. With authentic Austrian beers, specialty cocktails, and the “wall of fame” showcasing notable patrons, Pepi’s is an iconic stop.

Lionshead Chophouse

 The Chophouse is a contemporary restaurant and bar featuring regular live music with owner and longtime Vail entertainer Phil Long. Boasting a stunning patio where you can order up delicious food, it’s the perfect place in Lionshead to take in the scenery after a day of adventures. Reservations recommended while capacity levels are limited.
