Most of the menu items at this Vail venue are made from scratch and served in huge portions. The appetizers are what put The Red Lion on the map - with 1" thick onion rings and nachos (beef or chicken) that are almost impossible to finish. The lunch and dinner menus offer Dry Smoked Ribs, Pulled Pork, and a BBQ sauce that is made in-house. Their Red and Green Chili is award-winning. They offer live entertainment, Bingo, and daily drink specials. Be sure to try their signature Lion's Bull!

In Short
Always packed, this long-standing establishment is the place for skiers. Coveted bar seats are nearly impossible to get and most days the tavern crams them in three-deep. Comfortable camaraderie and ever-lasting live music define the hopping barroom. On warm days, open windows spill the sounds of local singing legend Phil Long's notorious cover tunes down Bridge Street. A full menu provides more-than-adequate sustenance for the weary, but food plays second fiddle to Long's guitar.

Good music
Great music, great crowd, and very decent food served by courteous waiters. Get there early (by 2p.m.) if you want to get a table.
