Ale House Kitchen Tap - Vail

Walked over from the DoubleTree to watch some football and have food/beer. The place was packed and they had every game on a TV at least once. The staff seemed very overwhelmed but they handled it as well as possible. We ordered some wings and then I had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. We thought the food was above average for a sports bar. They were out of a few beers that we wanted but they had a large enough list for us to pick something else. Once the first set of games finished, they were accommodating everyone and switching TVs to whatever games people wanted. The manager was moaning and groaning the whole time because of how bad the cable boxes worked but he still did it for everyone. I would definitely come back again.

Always a fan of the Vail Ale House. Located in West Vail right off the exit and in a shopping area, so lots of parking. TONS of TVs always having whatever game you might want (Just request it) and plenty of tables, high tops, and bar seating. Good local Colorado beer selection on draft and a decently sized menu. Big fan of the wings (either buffalo or sweet thai chili sauce) and their burgers and chicken parm. We have had a few instances where the staff is slow/doesn't show up when the store should be open (especially in off season) so know that it can be slow. The staff is extremely nice, but their lack of consistency is why they don't get a 5 star review.

Came here for dinner tonight while we were visiting Vail and the restaurant was nice but pretty dead. We ordered drinks which were great but the food was subpar. I ordered the Rocky Mountain Rainbow Trout and it was good but definitely not the best I've had. My boyfriend ordered the Philly Cheesesteak and it was kinda dry and bland. Service was good, our waitress checked up on us and the food came out on time. I wouldn't say it's one of the most rememberable places but wouldn't not go back either

This was our first stop in Vail. After a long travel day we were starving. This is located in walking distance of the doubletree next to mcdonalds and Safeway. We seated ourselves in the bar area. It was happy hour so we ordered a couple beers and cocktails. I ordered the bbq bacon burger wrapped in lettuce with fries and my husband ordered the Philly cheesesteak with fries. The food came out pretty quick but I noticed it had an odd taste like the oil was old or bad or something... we were so hungry we ate everything but I definitely wouldn't return. Service wasn't the friendliest and the food was just mediocre at best.

I came here on a Wednesday night and they surprisingly had a pretty good sized crowd for a live band performance. Food was better than expected (a step above pub/low key bar food). I had the Ale House burger and a Telluride Brut IPA. Both were solid. A good spot to go out with friends if you're looking for a lively place in vail that's not overly pretentious or expensive.
