Best Barbecue (and Affordable Restaurant) – Slow Groovin’ BBQ
A local’s favorite and go-to for inexpensive lunch, dinner or drinks. Also boasts some of the best BBQ you’ll find in the Roaring Fork Valley. Complete with pool tables, darts and even karaoke!
Best Coffee/Smoothies – Fuel
Another local go-to, this little restaurant is always packed with visitors and locals alike. They have great coffee, tea, smoothies and other drinks as well as great sandwiches and tacos.
Best Margaritas (and Slopeside Restaurant/Bar) – Venga Venga
The location is one of the best parts about Venga, although the happy hour, tacos and margaritas will keep you there. A great view of the mountain in winter or summer, sitting right above Base Village in the Snowmass Mall.
Best Philly Cheese Steak (and Wings) – Zanes Tavern
Zane’s is your classic mountain tavern but surprisingly family friendly in the day and early evening. There’s no doubt a wide arrangement of drinks, but the food is what brings people to Zane’s. The Cheesesteaks’s are great but have you ever had Cheesesteak Eggrolls? How about Bacon Mac n’ Cheese Eggrolls? If not then make time for Zane’s or order some for takeout.
Best Apres Bar – Base Camp Bar & Grill
At the center of Snowmass Base Village sits Base Camp, usually the most popular place in town during winter and even bustling during summer. On any given weekend or event during winter, there’s usually a party, band or DJ at Base Camp. Offering of the best burgers in town, this place is a good choice any time of the day.
Best On-Slope Restaurant/Bar – Gwyn’s High Alpine
This is the kind of place you see in the movies. A crowded alpine bar located mid-mountain on Snowmass at the top of the Alpine Springs lift. Elevation 10,461ft. If you’re visiting Snowmass, this is one place not to miss. Stop in for a hot chocolate, lunch or mid-day drinks.
Best Mexican Food – Venga Venga
Deserving of a second spot on this list, Venga has the best (maybe only) Mexican food in Snowmass and it’s an absolute steal during happy hour!
Best Pizza – Tasters
Located in Snowmass Town Center, this is another locals favorite. If you’re in the mood for pizza or a hot sandwich, Tasters will hold it’s own against most city pizza joints.
