The Lift Bar & Patio

very normal，a little late for deal，so much oil abt the fries，burger is OK and big，service not bad，but 20% forced sercive fee is crazy

Nice atmosphere. Average wings. The carrots and celery served with it had to have been days old they were so wilted and dry. The burger was average as well, I asked for bbq sauce and it came out after I finished the burger but the bum was better than I expected. Chili was straight out of can. Poor food selection. Not much to choose from

I watched as the person behind the bar washed all the glassware after dumping all the sanitizer from the 3 compartment sink. Call me crazy, but I’d like my glass to be sanitized. I’ll take my beer in a plastic cup, thank you.

Came here after a day of snowboarding and the food was great — wings, burgers, and salads — our server Marla was the best — service with a smile and authentic about her wish for us to enjoy our holiday! Ask for her

Great views and awesome fire pits! Food is so so but great rustic ambiance. Pool tables to keep kids occupied. Waitstaff got a little distracted when more customers arrived. Nice place to go, just wish the food was better.

Food really good. Service epically bad.
So, unfortunate as we plan to pass through this area often.

The patio fire pits make it worth going here. Was excited to get the fish and chips but was very disappointed as the fish reminded me of the kind you buy from the frozen food section of store — Van Kamp’s. Fries were overcooked. Yuck.

Totally disappointed. Not only because waitresses are too busy, but also the additional 20%tips.The highest fees I’ve ever paid in U.S. restaurants. Even though we are in the tour group, but that amount of mandatory charges really irritating me and my friends. Is the manager here insane?

Food okay. Patio with big fire pits fun. Mosquito bites not fun. Dog friendly. Friendly waitress.

Two words: food poisoning! If we weren’t the type to eat out 3 – 4 nights per week (even while at home) I would think this was bad, but since we are huge on eating out I can tell you this is the only place that’s made me sick in the continental United States in 10 years. Here’s the kicker… the food tasted so horrible we are not sure which of the entrées actually made us sick… maybe both? Throw in the kids running around the bar and it was the worst waste of $ 100 I have ever spent. BEWARE! Silver lining: the waitress was really nice and did a good job delivering the food that made us sick.

Rosemary chicken wings– most delicious appetizer on the menu. Atmosphere was very casual but upscale. The décor was very rustic and warm with a fireplace inside and outside.
Dogs allowed on outside patio.

Worst service I’ve had in quite some time. Wait time for food was worse. Getting what you order don’t plan on it. Would not go back unless it was only place in Brianhead.

We went back here last week! Omg, everything changed and improved! The menu is new, the service was outstanding, the food tasted delicious! We ordered fish tacos, salads, pulled pork sandwich, the portabella burger, the mac n cheese appetizer and the wings. The wings are the best i’ve ever had!!! My fish tacos were juicy and lots of flavor. The portabella burger was awesome, the fetta cheese in it gives it the right kick. Ordered hot totties with cognac for my drink, the bartender came to the table to ask if it was for my liking and it was perfect! Not to sweet, not too strong, just what i was looking for. Will definitly go back now since they changed so drastically!

Good wings & burgers. Service was good. Nice views and cozy atmosphere. Slightly expensive for what it is. Okay for families with kids. We would come back.

This is a good casual dining experience, very handy if you are staying at the Double Tree hotel or the nearby Cedar Breaks. I wouldn’t drive out of my way to come here if you aren’t staying local. But it is a great value for a steak complete with steamed veggies and a choice of french fries or sweet potato fries or onion rings, which tasted great after a long hard day of snowboarding. You can also get a good looking burger or various sandwiches. The bar is located upstairs from the Double Tree hotel lobby. It is a large space with tables around a large bar area. They also have a few pool tables in a separate room where you can also get service. I liked the nice casual atmosphere and the wait staff were friendly.

It’s worth going to McDonalds, than eating at this place.

This was the best place we found to eat around Brianhead. It is located in the Double Tree, which used to be called The Grand Lodge at Brianhead. We were the only people here on a Tuesday (they barely push any business during the weekdays). Our waitress was very attentive and friendly.
We had some sort of roll appetizer which was very good. Our experience with the wings was also good. $.50 per wing, and you can order just one if you want! We asked so jokingly, but were surprised. They were pretty tasty as well (no problems with our celery, fortunately).
The burgers we (all) had were unfortunately overcooked, though still pretty good. Overall, our whole group was pleased with both the price and the food, as well as the service.

July 2012
We were here in july, so the experience is probably entirely different during ski season.
Setting: it’s a beautiful room with high ceilings, attractive and comfortable wood furnishings arranged in private seating groups with table and chair options or sofas or sofa chairs. In the bar area their are high tables with bar chairs and there is a lovely deck with big fire pits, none of which are lit in July. The views are the surrounding mountains, so this is a greatlace for a drink.
Service: there was one staff member serving the entire room with maybe six tables of people. She had to wait tables and make drinks, including the drinks for the steak house downstairs, so service was slow. She knew little to nothing about the beers and there was no beer list. There is a wine list with maybe ten selections by the glass, but given the limited turnover and the clear disregard for quality control (more on that later) make sure if you order wine by the glass that it’s a recently opened bottle. The server was very friendly and pleasant.
Food: if I could, I would give the food a minus ten. I have never been served celery that was so obviously rotten, slimy, limp and disgusting. That the chef and waitress would both let this show up at a guests table I still find. Unbelievable, and it came with two of our dishes. We ordered a dozen chicken wings thinking fried food would be save at a place with such limited turnover. The wings can be tossed with one of four sauces from BBQ to super hot. We chose to leave them I tossed and to have a bit of each sauce brought to the table. The wings were meaty and good but they were served with this horrific celery. After seeing the celery our party decided to stick with food that was not fresh. The wings also came with carrots that were completely dried out and hard as a rock. We would have left at this point but there are very few options in Brian head so we thought the second course would be better. We were wrong. We ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich which was a pounded, hard, dried out breast of chicken with buffalo sauce. It had no flavor and came with the lovely celery. We also had the artichoke dip that tasted horrible and old served with extremely stale and, if you can believe it, stale tortilla chips. Inedible. We returned that. Our waitress was very good about it and took it off our bill. Finally, we had the lulled beef with BBQ sauce. The beef was dried out, tasteless but it came with kettle chips that were at least crunchy and not stale.
Beverages: the waitress was also the bartender and clearly was not well trained in this area. There is a full bar but no cocktail menu. We ordered a couple of coffee drinks for which she did freshly brew the coffee but the drinks were barely edible. The wine by the glass was a very small pour in an unsuitable glass but the petite sirah, bilge, was good.
Overall, I will never eat there again but might have a drink for the views and atmosphere.

Nice staff and good food. Lots of seating and several places to put your feet up by the fire pit, both indoors and outside on the huge covered patio. Awesome ski/​snowboard resort lounge!
