The Tap Room At Bridge Street

Decent for drinks, but I would go elsewhere for food. This place gets packed on the weekends, especially late at night. The crowd can be a bit douchey, but this is Vail. There’s no avoiding it!

Great place to relax after a day skiing! Decent beer menu, but not the largest selection in Vail.
Also, this place is known to house some rowdy Hoosiers for IU basketball games

Great bar and restaurant in Vail village. There is a back area which i was not aware about where you can sit and drink your beers, while watching the skiers come down the hill. I ate the philly cheese steak, which was surprisingly good for a bar. the tables are all pretty close together so there is a feeling of comaraderie throughout the bar/

The brownie sundae was very good! Saw Taylor Armstrong from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. My server was wonderful, and didn’t rush me after I ate.

Nice atmosphere. They have a fish fry on Friday nights with fresh walleye pike. Hard to find… nicely prepared.

We wanted to check out the cool little patio, looked like it would be great for people watching, but it was packed. We settled for a seat at the bar. The bartender was super friendly.
The food was A-​OK nothing special but it worked for a light lunch. They had a decent happy hour. We enjoyed our conversation, and the friendly staff.

Nothing fancy… I needed a place to eat and they supplied :)
The food was good but way too bland for my taste. And it appears getting mixed drinks in CO is not the happening thing. This place as well as a few places I went to in Denver basically had a generic drink menu.
I loved how they had a lot of TVs to catch up on every sport game showing.
Prices not that bad…
Service was great :)

The burger’s were great… I love their Basian wings & sweet potato fries with their special sauce. The price is good for being at Vail Village.

Nothing spectacular…
Decent food, kind of bland though. The mozz sticks were good but I don’t think you can mess those up. A moderately priced place, especially for vail. The should not call it THE TAP ROOM because they have 7 beers on tap… kind of upsetting, I was expecting a whole wall of taps. A place for locals and a mix of tourists. Definitely a place to go to grab a couple cold ones with friends after skiing and maybe grabbing some apps. Personally I recommend vendettas right up bridge street to grab some drinks, much more lively and you just feel more comfortable. Up to you!

We had some wings (basian) and a few burgers here, and both were really good. The bison burger was a good change from the normal beef, and the amount of options and toppings are plentiful. The chicken lettuce wraps were good as well. The table next to us had a chicken fried steak that was on the special menu, and I regretted not ordering this when I saw it arrive to their table. The bison burger was good, but the steak looked better!
This is the perfect place for a few beers and burgers and would recommend.

I don’t really see how you can get off calling yourself the Tap Room and only having a couple beer options. What’s up with Vail and the beer selection? I thought we were in Colorado… land of the microbreweries.
Anyway, we had some pretty damn tasty wings here, but not too much else to write home about. Water, American-​style lagers, wings. Service was good also. The guy at the door was reading a good book and had a fantastic mustache.

I’d almost give this a 4 star, but its really closer to 3 for me. Although I’m sure compared to many of the other on MTN restaurants its one of the best deals out here.
Service: 5 stars. They left the pitcher of water on the table kept our drinks full and were helpful with menu.
Food: 2.5 stars. My burger wasn’t prepared very well. Although cooked exactly the way I asked for it. The toppings and seasonings could have been much better. But the chicken sandwich was a joke. Really thin chicken not much substance, poorly cooked, it was a let down.
Great place to catch a game and mingle with apres skiers.
Price: 2 stars. $ 33 for two simple sandwich plates and 2 drinks is kinda crazy.

I second Tyler F — it’s the perfect place to go for… anything I’d think.
It’s cold so you want a beer and some grub — check.
You just finished a hike or a game of ball and want to recap with beers — check.
You’re there with your family and want a family-​friendly place where you can watch a game and get a beer too — check.
oh, and they have a pacman game.
We were just on a cross-​country drive looking for a place to get a beer and a bit and the tap room was exactly what we wanted. There seem to be nightly specials, the staff is extremely nice and attentive. The type that doesn’t miss a beat and is there to check up on you right when you need. And yes, the food is pretty respectable.
We had a wrap and at first I thought the wrap was too-​lightly seasoned, but the chicken was moist and at the end, it was just the right level. It was just right so you can appreciate the parts and pieces instead of just one overpowering flavor.
And yes it’s spacious with plenty of TV’s so you can watch… whatever it is that you were hoping to catch.

The basics: You rarely ever find a sports bar that excels in more than one category. If the service is great, usually the food is gross. Or if the food is great, you want to slap your server across the face. But the tap room is not most sports bars.
I was astonished at the content and willingness of the server to bring us everything needed and more with a smile. Even more astonishing, the food wasn’t just edible, it was delicious enough to be something you’d come back for alone!
So where did that extra star go? One should never have to brush off what the busboy left behind on the table, or eat while listening to obnoxious, drunk vail goers.
But that second part isn’t tap rooms fault!
What’s for dinner? Tap. Room.

My daughter and I were in Vail for 4 nights. We had eaten at 2 really expensive restaurants and were in the mood for a good burger or wings. We rounded the corner and came across The Tap Room, from seeing the Philharmonic. We were excited to find a bar in Vail that wasn’t pretentious or over priced.
We ordered the wings (Basian style — amazing!!) and split the Loaded Philly Sandwich. We ordered a beer each (Blue Moon) and dinner came to $ 30.
The wings were so incredible. They’re made with srirachi and they’re hot and sweet, and they were cooked perfectly! The loaded Philly was also amazing –and so were the fries.
Our waitress was as cute and attentive as could be. The crowd was happy and lively, and we could not have been happier! It was more enjoyable and much less crowded than Red Lion, so we felt like we scored! We’re going back tomorrow afternoon to watch the USA win the World Cup!
So yes, I gave it 5 stars. It was 5 stars for a sports bar. Everything surpassed our expectations and we loved the check at the end of dinner. Can’t wait to go back there again many times!

Such a lovely cosy bar right by the ski lifts and with balconies so you can look outside at the beautiful village. I came around 9pm so it wasn’t horribly crowded and had the turkey sandwich. I forgot to tell the waiter if I wanted salad or fries so he chose for me LOL. He chose the salad, which was fine. You can’t really go wrong giving girls a salad right?
Salad was good, lots of blue cheese. I usually don’t eat blue cheese but it tasted good in there. I didn’t know it was blue cheese cuz of all the dressing! The sandwich was delicious, the hoagie roll was warm and soft, the turkey was so tender and there was a thin layer of some sauce– it looked like pizza sauce, and it went really well with the sandwich. There was also something that looked like sourkrauft… not too much so your sandwich wasn’t sour. Whatever was inside the sandwich… doesn’t matter because it was delicious.

I was SO impressed with the Tap House.
It’s got a cozy feel to it, with lots of original woodwork and fantastic views of the Mountain.
The bar was pretty and well-​stocked (See Photos) too. I do wish they had their own beers, being called a «Tap House» and all, but they have both Fat Tire and Blue Moon, so… That worked.
I walked in craving soup, and their Tomato Basil Bisque ($ 4 for a Cup, $ 6 for a Bowl) did not disappoint. I paired my cup with a Caesar Salad with Homemade Dressing and Anchovies. ($ 8) The Caesar totally hit the spot… I mean, that salad was GOOD. And HUGE. (See Photos.) I finished about half and was full. I passed it on to the Man who polished it off.
Speaking of the man, he got the «Face Plant» Chicken Sandwich: Grilled Chicken, Sauteed Onions, Sauteed Mushrooms, Bacon, Cheese, and BBQ Sauce. ($ 11) He opted for the Sweet Potato Fries for a $ 1 upcharge. (Also Photo) I’d have to guess that he enjoyed it, because I saw it arrive, and the next time I looked over, it was gone.
That’s okay, it gave me an opportunity to finish most of his beer!
Our other Dining Companion got the Turkey Reuben with French Fries ($ 12) and he loved it as well. I stole a fry, and it was hot and crisp.
The Bartender was personable and chatted with me (and let me take photos of the bar!) as was the guy who dropped off the food AND the Chef, who came out to talk to me when I asked about egg in the Caesar Dressing. (I’m sorry, but its just not good Caesar if there’s not egg in it. Turns out that they make their own dressing. With Egg. I want more. Now.)
I can’t wait to go back. It wasn’t as overpriced as so many places in Vail can be, nor pretentious, and the portions were certainly big enough.
Yay!

Good place for an apres ski drink with friends, but it gets packed pretty easily. The beer prices weren’t any worse than you would expect at Vail, and the food was your basic bar food. All told, not a bad place to end your ski day.

The Tap Room in Vail Village was jam packed on a Monday night, and we felt fortunate to snag a table upon entering, especially considering it was all you can eat chicken wing night!
Are you kidding me?! 8 dollar all you can eat chicken wings? In Vail Village?
Absolutely genuine, meaty, deep fried chicken wings in a good hot sauce, or BBQ, for only 8 dollars, with 3 dollar pints of Coors Light, you really can’t go wrong…
(Unless you were that poor doctor who met us on the Cascade shuttle, which we coerced into eating dinner with us, only to have you watch us suck the fat and gristle off a dozen chickens’ wings while you tried to maintain your appetite amongst our Cromagnan ways. Sorry, Sandy, by the way)

Blech, this place was nothing special at all. We went here after trying to go to Red Lion and not finding it (we’re not locals, OK?). Why does the bar across the street close at midnight, anyway? So weird.
Anyway, the bouncer was weird, the service was pretty slow and the clientele was gross. I talked to some transplants who were out on the patio smoking and they seemed indicative of the kind of uninteresting dicks that hang out here. Everyone seemed pretty much stand-​offish like they did so blah.
The beer was good and the prices were good, hence my second star. Other than that, everything else was pretty bad.
