Colorado Staff Picks Favorite: Happy Hours

In our mountain towns, happy hour is more than just a place to unwind after a long day at work. Whether we’ve been hitting the trails, paddling the lakes, or chasing powder, our team heads to their favorite outdoor decks or microbreweries to toast our accomplishments – miles hiked or biked, vertical skied, rapids conquered… From sun-soaked patios with sweeping views to tucked-away local favorites pouring craft cocktails and serving up tasty apps, our team knows exactly where to go to unwind. Whether you’re looking for après-ski elegance, riverside relaxation, or just the best margarita in town, these insider picks are your insider guide to sipping, snacking, and savoring the best happy hours in Breckenridge, Steamboat or the Vail Valley.

Steamboat

Aurum Food & Wine

"They have great appetizers like the curried cauliflower and the crispy brussels sprouts."
- Effie Henderson, Staff Accountant

"I love Aurum for an Aperol Spritz and some apps in the summer. The riverfront patio is hard to beat, and there's a fireplace and heat lamps when the temperature dips a bit."
- Amy Davis, Director of Sales

Brass Kitchen & Bar

"Happy Hour made simple. A straight 25% off anything on the menu. Enjoy a glass of wine and couple small plates with friends on the outdoor patio - the perfect end to a summer day in Steamboat! "
- Kate Pahula, Reservations Manager

Breckenridge

Kenosha

"Kenosha has a great happy hour with incredible views of the ski resort. I love sitting there with a local beer and their homemade pretzel!."

- Kayla Johnson, Assistant General Manager

The Carlin

"A sophisticated new addition to the Breck scene where happy hour starts at 3pm."
- Kate Pahula, Reservations Manager

Vail Valley

The Remedy @ the Four Season

"The Four Seasons in Vail is my happy place! And cocktails at The Remedy before heading out for dinner is such a luxury."
- Kate Pahula, Reservations Manager

Vin48

"Vin48 has my kind of happy hour! Choose from one of their 40 wines by the glass and sit out on the patio with views of Beaver Creek. Their seasonal small plates are perfect for sharing!"
- Teresa Wiedel, Brand & Guest Experience Manager
