Steamboat Staff Picks: Favorite Happy Hours

After a day on the trails, rivers, or slopes, Steamboat locals head to their favorite outdoor decks or microbreweries to toast their accomplishments. The town has a laid-back charm but elevated après scene. From sun-drenched decks to cozy spots serving craft cocktails and gourmet bites, these staff picks are your guide to the best places to celebrate after a day well spent in the ‘Boat.


"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


"I love this historic building and the Wine By The Time menu. The price of select wines are the same as the time from 4:30 - 5:30pm!"
 - Mallory McCall, Guest Services Specialist


"Truffle Pig has $6 happy hour drinks. And the burgers are fantastic!"
- Deb Trevor, Kitchen Inventory/Front Desk Specialist


"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


"I think Bésame has the best happy hour in town! But be careful! You’ll go for happy hour and find yourself lingering for dinner too - it's that good! My favorite tapas are the Chili Glazed Beef Short Ribs and Hot Takis Elote. Favorite Cocktail is the Tequila After Dark (it makes for a great dessert sip!)"
- Mallory McCall, Guest Services Specialist
