The Inn at Beaver Creek: Great Location!!

The Inn at Beaver Creek: Great Location!!, Avon

 Mambino Says:  Great location! This lodge is steps from the Beaver Creek village (shops, restaurants, skating rink (in the winter). We were also told it holds a World Record for closest proximity to a chair lift! We stayed here in the summer time, so no skiing this time around. However,...

Fantastic Restaurant! The best in all of the Vail Valley for Consitency! Great Sandwiches, Kid Friendly (as long as you get there before the Local's arrive at 10pm or so). Seek out the Wooky, he is the best. Low Key, Mountain Attitude leads to some great times! Don't miss it. If you don't want to endure the fun, then they have great take out! Just watch your step around the sidewalks in the Winter, I pay off the Street keepers to not throw down Salt so ya'll don't come back to Avon!

Favorite Dish: The Turkey Sandwich, the Fries are outstanding, the Pizza is fantastic, nothing is wrong about this joint!

This small Italian restaurant had great pizza (and a TON of toppings to choose from) at some of the best prices in the area. Sit at the counter and watch your food made 5 feet away.

They also have well priced Coors Lite (my favorite).

Favorite Dish: Pizza with Italian sausages, bell peppers, four cheeses.

Downstairs there is a bar and live music. Go upstairs to find college kids on vacation and a large handful of locals of similar age. Not a bad scene, with pool tables, darts, foosball, and some huge TVs. A good back up plan.

Favorite Dish: Shot of tequila with a whiskey and Coke.

I spent most of my time at the bar of this wonderfully located restaurant that has a casual lunch and turns to fine dining for dinner. I couldn't tell you what the meals were like, but the beer sure was cold.

A good place to unclasp your ski boots and recant near death experiences down the mountain. Everyone I sat next to was very eager to talk. Definitely a cool place to be seen, though I'm sure best appreciated during the day.

Favorite Dish: Budweiser
