The Tavern Kitchen and Bar — Restaurant in Snowmass Village

We went to The Tavern on March 23rd to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday. Her birthday is on the 24th, so we were waiting until midnight to sing “Happy Birthday.” However, the only bartender working that night rudely kicked us out at 11:45 PM because she “didn’t want to get home late.”

The listed closing time on Google says 1:30 AM, so this was completely unprofessional. We had to leave and ended up singing “Happy Birthday” at the bus stop. Absolutely unacceptable service. Would not recommend to anybody.

To make things worse, she initially charged us one price for a pitcher of beer, then changed it to a higher price when we were leaving. On top of that, she added a tip to our card even though we had already left a cash tip.

This place is a complete scam. Unprofessional, dishonest, and totally unacceptable service. Avoid it at all costs!

At the answer says that it was the correct price and it’s lie, we are taking the proper action to resolve that. And then they say another lie that we were last group at the bar when there was a lot of people playing pool another table of four people and we were fourteen people in a table but they want to tell another story without saying I’m sorry.

Don’t go! They are scammers of...

This place is just fine if you simply need hot food to eat. However, don't expect any kind of good dining experience here.

The chicken sandwiches were the size a single chicken tender between two buns (insane for like $17), and the Munchies Platter is just a pathetic tray of meh food. Three fried pickle spear quarters? That's less than one whole pickle lol. The "egg rolls" are more like frozen/microwaved taquitos, and the corn on the cob things were just plain bad.

Our waiter was a very nice guy, but forgot to put in our appetizer. Should've been writing down our orders.

My weirdest complaint; the art on the patio is just straight up disturbing. Very Saladfingers-esque characters with long skinny crooked teeth staring at you through blank possessed eyes. If I weren't starving, I would've lost my appetite looking at these creepy murals. Small children might genuinely get scared. I feel bad for the artist who put so much time into them; it's good work, but wow wrong location.

The beer was cold and the French fries were ok... it's a ritzy ski town restaurant. If you got the money, go enjoy some beers and fries on the patio. Just don't spend 40 bucks...

This place—not sure how to be more specific in description due to the lack of direction with this space—has many problems. They are not sure within their own management whether the Tavern is a bar, club, or restaurant. There is and has been serious lack of vision and execution since Tavern’s opening. Somehow it has gotten worse over time although this venue could be the best place to go out in Snowmass. They do not care about locals and offer little to no discounts. The only valid/worthwile promotion they are probably running is to spam 5 star reviews on google for a small discount. This is actually verifiable. The drinks are overpriced, the food is also overpriced/low quality, and the service is incredibly inconsistent. Inconsistency is the name of the game at the Tavern. It will remain to be that way until management directs their energy into the proper channels, as they will never go out of business due to ideal location and misled vacationers. Make sure to leave 5 stars with your server/bartender’s name so that you are less disgusted...
