After a great day on the slopes, walked over to First Chair to enjoy a beer. It was a nice day so we sat outside. A lot of options for beer and a great place to sit and people watch. Staff was very friendly and while we did not have any food, it all looked good. Definitely a good place to relax with a brew and friends. Don’t worry, that last beer pic was my friend’s fault, not the bartender!

People make the place and People deliver the experience. You cannot replace a man like John: Whomst is the Irish Salted Butter of conversation and great bar flow! Always there with a fresh glass, insightful insight, witty remark and peak Bro-Energy 🤙 Prices are approachable for the comman Man! So you can plant and indulge in a few rounds. Come here, spend your money and be stoked.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Maxim Pettersen · Mar 2025

This day it was an average burrito but I’m sure it could be better any other day. It’s a “smashburger” as advertised with tater tots but it didn’t really seem at all like a smash burger more like ground beef with chopped up potatoes. It did not have enough sauce for my liking. The cheese could have been melted more. I had to reheat it later, which helped.

Great place , awesome fun menu and great staff. Stopped in pretty early , had a breakfast burrito and ended up staying till well after lunch. Staff was great ,food was good and prices were fair. Will definitely go again next time I'm around.

Amazing! They have a top notch happy hour from 6:30 - 8:00. The nachos are a must as well as the super big burritos. Fair prices for Vail. Highly recommend coming here for the drinks, bar tenders, and food!
