Great spot for a casual meal with terrific service. We needed a quick dinner in August and the team accompanied. Apres Cafe sits in the Vail Racquet Club in East Vail and has a charming ski lodge feeling. Menu is vey basic with burgers, sandwiches and pizzas. Some entrees. Our kids made their own pizza and my wife and I split a gluten free BLT, all delicious. We enjoyed the special margarita. Our server Mannix was great in addition to all the other servers who work as a team. Live music was playing while we eat which made the experience so much better. Definitely, check this place out. read more

Cozy little spot in Vail. Got several pizzas and truffle fries. The truffle fries was delicious - a large enough serving for 5 people. Not super impressed by the pizza. Was very doughy and not sure any of the kinds of pizzas blew me away. The truffle mushroom pizza had too many raw onions. The buffalo chicken was too much buffalo for me. I did enjoy the bbq chicken but was a bit spicy with the jalepenos. read more

Loved the experience we had here. Simple and easy dining experience, with some of the best pizza I've had in the west. Not super big inside, so would recommend going earlier in the evening before it gets super busy. Definitely check out the pizzas. 2 of them + a starter salad did the job for the four of us. read more

Apres is the jam Amazing food and great drinks, definitely a must try when you're in vail. read more

Food is either very gourmet and delicious or completely frozen food fried. Avoid their French fry baskets. Frozen crinkle cut fries and way over priced for what you get. Tuna poke was actually very good. No draft beer, all cans. Fireplace, service, and general vibe good. Great location in East Vail but meh on food. Will need to try more since first impression was not anything special. read more

Loved everything about this place! A gem tucked in East Vail. Great food and great service!

Prepare to be underwhelmed. The service is amazing and the ambience is decent, especially in December. But when it comes to the food and the appetizers, you're better off eating somewhere else unless you are staying in the attached lodge and the location is super convenient. My group of three ordered the {Garlic Knots} and they came out quick! But probably because they had been kept under a warmer -- they were quite toasty on top, dry, and weren't very garlicky. The included marinara was very delicious though and gave us hope for the {Margherita Pizza} ($22) we ordered. The pizza was leagues better than the appetizer, but I don't think it would have tasted as good to us without the lackluster appetizer that preceded it (that was $16 for maybe 10/12 knots). You also eat off plastic plates (that resemble paper plates). The tomatoes they use on top were very flavorful and definitely carried the pizza. Overall, the service was very helpful, personable and helped give us recommendations for local activities. The ambience was cozy and we got to sit next to the roaring fire which was a nice experience. Food is not worth the price, though. read more

Best pizza ever!! Everything is always good here. Friendly staff and away from the hubbub of Vail.

We love Apre! This is your neighborhood Cheers. Everyone knows your name and your favorite team is playing on the tv. The food is very good... especially the pizza and tuna crudo. They offer a nice selection of wine, mixed drinks and beer. We bring our family and enjoy Apre! read more

I've been here a number of times with different menus and have always walked away impressed! What a lovely place to have in East Vail with owners who really care about all aspects of the restaurant experience. The space is cozy but open, and the crowd is very local and friendly. Every time I come to Vail, we make sure to make a visit here. Highly highly recommend. As an added bonus, they offer gluten free buns with their burgers which are exceptional! Also the offerings at the bar are top notch. read more

So glad they are open five days a week during the ski, providing a great service to the East Vail area. The hatch chili burger is phenomenal. Owned by true locals who know the business and offer outstanding hospitality. read more

Yummy new place in east Vail. Local owners who are great. Thomas was very attentive. We had the mushroom truffle pizza which had a lot going on.

Apres Cafe is cozy, inviting, good music and free parking! Great start! Service is excellent and attentive. Love, the food! Tuna Poke Chips are amazing. Super tasty on house made chips that don't crumble as you take bites! Best pizza in the valley! We've dined there a few times and everything is great! read more

Love this place, I come every time I'm in town. Nicest staff and great pizzas! The location is super cozy too.

The food at Apres Cafe is undeniably good, but they've begun charging a gratuity for take out, which is really egregious -- 20%. I recommend the build your own fries -- the short ribs are DIVINE. The pizza is just so-so, and this combined with the overly-generous and self-applied gratuity caused me to remove two stars. read more

Been several times and the food is good. The mushroom pizza was the biggest winner. I miss the cavatappi they used to have tho! Friendly service, dine in or take out read more

Fabulous atmosphere. Fantastic vibe. The food and staff are delightful. My new home away from home.

We stayed at an AirB&B at the request club and went here for lunch one of the days and it was really tasty! We got the Buffalo chili and the loaded fries with Buffalo chili on them. Both were very filling and enjoyable! Our server was also super friendly and attentive. read more

Good food, outstanding wine, low key comfortable spot. A great place to go if you're looking for a relaxed dinner out.

Finally some ownership that makes good food! This place has bounced from owner to owner in the 20 years we've had a place here and they finally got one who works. Pizza, sandwiches and salads were great. read more

My dad and I recently stayed in East Vail and had a DELICIOUS takeout pizza after a long day on the slopes. 100% would recommend!

Amazing pizza, garlic knots, fries and drinks! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Friendly service, very comfortable space to hang out with friends! May come back tomorrow.... read more

This restaurant lacks customer service. After the restaurant staff asked my party to wait 45 minutes for a table, we politely inquired about the status of our table. The restaurant manager's response was to advise us that he didn't need our business. read more

Great find in East Vail at the Vail Racquet Club! Ordered a pizza, burger and BLT for hungry kids. Had our food in 15 minutes and it was fantastic. Good energy in the restaurant - Tommy, Ahmad, Jen & all staff was welcoming and so friendly. Fun place, great food, and nice people.... what else would you want? Looking forward to coming back in future trips. read more

I don't think this place has any competition which can often lead to mediocre food. We are staying in the east Vail area with limited food options, but very surprised by the quality of food and drinks. I don't write many reviews, but this place didn't have many, so figured I'd put in a good word. I also don't usually really care about wait staff/service (I'm just getting food in my mouth, not going to the spa) but our waiter was very down to earth and got the job done well. read more

Good food & excellent service. The crab crevice, tuna poke & the summer tabbouleh salad are great summer options.
