Or, if you're a local, pick out a bottle for porch drinking or dining with friends. There's also a beer cooler in the back with plenty of options if you're not a wino like me. I appreciate that Arlie Dale's has a variety of price points. If you want to ball out on a $50+ bottle, feel free. And for those of us trying to stay on a budget, $15-20 per bottle will also do just fine.

Salida is a town that feels meticulously arranged by a diorama enthusiast with a penchant for the…read morefrontier. Nestled among the peaks of the Sawatch Range, where tumbleweeds might theoretically roll if they weren't caught in the spokes of a passing bicycle, sits an establishment of peculiar perfection: The Biker & The Baker. My compass has unerringly pointed to their door every single time I visit Salida over the past five years. It is a tradition forged in sugar and chain grease, where the rugged American West meets the precision of French pastry. Pairing high-desert riding with artisanal baking seems like a recipe for a pile-up, but the execution here is a sweet ride. You will find aerodynamic cyclists sitting elbow-to-elbow with flannel-draped modern prospectors, united by a singular quest for butter. The Biker handles the gears, the Baker handles the tiers. They aren't just coasting on charm; they are pedaling toward culinary triumph, baking up a storm that rivals the monsoons over the Arkansas River. The confections are miniature monuments to indulgence. I have routinely panned for gold in this valley, but the true motherlode is their lemon tart--a symmetrical marvel of citrus striking like a high-noon sun. Their charcuterie boards are arranged with the geometric exactitude of a surveyor mapping a railroad. Whether you are gearing up to summit Mount Shavano or recovering from a grueling promenade, this sanctuary provides the requisite fuel. It is the exceedingly charming destination itself.

Plenty of toppings, right amount of sauce and perfect crunch on the crust. We also shared a bowl of potato soup, soup of the day. Which came out pipping hot. Very clean and friendly staff.

You can find our salsa at the LaGree's in Pueblo, Poncha Springs and Buena Vista. lsksalsa@gmail.com

I was recently driving around in Salida while on vacation and was enticed to visit Party Spirits…read morethanks to a sign out in front mentioning that they have local Colorado wine and spirits. We went in and the woman at the counter was very helpful and sweet, immediately pointing out the local products when we mentioned that's what we were interested in. There were wines from many Colorado wineries including Holy Cross Abbey, Garrett Cellars, Vino Salida, and Mountain Spirit. It's a pretty small store and the aisles are a bit narrow, but they did have a good selection and reasonable prices. I would definitely come back for more local wines if I'm in the area again.

Very consistent in all aspects of a restaurant; food taste, presentation and speed. The service is good. Although you order at the counter like a fast food place they bring the food out to your table. There is plenty of seating. The restaurant is always clean and inviting. Salida is a small town compared to many places in Colorado. So the competition may not be as much as say if they were in Denver but if they were there they would still shine because they're just that good. The burgers are very tasty, the fries are great, a large fry will feed two people easily. The shakes are really good. Just like in the past they come out with a full glass plus the remainder of shake in the stainless mixing cup. It's well worth the stop if you're in town and hungry.

We walked in and were greeted by the bar cat called Batman - super cute cat but was a little icked out that he was walking all over the bar and his water bowl was on the counter. The bartender was super friendly and we sat chatting with him while we waited for our drinks - two Sterling sours (think whiskey sour with gin - YUM), an In the Woods, and Fennel Countdown. The Fennel Countdown was AWESOME - super unique and creamy. I love the aesthetic of the place with its mismatched chairs and eclectic art. Overall really great vibes and experience.

We were greeted by the bartender and seated right away (despite coming at 5pm on a Saturday) and brought waters. The menu was smaller but had so many tasty options, it was tough to decide what to order. I appreciate their transparency that the menu is always changing and updating. They also bring our food as soon as it's ready, versus waiting to serve an entire table all at once, for optimal freshness. We both felt our food was flavorful, creative and tasty (veggie sandwich, Korean chicken and waffles). If we find ourselves in Salida again for dinner we will absolutely visit The Fritz.
