About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Lively
Located in the heart of the old railroad and mining town of Minturn, the Saloon’s building dates back to 1901. During the last one hundred years it has been, at one time or another, home to various taverns, restaurants and even back room gambling for railroaders. While the last five decades have seen the development of Vail and Beaver Creek resorts just seven miles on either side of Minturn, the town’s appearance and feel retains its historic Colorado roots. Recently under new ownership, The Saloon has undergone a complete renovation and reopened in November of '23 with a fresh new menu and updated space. Chef Anthony Mazza's menu features slow-cooked short rib and pork cheek and Colorado River Ranch wagyu steak. The nostalgia and historical memorabilia and photos remain. The space still feels like The Saloon, but carried into the present day. Enjoy a resurrected Colorado Saloon and feel the history all around you.

    The place was great. Nice ambience and vibe. It’s expensive like anywhere you visit close to ski resorts. The quality of the food was very good. My Kale Caesar was over dressed, would have been great otherwise. My fish tacos were excellent. The service was sooo fast which was great but we did feel that our server was rushing us out. Wisking away plates off the table very quickly. Clearing one person”s dishes while the other was still eating.

    Great spot for a casual meal away from the craziness of Vail and Avon. Would definitely go back.
