Steamboat Springs, Colorado is a vacation destination on the map that’s earned a reputation for excellence among ski enthusiasts for its Champagne Powder and world-class slopes. However, those who head this way in the name of downhill thrills are often looking for just as much to enjoy when their time skiing comes to an end. Fortunately, here you’ll find an impressive Steamboat Springs après-ski scene! When you’re looking to expand your fun after a day on the fresh powder, there’s no shortage of options to pick from.
Treat Yourself to a Drink in Good Company
For many skiers who are excited to hone their skills this winter in Steamboat Springs, a highlight of the experience is a chance to grab a great cocktail with family and friends when the ski day comes to an end.
When you find yourself with a thirst to quench in the afternoon or evening hours, we recommend heading over to The Laundry at 127 11th Street. This eatery is named for the fact that it sits in a historic building that once served as a laundromat, but today, it’s adored for its many small plate offerings and craft cocktails! Whether you find yourself here sipping on a lavender gin fizz, or you opt for the old-fashioned instead, your taste buds will thank you for the experience.
If you’re looking for a place to relax and kick back with a drink in hand that’s a bit more casual, you can’t go wrong with time enjoyed at T Bar at Steamboat. Located at 2045 Ski Time Square Drive, T Bar at Steamboat is right in the heart of the fun and a popular place to spend time with your group and fellow skiers, too. There’s typically music playing here no matter when you drop by, and in addition to beer, wine, and cocktails, this is a place to pair hearty snacks with access to bar games as well.
Make It a Delicious Meal to Remember
When your day on the slopes has left you with a more serious appetite to attend to, Steamboat Springs’ après-ski scene has you covered.
Those with a passion for all things Italian will want to set their sights on dinner enjoyed at day’s end over at Mambo Italiano. Situated at 521 Lincoln Avenue, Mambo Italiano is a relaxed eatery in Steamboat Springs where you can enjoy everything from wood-fired pizzas to homemade pasta right at the bar, or out on the patio if you prefer.
For those ski enthusiasts who are ready to treat themselves to a night of fine dining after a day on the trails and runs, Aurum Food & Wine is a must. You’ll find this chic and cozy riverside stop at 811 Yampa Street. Between the seasonal menu and fantastic wine collection waiting to be discovered here, it won’t be surprising if you end up lingering longer than you originally planned.
Relax in Exceptional Style
Spending the day honing your ski skills at Steamboat Resort should be followed up with time indulging in relaxation at its best. That’s where a trip to the Old Town Hot Springs comes into the picture. Located in the heart of downtown Steamboat Springs, Old Town Hot Springs is a place locals and visitors alike have come to make the most of a restorative experience for over 100 years. In addition to multiple natural spring-fed soaking pools, this stop hosts family-friendly pools, waterslides, and a fitness center as well. It’s a great après-ski choice when you want to make sure you’re feeling your best for adventures on the slopes ahead.
If you don’t mind a bit more of a drive, you can also choose to reap the benefits of time in the revitalizing waters at Strawberry Park Hot Springs. Located in a forested canyon just outside of town, Strawberry Park Hot Springs features a collection of natural stone soaking pools in a place that feels much more off-the-beaten-path.
Enjoy Live Music
If your idea of the perfect follow-up to a day of adventure on the ski slopes is live music and dancing, Schmiggity’s Live Music & Dance Bar is the place to be.
