Mt. Crested Butte Dining
Dining options at the Base Area
*Last update: November 2024*
**Hours of operation vary seasonally. Please contact the business for more information.**
A Bar Above
An elevated aprés ski hot spot at the base area, this “low lights, high spirits” atmosphere caters to both visitors and locals alike. Enjoy some of the best cocktails in the valley—we recommend the Mezcal Margarita to get the job done. Or take your pick from a sweet lineup of beers and wines. Soak up the live music (someone is playing almost every night) and hang out with bites to eat such as Sicilian pan pizza, chimichurri pulled pork sandwich, or the chipotle tofu wrap.

Butte 66 Roadhouse Bar & Grille : 970-349-2272

Iron Horse Tap : 970-349-7300
Featuring your favorite American comfort food, including the best pizza in Mt. CB. Made with their super secret pizza sauce and browned to perfection in a double deck stone bakers pride oven, it’s hard for us to argue with that!

José at Elevation
Located steps from the slopes at Elevation Hotel and Spa, you’ll want to check this restaurant off your must-try list. Their top-shelf margarita is our go-to favorite, and the ceviche is surprisingly refreshing. Any of their chef-crafted, Gualalajara-inspired dishes will definitely have you coming back for more. Added bonus: your furry friends can join too! Take advantage of their pet friendly patio with stunning mountain views. Open for lunch and dinner.

Rooster Run
Get in and get ya chicken! Chow down on some tenders or a tender sammy with house-made hot honey as an optional sauce. Vegetarian patties also available. Open 11am-2pm.
Tin Cup Ice Cream & Desserts : 970-349-2640
Two scoops of the only homemade ice cream in CB please! Not feeling a cold treat? Go for one of their homemade waffles. They’re served all day because waffles are not just breakfast. We like the Yellow Brick Road: it’s topped with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, whipped cream, and caramel sauce. Absolutely mouth-watering. This crew also turns out milkshakes, sundaes, plus custom cakes and desserts.
