Great to see Casey's Caboose open again under new ownership. The new owners cleaned up the place nicely and brightened up the lighting in some of the dimmer lit spaces like the hall and restroom area. The bar area was widened a bit and a couple high top tables were added, this is a nice update as it provides much needed space in the bar. The train in the bar area is operational and Goofy still guards the on switch. Casey's was my go to spot for as long as I can remember for happy hour after a day on the slopes, after several years of a closed Caboose it only took me 2 quarters to get Goofy to fire up the train :)
Built around an 1876 railroad caboose and a 1910 railroad snowplow, Casey's Caboose was named after Jonathan Luther "John" "Casey" Jones the American railroad engineer who died in April 1900 saving the passengers on his train. His mother, Mrs Jones is said to have lived near Killington in her youth.
Casey's Caboose has a nice selection of beers on tap as well as bottled and canned beers, red and white wine, and a nice selection of cocktails are also available. Looking for something different, try a Casey's Plowcar Smash during your visit, it is a specialty cocktail with Bacardi rum, tropical juice, cream of coconut and 151 rum. If you are a Gin drinker, the new Casey's Caboose has a large selection of gin, check the board for details on their Gin specials.
The new and improved Casey's has an outstanding menu, the food is freshly made and beautifully presented. They offer a wide range of items, from comfort foods with several mac 'n cheese options, a nice assortment of gourmet burgers to lighter fare if you are looking for something smaller. We ordered off of the Thanksgiving Eve special menu and everything was delicious. Don't skip dessert, the executive chef has a background as a pastry chef.
The team working the new and improved Casey's is friendly and customer focused, hats off to General Manager John MacHardy, bartender Jimmy and our waiter Duffy.
