New Belgium Ranger Station

The food here is delicious when you’re looking for a lunch spot after shredding the gnar. The pulled pork and chili was my go-to and did not disappoint. The only issue that I had both times I went was the wait staff was off-putting and not friendly.

Awesome place. Great service. Reasonable prices. People who care. Easy food. Not pretentious. Chili dog is on point. They know what's up.

The New Belgium Ranger Station is your typical historic ski town dive bar that is located in a prime spot within the ski village. They sponsored a race we ran today and did an excellent job hosting the after-party drinking activities! We will definitely be returning in the winter. All of us had an awesome time!

Yummy food, good service great atmosphere! We loved the fireplaces and the game on the TV! We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was nice to sit by the fire and enjoy a delicious meal! The pulled pork sandwich and the TBC sandwich were delicious!

Must stop here when skiing in snowmass. Great beer, good food choices and the service is great. It so consistently good. This is a ski bar, go In, relax, get warm, listen to some tunes, be nice to your server. Bar food, beer, hot chocolate, s’more’s. Check out the pictures on the walls too.

Nice place for a good sandwich and a beer. Got the pretzel. Like the turkey bacon and guacamole sandwich. A nice selection of beers to choose from.

Came off the slopes and had a pint off the bar. Friendly staff and decently busy at 2pm on a week day. Outside several gas fire pits allowed for ‘winter patio’ fun.

Wonderful place for good beer and a decent lunch. Panini is small but good. Sliders were delicious. Saw the nachos - huge and piled with fixings. Tater tot fondue was cute.

I was skiing solo and stopped at New Belgium Ranger Station for lunch, not having any idea which lunch place was best at Snowmass. I think I picked well, since I found a great corner table inside, got prompt service, and had a really enjoyable caesar salad that I chased with a million-calorie gut-busting salted caramel brownie. It was a couple of notches above ski-lodge-cafeteria-level food but still really easy. Recommended!

This place has great value for such a cool spot. There are plenty of indoor seatings and outside with fire pits going to watch skiers and people riding the lifts. Menu is well rounded; we grabbed a quick hotdog and Dino nuggets for the kids along with a chicken flat bread and Reuben sandwich. Everything hit the spot. We sat down first and they brought out water without a lot of pressure to order. Overall, service was quick as well.

Best slopeside spot! It's right off the trail and has great pub food and outdoor seating. Menu is fully online and above the bar, no paper menus. We had ipas and nachos. They were so delicious! Will be coming back to try more and drink a beer by the fire pits

Uber yummy avocado smash flat bread. Great food. Great location at Snowmass. Need to come back in the winter.

Love this place and basically stopped here every day at one point or another for Apres ski. The waiters and bartenders are always so attentive and nice. They make the bar that much better. Their tomato soup and grilled cheese combo is the best afternoon snack. Mountain time beer is my absolute fave and this is the only place I ever find it in Snowmass. My niece loves their hot chocolate and hot dog. We later found out that they even sell s'mores kits but they ran out of chocolate when we asked for it. I'll def be sure to ask for it earlier in the trip since they have a few fireplaces around.

Service was great, friendly and welcoming. Setting is beautiful no frills. Food was just okay.

The service was awesome and very attentive. We sat outside by the fire and had a few beers, along with the pretzel and pizza pretzel. These were some of the best pretzels I've had, and they paired perfectly with the IPAs!

I like New Belgium beers, but I like people-watching at any of the Aspen mountains more. And there aren't many better places to people-watch than the Ranger Station! Maybe because many of the people I want to watch cannot get to or from some of the fun, on-hill locations at Snowmass!

Located at the snowmass mall. Great service. Variety of beer selections. Didn't get a chance to try the food but the beer is great. My husband likes the la folie sour. It is a sour beer that has very nice hints of raspberry. The new Belgium blonde ale with light hints of wheat and banana. Ample outdoor seating heaters in place for the chilly weather. Indoor seats too if that's more your style. Definitely a vibe to check out when your in snowmass and a great spot to grab a beer if you are taking a break from shredding.

Fun apres vibe. Ordered a bells oberon and was served a fat tire. Also ordered the pretzels which were decent but definitely frozen.

Located at the end of the snow mass mall with a great view of gondolas and mountains. The outdoor area has a fire pit which is perfect to sit around and soak up the view with a brew. I tried an interesting pumpkin beer here and ended up ordering an amber. It wasn't my favorite, but still enjoyable. Pretty good selection of beer and a great view!

Such a cool spot to stop and grab drinks or a quick bite. Just a little bit small on the inside and no bathrooms but the public restroom is just around the corner. Fun little bar for sure!

Check this place out for sure!!! Huge selection of beer on tap, delicious drinks and the food is really good! We got so lucky on a Wednesday when they were closed (summer hours ) when we ran into Wendy, she opened the bar just for us and we had the best experience of our whole vacation to Aspen!

This spot is in the upper village and is awesome to catch a quick bite or beer! It's right off the slopes and they serve a bunch of New Belgium brews as well as some yummy treats for lunch like grilled cheese and tomato soup. I ended up getting the tbg and it was good (see pic). Prices are a little high as to be expected, but worth it compared to some of the other spots in the village.

We had a great stop 3/30/24 after a great spring powder day! Tasty beer and fulfilling nachos! Our server Kari was the best! She hustled at a busy time and still had time to share her friendly personality. As my beer luck goes the hazy keg blew but she made sure I had beer options to be Voodoo happy.

We skied in on a Wednesday, medium sized crowd, inside was full so we took an outdoor table under a heater and were very comfortable. Started with drinks, two spiked hot chocolates and two craft beers, delivered quickly, overall service was very efficient, quick and easy. We decided on ordering four appetizers and share, went for the pizza pretzel rolls, hummus plate, flat bread and the vegetables and sausage plate. All very large and delicious, we all ate until full and still had a little left over. Another round of drinks, four shots to finish up and we called it a lunch. Great location, perfect service, delicious food all delivered with a very hip mountain vibe. I will return, this place has the total package for a mountain ski lunch.

I know people come to Snowmass in the winter and, subsequently, frequent apres ski spots like the New Belgium Ranger Station; however, I enjoy a good view without having to lug around all that gear! Lunch and a drink after a hike here is just as nice, without the heavy lift. This little village in Snowmass is super cute and not terribly busy. At least not in early June when I visited. There was plenty of outdoor seating and service was incredibly prompt. And you might be thinking, "Sure, this spot looks great if you want a heavy meal." But even if you're not bulking up after a major calorie burn down the slopes, there's healthy options as well. There's always booze, too. Obvi, New Belgium serves their own brewskies and they also have a full bar. Pretty much everything a visitor needs while on property.

Everything was just ok was not too impressed with the menu it was all over the place. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. It has the prefect location for hopping on and off the slopes.

This is a really cool spot right ontop of Snowmass when you get off the gondola. They have live music and it was really nice. I could see myself coming here everyday especially after a long day of skiing in the winter or hiking in the summer to relax, have a beer and listen to the live band. They do have a very limited food menu, but otherwise this place is solid.

This place gets 3 stars because the location is amazing and the beer is good. Unfortunately the service was mediocre and the food was undesirable and overpriced. We came here back in September when the weather was more tolerable and sat right outside the gondola. The band was playing and the place was crowded. You wouldn't even realize there was a pandemic except all the masks! I ordered the soup and grilled cheese and my hubs had the sausage sandwich. Portions were okay but food didn't really leave a lasting impression with us. I had to hunt down the waiter to get a bill and then hunt down another by going to the counter to pay said bill. It was a bit frustrating trying to get out of there when we were done. I'd def suggest stopping for a drink and some music while you're in the area!

This place exceeded my expectations for apres ski eats. I had tried to grab a bite at another lodge but it was completely packed, so I skied a few more runs and ended my day here around 3PM. It was pretty busy, but there were still a few seats scattered about. It would've been impossible with a large group though. Staff was friendly, we ordered inside, and then ate outside by a fire. Tune melt panini: amazing. This was my favorite. It was huge and came with an awesome pickle and crispy plain Jane potato chips. $14 Chili: we got a bowl and it was huge, warm, hearty, and flavorful. I loved the tortilla strips in it that gave it a little crunch. $10-12 Beer: $9 for four 6-Oz tastings. That ain't bad! All the beers I tried were tasty. This place was awesome and I'd totally stop by again.

Tried to get in a few times but the music from the hotel outdoor space was toooo loud. Second time, music was off, so we were able to try the appetizers and martinis. Loved the alpine potatoes, elk sausage and cauliflower. A great shareable.

I can't say enough good things about this place -- Ashley and Anna are the absolute bessssst. If you're looking to quench your thirst after a hard day, come here. They take care of you...plus it's a vibe.

My friend and I stumbled upon this place this past weekend, and it is safe to say, we have a new favorite spot in Aspen. This bar is unassuming and down to earth. The drinks are cold (or hot depending on preference), the food is great with even better people (shout-out to Matty and Ryan for being the best). We will be back!

Ranger Station is the best place for après ski drinks in the Snowmass Village Mall. Good beer, great cocktails, a nice fire table outside to sit at weather permitting. Small inside and can get packed. The bartender Taylor handled it like a champ though, somehow keeping track of what order everyone arrived in and serving up good drinks with efficiency and a great attitude.

Cool place, the service was great. Food is good, perfect for hanging out during a break from the slopes!

Popped in here while in Snowmass on vacation with my brother's family. This was my first time here, but my brother and his wife had eaten here before. We sat at one of the high top tables and there was plenty of room when we got there- but I can see this place being extremely busy once ski season gets going...we were there on the day before Thanksgiving so it wasn't really that crowded on the mountain or in the Village around lunchtime. We started with The Pretzel Rolls appetizer- which comes with your choice of 3 dips- you can get savory and sweet options. We went with the beer mustard, the whole grain mustard, and the cheese fondue. The fondue is to die for. It is literally something that I would put on just about anything (this is where Guy Fieri would say "I'd put that on a flip flop" and he wouldn't be wrong). We had a 6 year old and a 4 year old who basically dominated the dish- even though their meals were right in front of them. One child got the pizza, the other ate the grilled cheese. I think that many of their entrees utilize a panini press to get things finished- The grilled cheese looked like it was made in the press, and I saw hot dogs served in buns that have the familiar vertical "press marks". Both kids finished their entrees in addition to the pretzels, so that tells you the food was pretty good. I would say from my perspective that both dishes looked pretty standard, nothing too flashy. My brother had the Caesar Salad, which is also pretty standard here but there was a surprise- the salad is somewhat spicy, and we spent a few minutes debating how they achieved that, and I think we landed on the dressing and croutons being seasoned with some kind of warming spice and hot sauce. His wife got the nachos and added a side of cheese fondue. These nachos gave me food envy something fierce. Lots of toppings, and just dripping with fondue. I was regretting trying to behave... I opted for the Grilled Chicken Entree. This basically came as a chicken breast with two sides- brussels sprouts and a healthy sized side of Caesar salad. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and I was very happy with eating mostly the chicken for lunch, using some of the mustard from our appetizer to add some extra flavor. I picked a little at the sides, but basically took them home to eat at another time (When reheated the BS were still really tasty, seasoned well with a balsamic drizzle). I think if you wanted to drink with your meal, this is a good place to get some quality beers for sure. Looked like both my brother enjoyed his Seasonal Draft and SIL enjoyed her Voodoo Ranger IPA. Our service was great. With the restaurant filling up quickly I saw they were potentially going to be overwhelmed but they handled it like champions. Just as a note, you should expect to pay higher prices because this is Aspen/Snowmass. But if you time your lunch right (on the later side)...there's a trailer that serves free S'Mores from 3:30-4:30 daily if you take the mini-gondola back down to the base area. So the kids ended their meal with a sweet treat and we headed to our vacation home to enjoy the rest of our day. No photos of the meal, which kind of surprised me but everyone was pretty hungry so we dug right in. Apologies for that- but each item was plated well and everything looked enticing which is why they were devoured. Worth a trip, if not for the food and drinks but also for the atmosphere and views.

Going during off-season (September) this place was absolutely dead but that just meant more beer for us! Super cool spot and dangerously convenient if you're staying at the Westin in Snowmass, as it's literally just a few steps from the main elevator bank. The place is tiny, but they've got great outdoor seating and one of those badass flaming tables. Makes for a great photo op for your beer (see my example). Everyone knows beer tastes better fresh from the tap - it's science! So go pull up a seat here and try as many as you possibly can!

New Belgium Ranger Station is a cool spot in Snowmass Village to hang out at. It is conveniently located in the mall next to the Westin hotel and Skittles, which also makes it super convenient to get to from Base Village. Aside from a lot of New Belgium Brewing's beers, the alcohol menu has a few guest beers, some cocktails, and some wines. The food menu has some appetizers, soups, salads, and sandwiches. The food is nothing special, but it fills you up and gives you something to go with the beers. The service can be a little slow sometimes, but it is passable. There is live music sometimes, which is a nice plus. Catching happy hour time is another nice plus too. All that really matters though is that there is good beer - and a big selection of it.

For the money, I thought this was solid on-mountain food right by the skittles. I broke for lunch from my ski group, and because of Covid we all eat separately. I am not a huge fan of Venga Venga and there is not a whole lot else at the mall that I have liked other than Il Poggio which is closed for lunch. This place hit the spot. I had the chicken Parm, which was not heavily fried like most chicken Parma are, and had a nice tangy marinara sauce. My wife had the hummus which was paired with some tasty glazed carrots. With two local draft beers and tip, lunch was just about $50, which for Snowmass is very reasonable. I'd probably not go out of my way to go here, but if in the area it is a solid option.

Thank god for this place. Affordable, great patio, and allows dogs! We've been here several times. Our go-to to wind down and admire the mountain. The last time we went I got a grilled cheese and soup and my hubs got the chili cheese dog. Both were delicious and just what we wanted. Obviously a great selection of beers and a friendly staff are pluses.

This place has amazing service that's prompt. Amazing little fireplace to keep warm s'mores nachos what more could you want.

So much fun! Fat Tire is one of my most favorite beers, and the Ranger Station has it and other New Belgium beers on tap!!! This place is right off the slopes of the Upper Village. It is so convenient and has great outdoor seating. Other than the beers, you have to try the pretzels baked fresh to order and be sure to get the cheese sauce. Also try the sugar glaze. The beer mustard is not so good.

Absolutely must stop by! Food is excellent and extremely well priced for the location. Owner Wendy is actively involved assisting her staff making sure everyone is taken care of. Everything we tried over the course of a couple days was amazing! You'll be happy with whatever you order. Lots of tasty snack items like pretzel roll bites with sauce dipping options like cheese or hazelnut chocolate, wow!!! Or flatbread pizzas and incredible sandwiches like the chicken parm. Also in the last two weeks added fire tables and propane heaters, definitely looking to make you comfortable. Enjoy!

We love eating outside here for lunch on the mountain at Snowmass. It's sometimes slammed, but they'll warn you in advance that drinks may be quick but food may take some time. For us food was super fast at about 1pm. The owner was super nice, and we can't recommend her bar enough. The heaters outside are super nice, and the wait staff is courteous and fast.

My little slice of heaven...as an IPA-lover, New Belgium has some of my favorite beers and the scenery cannot be beat. The space is huge; I was afraid they would be too busy to get a good seat and was pleasantly surprised by the space. The firepit is warm and wonderful, the pumping electric-indie-pop made for great vibes. The staff was friendly and kind. Can't speak to the food as I only had the Juicy Haze IPA (A+++), but the options looked good. Can't wait to come back.

So, in Snowmass Village even though some restaurants have more stars than others, they're all more or less the same in terms of quality and flavor. So, even though this restaurant has more stars than a few others, outside of Snowmass Village I don't think it would be considered spectacular. But, if you're going here you're IN Snowmass Village, are you really going to drive at least 30 minutes to find food in Aspen every meal, and if not Aspen, you'll probably have to drive at least 2 hours? Especially during the snowy season? We got the chili hotdog, tuna melt, turkey and lingonberry panini, and bison chili. Everything was perfectly fine, but not particularly fresh tasting, but which isn't surprising considering it's a little town in the middle of nowhere.

The waitress only grins at you but doesn't serve you. We left after 25 minutes of waiting.

Everything was great, except for the bartender, she was a total B. 8/3. If you're going to be in the service industry learn how to do it right.

We stopped here for a break while skiing. Great location and drinks. The pretzel bites are totally worth it and staff was very nice. Nachos were not great and chips were stuck together. Also, service was a little slow, had to wait a while for order and drinks.

The beer was decent but the food was terrible. The nachos were way too many chips with severely over cooked cheese. Next to zero guacamole and the whole entry had no flavor. Also got the avocado flatbread which was salad with no flavor on a flatbread that was rock hard. The kids got a hotdog that was 8$ for the most basic hot dog that the kids didn't really enjoy. It came with apple slices which was about 1 apple slice cut into 4, a side of about one total bite. The location was very nice on the side of the mountain so I would recommend getting a drink and hanging out but avoid getting food here

Wow this place is great! I almost always get the TBG and its perfect every time! The staff was attentive and atmosphere was great! There is always good music playing and it's a great place to sit outside and enjoy the afternoon in the sun with a great view! Hands down my favorite place in Snowmass!!!!

Excellent lunch spot or apres-ski right off the slopes. We stopped in for lunch and really enjoyed their pretzel bites, Reuben sandwich, chili and pizza. They offer a variety of tasty beer selections and great food and snacks. Limited seating inside and a large patio outside, as well as a great fireplace to stay warm. Great service and worth a visit!

This is a must for draft beer. I asked the bartender for an suggestion and I found beer that I liked. I like fruity milder beer and I got Mural. My hubby liked dark beer so he got something else. We also ordered grilled chicken entree and Nan's tuna melt. Both dishes were delicious. Service was attentive and good. We enjoyed relax time there. It's a good place to get drink and some snack.

Always great beer selection. I had their triple. Delicious! Chili was good too. You can't beat the location at the base of Snowmass.

Food was great, service great and ambiance for slop side was great with heaters above head to keep you warm!

Good place for beer and snack. Good price. Lovely beer. My new favorite with Oscar nitrogen is Belgium 1554

nice apres scene outside. good beer, would prefer live music vs DJ

Awesome bar for apres or a lunch break! Popular spot so try to get a table while you can. Food and drinks are GREAT! Everything looked delicious on the menu. Ordered the chili, big portion so priced fairly for the mountain.
