  Great, non-pretentious bar in Vail with good service and a nice, mellow vibe.  Perfect spot for after ski-drinks and yummy bar food if you don't want to fight the crowds.  Plenty of tables were available for our crew of about 8.  The fried sweet potato bites were amazing after a long day on the hill!  It's apparently a great spot to watch KU games, so I'll definately be returning when I need to watch my alma mater. Definately worth checking out if you're looking for a low-key bar scene that's a little off the beaten path.

  Fun bar a little out of the way of the center of Vail village but a decent place for beer and bar food. The pool tables are open for all to play and plenty of the local seasonal staff seem to hang around and will challenge you to a game. Perfect if you're in your twenties and want to find out where to head elsewhere at night, not to mention where you should head  on the mountain.

  After walking through and grabbing a drink or appetizer at several 'Village' (i.e. tourist) venues in Vail during a weekend trip we asked the hotel staff where THEY hang out after work. They pointed us to Altitude, 3 or 4 blocks off the beaten path. It was awesome. Sat at the bar and Shawn the bartender educated me on some high-complexity shots, guys in ballcaps watching the game, and I learned the merits of Frangelico after another patron gave me a sip of his (it tastes like chocolate cake in a glass...were you aware of this? Was it just me that didn't know??!). And because it wasn't high traffic we got to play as many games of pool as we wanted for free because no one else was playing. Still close enough that we walked back to our hotel afterward.
  
  I wish I could've taken Altitude home with me, it would be a regular hangout.
