Cabana Bar

I'll probably never be back since i don't live at Northstar, but the Killer bloody mary was exactly that... KILLER!  And the price was just right at about $13.  Only problem was that it was impossible to keep the condiments from freezing before we could get to them!  Frozen prawn, olives, onion and celery...  lol.  

This is the kind of drink you see someone walking around with and you stop them to ask where they got it.  That's how we found out about the Cabana Bar, and we went on to tell several other people who asked where we got the drink.  Gotta love it.

We ordered from the cart and the server was super friendly.

A cool bar to sit at while watching kids go by on the rink. At  night, the fire pits are ablaze for everyone to make some smores. Life is good.

The setting: Nice & sunny Sunday, 12:00 pm. No crowds. Non-skiing families are lounging on the outdoor sofas as I walk up to the quiet, stand-alone booth.

Me: "Hi, can I get a beer please? A Gordon Biersch."
Staffer, looking annoyed: "I'm not open yet."
"Oh. When do you open?"
"In about 5 minutes."

It's a captive setting in a corporate ski resort, so it's really my mistake for expecting a warm, slightly apologetic smile. But man, I know airport bars and hospital cafeterias that can school them on goodwill and service skills.
