The atmosphere was chill! They made me feel like family. The live music was perfect. The bartender wasn’t afraid to take my likes and make a customized drink for me. And the food and service was amazing!

There’s a creepy bald guy with glasses that won’t shut up about coffee. I think he’s an artist or something. Pretty harmless, but keep an eye out. Everything else was awesome!

I had a private party here, with close friends and family, after my husband and I eloped. Eliot was super helpful and very responsive during the planning process. We had guests from all over and they said nothing but great things about the food and atmosphere of A Bar Above. Drinks were amazing! Chris and the bartenders were super friendly and made some delicious cocktails! Couldn’t recommend this place enough!!

Order at the bar restaurant with friendly wait staff and the food was surprisingly good. I got the Turkey BLT wrapped that was fresh and delicious and larger than expected. They also have live music at night and that has great talent.

Stopped in for lunch.
Place was not busy and the staff was friendly. Inside was dimly lit, so eyes had a bit to adjust.

Menu was quaint, but they had good options. Cool ideas for recipes.
The food came out wonderfully. Lots of flavor packed into each sandwich. Hit the spot after a day on the slopes.

The drink options were vast, but I chose a beer with the sandwich.

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere and friendly service. The Oaxaca old fashioned Cocktail was delicious, as were the salad and pizza. The servers were helpful, and knowledgeable. We would love to return.

The BEST place to relax with a beverage and a bite on the mountain! Super friendly, great food, cool atmosphere, and it just couldn’t be more convenient. Plus, they have the best live music on the mountain. And the best thing about this place? It is locally owned and operated! A true Crest Butts treasure.

Great drinks, even better beer selection. The Sicilian pizza is fantastic. I never order pizza unless I am at a pizzeria, but made an exception here after I saw one come out….so good!!! I really hope this place thrives. Banh Mi sandwich was great as well.

High quality cocktails in a stylish space at the base of Mt Crested Butte, with live music at night. Open seating so grab a table if there’s one available.

Wow! This place is so much better than anything you can get at the resort. Real drinks and excellent food! This is a must try. The best part is that because they are not directly off the slopes, its not to crowded.

Fun, local bar with a great atmosphere and an awesome selection of drinks served by fun bartenders. And open late! Located right in the base area plaza, I will most definitely be back!

Mt CB is lucky to have this spot! Cocktails are top-notch, food is delicious, prices are very reasonable, and the bartenders are delightful humans. A welcoming spot in an awesome location. The bald guy with glasses seems harmless… but what does he DO????
Melanie H. , 2 years ago
Wow, service is amazing. That bartender McNick…..so damn hot. Kitchen is slinging out fire sammies. The manager is so nice with a killer drink menu. But there was this weird bald guy with hexagon glasses pretending he worked there. He was cool though, maybe hire him?,

It’s great to have another restaurant and bar on the mountain! The cocktails, beer and wine selection were amazing! I had the smoked salmon sandwich which was really tasty. All the employees were really nice and professional! I agree with the review by Dewey, I am not sure what the bald guy does.
Xtina S. , 2 years ago
Delicious sandwiches, salads, charcuterie, cocktails, and beer all located steps from the slopes and the Lodge at Mountaineer Square. Great place to stop in for a slop side lunch, dine in or take your sandwich to go and eat it on the lift. The Bar Above is also a happening spot for après ski as well with live music and drinks, it makes a great place to unwind after a day on the mountain.

I went during their first week.
Great place to get something quick to eat while everything else was closed or closing. Sandwiches are awesome. Service was great. I had a few drinks while I waited.
