Copper Mountain Colorado (US)

The Copper Mountain ski village at the base of the mountain is the epicenter of apres ski activities. There are apres ski venues at both Center and West villages. The outdoor patios are popular on warm sunny days.

• Endo's Adrenaline Cafe
• Jack's Bar
• Incline Bar & Grill
• Mulligan's Irish Pub
• Jill's Outdoor Bar

East Village:

• JJ's Rocky Mountain Tavern - good outdoor patio

There is a large overlap between apres ski bars and places to eat and a wide range from pizza to gourmet.. The nearby towns of Frisco and Dillon open up your dining options.

• Center Village:
  • C. B Grill (upscale)
  • Gustino's Pizza
  • Jack's Slopeside Grill & Bar
  • Mahi's Street Tacos
  • Mountain Melt: Made to order mac n' cheese and grilled cheese
  • A-Lift Pizza
  • Casa Sanchez: Mexican
  • Incline Bar & Grill
  • Eagle BBQ
• East Village:
  • JJ's Rocky Mountain Tavern
  • Grand Hall Market

On mountain food is available at all three chalets:

• Solitude Station: top of "American Eagle" lift
• Flyers: just down from the top of "American Flyer" lift
• Koko's Hut: top of the new "Kokomo Express" lift
• T-Rex Grill: outdoors burger and a beer at the base of the Timberline Express lift
• Chuck Wagon: food truck at the base of Rendezvous lift

Its mellow and the kind of place where you may have to bring your own crowd. While apres ski is fine in the "Village at Copper", it dies out early. The condos tend to house families with little attention to singles night life. You can usually find Mulligan's on the way out. You will also find more nightlife in the nearby town of Frisco.
