The 3 Best Apres Skis Around Glenwood Springs

CATEGORY: Apres Ski

Après-ski isn’t just a ritual—it’s a reset. After a day on the slopes or trails, people look for places that deliver warmth, food and a sense of community without overcomplicating the experience. Across the Roaring Fork Valley, that balance shows up in different ways, and it’s reflected in this year’s Locals’ Choice contest from The Post Independent, where gathering spots matter as much as the activities that lead to them.

Miner's Claim

Miner’s Claim offers a full-service dining experience built around hand-cut steaks, seafood and pasta in a setting that reflects the area’s industrial roots. The restaurant pairs its menu with an extensive bar program, making it suitable for both sit-down meals and post-activity drinks. Its long-standing presence in Silt has helped establish it as a consistent option for locals seeking a higher-end meal without leaving the down-valley area. The space functions as both a restaurant and a social anchor within the community.

Down Valley Brewing

Down Valley Brewing operates as a craft brewery and taproom focused on small-batch beer production. Its lineup includes a mix of traditional styles and rotating seasonal offerings, served in a casual, community-driven setting. The space regularly hosts local events, reinforcing its role as a gathering point after a day outdoors. Positioned outside the busier resort corridors, it provides a more relaxed alternative for those looking to unwind with locally made beer.

White House Pizza

White House Pizza combines a busy bar atmosphere with a menu centered on hand-tossed pizzas, sandwiches and salads. The restaurant’s location in a historic building adds to its character, creating a setting that shifts easily from family dining to evening social hub. Its takeout options support quick, casual meals, while the dine-in experience leans into a more energetic crowd. The space consistently draws a mix of locals and visitors looking to regroup after a day in the mountains.
