Apres Cafe

This is the place East Vail needed. Great food & drinks and atmosphere, and the service was awesome as well! The pizzas are especially delicious, but everything is stellar.

It’s amazing to have a new spot in East Vail and I couldn’t be happier for the owners!

This is a wonderful option in an area with few options. If there's a wait for a table when you come they've got a nice bar to get a drink and help pass the time. Everything I've had was delicious: the pizza toppings are creative and the dough was so delicious. Fresh seafood flown in frequently from Seattle Fish company makes their crab roll sandwich delicious. The beet salad has some delicious veggies and drool-worthy blue cheese. The french onion burger on a pretzel was a super interesting taste combination and so satisfyingly tasty. They also offer takeout!

After our first dinner service there, and certainly not our last, we have absolutely no doubt as to what all the buzz is about around the new Apres Cafe at the Raquet Club in East Vail. A massive congratulations to Chef Michael Ianniello, and to all of the wonderful people involved in opening this fantastic nook of a spot nestled in the depths of the Narnia-like mountain fantasyland that East Vail truly is. Seeing it so lively on a Thursday during a dinner rush during it's first two months of being open, and hearing the constant chatter, and that is no exaggeration, amongst the many tables around us, as well as seeing the smiling faces and full bellies all around was a true pleasure. The service staff was absolutely fantastic as well, and offered plenty of recommendations all with sincerity and a smile.

And the meal? Well, it's beyond words, but pictures might aaalmost do it justice. A beautiful orchestration of incredible combinations of flavor in each different course made for an incredibly exciting and enjoyable meal.

I cannot enough express how much of a pleasure it is to see the people I love most in life flourishing in their passions, and having an opportunity to share and appreciate their art and skill with other loved ones, but please do yourself a favor and stop by the Apres Cafe to treat yourself whenever you have a moment. Because as Mike always says, "Only the best for the best of people," and when you're in his dining room, you're always the best of people, and you're truly in for a treat.

Thank you, Apres Cafe and keep killing it. I can't wait to see where this place goes!

Amazing food and amazing people. Tommy picked me up off the snow in the morning after a wipeout and then saw him again this evening slinging pizzas. The pizzas were incredible, easily the best crust I’ve ever had. Everything we ordered was delicious, the staff was very knowledgeable about food allergies (gluten, shellfish). Looking forward to coming back!

Great experience. Friendly staff, great vibe, and really good food. Had pizzas, garlic knots, and rhe sausage pasta, all great. Have been coming to vail for a few years now eating at many different places and this place is definitely a keeper for very good food at a great value. Try it!

FINALLY! An EXCELLENT food and beverage option in east vail. Multiple bars, televisions in upper bar for sports, large fireplace in lower main dining room. Great food and staff! Great for apres or a casual dinner, avoid the hassles of the village. Located in the middle of East vail. Easy, free parking.

Well prepared food with high quality ingredients. Great vegetarian options. We sat at the bar and the bartender made drink recommendations and the best margarita I’ve ever had. As for food, it’s hard to pick a favorite item we ordered. The white bean hummus, shrimp and crab pasta, and pizza were all delicious. We can’t wait to return to try more of the menu! A hidden gem, and well worth the drive to East Vail if you’re down valley.

Stopped by for a late lunch and loved it all! We had a blt, salad and hummus. We loved it all so much we got a pizza to go for dinner. The pizza was also 👍🏻👍🏻. My only complaint is they don’t have one where we live. The Apres cafe is just what Vail needs.

Great spot run by great people! Good excuse to bike to east vail! Pizza is delicious

Such a fun atmosphere and great friendly service! Crab Roll was excellent and the pizza was amazing! Highly recommend!! I’ll be back for sure!
