Top 11 Gluten-Free Bars to Unwind in Vail

Jenn Forsyth

Food is amazing! Servers are friendly and truly want you to have the best time. The most funny part is the menu having The Local and The Tourist - it’s the same meal but the tourist is $2 more :). Alcoholic drinks available. Gluten free pancakes! Pregnant me was in heaven. Oh also the waiter takes the check… I was not observant and took it to the front which was super embarrassing. Our waiter Tony was amazing!

We had a group of 7 and our waitress, Sigi, handled our orders expertly. Everything we ordered was excellent and timed perfectly. She recommended the Christmas punch and espresso chai martini, which were creative and delicious. She explained the menu well and all the recommendations were spot On. I was excited to find out they offered a half portion of fondue and the best , gluten free bread I have ever had. We were all impressed by the excellent wine selection. They were out of Amarone and the Sommelier brought out a wonderful 2018 Barolo for the same price. We all agreed this was our favorite dining experience since being in Vail for a week.

My server assured me that most of the menu was GF so I went with the blue tamale and Brussels sprouts. The food was good, very rich. I think that having a note about how much of the menu is or can be made GF would go along way or even GF labels for those of us with medical allergies (I am a Celiac). The server said there was no need to note for the kitchen my gluten allergy to avoid cross-contamination since it was already GF. Therefore I am taking away two stars for this since I don’t think the restaurant truly understands the reality of having a food-related medical situation many have. It’s very stressful going out to eat and knowing that the kitchen understand in prep by noting an allergy helps one’s stress level and being able to be present and enjoy oneself.

My family and I have been staying here for decades! The grounds are gorgeous, the staff is attentive, and the pools are lovely in the summer! They even accommodated my gluten free, vegan diet! And, during COVID! They made sure I had a nice little to go, hot breakfast every day. It felt very safe COVID-wise. They also upgraded our place and it was HUGE! Just can’t say enough good things. Thanks for another great visit.

Fabulous. Just fabulous. Where to begin? Incredibly nice, competent, and thoughtful staff... You pretty much encounter everyone because they all pitch in to make sure you have the best possible service. The food. Everything done to perfection. I don't know what to add beyond that. Including, of all things, the gluten free bread that was AWESOME rather than the typical sawdust you get. Salmon, elk, duck, filet mignon and even the homemade angel hair pasta were out of this world good. Desserts. Wow and wow. A special shout out to MJ, the best bartender ever (high praise from a former bartender who's no where close to her league). She made incredible mocktails for our boys that included herbs from her own garden. Seriously. Who does that? Pricey? Yes. But, the quality, flavors, and service mean you get every penny's worth instead of "overpriced" places where you come away full of regret. This was one of the greatest restaurant experiences we've ever had.

Good food, good wine selection. Limited options for veg, but several gluten free options. Little pricey, especially on the wine selection.

The hours were wrong when we went. They stayed open a lot longer than what was posted online. The staff was friendly. We ate outside, which was nice. The indoor dining was not available, which was fine. The view is nice, the staff is nice. My son was not a fan of the burger. The grilled cheese was good. The Cobb salad was fine. Would not recommend the nachos. They do have a few gluten-free options, although a Cobb Salad was the best dinner choice for that. I noticed a lot of vegetarian options. They have a nice drink list, but none of us drank anything that night. They did refill water quickly, which was nice. Great staff.

We had a fabulous dining experience at Mountain Standard. An experiences that we will talk about for years to come. The menu is creative and they easily accommodated our gluten restrictions. We ordered the Iberian Duroc Pork Rack … which is served family style and can easily feed three people. The blue corn hushpuppies were amazing! And the apricot mostada complimented the pork beautifully. We also shared the Rotisserie Jerk Chicken. Everything was delicious! Unfortunately the roasted yams were not gluten free. Highly recommend!

It was very good food. Kid meals and gluten free options available! I would give 5 stars but it was a bit pricy.

Great place to come right off the slopes. Pretty quiet which is nice during the big crowds. Cheaper than most places in vail which is always a plus. They had a good gluten free bread (pictured). Gluten free friendly.

Best place for tacos & burritos in Colorado! Amazing prices, amazing service, amazing ambiance and of course, amazing food! It’s a food truck that is next level and has outdoor seating but it’s also attached to the vail brewery. $3 Tacos! Whether you’re with family or with friends I highly recommend coming here! You will not regret it! They also use corn so the tacos and chips are gluten free.
