Taos Restaurants & Bars
There are some half dozen bars including Martini Tree Bar (upstairs from Tenderfoot Katie’s) which is one of the hot spots for après-ski action with live music, pool tables, a sushi selection, and wall hangings displaying Taos’s history.Tim’s Stray Dog, also at Taos Ski Valley, is a must for margaritas, while the Old Blinking Light in town is another watering hole with good food. The Thunderbird Lodge has a popular bar for the 35 set where they play lots of jazz and the atmosphere is old ski lodge style with fireplaces. In town, for the young crowd, the Alley Cantina hosts a continuous party and has pool tables and live music. However, Taos is not nightclub friendly and those looking to bop till they drop will be disappointed.
