Killington Restaurants, Bars & Apres-Ski
Killington is the apres-ski and nightlife capital of the East. Restaurants and bars are scattered along the Killington Access Road.Killington Restaurants
The Killington Access road is home to the vast majority of Killington’s restaurants. If staying at Killington lodging property, skip Ovations in the Killington Grand Hotel – there are better options elsewhere. For Asian food, we recommend Sushi Yoshi. For Italian, the choice is Peppino’s or, if you’re not looking to attract a mate, The Garlic. For traditional American food, Casey’s Caboose is a local favorite and the Wobbly Barn is the place to get a great steak.
Amongst the hustle and bustle of the access road, there are a few restaurants farther afield that are easy to miss. Near what was formerly the base of Sunrise Mountain on Route 100 is our personal favorite – the Back Behind Saloon. This Killington staple has been serving hungry skiers in an authentic caboose for decades. For fine dining, Hemmingway’s on Route 4 is a great choice. Closer to Rutland, the Countryman’s Pleasure serves excellent Austrian/German cuisine in a rustic Vermont Country Inn setting.
Killington Apres-Ski and Nightlight
Killington is therefore known among the alpine cognoscenti as a Party-ers’ Paradise. Strong men and women alike have been carried home from the the Wobbly Barn (the name says it all), Killington’s signature nightspot. For live music, it’s difficult to beat the Pickle Barrel. Just across the street, Charity’s is an excellent choice for a slightly quieter bar.
You might try Bear Lodge- as described above, it really is great in spring for eating, drinking, parties, and fun in the sun and snow. Killington ranks number one in après ski in ski country and has hundreds of bars on and off the mountain, including Mahogany Ridge in the Killington Base Lodge, The Lookout Bar and Grill, Casey’s Caboose, and the Grist Mill.
