Shakedown is THE place. Great live music, decently priced drinks. Cover is usually 20 but it seems they let locals in for free which is polarizing, but music and vibes more than make up for it
Great hideaway in Vail Village, You are in for a special treat when you stop here. The owner Scott and his house band are among some of the best musician's there is and a lot if fun to watch. The musical talent at the Shake Down will blow your mind! I love this place.
What an amazing hidden gem! After a day of skiing it was really astounding to find front row seating for a live music performance by Kory Montgomery! Big thanks to Dave at the door who leaned that we were in a hurry to catch a flight and convinced Kort to get on stage, perform his original works and start taking requests! The acoustics in this place are STELLAR and the sound guy deserves a high five and a raise, at least! Even the bartender was a laugh riot, and put up with our rowdy group like a champ! Seriously, I wasn't expecting such an awesome low key venue in Vail, of all places. Where else can you find a guy playing Nirvana covers on an acoustic guitar while taking requests for songs he almost knows? No where else! Awesome times to be had!

This place is a gem! I was in a bit of a bind, needing a spot to get some work done while also enjoying the bar's atmosphere. It was a busy night, but the staff went above and beyond to make sure I had a comfortable space. They were incredibly generous, rearranging things a bit to carve out a little nook for me. It was the perfect balance of lively bar vibes and a quiet corner to focus. The drinks were great, and the service was top-notch. I really appreciate their willingness to go the extra mile – it made my night! Jenna & Dess, looking forward to seeing you on a regular, THANK YOU!
Great place! Great Music! Kory Montgomery on stage and Marissa at the bar madre our night!!!
Scott play Layla for me. Piano man vibes hard and EVERY extended version is badass!
Had an absolute blast here! Went here not once, but twice while on vacation. Great live music, drinks, and atmosphere. Marissa is the best— I left my phone here and was departing early the next morning. When I reached out, she replied instantly AND went out of her way to overnight SHIP my phone back to me after finding it. 10/10 experience and 10/10 recommend.
