We wanted to eat at The Tavern. Waited at hostess desk for several minutes while two employees ignored us. We did not have a reservation and they treated us poorly despite not being busy. We decided to just have drinks at the bar and the bartender was very nice and friendly. The music was very loud and not the atmosphere... More

Nice location and view. Food is sometimes better than other times. Worth a try to go back.

First, let me say that we drove past the place four times before we found it and were almost an hour late for our reservation. It is NOT on Mary's Lake Road as Google Maps says. It is set back away from the road on the right past the lake (if you are coming from Estes Park) and behind some... More

I am 90% sure this is the same place. Half of it is a pub and the other half is a very nice restaurant. Both have a nice atmosphere. The food was great and portions were huge! The tavern had a live band the night we were there, which actually provided some nice background music while we were sitting on... More

In the 9 yrs that I've been coming here, this place has been hit an miss. Today was a good day. The Pot Roast and Chicken Fried Steak were EXCELLENT!!!! But I will say that the food here has for the most part been above average!! Service was great also!

We attended a wedding in Estes Park in early February 2012. Some of the wedding party were staying in Mary's Lake Lodge so we decided to stay there. We were pleased with the results. The day we arrived had been a day from hell. Our flight had been delayed 2.5 hrs, so we arrived in Denver just in time for... More

Western décor complete with the stuffed buffalo head. Chairs not that comfortable. The pot roast was amazing but the dinner salad I ordered was just okay. We were there when a local band called Dennis and Tobias was playing. They were talented musically but we did not enjoy the selection… covering tunes like Linda Ronstadt’s “You’re So Vain” did not...

Try the Pot Roast and you will not be sorry!! Amazing. Great food, fantastic view and very attentive staff. My wife & kids said we have to go back each time we are in Estes.
