You’ll end up ready for happy hour – our recs? Aurum Food and Wine or Table 79 for fun cocktails and great snacks.

It’s small business Saturday and there is no better place to be than Steamboat where Lincoln Avenue and beyond has an amazing array of local shops and small businesses to choose from. Check out Chrysalis for trendy women’s clothing, F.M. Light & Son’s for all things Western, and of course, don’t forget the local’s favorite, Ohana, for handmade gifts and screen-printed tee’s.
Bored of leftovers? Luckily Steamboat has a wide array of cuisines to choose from – head to Fiesta Jalisco for margs and tacos, O’Neil’s Tavern for classic Irish pub food or How Ya Doin Pizza for a big old calzone.
