7 reviews for Bub's Pub
One orders of the nachos can feed an entire legion of hungry skiers, and the buffalo wings are tangy, saucy and good (you can even choose ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side).
We usually come to Bub's for a beer and snacks after a day of skiing, and it hits the spot. You can sit and chat with friends or watch the one of 5 TV screens running sports all day long.
Drowzy service, we ordered lunch and it took over 30 minutes to get to our table (even after I asked the server about it). :-(
Blue Moon on tap. :-)
Want to taste the difference between a Mirror Pond Pale Ale and a Pabst Blue Ribbon? I ordered the former here, but received the latter, and after a few sips I knew something was terribly, terribly wrong. I asked the waitress if she gave me the right beer, and she confessed to having PBR on the brain, and brought me the correct beer straight away. Other than this small mishap, service was great and very friendly.
Food is the typical pub-like, ski food, catering to those with healthy appetites. The wife and I both ordered burgers, and these were cooked to order, very big, and tasty, though a bit overpriced. Kids were super happy with their chicken fingers and fries (the fries were some of the best I've had in a long time).
I confess I was a little disappointed with Bub's Pub. Being the only place open for dinner on a weeknight in Kirkwood resort, I had expected something better - like a warm, inviting atmosphere, stone floors, or maybe a roaring fireplace or two, a good vibe. You know...character. But, apart from the bar (decorated with ski paraphernalia and filled with 20-somethings), it looked more like a cafeteria in an office park, complete with flickering fluorescent lights, linoleum tables and spare decoration. Not really the mountain atmosphere I was craving.
I agree with Jon B: overall, the place is old, smelly and nothing spectacular. But hot damn, those nachos are ridiculous! We downed the gigantic platter of nacho heaven with some Mirror Pond pale ales and pretty much forgot about how cold, wet and sore we were from the day of skiing.
We definitely ruined our appetite for dinner, but if you put those nachos in front of me again, I'd do the same.
Service was pretty slow and painful- but there aren't too many option at Kirkwood.
This is not your regular ski resort mountain cafeteria junkfood ! I feel guilty in choosing lunch over riding, but I just can't help it!!!
Compared to the other choices in the vicinity, Bub's deserves the 5 stars. The fries are ahhhhh-mazing, the fish tacos are ridiculous and bbetter than i've tasted in or out of the mountain, the pizzas are delish. and i've seen the nachos, they are monstrous.
Overpriced. Kind of dirty. Smells like ski boots.
BUT HOLY BAJESUS THOSE NACHOS ARE INCREDIBLE. I don't even know if I've had anything else. After a day of pounding it out at the 'wood, sharing these nachos with a few beers is pure nirvana. The foot-smell is drowned out by the gastronomical effects shortly thereafter...
Went here during the summer. For a "grungy" little pub, it's not a bad place to eat. The staff is really friendly, and their burgers aren't all that bad. The food's a touch expensive...but something tells me the people that live out here await toilet paper shipments like the old timers waiting for the Wells Fargo Stage...so stuff just takes a while to ship out there in "B.F.Egypt".
Over-priced - as every mountain dining place is - but they had a nice salad. Yep, that's about it.
