Widowmaker Lounge

Let’s start by saying the specialty drinks were really good. (without prices listed, as per most places) it was a school vacation week, long holiday weekend (New Years Day) AND a Friday night WITH a band playing, and the restaurant closed at 8PM (we got there at 8:15 pm) although there are other places to eat on the mountain, I can’t believe this. If we had known that, we would have come earlier or eaten somewhere else to begin with. We left and the waitress was nice enough to save the table that we wanted, but she did state if it got too busy, she wasn’t sure how long she could hold it for.
Which leads me to the other place we chose, Gepettos. We were going to get a quick Philly cheese steak sub so we could get back quickly. Then a few minutes later the waitress comes back and says they are out of ALL beef products. (Again on a Friday, holiday, school vacation week)
This is only my second time to sugarloaf (in 4 years). I really enjoy it there and will be back, but just wanted to make management aware that being a Friday, holiday, school vacation week when a popular band is playing, that the kitchen should have been open later than 8pm.

I had drinks and lunch here with a group of people today. We were able to find seating up on the third floor, which is much less hectic than the rest of the place. They have a great selection of hot cocktail options, which is just what we needed after a cold morning of skiing. The food here is just ok.
I had the quesadillas, which were pretty bland. No one else seemed overly impressed with their food. I would definitely recommend stopping in for some cocktails.

I can only speak for the booze and vibe. It’s everything you would expect as an Apres’ watering hole. It’s located at the base of Sugarloaf mountain and is big and spacious the way a bar should be at a busy resort. The staff is great, our waitress 2 days in a row was Rachel, she had a charismatic aura about her and aimed to please. The 2^nd day we rolled in here, she recognized us and remember what we had been drinking. The had a live band which stopped playing at I think about 6:00 but from the sounds of it said they would be back later in the night. They were very good, 5 piece with brass — can’t go wrong !! The prices are fair, but getting a table is one of those hover over and pounce type places. I get it, it’s a bar there isn’t assigned seating, however I will say that I’ll definitely be back… guaranteed !!!
