@Bobab, Clearly they're on a learning curve  (See you in the Bergeralm/Chicken Man/Hinterhag/Goassstall/Bobby's/Underbar/Spitzbub/Otzi Bar. etc)

So been in Saalbach a could of days now, and the lack of nightlife is quite remarkable! Maybe I am not cool enough to find it.

@Bobab, OMG where are you (not) going? Hinterhagalm party, then the Spitzbub, Bobby's Bar, Otzi Bar, Underbar .. take your pick!

Week after new year is quiet all over, even the Mooserwirt is quiet, you can even walk up to the inside bar there and order a beer, no waiting or jostling. Bobab go back in a couple of weeks, things will liven up and by Feb it'll be manic!

@Bobab, Last night we started off at the Bergeralm, then the Hinterhagalm, which was quieter than usual, but probably all the better for it. Then later we went to Spacey's first show of the season at Bobby's Pub - great rock guitar, and entertaining enough to keep a group pf Yorkshiremen I was with in there till Spacey took a break at around 12.30am.
This evening Spacey will be entertaining in his inimitable style at the Spitzbub from around 5.00-5.30pm to around 7.30pm - usually a riot!
Tomorrow it's world-class Irish band, "Cuckoo" in Bobby's pub from around 10,00pm - always go down a storm.
Also tomorrow Spacey will be performing in the Otzi Bar from 10.00pm - but can't really compete with Cuckoo (unless you want to do both - maybe when Cuckoo take a break).
Thursday early evening its the Spitzbub again with Spacey. Also later in the evening you have "Bobby" (reputedly the real Elvis) presenting his Elvis/Tom Jones show at Bergers Sport Hotel - quell your preconceptions and stick with it - he's so bad, he's arguably good!
Every day you have the Hinterhagalm, Goassstall and Schwarzacher apres-ski parties, starting at 4.00pm. The Hinterhag is often enough to satisfy many people's apres-ski hankerings!
Every late evening you have the Underbar (live singer/guitarist every night) and places like Castellos and Taverne.

ya saalbach is very disappointing for apres, I went last year in feb, it was the worst trip for nightlife of my previous 9 trips to Austria. mayby its good for people in the 40's plus but you were obliviously looking for people in there 20's. the irish band in bobby's are very good but there probably very little people there, there is a nightclub in a one of the hotels in the centre, cant remember its name. we went on the last nite(Friday) of our trip. it was ok.

@teddyl, Interesting comment, considering that Saalbach is so well-known for its lively apres. What did you think of the Hinterhag Alm and the Goassstall? Also what did you think of the Underbar?

Our group went twice in Feb and had an absolutely cracking time both years. Hinterhag Alm and Goasstall were rammed, Bobby's was fun, Underbar was brilliant and even the Zum Turn was crowded. Our group ranged from 30s to 50s and all absolutely loved it.
IMO, only Ischgl was better - St Anton maybe on a par, at its best.
I honestly think people who say Saalbach apres is rubbish are simply not going to to the right places. I've never seen the Hinterhag anything less than packed.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

It may be that we were at the wrong places or the wrong time. Didn't like underbar. Full of smoking guys and dull music. Goatstall was pretty good Tuesday though. All the other bars in Saalbach have been dead later in the evening. I'll try some of the suggestions. Having dinner at Berger's now. The Elvis guy is actually a decent singer.

Bobby’s (with “Cuckoo”) was a riot last night, as was the Spitzbub with Spacey earlier this evening. Just awoken from a power nap and thinking of popping down to see Elvis.
