Biscuit, as David@traxvax said, ask on EpicSki - there's guys on there who know Vail - either cause they live there, or spend a lot of time there.

Hope your over 21 & carry your ID with you at all times
Last time I breezed through Vail I went to the Kaltenberg Castle .
http://www.realbeer.com/nmvbp/kaltenbg.htm |
Unfortunately the Kaltenberg Castle has been demolished, along with the main central complex of Lionshead, which also included the Sundance Saloon where instructors and ski patrollers used to hang out. Much of Lionshead will be a building site until the summer of 2007, although restaurants like Montauk and Billys, and bars like Garfinkels and Bart & Yetis are still open for business.
In Vail Village, the Red Lion is always busy with tourists, the Tap Room is the place to pick up totty, and The Club is a raucous dive where you can catch Steve Meyer, possibly the best (and certainly the rudest) apres-ski entertainer in town. Pepis is for the posh set, and don't forget The George, a Brit-themed pub owned by Jim, a genuine Eastender and former West Ham player.
If you're based down in West Vail, The Sandbar is pretty lively nowadays.
For later in the evening, 8150 usually has bands playing from 10pm. The Sanctuary and Fubar are also popular.

Cheers man!!!
Will be living in west vail (Well 10 minutes walk from it, but not sure in which direction!) so guess that makes a bit of a difference to drinking etc as is further out from vail village etc. (Know there are buses, but we are walkers rather than standing in the cold waiting for a bus kind of people, so will be exploring everywhere we can!!!! (esp on day off!!!)
How long would it take to walk from vail village out to west vail???

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

Biscuit, don't it's maybe a mile or so. But the buses run regularly. As Martin said, the Sandbar is pretty good.
Martin, is the George the one we were in at the end of March?

Wear The Fox Hat, yes.
From Vail Village to West Vail is nearer 3 miles. West Vail is an ugly sprawl of strip malls, but it does have a couple of good bars, the aforementioned Sandbar and also Bagali's. Also a great sushi restaurant (Nozawa) in the Holiday Inn, two supermarkets (City Market and Safeway), and the usual Macdonalds, Wendys, Taco Bell, etc.
