Very near the condo. Friendly staff. Local secret. Some of the best pizza by the slice or whole! The crust is to write home about. They deliver too, but make sure to check their hours online.

Best happy hour spot in SB! In non-snow season, the outside patio is perfect for sipping a cocktail while watching summer tubers float by on the Yampa. Great HH prices and large HH portions!

This is the best breakfast I have had in Steamboat! But it’s very busy so either get there early or be prepared to wait especially during ski season but it’s worth it. It’s a very small place so keep that in mind if you have a large party.

Essentials

The title says it all..."The Essentials". If you are in Steamboat, you will certainly end up at these spots. But, these are so close to the condo, you will not feel like you are out doing "errands" all day and you will get what you need fast.

This place has the best prices on wine! Even better than Denver. So much that we wait to buy when we are in Steamboat and bring it back! And, it is right next to City Market (right down the street from the condo)...how convenient!

We are big fans of local places to get coffee. We are still trying out places in Steamboat that we would recommend. But, sometimes duty calls and you just want to pop in for Starbucks. Here it is, in the City Market and right near the condo!

Shopping

A little of this, a little of that. These are fun places to stop into and end up taking a little bit of Steamboat home with you. Primarily local places with friendly staff.
I love this store! I try to go every time I'm in SB, it has Steamboat & mountain-themed shirts/tanks/onesies/dish towels/art and more. It is a great place to buy souvenirs that don't look like souvenirs.

Maybe Annie's is not so secret but it is worth pointing out. One of the most eclectic consignment shops I have been too with great quality stuff and always something new. I try to go every time I am in town because you never know what you will find. I have purchased quite a few items for our condo there. A big plus is Annie is a gem to talk to and so welcoming!

Why not spend a day to go see Dinosaur Nat'l Monument if you have time? It isn't often that you find yourself this close to this corner of CO and UT. Go online and check the mileage and great things to see. If you end up going, you can check off an off the beaten path national monument from your list!

If you drove in to Steamboat from the East during daylight, you surely saw Rabbit Ears pass. There are a ton of hiking trails and in the winter, snowmobiling trails. A classic area here in northern CO.

Known as a family friendly mountain that also has some very challenging terrain. Something for everyone. In addition to its famous champagne powder, it has perhaps the best tree skiing anywhere.
