About

Revel is the main restaurant and bar at The Hythe, the Luxury Collection resort on West Lionshead Circle, a few minutes' walk from the Eagle Bahn Gondola. The hotel bills it as the place where après begins, but it is more than a lounge: the kitchen serves from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., with Colorado-leaning plates and a full dinner menu behind the cocktails.

It suits skiers finishing the day in Lionshead, hotel guests who want dinner without leaving the building, and groups who want to share a cheese board and a round of drinks. You do not need to be staying at The Hythe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Revel's hours, and do they change by season?
Daily from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., with the kitchen closing at 10 p.m. OpenTable splits the day more finely: the bar runs 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. and dinner service runs 4 to 10 p.m., with the midday menu (après plates, salads, sandwiches) served from 11:30 a.m. The menu itself changes between winter and summer, so dishes and prices quoted anywhere are the current season's. No seasonal closure is published for Revel, but shoulder-season operation can contract without notice (a hotel guest in June 2026 reported an 8 p.m. bar close), so in the spring and fall shoulder weeks, call (970) 477-5618 before you go.
Does Revel take reservations, and do I have to be a guest of The Hythe?
Yes to booking, no to being a guest. Revel takes reservations on OpenTable (listed as "Revel at The Hythe Vail"), for the dinner service OpenTable shows as 4 to 10 p.m. daily, and you can also call the restaurant directly on (970) 477-5618. You do not need to be staying at The Hythe: Revel is open to everyone, and its après hour is aimed at skiers coming off the Eagle Bahn Gondola, a few minutes' walk away in Lionshead Village. Revel is at 715 West Lionshead Circle, inside The Hythe.
What should I order at Revel?
Start with the après sharing plates the room is built around: the Revel Raclette with steak tips and prosciutto ($28), the Alpine Harvest baked-brie skillet for two ($25), and the Chästeilet board of Colorado cheeses ($26). Midday, order the NY Steak Grilled Cheese ($29), the Hythe Smash Burger ($26) or the Bison Chili ($14). At dinner, the Fitch Ranch prime ribeye ($62), the Revel Salmon ($49) and the bone-in Hythe Pork Chop ($54) lead the entrées, which start at $30. To drink, The Gothic Line ($30, 10th Mountain rye and brandy) is the cocktail reviewers name, the Revel Old Fashioned ($17) is built on Woody Creek rye, and all six Colorado beers pour at $8. The full menu is on The Hythe's Revel page; it changes between winter and summer.
What do reviews say about Revel?
The two platforms disagree, and both are quoted with their counts so you can weigh them. As of October 2026, OpenTable rates Revel 4.1 out of 5 from 138 verified diner reviews (ambience 4.4, food 4.3, service 3.9, value 3.9); Google rates it 3.8 from 75 reviews. Diners praise the room itself, the cocktails (The Gothic Line by name) and the food's highs; the recurring criticism is service that varies from excellent to rough, which is why the service sub-score is the lowest of the four. Read it as a well-liked hotel restaurant with an uneven service record, not as either platform's number alone.
What does a meal cost at Revel?
From the menu itself: après sharing plates $7 to $28, salads $18 to $24 (bison chili $14), sandwiches $26 to $29, and entrées $30 to $62, with the meat and fish mains at $40 to $62. Cocktails run $15 to $30, Colorado beers are $8, and wine by the glass is $12 to $17. That spread is why the web's labels differ: OpenTable's "$31 to $50" describes a main course and Google's "$40-50" a typical spend. Budget roughly $45 to $85 per person for shared starters, a main and a drink, before tax and tip. Prices change when the menu rotates by season.
Is Revel just a bar, or a full restaurant?
Both, in one room. Revel is The Hythe's main restaurant and its après bar: the kitchen serves a full menu from 11:30 a.m. (après sharing plates, salads, sandwiches, and a dinner entrée section from the late afternoon, per OpenTable's 4 to 10 p.m. dinner service), and the bar stays open an hour after the kitchen closes at 10 p.m., to 11 p.m. Its own tagline is "Welcome to where après begins", and the bar is busiest when the lifts close, but dinner here is a real dinner, not bar food.
Is Revel good for kids?
Yes, especially at lunch and early dinner. The official menu has a dedicated Groovers Kids Menu: chicken or steak with mashed potatoes and broccolini ($25), chicken tenders ($22), grilled cheese ($18), mac & cheese ($18), a quesadilla ($18) and PB + J ($16), plus kids' desserts from $5. The room is a hotel lounge, so evenings run lively (OpenTable's noise rating is "Energetic" in its latest crawl), and there is no separate family area; an early seating is the comfortable way to do it with younger children.
Does Revel have vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free options?
Yes, and the menu marks them dish by dish. Vegetarian dishes include the baked-brie Alpine Harvest Skillet ($25), the Chästeilet cheese board ($26), the Roasted Cauliflower entrée ($30) and Page's Summer Pasta ($30). The Flower Child hummus plate ($23) is marked vegan. Dishes marked gluten-free include the Grilled Chili-Lime Shrimp ($26), the Colorado Cobb ($24), and four of the six entrées, including the salmon ($49) and the ribeye ($62). The marks are the restaurant's own, printed on its menu, so this is one dietary answer a diner can rely on; call (970) 477-5618 if an allergy, rather than a preference, is the constraint.
Can Revel host a large group or a private event?
Yes, through the restaurant's group program rather than a normal reservation. OpenTable's profile for Revel offers a Large Party Menu for groups of 16 or more, coordinated by email at [email protected], and lists a private room; the room is also used for ticketed private dinners (a $200-per-person prepaid dinner ran there on October 16, 2026). Smaller groups are the lounge's everyday business: the après menu of raclette, brie skillet and cheese boards is built for sharing. The Hythe's wider meetings program sits in the same building for larger formats.
Where do I park for Revel, and what is the dress code?
Revel is inside The Hythe at 715 West Lionshead Circle. The hotel's parking is valet only, at $65 per day on Marriott's published rate, and there is no self-parking at the hotel; no free or discounted diner valet is published for Revel, so do not expect one. Lionshead is also walkable from the Eagle Bahn Gondola (about five minutes) and served by Vail's In-Town bus route. Dress is Business Casual on OpenTable, whose dining style is Casual Elegant: neat and put-together rather than formal, with no jacket required.
