Ryan's Guidebook to Ludlow
Apres Ski & Dinner
When you want to go out for some dinner and drinks after a day on the slopes.
I’ve quickly grown to love DJ’s and it’s my go-to place for a nice meal and cocktail when I’m in town. The Cajun blackened salmon is my favorite, and the bartender makes a really good Manhattan.
Everything there is consistently enjoyable, and the dinner rolls are always hot and delicious too!
Expect a classic American menu with steaks, poultry, fish, and pasta, and a variety of starches for your sides. I go every time I’m in town.

Great pub food, often has good live music on weekends, and Thursday nights there is an Irish music circle. This is going to be one of your most popular after-mountain spots in town!

The quintessential Vermont apres ski bar. The food and especially the wings are great, but it gets crowded quick after a day on the slopes. Sneak to the back bar for your best shot at a spot.

The food here is truly outstanding - it is incredibly difficult to get a table most nights as they have limited seating, but if you can make it in, I highly recommend it. Make a reservation as soon as you can.

A really great newer bar down in the basement of a building. They were hit hard by the flooding in July 2023 and are slated to reopen for the winter season, hopefully in January 2024.
Owned and operated by a great family that poured their soul into this place, go grab a beer from them and play a round of pool!
