4 Fun Restaurants to Try in Killington

For anyone with a penchant for the outdoors, Killington, Vermont, is the perfect destination. As a top ski and biking resort, no matter what the season, there’s something to keep you going. Of course, any athlete must keep their strength, and especially on vacation, everyone wants to spoil themselves at least a little. Here are a few recommendations for the best restaurants near our Killington vacation rentals.

McGrath’s Irish Pub

Friendly, fun, and truly very Irish – this pub is definitely worth a detour! From their live Irish music on Friday and Saturday nights to the unusual décor (a very large boulder in the bar), there’s plenty to appreciate. The homecooked food is authentically Irish, with its menu offering such classics as Guinness Stew and Irish Reuben. Of course, it wouldn’t be an Irish pub without the whiskey, and this one happens to boast the state’s largest selection. 

The Garlic

The Garlic is an Italian-style restaurant that, well, really likes garlic! Their menu offers a wide assortment of classic Italian favorites: Quattro Cheese Manicotti, Seafood Italiano, Chicken Piccata, and more. They have a wide selection of Italian wines and others from the Napa Valley, France, Spain, and Argentina. Every Tuesday is Ladies’ Night, which means food is half price at the bar. So, ladies, drop by for some great food at a bargain!

Back Country Café
