History of the Lookout Tavern
Owners Phil and Joy Black opened the restaurant back in 2000. Today, it’s charm is infectious. The Lookout Tavern is alive with energy in the winter, when countless skiers and snowboarders swarm the sports bar to warm up après ski. It’s also a great place to relax in the summer after a hike in the mountains or a round of golf at Killington Golf Course. The local staff returns year after year and is happy to serve both old faces and new.
Delicious Eats
The menu at the Lookout Tavern is filled with classic Killington favorites. They even have options for kids. Choose from a variety of appetizers including veggie spring rolls, sweet potato fries, and, of course, their famous hot wings. Or dig into a warm bowl of soup and a crisp, fresh salad. The Lookout also offers burgers, sandwiches, and a number of hearty entrees. Wash it all down with a beer or glass of wine and you’re ready to head out to the mountain again!
Exceptional Service
Because the restaurant tends to be crowded in the winter months, we suggest taking advantage of their call-ahead seating, takeout, and delivery options. Or, simply wait for your table in the game room where you’ll find a pool table, pinball, and video games. The bar even has eight HD TVs for your sports enjoyment. If visiting in the summer, venture up to the rooftop deck and take in stunning views of Killington Mountain and the valley.
