the cozy brown snows of the east
They have the combo of Castlerock, Rumbles and the plaza bar. You can order a beer and cocktail at any of those places and wander around between them with an open container. How many East Coast places have a set up like that?
I think Castlerock and Rumbles and Plaza Bar (hurray for Johnny Juice) are all great. I just think it would be nice if they were open much later.

I don't think Resort Maps is around any longer either. I know the business was for sale a couple years back
It was rebranded Discovery Map after they bought out that company a few years back, and is headquartered downtown in Waitsfield.

I don't have a copy of the valley map handy to count restaurants.

Honestly I don't get all the bent over the Castlerock Pub. They usually have good music and I am a regular. If you look at the big picture, Sugarbush has a great set up.

If I had a place up there I think I would be a little bummed about the apres ski in the Valley. Castlerock Pub is great but pulling the plug at 6 seems a little early. Going out isn’t for everyone but many enjoy it. Certainly Stowe and Killington have night life.

Sugarbush set up does seem nice being able to walk with open container. Stratton actually has a nice set up with its little walking village Grizzlys in the lodge and Mulligans and a couple of other places on the walkway.
