The Steamboat Lake Outpost is tucked away in the mountains of Colorado, about 40 minutes north of the town of Steamboat Springs. We are a unique business that provides lodging, a restaurant/bar, a general store, the only gas pump for miles, and guided outdoor adventures, including horseback rides, pontoon fishing, and UTV tours. Every day, we get to rub shoulders with our fantastic community of locals, as well as the myriad of outdoor enthusiasts who come to adventure in this area.
Our restaurant offers elevated comfort food and a variety of cocktails, wines, and local craft beers. We also host many community events, live music, and fundraisers. In many ways, however, the food, drinks and events are merely a means to an end, that is to connect with people and create a unique and personal experience for every guest who walks through our doors.

Our style of service is a unique hybrid of counter and table service. All team members should expect to jump in and help wherever needed, from bussing tables, to making drinks. Tips are pooled between all front of house staff and distributed on your bi-weekly paycheck.
