With A-cafe Swag

Dear Arapahoe Cafe Community,

With a heavy heart, we are closing the Arapahoe Cafe & Pub on October 15, 2023.

For over 20 years, we have been honored to serve the Summit County community and offer a place where people can come together to enjoy delicious food and drinks in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We are so grateful for the support of our loyal customers and staff over the years.

We understand that this news may shock many of you, and we want to assure you that we did not make this decision lightly. With the uncertainty of our lease and the pending sale of the property, we believe this is the best decision.

We are incredibly grateful to our staff, who have worked tirelessly to make Arapahoe Cafe & Pub the special place it is. We are so proud of the team we have built, and we will miss them all dearly.

We also want to thank our customers for their continued support over the years. We will miss you all very much.

We invite you to join us for one last meal (or a few) at Arapahoe Cafe before we close our doors on October 15. We will be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and we will be offering some delicious specials!

I never imagined that ANYONE in Colorado of all places knew BBQ ribs, but I will say, I was WRONG. Simply amazing BBQ!!

After eating the Mi Pueblo Benny at the Arapahoe Cafe, I exclaimed “this is the best breakfast I’ve had in America!”

"This is one of the original restaurants in Dillon, started when Dillon was at the bottom of the lake. The food here is really good, the service was great. There is a full service bar with full restaurant offerings in the basement. This is a very popular place, so you may have to wait a while. Outdoor dining is available and very nice. Daily specials in the bar area are great. The Ribs and BBQ are excellent."

- Ken Rubicon

"Stopped in here for lunch they were busy but very friendly and helpful. Wide range of food items on the menu. I chose the special a poblano BLT meatloaf sandwich. Stellar!! Would recommend this little place highly excellent service."

"Hello, I just wanted to compliment your staff. What a great time our seniors had eating at Arapahoe Cafe. Both times we arrived with a bus load of folks, no prior arrangements. We were welcomed, received excellent service and the food was wonderful. Thank you for your gracious welcome. We will be back!!"
