The Mad River Valley Village

Live Music in Stark’s Pub
2025-08-27 17:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York)
Stark’s Pub offers a one-of-a-kind family dining experience you won’t find anywhere else in the Mad River Valley. Open daily during the ski season from 11:00 AM to 5:30 PM whenever the mountain is running, and throughout the summer—from Memorial Day through peak foliage in October—Stark’s Pub serves dinner Wednesday through Saturday from 4:30 to 8:30 PM.

In the warmer months, enjoy stunning mountain views while dining al fresco on the deck or from the comfort of the cozy indoor seating. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, with yard games to entertain kids and miles of scenic hiking trails just steps from your table.
Whether you’re winding down after a day on the slopes or hiking in the Green Mountains, Stark’s Pub is the perfect spot to refuel and reconnect. Don’t miss our live music performances—après-ski in the winter and on Wednesday summer evenings. For a full schedule of musical guests, visit our event calendar.
A special thanks to our friends at Lawson’s Finest Liquids for helping us support local artists and keep the good vibes going all year long at Stark’s Pub.
