SUNDAY is FUNDAY!

Good morning world! It's another sunny morning at the Baldpate Inn. I think every morning I have the opening shift the sun is already out to greet me. Even though we get the occasional thunder showers in Estes, everyday the sun is shining at one part of the day! So rain or shine come enjoy a wonderful meal at the Baldpate.

Today's soups are Cowboy Buffalo Stew and Corn Chowder. Muffins include our Lemon Ginger Muffins and Apple Raisin Spice Muffins! Cornbread and our Honey Wheat Loaf Bread are on our menu as always so enjoy a piece or two or five! Make sure you save room for homemade pie! We have so many different pies to chose from you might just have to get them all! It is always recommended to make reservations so please feel free to call 970-586-5397 to set one up!

If you missed out on Arsenic and Old Lace this weekend don't fret! We have some more performances coming up August 5th and August 6th. Those dates are our last performances so make sure you come out and enjoy a great play! Tickets are $15 but if you dine with us the same day they are at a discounted price of $12. You can call and reserve your tickets early!

The end of July is here which means some of our interns will start to go back to school. It's crazy that it's almost beginning to be that time because it feels like it was just yesterday we just opened! Because we are mostly college interns we wanted a way to show our school pride, so from August 5th-7th celebrate our diverse staff by wearing your college gear. Share your stories as we share ours of the glory days in college! Answer a few questions about our staff and their respective university and we will enter you in a drawing for a Key Gift Certificate! I will be wearing my Crimson and Grey as I show off my Cougar Pride! Go COUGS!

Sundays are always great because it is a fresh start to the week. So come start your week off right by coming to the Baldpate, we would love to serve you!

Good morning everyone.  It's finally the weekend and it is a beautiful day.  And for this beautiful Saturday, we have a great meal planned for you.  For our soups, we are having Beef Stew and Pumpkin Curry along with our Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins and Zucchini Dill Muffins.  We'll be serving our wonderful Wheat Bread and Cornbread as well.  And don't forget to save room for dessert.  Lois makes the best homemade pies you will ever have. 

Last night was the opening night of "Arsenic and Old Lace" and it was a smashing success.  The house was packed, everyone was laughing hysterically, and everyone walked away talking about how much they loved it. And the good news is we still have tickets left for today's performances.  So make sure you don't miss out on this great production.

Have a great day and I hope to see you soon.

It's just another manic Monday.  But if you feel like slowing the day down and having a nice, relaxing meal, then come out to The Baldpate.  Today, we are having two of my favorites, White Chili and Tomato Rice with our delicious Blueberry Muffins and Golden Sunshine Muffins.  And of course, we'll be having our amazing Honey Cream Cheese Bread and world-famous Corn Bread all day as well.

In case you haven't heard, this week we'll be talking about Yaks! That's right.  In this week's installment of our Summer Enchanted Evenings, held every Wednesday at 7:00 pm, we are having members of the Gillette Farms talk about their growing herd of yaks and their uses both as a animal and a provider of wool and healthier cuts of meat.  And they are even going to bring a couple from their herd, including two calves!  You don't want to miss this fun event and make sure you bring the kids along as well.

Have a great day and I hope to see you soon.

Sunday Funday!

Good Morning all!

Today is off to a great start because for one, I had my cup of coffee so I am awake and alive this morning; two, it's predicted to be about 80 degrees here in Estes Park! It's starting to warm up here so come out and enjoy a sunny Sunday here at the Baldpate.

Today soups are the ever so hearty Beef Stew and a delicious Broccoli Cheese. Our muffins to go along with our soups are Oatmeal Blueberry muffins and Trail Mix muffins as well. As always we have our famous Cornbread and Honey Wheat Bread. A group from Germany who ate at our restaurant last night said that our bread was the best bread they have eaten in America! It's probably all that homemade and love that we put into it! So make sure you come out and try our delicious food we have to offer.

We had our last showing of Seven Keys to Baldpate last night and we took it by storm. Literally. It started to rain but after waiting it out a little bit the show still went on. I don't think one person left the theatre without having a big smile and still laughing. Although Seven Keys to Baldpate is over, we still have another play coming up at the end of this month. Arsenic and Old Lace will be showing July 29th and August 5th at 6:30 as well as on Saturdays July 30th and August 6th at 1:30 and 6:30. Same price of $15 but if you dine with us tickets are at a discounted price of $12.

Summer Enchanted Evenings has been the talk of the town! If you missed out on our last programs you do not want to miss out this Wednesday. We are going to be yaking all night. Literally! Stephen and Jason will be bringing their yaks and will be talking about the history of yaks and their multi purposes! Admission is totally free and this event starts at 7:00 P.M. so make sure you come out and enjoy a night of yaking!
I would love to see familiar faces and meet new ones today so come out and enjoy your day here at the Baldpate!

Happy Birthday America!

Good Morning All!

Today's soups: American Red Chili and Corn Chowder and muffins include a Cranberry Nut Muffin and Blueberry Muffins. Our famous Cornbread and Honey Wheat Bread are always are on the menu so leave room on your plate for those!
Today, in honor of America's independence, the staff is wearing red, white, and blue! Which is an exciting change from our polo and khakis! A fun fact for the day, the colors on the flag symbolizes certain things. The white signifies purity, red for hardiness and valour, and the blue signifies perseverance and justice. Everyday the men and women who serve this country represent these colors of America by their hard work and sacrifice.

Though out the years the Baldpate Inn has had the privilege of staffing some great soldiers! We just wanted to have a shout out to our veterans! Chad, Jen, Mike, Pete, "Alabama", Jennifer, and Rainey and Micheal your sacrifice and bravery is more than appreciated and we are proud that you not only served our country but  the Baldpate as well! I don't know which is more brave, serving our country or the Baldpate! =)  Thank you!

The sun is shining for America's birthday party! So come join us for some great food and company! Our soup and salad buffet is perfect for your hungry appetite. And don't forget to save room for pie!! What is more patriotic than a warm slice of homemade apple pie?!  And speaking of pie, all our veterans get free ala mode! Come celebrate America's freedom with us! We are free because of the brave!

It's a great day to be at the Baldpate! God Bless America!

Peace and Blessings,
