About this venue
Anthony Franciosi
MANAGER
Nestled in the picturesque town of Yampa, Colorado—just a scenic 40-minute drive south of Steamboat Springs—Antlers Café & Bar offers a one-of-a-kind venue for couples seeking a casual yet charmingly unique setting for their wedding celebration. Rich in history and character, Antlers provides a memorable backdrop for everything from intimate rehearsal dinners to unforgettable wedding receptions.
Antlers Café & Bar boasts a fascinating history dating back to the early 1900s. When future President Teddy Roosevelt visited Yampa on a hunting trip in 1900, he famously lamented the lack of places to grab a bite to eat. In response, Antlers was established in 1904, initially serving as a stagecoach stop, saloon, and later a pool hall and liquor store. Over the course of 120 years, the venue has evolved, maintaining its historic charm while offering a welcoming atmosphere for locals and visitors alike.
Antlers is more than just a place—it’s an experience. The space is filled with vintage details like antique wooden floors and rustic decor that bring an air of nostalgia and warmth to any event. Whether you envision a casual reception or a more formal dinner, Antlers provides a flexible space that can be customized to suit your wedding style.
For those who prefer to celebrate under the open sky, Antlers also offers a beautiful outdoor area where guests can dine and dance in the fresh mountain air, surrounded by the natural beauty of Yampa Valley. The outdoor space is perfect for a laid-back outdoor ceremony or a reception with sweeping views of the Colorado landscape.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxed, rustic celebration or a more elegant gathering, Antlers Café & Bar is an ideal choice for couples who want a memorable, one-of-a-kind wedding experience in the heart of Colorado’s Yampa Valley.

Awesome little restaurant. Loved the homemade Ramen and tried a few others plates; the salmon and prime rib were both amazing too. Sadly, when we were there we were told it was the last night they would be open. Hopefully that isn't true, would...

UPDATE: they offer chinese food on a very limited basis, usually winter time before the holidays start. It is amazing.

able, & complete menu of options. Service was great and atmosphere was on par. Have always loved there food at Franciosi Brothers Pizza and there high standards translate to this establishment very well.
Simple put, I ate too many of the house fried potato chips and dip. There Salads were fresh, rhe grilled chicken sandwich was on par, and even the peach blackberry crisp desert was great but not too much for a table of 4 to share.
Will be back on the reg. Stoked to have another great place to eat down here.

This place is delicious and the patio is cute and comfy. The shishito peppers were to die for. The fish and chips and fried pickles were yum too. Rebecca, I think that’s her name, was a great server.

Today was my first time visiting since the new ownership took over. I was absolutely blown away by everything, service was top notch and extremely welcoming. At first I was surprised because we were getting a special menu not what I saw online ...
as the traditional menu. It was Chinese food and it was delicious. Also a gentleman got up and played live music he was really funny and had an excellent voice. My whole family of four was delighted with our experience.
