Drift In

Drift In Bar & Grill is an open-air riverside restaurant on the shores of the Arkansas River at 10832 Co Rd 165 in Salida, Colorado. It sits at the rafting outfitter's headquarters and welcomes rafters, locals and anyone else. Diners can come by raft or by car, with a full bar, cocktails, beer on tap and tables right at the water's edge.

The kitchen serves lunch and dinner, and two stages host live music most weekends. The venue also takes bookings for private groups and events such as birthday parties, family get-togethers and weddings. Check the website for the current food and cocktail menus.
