About this venue

The Lariat offers something most venues can’t: the soul and energy of a real music space with seamless private-event execution. From custom menus and customizable cocktails to a built-in professional stage, sound, and lighting, your event flows from dinner to speeches to dancing. No extra rentals, no friction. Perfect for weddings, corporate events, and private parties, all set in a mountain-modern space in the heart of downtown Buena Vista. Walkable, inviting, and designed for connection. The Lariat has been a fixture of downtown Buena Vista for generations and has a rich history that spans over a century, being constructed in 1885 and made with bricks manufactured south of town.
