14 Best Bars in Aspen

“This is such a cute venue! We came to see Michael Franti and Spearhead and it was an amazing show! The venue only holds 450 people so it's a super intimate place and of course, Michael Franti is an amazing artist who engages the audience by encouraging us to talk to a stranger, do-si-do with others, and sings in the crowd!“

“If you happen to be staying at The Little Nell or visiting Aspen make brunch reservations at Element 47. Pancake lovers: try the Lemon Soufflé Pancakes, there’s just the right amount of citrus in these decadent fluffy pancakes. Vegans & avo toast lovers try the Avocado Toast. Plentiful, perfectly seasoned mashed avocado with feta & pickled onions on house baked bread is superb. Another vegan option is the Warrior Pudding Bowl, this healthy dish is super flavorful, light yet filling. Ingredients include quinoa, hemp, chia & oat. The Nell’s famous Hot Cocoa is rich, creamy & a quintessential tribute to Valrhona’s top of the heap chocolate. The recipe includes half & half, sugar, Valrhona cocoa powder & chocolate. It’s unreal! I’m a pastry fanatic so I always can’t wait to hear what flavor hand pie (pop tart esque) is on the menu. I also stash one in my ski back pack, makes the chairlift ride even more fun!“

“Spent a 3day weekend in Aspen, mostly dining out every evening. Every review at places said pricey for what you get served. Including this place. Buffalo Burgers are usually expensive anyway... I can say as a fact that the size of the burger was large and thick, perfectly cooked! Juicy Tasted Wonderfully delicious!! I forget what my friend ordered but she did say it was the best thing she ate so far on the trip. We did go on a Sunday kinda late. When we walked past to the hiking trails it was packed all the times.“

“I would reccomend the truffle fries“

“We didn’t eat, so the review is based solely on the drinks and the atmosphere. This was exactly what we were looking for at the time - a very casual bar in a town where everything can be a bit polished and over-priced. Great beer selection. Friendly bartenders. I’d definitely recommend this place for a stop-in.“

“A lively spot where we enjoyed a late lunch. Waitress was excellent, brought a basket with a selection of delicious breads and soft pot of butter plus water to enjoy while I waited for a friend to arrive. The mussels were perfectly prepared with sprigs of thyme as a nice touch. The chicken liver mouse was creamy and wonderful on special toasts that complemented the deep flavors of this dreamy version of pate. It is a very lively place with quite high noise levels, even later when the lunch crowd thinned, so not a place for quiet conversations. Like the French bistro decor from tiled floors to wall tiles to lighting that brought a warm glow to the wooden tables, bar and other elements in this restaurant right on Rittenhouse Square.“

“We absolutely loved celebrating our daughter's birthday here with a tea party. The food was delicious, and the tea selection was good —our teas were very aromatic and flavorful. The thoughtful kids' setting made our girls feel like little princesses. Service was great, very kid-friendly, and they even surprised us with a birthday cake! A wonderful experience all around.“

“Great atmosphere! So fun!!“

“It wasn’t as hands-on as I would have liked, but I’ll look past that“

“Super hyped but still has hole in the wall vibes. They don’t take reservations, so be prepared to come a bit before you’re hungry for a perfect slope side lunch. Four dishes to share was a bit too much food for four people but we were so glad to have delicious leftovers. The overflowing bowl of sweet potatoes was so special and the bokchoi did not fail to disappoint.“

“For a place at the bottom of a mountain this place has the best bar food in town (not exaggerating). Awesome atmosphere and a great place to grab a drink post skiing. Food is also phenomenal. The bartenders are super nice and the service is great. Highly recommend if in “

“Vibrant mix of Asian cuisine and vibrant EDM and Pop music. Mix of dining and dance if you dare! Frank the owner has assembled an amazing staff and excellent menu! If you come to Aspen you have to come and have a amazing experience at Jing!!“

“We had a great experience with Andres who was very accommodating as they were closing the kitchen at 11am for breakfast and we arrived at 10:58, he was kind enough to take our order anyway and was so pleasant and kind from the minute we arrived until we left.. wonderful experience. And the food was 10/10!“
