11 Best Bars in Aspen

1 J-Bar

4.2 Good 273 Reviews

330 East Main Street, Aspen

“Listen, the place is amazing. There’s no doubt. And I bet the higher priced stuff is magnifique. But the burger was well below par. I left a quarter of it on my plate as unchewable grissle. Seriously, I would have been more satisfied with a Big Mac. You’d think the least you could get, for $30 is a lean(er) patty. Next time I’m going for something less risky. Now, the ambiance is unbeatable. A great place to check out a game and park it along the window to enjoy the view of the mountains. The place is old world class all the way. Fascinating old photos of Aspen hang on the walls. And the decor is really breathtaking and classy. I treat myself on every yearly vacation. I just hope the next sandwich I eat there prooves to be more satisfying!”

“Ordered the smoked salmon dip, small charcuterie board and fried chicken bites and a cocktail. All the food was delicious and very fresh. Everything was a bit pricey but that’s Aspen for you. They have some incentive boards and unique small plates all done well. If you are in the area and looking for lunch or dinner I would highly recommend this place!”

I want to return to Aspen to have him take care of us again. He has a very positive future in the hospitality profession. What an asset for the St. Regis We wish him the best, Sam and Cate”

550 South Spring Street, Aspen

“This is in the W hotel. Definitely other reviews about it feeling like a night club are accurate. We still decided to go. The food was excellent and service was also great. I'm sure this turns into a party spot later in the evening. Overall a good time but if you're looking for a casual restaurant vibe, this may not be it.”

“Rogger greeted us when we drove in and took care of the valet details. Efficient and friendly. We were quickly seated inside by the hostess and thus began a most enjoyable lunch at the St Regis. Servings were generous and of the highest quality. We enjoyed an alfredo pasta dish , large salad with salmon as well as a perfectly prepared fish on a sliced bun. 5 star quality on each item, just right. Loved the custard dessert. Creamy, not overly sweet. Finally Kahn was super attentive during the entire time. Solid recommendations. Very personable and kind making the whole dining experience so enjoyable. Thank you St Regis!”
