13 Best Cocktail Bars in Aspen

“Our waitress definitely could have been better, the food absolutely made up for the poor service. The oysters were so good and the red snapper was delicious!“

“One of my favorite restaurants in the US is Daniel in NYC. Bosq reminds me of that restaurant with the quality and creativity of dishes and the warm and inviting feeling you get dining there. The staff, Natalie in our case, and Sergei made my wife and me feel as if we were regulars. In fact, it was their warmth that set the mood for a spectacular experience. We started our first date with Bosq's 7-course chef tasting with the pairing selected by Nick. Now Nick is an interesting sommelier. He is knowledgeable and approachable. At the end of our gastronomic experience, Chef Barcley introduced himself, as he appeared to do with all of the diners. I explained to Chef Barclay, that his cooking reminded me of Chef Daniel Boulud. He was slightly taken aback and then stated he has worked with Chef Boulod. Chef Barcley's cooking is world class. My wife and I enjoyed it so much, I canceled one of our reservations to dine at Bosq twice during our week long stay in Aspen. If you want world class food and spectacular service, I highly recommend Bosq. If we lived near Aspen, we would most certainly be regulars!“

“We had such a wonderful experience at Stranahan’s in Aspen while celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with fresh flowers on the table and everything beautifully presented.

We shared the potatoes and a vegetable tray with homemade hummus, and both were fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. The highlight, though, was the whiskey flight with the chocolate pairing. Such a fun and memorable way to experience the different whiskeys.

What really made the evening special was the hospitality. As soon as Brahan found out we were celebrating our anniversary, he went out of his way to make us feel incredibly welcome and even treated us to a complimentary pour of their Cherry Soda Single Malt, which was absolutely incredible.

It was exactly the kind of thoughtful, memorable experience you hope for on a milestone anniversary. Fantastic whiskey, beautiful atmosphere, great food, and genuinely wonderful hospitality. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“I recently celebrated my good friends 30th birthday at Duemani. To say we had an incredible experience would be an understatement. The team went above and beyond to make our evening special. From custom printed menus with the birthday boys name, to allowing us to play our own music when the dining room emptied out, every effort was made to tailor our experience perfectly. Every dish we had was outstanding and there is such a variety of amazing clean/healthy food on the menu. We drank incredible wine served in Zaltos (if you know you know) and were handed homemade soft serve ice cream on our way out.
As someone in the restaurant buisness as well, I was blown away by the hospitality and left feeling inspired.
Me and the other guests are still talking about how special this meal was.“

“Delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Without a doubt, this is the best place in Aspen for a drink. It’s trendy, but for good reason—the place truly deserves the hype. I absolutely love it. The cocktails are delicious, creative, and perfectly made.

Yes, it’s expensive, but if you’re in Aspen, you already know what to expect. The setting feels magical, almost like a fairytale, making it an unforgettable spot for cocktails and ambiance.“

“I recently visited Ponyboy Aspen Bar and I was blown away by the amazing atmosphere and top-notch service. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a friendly welcome. The decor was stunning and the ambiance was perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic date.The drinks were top-notch, with a wide selection of craft beers, cocktails, and wines. I was impressed by the bartenders' knowledge and skill in creating delicious and unique drinks. The food was also incredible, with a menu featuring a variety of appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavors were out of this world.But the best part of my experience at Ponyboy Aspen Bar was the friendly and attentive service. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that my evening was perfect, from the moment I walked in until the moment I left. I can't recommend this place enough - it truly is a hidden gem. Five stars all the way!“

“Good food @affordable prices while enjoying great mountain views“

“The Butter Chicken Pizza at Zigzag Aspen is a flawless 5-star masterpiece that perfectly fuses rich, creamy Indian flavors with a smoky, crisp wood-fired crust. The tender chicken and savory sauce provide ultimate comfort food, making it an absolute must-order after a day on the mountain. The vibrant atmosphere and fast service only add to an already incredible dining experience.“

“8/8/26 female server possibly of Indian descent working solo deserves recognition. She was very kind, prompt, and courteous. She ran the inside and outside very well all by herself. There was one cook who made an amazing breakfast burrito for me and was also friendly. They make a great team! Hidden gem especially for a breakfast burrito it’s usually not busy in the morning.“

“Khan, our fabulous server, was a professional from the beginning. Explained the wine and dishes perfectly. His gentle and non invasive manner was a great end to a long day. 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“

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