I visited Black Nugget Bar last friday along with my colleague from work. Friday night being the weekend we were expecting a good crowd and our wish was heard.Being new to Aspen, one of my friends from Carbondale recommended this place to me. The entry charges were 3 dollars each.The bar looks chic and classic. The bartender was courteous as well. I asked him to go ahead with Colorado based brewed beer. His choice of beer was really good. I ended up drinking three mugs of it. My friend went ahead with cocktails and his review was also positive.The band playing live music took the energy to the next level and we ended up dancing as well along with drinking. The crowd was also top notch. I ended up making a few friends. I highly recommend this place to seekers of all sorts.We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here! I am going back soon here.

I have never left a review, let alone a bad one, but my experience tonight was horrifying. I witnessed the owner drunkenly berate and shout at a woman, who I found out was an employee of his, so I pretty much immediately left. I have come to this bar before and have been underwhelmed by the offerings and the space (very dirty!), but seeing this is enough for me to never go in there again. This is a well-known bar in this valley, but I will be letting everyone I know who goes there about this experience.

I have never left a bad review, or any review really, of a bar or restaurant. As someone who has worked in the service industry, including a bar, for over 5 years, I understand how challenging this form of work can be. However, last night a bartender at The Black Nugget was so abrasive to myself and my brother, that it drove me to tears and I struggled to sleep last night as a result of his aggressive, mean nature. I love a good 'tells it like it is bartender' but this man was rude, aggressive, and unwelcoming. My brother and I went to the black nugget after a super heavy and delicious meal at Phat Thai. We had a couple drinks, but between the heavy food, tons of water, and a couple of walks around downtown Carbondale, we were far from being overly intoxicated. We went to the black nugget for one drink. My brother asked a simple question, "is it okay to sit at the bar or should we grab a table." He immediately and aggressively kicked us out... as a response to that question. We thought he might be kidding, but he said "I'm not f****** around. I'm not serving you." I may have used unkind language in response to this.After being kicked out, for no real reason, I went back to order a glass of water and to ask him why. He began to yell at me, saying that he "saw my boyfriend screaming at me outside." First of all, he is my brother and that absolutely was not the case. The fact that the bartender was screaming at me, in response to thinking that my "boyfriend was screaming at me" was a concern.A kind woman, who works at the black nugget, came to speak with me. She said he had the right to not serve me, as it was up to his digression. I understood that, but as someone who was not visibly intoxicated, I simply asked her "would you serve me?" She said she couldn't answer, which makes me believe that if she thought I was too intoxicated that she would say "yes" but she did not.The bar was practically empty minus one table and a single man sitting at the bar. Perhaps if the staff was welcoming and not abrasive, they would see more people in there.

This place felt like a local hot spot and had a very nice environment. Friendly staff and even had a furbaby dog to greet us. This was our first stop before signing into the airbnb, so hubby enjoyed his drink after a long drive. I couldn't have any alcohol due to dietary restrictions at the time so I was hoping they had coffee. That would be the one thing I would recommend is to have coffee available. I can only drink water, milk, and coffee so I had limited options. But besides that I enjoyed the visit as it was a nice place to rest a lil before check in time.

The closet thing to a dive bar here, which I'm all about. And they have miners tags hanging around, which I think is cool as a miners daughter.
Great staff, great customers, awesome venue for music.... All around a fun night out
Fantastic staff and an amazing bar! Went to go see friends band play and had such a great time!
Great friendly local bar with outdoor patio.
Good live music on the evening I went
