Best Nightlife in Maroon Bells

"Not only do you get to enjoy an excellent selection of gourmet fare and libations, but the Little Nell’s Ajax Tavern provides “beach-front” viewing of Aspen Mountain. | Photo: Aspen Snowmass. Sun-basking and champagne-fueled dance parties only touch the tip of the iceberg when it comes to après-ski enjoyment at the slopeside Ajax Tavern."

"Among the top Aspen lunch restaurants, La Creperie du Village sits in restaurant row. Offering a more upscale atmosphere, this bistro specializes in authentic French fare and fondue. Lunch brings salads and crepes to meats and pasta."

"Inside the Hotel Jerome, J-Bar is an Aspen institution dating back to 1889. Today, it’s a high-end saloon-style lounge dishing up fancy pub fare (think short-rib tacos) and unique drinks, such as the bourbon-laced milkshakes. But like that milkshake, invented during Prohibition, this historic bar retains lots of original charm."

"The cocktails are amazing and it is a very easy and laid back vibe. Burger is good but too big for me!"

"Chef Chris Lanter, of the notable upscale French American restaurant Cache Cache, doubled down in Aspen four years ago, bringing this South Carolina-based barbecue joint to the base of Buttermilk Mountain. With the lively Lanter presiding as Colorado pitmaster, smoked meats are the clear highlight here. Order them on a family-style board with a choice of sides and a signature frozen Game Changer — a rum-based fruit cocktail sure to make you forget your worries."

Their publicly acclaimed menu includes local staples like the pulled pork and smoked turkey sandwiches, as well as their innovative taco bar and oyster services!"

"Traveling to the South might not be on the table at the moment, but at Home Team BBQ, you can have a taste of the best. This Aspen staple has been serving up authentic Southern barbecue since first opening its doors in 2006. Whether you’re craving pulled pork or a rack of ribs, you can get that—and much more—here."

"What to know: Aspen Pie Shop’s patio is open daily for pizza, pitchers of beer, cocktails, sandwiches, salads and more. Order online for pick-up or FREE DELIVERY."

"(970) 710-7026The Aspen Public House is Aspen's premier gastro pub serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, après & happy hour specials 7 days a week."

"If you're looking for a casual breakfast spot with some seating outside, look no further than Peach's. Locals line up for the breakfast and lunch joint's signature dish: the Open Face. Made with toasted bread, poached eggs, peach butter, bacon, tomatoes, arugula, and shaved parmesan, it's a filling start to the day without being a major gut bomb."

"For breakfast, lunch or an afternoon snack, this is the spot for local, fresh and organic. The pastries from in-town bakeries are spectacular. Kids love the French Toast Waffle."

"Promoting recipes that use organic, wholesome, and delectably natural ingredients separates Spring Café as a superb restaurant to visit. The menu here is entirely plant-based, offering options such as avocado toast and the ‘Hail to Kale Omelet.’ Each day brings newly pressed juices for sale by the bottle and fresh pastries made from spelt, almond, and oat flours, revealing just how healthy a choice breakfast at Spring really is. Built from entirely non-toxic materials, the cafe is a creative environment that works not only to make nutritious meals."

"I wasn’t lucky enough to go here last time I was in Aspen, but it’s frequently made our blog for healthy eats and post-race fuel. With menu items like the mango quesadilla (with spinach, sauteed onion, cilantro, and Daiya cheese) and avocado tempeh Rueben, you’ve got options."

"The region’s absolute finest example of authentic Mediterranean cuisine could be yours when you come check out the Wild Fig in Aspen!. Admittedly inspired by a unique culinary blend of French, Greek, Spanish, and Italian flavors, the Wild Fig puts its diversified roots to work, capturing all of the energy present in an upscale European outlet, and placing it under the same roof as revolutionary pricing and daring flavors!. With bold pasta and risottos, fish and chicken meals, and plates and side dishes available for your preference, The Wild Fig understands that the distance between their front doors and your own sense of satisfaction is meant to be a short one."

"Proof that steakhouses can be sexy sits in a tiny A-frame cottage in the center of Aspen. It’s called Steakhouse No. 316. Diners cozy up in the curvy red leather banquettes, slicing into locally raised beef beneath the exposed beam..."
