Ok y'all we had a fantastic time at the Escobar Aspen. It was packed. I was drinking coffee and sprite with lime all night. Very hip very trendy loved the light show the DJ played really good music but too packed to dance. I was very surprised to see a lot of older men in a club. I've never been to a club because it's not my thing but my squad talked me into going & I'm happy with the experience. I recommend Escobar Aspen when you're in the mood to grove ! read more

My best friend and I tried to come here after the Big Gigantic concert. We were at the front of the line and next ready to enter the venue and the "door man" saw some women who he apparently knew and ignored us, let them walk past us in line and said "oh no cover for you" and literally didn't acknowledge our presence. Didn't say "sorry let my friends go by" or anything, but rather literally IGNORED us and let them in. So rude, demeaning, and disrespectful to the people ready to pay to come inside. This doorman needs to be fired and reminded the people who keep this venue open are the ones who make $$ and not the ones who stroll by and it happens to be their bday with a low hanging top. Never coming here again and don't recommend you do. read more

Escobar Aspen - Dance Clubs Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

Beware that this venue operates in a pretty thuggish way. When they lost my expensive coat, this is what the manager sent me when he refused to take any responsibility while throwing his team under the bus. I will leave everyone to judge for themselves: "If you want to take legal action the coatcheck is a 3rd party and none of them are employees of the club. you have to reach out to the coatcheck girl if you want to pursue legal action. Keep in mind they're just on temporary visas and have no money. Best of luck to you" read more

very nice staff Cool features and decor all around great music with DJ Nicely poured drinks knowledgeable staff read more

This place had such a great ambiance and vibe. Drink prices are resonable. I loved it!

They do not serve food here unfortunately, but this is one of the cheapest places in aspen to grab a drink and dance. I've been to some of the other clubs around town and they're either extremely expensive or extremely pretentious. The service here was immaculate, it was a $10 cover and $5 to check my coat (the girls were super nice) and i would say it was definitely worth it. Very fun time overall. read more

Escobar Aspen - escobar at around 9 pm before everyone came - Dance Clubs Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

Met some friends here a couple of weeks ago and was really surprised this place exists! We had such a great time, cool people, lowkey and just a hell of a good time. Did I mention the Emily Ratajkowski look alike that was serving drinks, really had to do a double take! She was awesome! This place is fun and cool, definitely check it out when in Aspen. read more

Does not play a variety of music. No good. Drinks are ok. Overpriced. VERY small inside.

The bouncer (Nikola) has been horribly rude each time I have tried to go here. I heard him tell the couple in front of us they were "too old" to get in. It was a Saturday night in the off-season. We ended up not going in, I guess they don't like money and I'll happily spend it somewhere else. Our treatment made me join yelp today. read more

Had a wonderful time the staff was awesome and everyone hanging out was having fun! What a blast!

Manager was super drunk and kicked us out for no reason. Super small bar and no space at all. Don't go here, find any other bar.

Bouncer was very rude to everyone in my group for no reason. Claimed our ID's were fake even though everyone was 21+. It was a Saturday night but dead inside. Ended up leaving after 10 minutes. Weird vibes. read more

Had fun dancing here, drinks can be pricey and when it's getting crowded in the high season people spill drinks all over, but hey it's night club and people wanted to have fun right? My tips for dancing in the night club is, dance in the front of the DJ's it's the safest place from people stepping on your feet LOL. Happy dancing! read more

Can get super packed, might as well get a table if you wana have space to dance at and drink without being shoved around. Fun vibe overall

You have to admire a place that proudly uses Pablo Escobar as the name & logo of their establishment, and their branded vodka, and could care less what the authorities, residents and tourists think. But Escobar is what it is...and underground, packed club that can be hot, smelly and annoying, but if you're drunk it can be fun for a few drinks. I wouldn't spend a whole night here, but I'd have a drink or two and then go somewhere else, like Bootsy Bellows or Rec Room. The DJ's are usually just Ok in my opinion, and the music can vary greatly...from Hip Hop to Dance to Pop to House to EDM, all back-to-back. But it works. And it can be fun. But not for all night. Escobar took over the space that used to be the old 'Fly Lounge', which was the fuselage of an airplane, but has been revamped in a good way. So, now, the ceiling has cool lighting and feels more like you're in a spaceship than an airplane, and the random strip pole at one of the tables is fun for watching girls (and guys lol) try to work the pole. I wouldn't bother getting a table here, if you really want one, get one at Bootsy instead. So, come here for a few drinks, enjoy the scene and then head somewhere else as it can get really sweaty & dirty come late night. I usually try to avoid that, unless I'm partaking in the festivities as well, lol. read more

I was excited and hoping to meet Pablo's youngest nephew at this young, trendy and happening joint but instead walked into an airplane or so it felt. One side was a bar, the other a few tables and what seemed like a dance floor among a very strong sound system. One of the bartenders was absolutely adorable and very attentive and I was able to order a couple beverages with ease. I grabbed a couple shirts for gifts (who wouldn't want a shirt that screams "Escobar"?) and we were on our way. The scene was young and hot, hot gays (it was also the start of Gay Week in Aspen) and our gay friend was sleeping at the St. Regis (what the French?). Small loud nightclub with a somewhat cocky doorman who had told our friend to "go home and change out of his college clothes" the night before since he was wearing a hat and what looked like a sweatshirt as his top layer. Funny since this friend has a MBA and is an entrepreneur. Regardless, good times if you are in the right mood and great concept. read more

Really enjoyed ourselves at Escobar in Aspen. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner and he was a great guy with an equally fear personality. Their staff is friendly and helpful which was great considering how packed they became. We went on a Sunday night and were surprised at how busy this place got. We had a great time and we're happy we ended up here after dinner. Will definitely be back! read more

Escobar Aspen - Escobar patio for 4th of July - Dance Clubs Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

A thin blonde in a short skirt and a cold corset covered only by a meager jacket, meant for late autumn at best, combed the snowy cobblestone walking street, past the galleries and designer depots which litter Aspen like trash at fresh kills. She declared to her friends, who all may as well have been a clone of her with different colored hair, that they could save money if they picked up some clothes at Dior; after all, the skirt they had seen in Hong Kong was almost the same and less expensive here. Their dreary dialogue was muffled by the hordes of drunk twenty somethings drifting from bar to bar to bar (theres only three worth going to anyway). The group caught the eyes of each man who meandered by, hoping desperately and hopelessly that one of the empty souls with bangin bods would at least glimpse back towards them. They did not. Instead, our glitz seeking ritzy's strolled up to the two-food red velvet rope barrier which guarded a nondescript door, the front panel of which only had one stylized silhouette carved into it. That of none other than Aspen's heralded god of powder himself: Pablo Escobar. It's always snowing in Aspen, they say, and it is no different downstairs where the girls made their way past the thralls of drunk dancers and audacious veteran frat boys still rocking their polos from 2006. They teetered up the stairs on their tip toed heels to the private tables at no cost to them. What man wouldn't jump at the opportunity to throw down a grand plus bottles to look into their empty, forlorn eyes, paying for a night they would never forget, and the girls would never remember? For the man who ended up paying for them, who was dressed in his Sundays best Steve Jobs, it was the best night of his 2019 Aspen extravaganza, as his wife and kids slept at their St. Regis suite, resting their legs for the bowl hike tomorrow. For the girls, it was a Tuesday. And Wednesday promised the same. Fresh powder blanketed Aspen outside and in; on the mountain and in the bathroom. These are no hallowed halls, but they certainly get the job done. And who knows, maybe Thursday nights Steve will buy them that Dior skirt. It's a bargain after all. read more

I LOVED Escobar! The bouncer who checked my ID was friendly, joked with my group, and set the tone for a great night. We arrived a bit too early - 10p on a Saturday. Apparently it doesn't get busy there until about 11p on Saturdays. Another bouncer escorted us down the stairs and told the bartender to buy us a round of shots. I was with a 6-person bachelorette party (so my review may be biased - bachelorette parties always have fun and are treated well). That same bouncer watched over the bar all night and was SO nice to my group and acted like our guardian-watchdog all night. He gave us bottles of water on our way out. Not sure if that's standard or we were just drunk and needed it but either way, it was a nice touch. A few suckers, ahem, nice guys, bought my group's drinks all night so I'm not sure how expensive drinks were but the drinks were strong and made with high-quality liquor. The bartenders were prompt and friendly and no one had to wait for a drink for more than a few minutes. I did see the bottle service menu and thought it was really pricey. Some bottles were $2500! When in Aspen I guess. A 75-person wedding party showed up and Escobar was big enough for that group and regular patrons. It was crowded but not packed. Escobar is underground and built to look like it's inside of an airplane. They had a DJ who played a lot of top-40 songs and overall good songs to dace to. I think the best part of Escobar is the service. The bouncers and bartenders were SO nice and really made my night great. Thank you! :) read more

So many good memories here. One of the few places in Aspen that will let me dance along to EDM and let loose for a night. It's very spacey, white, and modern. My kind of place! They even have a dance pole in the very back for those who want to feel risque. ;) read more

It was dead here on a thursday night at first so we came back a little later and had a good time. There were more people and the music was playing. They play more EDM which made it nice too. Definitely will be back if I come back to aspen again. read more

this place was great, off the hook. Had a blast. Basement bar, looks like the inside of a plane. Definitely stop bar. Loud, great music. When we were there tons of folks dancing around. Bartender was on top of it and could handle the crowds no problem. read more

Friends and I had a good time dancing and the bartenders were really nice. There was an incident with a man who was not appropriate to our group of girls, but even though the immediate response by the bouncer wasn't effective, management did reach out and help address the issue. I appreciate actions and steps taken by the owner to help correct any issues! read more

This is the place to go to listen to a legit DJ and have fun. James and Wes make the whole airplane experience way better. They are super attentive and do there best to make you feel like a local. Great times and great drinks. read more

Watch Your Aspen! As a third year local, i've been to this club a dozen or so times. I know it's generally overpriced, but I recently learned a lesson on a sunday night when it was fairly slow. I went to meet some friends and bought a round for a friend and myself. The bartender charged us $36 for two shots of grand marnier... Now maybe it's because he ran the bottle out on our shots, and he obviously wasn't interested in filling them up to a level that would warrant an $18 price tag. Maybe it was his arrogant d**che-hat smile that he gave while he obviously ripped us off. My advice, pay with a credit card and order bottled beer. Stay away from the older blonde bartender who's way too proud of working at a spot with 5 stripper poles and the oldest concept in Aspen... I'll spend my money somewhere else next time. read more

New Year's Eve after leaving a great family party we made it here with our adult kids. The owner greeted us as well as the bartenders. Super cool decor and the music was fantastic. Was definitely a really fun place to be and event though we were for sure the oldest people there , we enjoyed partying with our kids and had a great time ! Looking forward to our next outing at this cool fun place ! read more

A local restaurant referred us here on Christmas night. As both of us are in the aviation business, you can imagine our delight when we saw the decor. The bar service, DJ and crowd were terrific, and we had a GREAT time; danced straight through until closing. THX Escobar team for a memorable evening! read more

Dudes, dudes, dudes...so many dudes for every girl. Otherwise fine. But who wants to listen to robin thicke at 100 decibels if there aren't any girls there? read more

4.5/5 stars. I think hands down that Escobar is the best dance club in Aspen. The music is great, the bartenders are super chill, and the lighting is simply amazing. Lots of well dressed, attractive girls as well. The only complaint I have is that the drinks are EXTREMELY expensive. A vodka and sprite costed me $10!! And a margarita costed $13 at that. So if you're going to be stingy, I highly recommend you to not keep an open tab. read more

No place like it in Aspen. So much fun. had a great night dancing. The bartenders were so nice! Door guy was so dope. Had 5 guys with me let us right in! it was packed but so much fun! read more

Alright for a bar in ASPEN if you are looking to dance come late the decor is cool like the inside of a plane stop in just to check it out.

WORST F*ing place I've ever been to. Customer service and bartenders are atrociously bad. The bouncer, even worse. Not accommodating. After getting my vodka soda with limes, I had to ask for three more after they forgot. Cheesy, flashy, don't waste your time. Go to erics, or even bootsys, anywhere besides here thats open late. Not worth it. read more

For a ski town it's a relatively cool option to have. Alas, it is very small...rarely enough room to actually dance (it's a dance club)...it's Aspen so drinks are accordingly expensive. It helps tremendously to be very very very wasted upon arrival but not so much that you can't get past the bouncer. read more

I love Escobar! It is an airplane under ground with great music and atmosphere. This place is hopping every weekend. Their staff is awesome and super nice. Do not miss this place when you're in Aspen! read more

Easily the worst experience I have had in my frequent trips to Aspen. I've been to Escobar a handful of times, and had a great time. What changed? Their clearly coked out bouncer snapped my of age ID in half! Anyone who has worked in the hospitality industry knows how you bend an ID to check for authenticity without snapping it. Not the case when you're geeked out of your mind. This was on the 4th of July so I of course understand they check IDs thorough- I would've been happy to call a police officer myself to validate the authenticity of my 5 year old ID (that mind you has never been doubted or snapped prior to this). Just goes to show a place can really be run downhill by not only incompetence, but also substance use. Beyond unprofessional and frankly ranging on criminal. Really sad to say I'll never step foot in this place again. And to boot they offered no apologies, but rather LIED saying the ID was still valid! This is untrue, as confirmed by the multiple institutions that have refused to accept an in half ID. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY because you'll just end up at the dreaded DMV! read more

Absolutely love this place! Not only were the bouncers, servers and bartenders all super friendly, the drinks are awesome and the vibe is great. On top of a great time, I lost my phone here and after traveling all the way back to San Francisco, Wes from the Escobar team, was kind enough to mail it back to me! Clearly an awesome establishment with great staff. I can't wait to go back! read more

Reminded me of Bijoux in nyc (now closed). Small. Loud. Good music in crowd. Good spot overall and had a good vibe. Place gets going at 12:15. read more

So cool. The vibe the look and the fun. Ian the bartender is so great!! Dancing and laughter and a funky look. Go late. No one will be there at 10 and ask for Ian. read more

This place sucks. The bouncer was literally so rude to all of our friends. We are a group of respectable sweet young adults and he treated us like horses. We decided since he was so mean to not go into the club. This place looked low-class and not fun. I highly don't recommend it and think that you should go to places like Caribou where they are awesome. DON'T GO. read more
