My husband and I were walking around downtown Aspen, needing some food and possibly a cocktail,…read morewhen we noticed The Boat Tow. It has a nice outdoor area, but we chose to sit inside at the bar, where we met Zachary- the bartender, who was amazing. He was very nice, friendly and super knowledgeable about their menu. We started off with deviled eggs- (not pictured.) They're pretty traditional deviled eggs, but have smoked trout & roe on top. We ordered them with the roe but no smoked trout- just personal preference... they were tasty! My husband loved his Cheese steak and really loved the addition of green chilis! & I absolutely loved my Bibb salad with grilled chicken- I was very excited that it came with avocado- so delicious!! The way the chicken was grilled was great- had a nice crisp on it! We had a great lunch & great conversation with Zachary!! Super experience !!

Easy to talk to, whether it's sports, food/beer, or the mountains! Service: We love seeing Jackson!! Met him on our first trip to Aspen, super nice guy (ask him for his favorite drink). Love popping in and see him when we're in town. Food: We usually come in the winter and I always get the chili (which is my favorite) this time (summer so no chili) the guys recommend the Baja bowl either chicken and 10/10.. I've been here for a week or so and I've eaten this bowl for lunch every other day. Can't wait to be back!

The meats are incredibly tender and full of flavor, clearly done right. It's very family-friendly--kids are given a coloring sheet, kids menu, and crayons, which is always appreciated. There's plenty of seating, so it doesn't feel cramped even when busy. Service is quick and genuinely friendly, and the menu offers lots of options, so there's something for everyone. They also take reservations, which is a big plus, and street parking is available. An easy 4/5--great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

The place has plenty of history and has been a social spot in Aspen for generations. The Old West vibe is still very much alive, which is rare in a city that has more hipster spots than anything else. My partner and I both enjoyed our cocktails. We sat at the bar, but there were plenty of tables too. Service was decent, if a little inconsistent. Our first server was fine but seemed somewhat checked out, while the second one randomly brought us bar snacks around our second drink (nuts, and they were delicious). Left me wondering why the first server didn't do the same. The cocktails are pricey, $20+ with a 22% gratuity automatically added to the check, but it IS Aspen after all. The local beers were fairly priced, which was a nice surprise.

Large menu but varied and you could find something for everyone. Small beer menu and not much on tap. Prices are very reasonable for Aspen. 1. Wings - Large in size and flavorful. Not as crunchy as I'd like. 2. Flautas - Cut in half. Very good and filled with delicious chicken. Overall, a great spot to watch sports, get a beer or get some pub food.

The view was beautiful, but the atmosphere was not lively at all and definitely not the vibe we…read morewere looking for, so we politely asked to cancel our reservation and chose to dine elsewhere. Despite the place being nearly empty, they charged me a $100 cancellation fee for canceling within 24 hours. I called afterward hoping they might reconsider given the circumstances, but the manager was shockingly rude and had no interest in resolving the issue or showing any level of customer care. It's not as if we took a table away from paying customers in a packed restaurant. Charging that kind of fee when the restaurant was empty is one thing, but the dismissive and hostile attitude made it far worse. Aspen is known for warm hospitality, and everyone else we encountered was wonderful. Unfortunately, this was the worst customer service experience I had there. I would strongly recommend spending your money somewhere that values its guests.

We came here for drinks on our last trip and thought it would be a good place for lunch after a…read morehike. It's been around for a while, and it's Aspen. The food was terrible, expensive and the staff seemed like doing their job was annoying to them. The gazpacho was so acidic I couldn't eat it. The baby lettuces that were supposed to have stone fruit, had a few pieces of fruit that looked like it came from a can. The rest of the ingredients were non existent and the chicken I added was a dry, tiny piece that was grilled, no flavor at all. My husbands pizza also looked terrible, I've seen better things come from a box. Our lunch cost is $100, we are always good tippers, we left 5%. If we weren't tired and hungry after a hike, we would have walked out to find better food.

This is a great locals hangout that has gradually become more and more popular…read more We arrived at 5:30 and by 6pm the place was slammed. They were staffed well but our waitress made a mistake, she took our entire group order by memory but forgot to enter one dish into the order entry for the kitchen and when all the food arrived we were short one order of Kung Pao chicken. When quizzed about it, she replied, "it's coming" so we assumed it was just a minute or two out. Ten minutes later no food. We asked again and she said curtly, "it's coming ". Needless to say by the third time we asked, everyone was done eating and it was still " it's coming bullshit". Only after we confronted the waitress and asked for the manager, who begrudgingly removed the dish from our meal, did she confess that she made a mistake and was afraid to tell the staff in the kitchen to prioritize our missing meal. The food we did receive was good and the menu options were good. The original order came in a timely manner and the restaurant was worth another chance but it was a frustrating experience. I give the food four stars and the service one star. Once again, if you make a mistake, just admit it and figure out how to make it right. Avoiding the reality of the situation and assuming the customer is stupid never wins. The manager there was subpar too. His interaction was probably the most disappointing.
