I love the variety of craft cocktails, especially the "Virgin and a Pornstar". A must-try! The rose drink and whisky drinks were also delicious.

If your goal is an energetic night out with friends and perhaps the possibility of spotting a…read morecelebrity or two, the venue succeeds well enough as a social scene. Like many Aspen nightlife destinations, however, the experience improves considerably after a drink or two elsewhere first. The atmosphere has potential, but the space itself feels oddly underutilized, lacking the intentional flow and layered ambiance that define truly memorable bars. Cocktails are priced ambitiously even by Aspen standards, occasionally crossing the line to difficult to justify. Still, despite its shortcomings, it manages to deliver what most people ultimately come for: a lively crowd, an attractive room, and an undeniably good time if expectations are kept in the right place.

We had a late dinner here plus tried some whiskeys. The entire experience was excellent! We had the…read morefingerling potatoes, garden grazing board, and the deviled eggs. The garden grazing board was delicious, as were the potatoes. The deviled eggs were good, though the flavors were a little funky for me. The service was superb. Antonia was our server, and she was so knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly! The ambience is lovely. Dimly lit, but lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Great restaurants bathrooms inside and street parking…read more Servers were very attentive and it gets busy so if you want a table i would consider making reservations. I came with my flight crew (just a couple of pilots in addition) and we just sat at the bar. I had the kale rotisserie chicken salad. The peanut dressing does have soy sauce so it is not gluten free, so they brought me a champagne vinaigrette instead. It was delicious. I got this during the cyclospora outbreak, because I'm a wild person now lol but they assured me they only get quality ingredients and super clean all veggies and fruit coming in. My pilots got the meatballs, creamed corn, and deviled eggs and they LOVED them.

I liked the open bar and open kitchen style. While it does require a wait because they don't take…read morereservations, you can always call ahead to see how long their wait time is. They are pet friendly and have outdoor seating! Servers were very friendly although the serving can take a bit longer, depending on how busy they are. The French Dip came with lots of prime rib and a cup of Au jus, with horseradish to cut down on the heaviness. Crispy chicken sandwich was my favorite! It came sliced in three so the portion was massive. The chicken had more of a Japanese katsu style breading on it so it was super crispy. The burger was also a solid choice. Great bun to filling ratio and the spicy slaw was a complemented the burger well. The fries were pricey and I didn't realize that they weren't a side but an appetizer, but these fries were super crispy and delicious. You could tell that they were fried freshly on the spot. The creamy sauce it came with paired well with them! Deviled eggs were savory and had a kick from the pickle relish. This was my first time eating creamed corn and I liked it! It was warm and creamy, with a slight kick from the jalapeño slices.

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.
