Aspen
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Aspen, Colorado
Aspen's nightlife is built around apres-ski, the ritual of trading ski boots for cocktails the moment the lifts close, and BarFinder's 43 listings lean toward lounges and cocktail bars befitting that reputation. The town's history runs deep here too: the Hotel Jerome's J-Bar, a onetime Hunter S. Thompson haunt, still pours Aspen's famous Aspen Crud, while the Red Onion has been open for more than 125 years. Newer spots like Westy's Tap & Tavern and Aspen Brewing Company round out a scene that spans old-school saloon to ski-town glitz.
