Ajax Tavern•Downtown

American•$$

Say “apres-ski,” and most people picture something strikingly similar to Ajax Tavern – glamorous yet relaxing at the base of the slopes. Ajax Tavern’s sun-soaked, mountainside patio, next to the Silver Queen Gondola is the restaurant in Aspen for casual fine dining in an unbeatable atmosphere. The Tavern comes to life at lunch, and the party rolls on well into the night. If you go no further on the menu, try the truffle fries and Ajax wagyu double cheeseburger – they have earned their reputation.
