Aspen Nightlife & Bars, Snowmass Village

FROM LAST CALL TO FIRST TRACKS

Or is it “from first tracks to last call?” It depends on the day, but one thing’s for sure: Aspen and Snowmass Village offer ample opportunity for you to amp up (or unwind) after the slopes close. Here you’ll find the kinds of clubs, bars, lounges and live music acts you might expect in a top-tier city.

Nightlife Hot Spots

Ajax Tavern

Aspen

Located at the base of Aspen Mountain at The Little Nell, Ajax Tavern is where slope-time eases into happy hour (and then late nights) everyday. Famous for their truffle fries and excellent wine list.

Belly Up Aspen

Aspen

Internationally known live-music club that regularly brings big names to our small town. From bluegrass to blues, hip hop to alternative, the Belly Up’s ability to bring in talented acts is second to none.

Limelight Lounge

Aspen

It’s not often that the lounge at a ski-town hotel can become a local’s favorite, too, but that’s what makes the Limelight Lounge so special. Partner up a glass of wine or pint of beer with a wood-fired pizza.

Chair 9

Aspen

As if The Little Nell hadn’t done enough to burnish Aspen’s après ski reputation with the Ajax Tavern, it also offers Chair 9, a great spot for unwinding and enjoying live music well into the night. Open only during the ski season.

WET Deck

Aspen

This après ski spot at the new W Hotel Aspen promises to be the next hot thing in town. Unique cocktails, great views and a heated pool and hot tub.

Nest Public House

Snowmass Village

Popular pub for ale and stout lovers at the Viceroy Snowmass in Snowmass Village. Great pub grub as well.

Escobar

Aspen

Among Aspen’s most lively and hippest nightclubs, with table service, dancing, well drinks and more.

The J-Bar

Aspen

Classic Western saloon ambiance meets modern-day Aspen sophistication at this popular bar in the Hotel Jerome.
