Caribou Club - Never misses. - American Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

We had a killer time at the Caribou Club! This place rocks and I really love it! It was like being back at St. Tropez at Les Caves du Roi. The Caribou Club opened its doors in 1990 as Aspen's first members-only club, offering fine dining, an impressive wine list, bar and nightclub. The cuisine is elegant, sophisticated yet approachable. The staff was impressive with a great and friendly sommelier who made you feel at home with old friends! They have a great focus and attention to details to ensure a classy and feutre experience. The food was absolutely fantastic with one of the best rack of lamb I ever had. Their heavy load garlic cheese bread is a local fav! The line to get in was long and you need to be invited by a member. Then magically the tables are removed and the place transformed into a magical night club where old friends can rock the casbah with a beautiful cowboy/cowgirl crowd! What a cool place! I had the best time at the Caribou! We will be back!!! read more

I was there for a cancer charity last month and ordered a Casamigos tequila and soda and was charged $60 (more than double the price of the drink) by the bartender. I called the following day, the manager was extremely hostile over the phone, I was transferee to the bartender who said he would process a refund. The refund was never processed. read more

This establishment is AMAZING in every way. We are always treated like family. The food is incredible and the service is as you would expect....perfect. It is attentive, but not overbearing. The food is always perfectly prepared and the drinks are wonderful. We are always treated like family. Louis always remembers our names and asks about our entire family by name. It is exclusive, but not stuffy. It is warm, caring, and wonderful. read more

I've been to Caribou Club many times over the years but last night was my last time. We were with 2 members and meeting a 3rd member. We waited in line for about 15-20 minutes to get in and were chatting with people we met in line. After we checked our coats in and headed downstairs, our 2 member friends went in and were looking for a place to sit. The front desk guy, pretty sure his name is Billy, asked us who we were with. We told him and he said that one person had to many guests. We mentioned the other member and he rolled his eyes and gave us an annoyed and impatient glare. He then proceeded to tell us that if we weren't members, we needed to get out. There were plenty of nice ways to say this but he chose not to and yelled at us saying that this was a private members club and if we weren't members, we needed to leave. We mentioned we were there with multiple members. He then looked at us, asked us why we were still standing there, and yelled at us to get out. My husband and I belong to numerous private members clubs around the country, including Casa Tua down the street. I can't imagine ever being treated or having my guests being spoken to like this. As we were leaving, we noticed him letting other non-members in. Curious that they were all white people. Don't want to accuse Billy of being racist but I'm Asian, my husband is Indian, our friend was black, and his wife is white. If it was a capacity issue, completely understandable that it should be members only. But as he screamed at us to leave, he kept letting other white people in. Hmmm...I rarely play the race card but this felt very off. We were appropriately dressed, didn't say anything to provoke this completely vile and unprofessional response, and left without making a scene. Caribou Club, shame on you for allowing a racist, completely unprofessional person run your door and treat guests of members in such a demeaning way. read more

We visited Caribou Club for dinner after a long day of skiing and we all absolutely loved the dishes. They have a really comfortable area to enjoy drinks and socializing. I had the evenings special which was superb paired with a merlot. read more

Caribou Club - Scallops and Fettuccine topped with truffle special - American Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

First things First.....it was snowing ,so I had on a jacket and a beanie, and the first thing you are told as you walk in the front door...welcome to caribou club...I need your coats....club policy.... you must coat-check to get in.... We proceeded to go inside as I was told "sir take your beanie off!!!!"I found that annoying and alil Standoff-ish Due to the freezing weather...... I see why people wrote bad reviews about that...... but that's where I was wrong, It's a exclusive members only club.....people pay a lot of money for the membership.... so patrons should respect club rules.......now....entering the doors really helps makes you understand.......... What a beautiful establishment, and a very wonderful staff,from the moment you walk-in , you get coat check in, and seated promptly(if you go early)the atmosphere gives you the classic rustic feel, and very classy ......... From the server, to the wine guy, very professional and knowledgeable....The recommended Russian River Pinot noir was just OK, but the pairing of the sweet wine with the foie gras was phenomenal , They have one of the biggest and best wine cellars I've ever seen, And I'm a big wine guy..(no I don't have a drinking problem, I just luv drinking ).... Onto the foods.....from the chessy garlic bread (yum) to the one bite crab salad (so good)...the foie gras was a tad too sweet, the baked scallops was great, as was the fried mixed seafood , I liked the baked oysters better, the bigeye tuna was phenomenal, as was the giant prawn, The halibut was exquisite.....the rack of lamb was delicious, but my favorite had to be the seared scallops (yummmmmm)......as for all the deserts was phenomenal and I'm not really a sweets fan, but the blood orange sorbet?!?!so yummy!!!!!!! I would go back just for that!!! Overall first time experience was phenomenal if I have a chance I would definitely be back!!!! read more

It's hard to imagine any yelper giving anything but a ***** review at Caribou club. The restaurant and service is unreal. It is Aspen's MOST exclusive club and it's not even close. I ordered the Sea bass which apparently is a new menu item. The flavor was unique and rich but ultimately amazing. What an incredible experience. Thankful for a great evening. read more

This place has it going on. One of the best martinis that I've ever had! Had to get 2 more before I left. My group and I had the filet, antelope loin, and the lamb chops. The lamb chops were my favorite, hands down. Perfectly cooked and tender. The service was outstanding, and I can't wait until the next time I get to come back! read more

Caribou Club - American Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

Decided to come here after dinner with a party of 15. First thing...wore my jacket in cause it's freezing in Dec and was greeted by the general manager, billy or whatever his name was, no coats allowed! Then I politely said that I was cold and was returned with a "if you don't like it you can go somewhere else". Power trip much? I heard him make that comment at least 10 times about various things in my one and only drink there before leaving. Horrible pretend to be upscale experience. read more

The Caribou Club is a members only club in Aspen. The vibe is perfection, the service is literally white glove & the food is phenomenal. The garlic cheese bread is what dreams are made of. The tuna crudo was so tasty. It was unlike anything we had ever tried and was presented super cute. We also ordered the halibut Bangkok and the black angus filet. Both incredible with a ton of flavor. The halibut had the perfect amount of spice. The club itself is stunning. The art is immaculate and the service is probably the best I have very experienced. It was our first time visiting and they knew exactly who we were and made us feel like we were old friends! Absolutely loved this experience and we will be back read more

Not surprised with their rate! The host is such a stupid ass Bi...!! After spending 400$ at the bar I went upstairs to grab my lil coat because it was very cold in the sitting area. When I went back in she told me I could not go in with my coat and the way she said it was with such an ugly attitude. I asked to wak in to say bye to my friends and sat with them for a min. she came after me asking me to leave in front of everybody (1am on a Tuesday night, we were the only people at the club‍‍) They were closing 5 min later.. where is your commonsense what a stupid woman to higher for such a place. After 2nd time there I thought about getting the membership for the time I come out to Aspen but that was my last visit read more

I went to the Caribou Club for a wedding. We had our own private room for dinner. The cocktail hour and dinner were really great. Excellent service, great food, I would give it 4 or 5 stars for this for sure! It got super weird around 11pm. The bride and groom had done their dances and then the dance floor filled up with a bunch of weirdos. Old rich men and way-too-young-for-said-old-guy girls. It was almost uncomfortable! The DJ played straight up techno and all these akward couples were grinding on each other. This really brought the rating down. I would never hang out here for fun. The wedding was great though! Would have been nice to have the place to ourselves a little longer before the Scenesters made an appearance. read more

If you have 20K to spare yearly, this is the club for you. This is a members only club in the heart of Aspen. I thought the amenities were really nice in this club. The bathrooms utilized cloth towels, a sign that this club intends to cater to the elite. This club felt like I was in some private moose lodge. It was dimly lit with a lounge area where people can converse and a dance floor where people dance the night away. As a warning, no caps or hats allowed inside the club which means you need to check it in at the coat check. Also, coats are also not allowed. Anyhow, for what this club is, it was pretty fun although the drinks are quite hefty, but then, this is Aspen. read more

Went there for dinner on a Friday evening. The food was subpar. Forget the cost, the food was not good, simply not worth paying for. I see why they push you to have a ton of pre-dinner drinks now. I expected more from this is "world class restaurant." Also, this is not a classy establishment. There was a table of wearing t-shirts and hats, and 3 girls doing coke in the bathroom. The only reason I am leaving 2 stars is because of their wine list. read more

Great place with cozy , cool atmosphere. The food is amazing ( the sliders are to die for) , service is great and it is a nice venue to have a private party as we had Weill certainly visit again!! read more

This place was insane... they aren't lying when they say it turns into a club at 11pm. I was so taken back. The food was pretty good - I've had much better fine dining before but this place is worth the price tag for the ambiance and experience. Don't know if I'll ever do it again, but I'm glad to have had the experience! read more

Pretend upscale. They don't have enough $ to fix their insulation - the vents blow freezing cold air all night and when asked about it, host acknowledged the problem and stated that it should get better as the place fills up. You would think that 20k would get you basic warmth in the dead of winter. Also, we were told there was a "tomahawk steak" as a special, only to find out later that it was bison tomahawk. Maybe include that detail. Hate to leave bad reviews but this place was a big miss, catering to the easily duped. read more

We were invited here by a member we had met earlier in the day and we were not disappointed. Everything from the ambiance to the food and drinks were incredible. Dinner was great, the wine was great, and the service was awesome. We stayed after dinner and hung out by the fire place. It was super cozy and very relaxed. read more

Loved the interior and ambiance! This place is great- if you don't take yourself too seriously. Our waitress was a little odd and pushy - making sure our table ordered dinner RIGHT AWAY. Other than that, I don't have any complaints! read more

This is a members only club in Aspen that features a restaurant and bar and a fabulously mountain chic atmosphere. Memberships are expensive but they do offer a week-long membership over Christmas and New Years. If you have the money to spend, it is well worth it, as this is the best place in Aspen for a pre or post dinner drink and a bit of dancing. The space is very Ralph Lauren. Dark mahogany woods, plaid pillows and scenic art make you feel cozy and warm, even when it's 5 degrees outside. Antler chandeliers and navaho furniture are all part of the draw. The dinner menu features a variety of salads, soups, and proteins from fish to local meats. Coming to the Caribou is an experience and a very special one at that! read more

Caribou Club. Yes. Fun. You need to have the right mindset to come here. What if I told you my really rich 50-year-old friend was going to get married in the middle of winter. You are invited to the reception at this weird hunting lodge, but unfortunately they didn't spring for an open bar. They know lots of famous people and you will probably see one. Would you go? Of course you would, you star-f**ker. You have to endure the fact that there are going to be some people eating, right next to other people on an awkward disco dance floor, next to a brightly lit room where everybody is constantly scanning for somebody famous. If you are black, prepare to be mobbed, because it's safe to assume that you're famous. I went, and I saw a certain famous person. Her name starts with a "p" and rhymes with harrishilton. Worth it! read more

Delicious meals, beautiful food preparations, excellent service and charming atmosphere.

First of all, this is a members' only club. i don't understand why people write hasty reviews here based on simply its exclusivity. If you're not a member, and you're not with a member, don't go! You've no reason to be there! This place is an oasis in Aspen when the place is crowded. It's for people to get out of the spotlight and have a good time. It's beautiful, the food is great, the staff is awesome, and you never know who you might run into! read more

Oh, Caribou Club. Do you have a predilection for wearing mink coats and several dozen carats of diamonds at once? Do you love small, $8 bottles of Fiji Water? Do you like making out with people several decades younger than you? Do you want to hang out with Neil Patrick Harris and Jon Voight and dance awkwardly to old Britney Spears hits? Then the Caribou Club is for you, my friend. This is a private, expensive, members-only bar/nightclub in Aspen. Considering the price of membership and the usual crowd in Aspen, the scene is definitely that of a high-roller, fancy-dressing, middle-aged crowd. Is it hard to get into, and thus exclusive? Yes. If you've never been here and happen to have a friend with membership, then by all means, go and drink and dance. It won't be your usual night out. read more

I would like to have a lifetime supply of cheese bread! It's soooooo good. I wish they had better cocktail options. We had a great time! read more

Aspen's premiere members-only Club which remains a fixture of the jet-set calendar. A fun environment combining a dining room, dance space and bar / lounge. Alongside from Annabelle's in London and Castelle's in Paris this is one of the few remaining fun places to meet and party with interesting people from around the world. If you are going to spend significant time in Aspen become or befriend a member as a matter of priority. read more

Amazing ! The best & the music is great:) Danced with a "Kennedy" the night I went . :) read more

Never a bad meal at this venerable Aspen institution. We dined late night last time and closed the place down but the service wasn't bothered as we felt quite bad but lost track of time. Decor is like a Connecticut country club meaning plush and comfy. Late night dancing is always great and the bar staff and DJ puts on a good show! read more

You haven't had a full Aspen experience unless you find yourself at the "bou" for dinner and/or the late night party scene. While the late scene may be what makes them infamous, truly, the expertly crafted menu and the wine list, with great care taken by Oliver to select the best wines from around the world, is what always catches my attention and keeps me coming back. Note: This is a member's only club, so be prepared to be turned away at the door unless you have a member-connection or purchase a membership. read more

My daughters boyfriend, Richard, asked me to sum up my experience at Caribou Club into one word, my response to him is: PRIMETIME (the regularly occurring time at which a television or radio audience is expected to be greatest, typically the hours between 8 and 11 p.m.). The whole experience was elite, 5-star, concierge, white glove service. It all started when I first walked in, you smell the burning of a wonderful candle that captures the smell of both barbecue and wood burning. You know what they say, scent is your strongest senses. Scientologists, psychologists and my four children's pediatrician all say that smells will bring back memories. This smell did just that to me. It brought me back to when I was in Boy Scouts. I was on a trip where all the boys and I were in Fairbanks, Alaska for a camping trip (minimum average temp -16.9). My dad, who at the time was an Eagle Scout and boy let me tell you he wore that badge with so much beautiful pride. The boys and I were so cold one evening and my friend, Anthony, had a great idea of lighting a fire with some extra toilet paper he had. My dad thought it was such a great idea this little fellow had and decided to cook us some baby back ribs under the stars. I had the rack of lamb and boy did that sense of taste bring me back to my ol granddaddy's farm where he would raise, kill and marinate lamb. My suggestion is to pair this rack back to a refreshing chocolate martini and you're in for the real treat. read more

I have been to the Caribou Club three times over the last 10 years. I met the owner, Harley Baldwin....many years ago and was even invited to his private residence upstairs for cocktails. He made the Caribou Club a classy place. Sadly, it is no longer the place Harley envisioned since he passed away. I received an invitation to the Club from a member on January 20th and entered the club. The dooman had no record of my name on the list, and suggested I leave !! A few minutes later, another guest of the same member arrived, and the list of invitees was found in the reservations book, and I was rescued and admitted. The host took me to the member's dining table, and told me that I "must" check my coat. I decided that I may come after their dinner, back to the club and have drinks with my friends. While we were deciding, the host rudely demanded I check my coat. I told him, we were deciding whether to stay or not..and he interupted me and told me "Check your coat...it's the club policy, or GET OUT!" I was very embarassed and appalled by the rude treatment, we weren't even seated yet. I decided to check my coat and THEN decide on whether I wanted to stay, or not. While checking my coat, a lady entered the club and told the same host, "I'm just going to look for my friends, first". He abrubtly told her, "Check your coat first!" and she replied, "Are you serious? I just want to see if my friends are here, first!", to which he retorted, "DOES IT LOOK LIKE I AM JOKING?!!" He was of some foreign descent...possibly Spanish? But nevertheless....VERY rude and completely unprofessional. Later in the lounge, we were having drinks and some 20 something year old ladies were scantilly dressed and started doing lap dances on the men at their table, and were very loud and drunk and acting obnoxious. My friend noted that the host was overly concerned with checking coats (perhaps a form of club income?) but had no care on how guests acted in the "private" and supposedly exclisive club. Harley would be rolling over in his grave..!! Sad to say, the Caribou Club is no longer what it used to be, and I have no desire to return. I was treated much better the following nights by the fireplace lounge at La Montagna in the Little Nell, by their staff. read more

After reading all of the reviews posted, prior to going, most of the reviews talked more about the quality of patrons that frequent the club or the poor service or being treated rudely by staff. I thought these reviews were just from unfairly discontent reviewers and vowed to go in with an open mind about the experience. The hotel arranged for us to dine as potential members. Our initial impression of the staff was excellent. Not at all what I was expecting from the reviews. Neat laid back atmosphere. The hostess greeted us and offered us several options for waiting for the 2 remaining guests to arrive. We opted to wait in their expansive/relaxed cocktail lounge, that really seemed more like an old friend's living room. The cocktail server was a bit busy, but when she made it over to us in about 5 - 10 minutes, was very nice and attentive. Brought cocktails quickly. Checked backed with us frequently. When our late guests arrived she immediately came over and got their orders. The food was excellent. 5 stars. All of it, at least the apps and entrees. The service by wait staff however was aweful. Thus the overall 2 star rating. Had to argue with the waiter about the fact that he hadn't taken my wife's entire order. Multiple times during the meal it felt as though we had been forgotten. We literally had to get up from the table and walk across the restaurant to get our waiter to take our dessert orders. It was then another 30 minutes for desserts to arrive (again we had to flag down our waiter to inquire about the desserts). They told us the dessert chef was backed up then, suprise the desserts all came up a moment later. Again they had forgotten our desserts that were just sitting at the servers station getting stale. The desserts were just ok. This club is a members only club with a hefty lifetime membership fee. However based on the wait staff's performance, we would not have joined even if they paid us. At 10:00PM, the bar turned into a night club, which was lively and vibrant, but we were so put off by the experience, couldn't wait to get out of there, even though our original plan was to stay to experience the club. read more

Although this is a private club, if you are staying at Hotel Jerome, Little Nell or the St Regis ask your concierge as they can sometimes get you in as a guest. The food here has always been excellent, especially the Colorado Rack of Lamb. I always plan at least one dinner here. read more
