Enjoyed dinner at the J-Bar before heading out to listen to live music. Service was fast and the food came out fresh! My salmon had a nice crispy bite and veggies were delicious. Our server was great with recommendations! Will be returning soon on my next trip to Aspen. read more

We'll - it's true! What a great bar and food - fun and brilliant bartenders too! We were looking for "Aspen's Best Hamburger" - I'm sure there are other good ones, but ones been rated #1, and we agree! Beautifully served and delicious - get the fries too! We also had a tasty Caesar Salad snd Lsmb Meatballs w sauce, dates, and figs - yum! Our bartender, Ben was a total pro - made us a few "off the menu" creating drinks - raspberry rum and coffee? - sounds crazy - but was great and he's got sone super-powers for creative drinks. Great good - drinks - people - a d as always, elegant Cowboys and Cowgirls Jerome historic fun! read more

We arrived around 4pm and it was very busy and loud. Our server was very friendly and checked on us often. In total we had 4 drinks, the burger, and the oysters. Drinks were fantastic. Oysters were great. The burger was pretty underwhelming, especially since so many people hyped it up beforehand. When I initially ordered the burger I asked for the sauce on the side. Our server asked if I wanted to add bacon or grilled onions and I declined. Once it arrived, the sauce was not on the side and there were onions melted into the cheese so I had to scrape it all off. I'm used to deconstructing my burgers so I didn't really care enough to mention it to the server. The check arrived and I noticed we were charged $5 for the onions that I never asked for and didn't eat. The server was super nice, apologized and quickly removed the charge from the bill. Overall I would come here again, but maybe earlier in the day when it's not so busy. I'm bummed the burger that so many people told me to get didn't live up to the hype, but it happens! read more

Eat lunch and stop to smell the flowers at The Garden at J Bar, located at 330 E Main St, a restaurant of Hotel Jerome. When seated on the open-aired patio, you can enjoy one of the best, unobstructed views of Aspen Mountain. This swanky outdoor restaurant is beautiful. Gorgeous, large flowers fill and spill over onto the walkways in the Summertime. Whoever is the gardener for Hotel Jerome is incredibly talented! Every flower seems to be happy and healthy, no matter the size or type. We stumbled upon The Garden after shopping on main street. Highly, highly recommend the Farmer's Garden Salad with salmon, which was one of the best salads I have ever had. It is light and fresh with a ginger-lime vinaigrette that quite literally is to die for. The cheeseburger also did not disappoint. The Garden is great for people watching. Put your sunglasses on, sit under a cool umbrella and this place will make you feel like royalty.

Food is solid. The Unbelievable ripoff is a built in 22% tip for a party of two along with an up charge of $4.00 per mule for an additional $16.00 for well vodka Aspen needs to get it together! We are not poor nor stupid!! Speak up people and vote with your feet! read more

To be honest I wasn't that impressed with the "famous "burger that they have. It was juicy but it was missing some thing luckily they were able to bring out mustard and different toppings for the burger. The old fashion was basic nothing special. The blue cheese stuffed dates were probably the best thing on the menu. I don't know if it was because it's obvious I'm not from there but our waiter Jessica seem to be in a hurry I just wasn't as friendly as you would think you would be to your customers. read more

Wonderful patio area to eat lunch on glorious days in Aspen!!! The chicken drum sticks/blue cheese appetizer was very good. The hummus and edamame were what you'd expect and nothing special. The ahi tuna tacos (with pesto/wasabi) were very good. And the j-bar burger was excellent (fries tasted like McDonalds--in a good way). Mixed drinks were mediocre. Stick with beer or wine. Expensive but it's Aspen. The weather made up for it. So if it's beautiful outside and you can get a seat and you don't mind over paying for the food, go here and take your time and enjoy a burger and beer. Heard they charge $6 to split the burger so don't tell them you're doing that. read more

Stopped in around lunchtime to check out this historic bar. Very friendly and engaging staff. We ordered a couple of very good Bloody Mary's and chatted with our bartender. Then we got the check, and I know this is Aspen, but the prices are a little crazy. Our two Bloody Mary's came to $56, including the 22% automatic gratuity. Originally considered having lunch here, but one chicken caesar salad would've been $50 including tip. read more

Great drinks. Good service. A nice bar. Mandatory tip for 2 people was tacky. Like - you are in Aspen- tip but mandatory is weird.

Great Bar and Service. Our wait person was very patient, knowledgeable and most accommodating. Prices were Aspenish. Ava our server on the patio is cute, great personality and very knowledgeable. read more

I just had a burger at J-Bar. I'd had drinks there before and really enjoyed the place. Everyone was friendly so I didn't mind the surprise automatic 22 % gratuity. But Today: I'm curious what that gratuity is for when your medium rare burger comes out Medium well, when after having eaten 2/3 of it, the bearded and deeply indifferent bar tender ask how the burger is and you tell him it's over cooked and all he can say is "it's overcooked?" And nothing else. ?? The fries were so salty I had to scrape the excess off. That bartender was cold from the moment I walked in. Maybe it's because Im not a local. Maybe Im not white enough, but he clearly didn't want me there. read more

Wow. The J Bar at Hotel Jerome is unreal. It has a cozy aspen feel. Everything in the bar is unique/restored. The set up is well for social distancing. The beer menu is limited but it's worth going to for the scene. read more

Overpriced (even for Aspen) and the clientele is obnoxious as hell (and I live in Telluride, so, uh, that's saying something). Three stars because the people watching is off the hook good if you're in the mood to soak in the craziness. read more

Delicious sliced rib eye sandwich. Outdoor seating was great. We would go back next time we're in Aspen.

Great drinks and charcuterie! Friendly staff with great vibe! The burger is amazing!!!

Buyer beware, #1604 on the wine list is incorrectly misrepresented, which one could infer that the other bottles of wine on the list aren't as advertised. We were given a wine of lesser value (different producer, vintage, etc.), which we mistakenly accepted amid the chaotic environment. When we brought this to the waitress' attention, we were given zero compensation and begrudgingly paid for the more expensive bottle of wine (that we never got!) Extremely disappointing experience and will not be returning... don't waste your time here, there are much better restaurants in Aspen elsewhere. read more

This place gets 5 stars because they accommodate your needs, they are polite, they have fresh food. I would come back again & again!! Thr food & chef are GREAT!. The service is OUTSTANDING! This place has it right, it's organized, super friendly & they welcome you in unlike some Aspen places which make you feel they are doing you a favor by seating you! The outside patio is splendid as are the extras not on the menu.... just ask? You will be surprised what the chef says YES too!! read more

If you're in ASPEN, this is must see, drink and eat venue! Staying the night is just gravy.

We sat at the bar, ordered 2 drinks and they added 22% gratuity to our bill. I found that cheesy. The cocktail options were also not that diverse or unique. I wouldn't go out of my way to drink here again read more

Ordered the burger and spinach dip. Both really good. The burger was very tasty. We also ordered the donuts which were soooo good. Definitely a must try. Had a great espresso martini as well. 4 stars because the atmosphere could be a little more lively.. small menu and pretty pricey but overall recommend to stop by! read more

Extremely attentive and friendly servers, really cozy atmosphere by the bar area in the restaurant, and great food!

We had a nice chill dinner here. The food was very good, we didn't have a reservation so we just sat at the bar. It was good.

Let's face it, if you're stopping in at Hotel Jerome you're either a baller or a huge "Dumb and Dumber" fan. Maybe both. And it is a gorgeous hotel, even if I can't afford the $400-500/night accommodations. But you know what I can afford? A drink at J-Bar, totally out of the wild west and much more my speed. But don't let the cowboy vibes confuse you, it's still very much a fancy pants kind of place. A signature Auberge margarita will set you back about $18. It was good and I did appreciate the complimentary popcorn at the bar. Nice touch. While at the bar, my husband and I got an earful from the guys sitting next to us. They live in town and were gossiping about people we didn't know, but it was fun to imagine what they might be like IRL. Also, the bartender gave us a history lesson on the bar itself, the inspiration the wood and when it was built. That was the highlight of my J-Bar experience. Definitely worth a drop-by for a cocktail and take a step back in history. But don't let J-Bar fool you, this is still Aspen. read more

Always a great spot. Lots of ambiance based on the history here. Food is good, service is great, drinks are awesome

Go for the burger, and no other entree, and you will be really content. The burger is extremely pricey, but it's worth it. The meat is phenomenal, bun is crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and the flavors are all there. Comes with fries which are good too. The patio outside is large and pretty. If you're craving a burger in Aspen, this is the place you have to go, it's famous. read more

I mean it's a bar in a very fancy hotel in Aspen. I think my expectations were set a little higher from all the fuss about the Hotel Jerome, but it's really just a bar. The place was SLAMMED, luckily we managed to find a table in the bar to grab a drink. The drinks were okay, super overpriced but it is the J-Bar so that seems about right. I enjoyed walking through the hotel lobby, it's really gorgeous! read more

Iconic western bar with Victorian vibe. Fun place to watch some football on a cold night.

$32 burgers x2 $9 beer and a $16 glass of wine Bill came to $103 Oh yes they thought it was ok to add a 22% tip for a party of 2 I would have tipped anyway and Ted was great But the nerve to just decide adding a tip was ok is not ok The burgers not worth it at all read more

J Bar saved us after a late arrival into the Aspen Airport. They serve food until 10:30pm which was clutch after learning the St Regis stops serving at 10 and we landed at 9:55pm. Loved the chicken noodle soup, meatballs and French fries. The perfect gourmet bar food stop! read more

For two cocktails it was $88, and the waiter added 22% service charge on his own and never once circled back around to re fill our water. Very disappointed read more

Came in alone for one beverage, and cashed out to be surprised with an auto gratuity. It felt very disrespectful to think the bartender didn't know I knew how to tip. read more

I came for football on Sunday and was not disappointed! They have 7-8 TVs, and you get to call the game on the tv if it's not called already. Staff is super accommodating. Prices are crazy high, but that's everywhere in Aspen! read more

We came to Aspen from a 3 day camping trip and wanted something filling and the burger here sounded great! It was a massive burger that really hit the spot because we were starving. We also ordered the edamame and chicken lollipops. Edamame was really good and spicy. Chicken lollipops were juicy and flavorful, but not as satisfying as the burger. Finally, maybe it was because we came right around shift change, but the service was a bit off. Felt like I had to wave our waiter down to put in our orders read more

J-Bar was our first stop in Aspen. The atmosphere great...a step back into time. The bartender was engaging and took great care of us. One star off for lack of vegan options. I was starving after flying all day from DC and my only options were a veggie salad or a beyond burger. I ordered the burger as I knew the veggie salad wouldn't be enough. I prefer a true veggie burger...not fake meat like beyond. I am sure I am not the other guest wanting more plant based options. read more

Lovely patio and service for a summer lunch. But the food was NOT GOOD. The menu had a number of odd dishes. And the tuna tostada I ordered was nothing more than 5 tortilla chips with a slab of fish and sesame on top. For $27!. Not an entree at all! Expected so much more from this upscale property. read more
