If your goal is an energetic night out with friends and perhaps the possibility of spotting a…read morecelebrity or two, the venue succeeds well enough as a social scene. Like many Aspen nightlife destinations, however, the experience improves considerably after a drink or two elsewhere first. The atmosphere has potential, but the space itself feels oddly underutilized, lacking the intentional flow and layered ambiance that define truly memorable bars. Cocktails are priced ambitiously even by Aspen standards, occasionally crossing the line to difficult to justify. Still, despite its shortcomings, it manages to deliver what most people ultimately come for: a lively crowd, an attractive room, and an undeniably good time if expectations are kept in the right place.

I'm usually a smashed burger guy, but every now and then a regular one blows me away, and this one did. It's the only burger outside Denver on my top burger list. The whiskey onions added an extra layer of flavor, the sharp American cheese is the best cheese on a burger (I will not be convinced otherwise), and the potato bun was soft and pillowy. The deviled eggs were perfect, and I am just a deviled egg guy. Last Thanksgiving I made 150 deviled eggs for a party of 5, so I do not say that lightly. The Pretzel Hot Pocket was fine, just not my favorite. Their cocktails were fantastic, and I loved the No, It's a Cardigan and the Alexander Hamilton. The tea service was my favorite, a cocktail for two that came on a tea carafe. It was like tea service but actually fun because it had whiskey. The room feels like a cozy lodge, which fits the name, and I wanted to spend hours and hours there. Everyone was so nice. Best for whiskey fans, burger people, and anyone who wants a cozy spot in Aspen. It has to be a mandatory stop when you're in town, and I cannot wait to go back.

I came with my flight crew (just a couple of pilots in addition) and we just sat at the bar. I had the kale rotisserie chicken salad. The peanut dressing does have soy sauce so it is not gluten free, so they brought me a champagne vinaigrette instead. It was delicious. I got this during the cyclospora outbreak, because I'm a wild person now lol but they assured me they only get quality ingredients and super clean all veggies and fruit coming in. My pilots got the meatballs, creamed corn, and deviled eggs and they LOVED them.

It has nice decor but its noisy as well and EXPENSIVE. $25 for a burger and $32 for a French Dip sandwich WITH NO SIDES? $7 more for a side of boring fries?!

The QUALITY of the food was quite high and everything tasted fresh (except the boring fries). If you are a wealthy aspen socialite then maybe this place is for you...but if you are an average traveler....There has to be cheaper for similar quality. Maybe it's an Aspen thing...

The food was terrible, expensive and the staff seemed like doing their job was annoying to them. The gazpacho was so acidic I couldn't eat it. The baby lettuces that were supposed to have stone fruit, had a few pieces of fruit that looked like it came from a can. The rest of the ingredients were non existent and the chicken I added was a dry, tiny piece that was grilled, no flavor at all. My husbands pizza also looked terrible, I've seen better things come from a box. Our lunch cost is $100, we are always good tippers, we left 5%. If we weren't tired and hungry after a hike, we would have walked out to find better food.

First off, we were met with a cold waitress. It seemed like it was such a chore to take our orders. I asked for a side of ranch for our pizza and she came back with the tiniest sauce container with less than a tablespoon of ranch in it, which I originally thought was fine because I could just ask for more, which I did end up doing. Then, every time my boyfriend's soda was low she would take it and refill it, not specifying that it would cost us for a refill. Then we get our check and I see 2 charges for ranch $2 each and 2 charges for soda $6 each. She never specified that the ranch nor the soda refills would be extra especially since the ranch portion was smaller than a shot glass. Some places charge for ranch which is fine, but they give you enough ranch to justify a charge. Then on top of that there was a 22% gratuity fee already added because we were a group larger than 6. AND on top of that there was a 5% employee wellness fee. Both explain why the waitress didn't need to care about doing a good job because she was already guaranteed a 27% tip. Keep in mind this was all noticed after we got the receipt emailed and had already paid because on the software they use for paying, it didn't show us an itemized receipt. And of course, we could have waived the employee wellness fee but we didn't know that it existed or that we could've waived it until after we paid. Just pay your employees more or up the prices of your menu items to include the "wellness" fee.
