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.

The garden grazing board was delicious, as were the potatoes. The deviled eggs were good, though the flavors were a little funky for me. The service was superb.

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.

They are pet friendly and have outdoor seating! Servers were very friendly although the serving can take a bit longer, depending on how busy they are. The French Dip came with lots of prime rib and a cup of Au jus, with horseradish to cut down on the heaviness. Crispy chicken sandwich was my favorite! It came sliced in three so the portion was massive. The chicken had more of a Japanese katsu style breading on it so it was super crispy. The burger was also a solid choice. Great bun to filling ratio and the spicy slaw was a complemented the burger well. The fries were pricey and I didn't realize that they weren't a side but an appetizer, but these fries were super crispy and delicious. You could tell that they were fried freshly on the spot. The creamy sauce it came with paired well with them! Deviled eggs were savory and had a kick from the pickle relish. This was my first time eating creamed corn and I liked it! It was warm and creamy, with a slight kick from the jalapeño slices.

The Hotel Jerome is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in Aspen. There are two bars, but…read morewe chose the one at the back of the hotel. We ordered THREE drinks at the bar, and as a table opened, carried them to the table while the bar tender transferred our bill over so we could pay the waitress at the end. We ordered only 2 more drinks from the waitress and then asked for the bill. THIS is when she told us gratuity was already added in the bill, as she handed it to us. Was that because we were at a table? Why did nobody tell us that before? TWENTY-TWO percent automatic gratuity for getting us 2 drinks. $200 for 2 glasses of wine and 3 cocktails. So, my dear friends, check the drink prices and ask if gratuity is added BEFORE you order. And if $36 is steep for a drink; then just take pictures, use the restroom and then go to another bar. Trust me, the cocktails WERE NOT WORTH $36 + $8 tip + $4 tax = FOURTY-EIGHT dollars each!

I came to this place with my family on a Saturday night. You would think they would be open for…read moretaking you in and serve you dinner. I called them at 8:30 and they said kitchen is open till 9pm which was fair. We got there at 8:50pm and the hostess looked over to someone who looked like the shift manager and she said "sorry the kitchen is closed". I did not feel like arguing so we just decided to have some pizzas and drinks. That was a big mistake. I ordered what looked like a calzone (pizza that is wrapped) and it was the saltiest dish I've tried. Again we were trying to be mindful and too nice but I think we just went too far for being too nice. I then ordered the other pizza and it was honestly quite mediocre. The waiter was really nice and that's why I'm giving it 1 star otherwise it would be zero for us. They weren't even willing to provide salad. Come on! You can't even make salad in your kitchen? That was just ridiculous. And believe it or not, we had amazing food in every other restaurant we tried in Aspen so this was certainly a one off. My suggestion to the management team is to be honest about your the last call from your kitchen. If you close at 10pm and your kitchen runs till 9pm, you ought to be able to take orders till 9pm. Otherwise, be upfront and shot down kitchen at 8:30pm. Quite disappointed and not even sure if I would ever want to give this place a try.
