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.

The crispy chicken sandwich is honestly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Perfectly crispy, juicy, and balanced with just the right amount of heat. The kale salad and fries were also excellent, and everything came out quickly despite how busy the place was. The service was upbeat and welcoming, and the whole experience felt effortless. If you want a fun, laid-back lunch or dinner in Aspen without sacrificing quality, this is absolutely the place.

The service was wonderful, we got our food very quickly, and the ambiance was adorable. A little loud but nothing too crazy. The food itself was fine. We ordered the duo dip, French fries, the French dip, and the chicken sandwich. The guac and the other dip were really good and we loved the chips too. The fries are pretty much what you'd expect, except once they got to room temperature they became super hard and not very edible. My husband said the French dip meat was good and tender, pretty good flavor overall. I had the chicken sandwich which was huge! They split the sandwich into three wedges and I could only finish two. I liked the texture of the chicken was nice and I liked the slaw on it, however, the flavor overall was kind of lacking. I would say it was a bit overhyped. Overall, it was a nice experience for a decent price and I'm glad we went. Would we go back? Probably.

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 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.
