Great local hole in the wall tavern. There is quick local service with the waiter walking around. Plenty of seating and quick turnover. Large menu but varied and you could find something for everyone. Small beer menu and not much on tap. Prices are very reasonable for Aspen. 1. Wings - Large in size and flavorful. Not as crunchy as I'd like. 2. Flautas - Cut in half. Very good and filled with delicious chicken. Overall, a great spot to watch sports, get a beer or get some pub food. read more

Fantastic little bar in Aspen with delicious food and good beer at an amazing price especially for Aspen. They have burgers, good selection of sandwiches (Philly cheesesteak), salads, fish n chips and wings with a nice assortment of flavors. I ordered wings and fries. Large basket of fries (a bit too salty but good) were good and the wings were 8.5/10. $17 for 12 wings in Aspen was great I thought. They also Guinness and it was poured properly and very tasty. The inside is cozy and very clean. I was there around 3pm on a Monday and easily got a seat. The 2 girls working were so so nice and very good servers - 10/10 service. They don't do too many mixed drinks and not a ton of beer selection but for a good beer and great food at a phenomenal price with A+ service definitely check it out! read more

Used to be good. Got really bad food poisoning twice but we returned and only ordered food that gets bombed like the wings. The problem is that there are new staff and one waitress in particular had an attitude, a really bad attitude. The girls from back in the day are awesome. I wish they were still working more shifts. This waitress really brings the place down. I do not recommend Zane's anymore. For a dive bar the charm is as the people and the staff. Recent changes have made this place crap. Owner. Get rid of the brunette. I am sure you are hearing this a lot. Lots of people in town are complaining about this. We don't go to Zane's anymore and I suggest you don't go. It's a shame but the place is crap now. Bring back the cool waitresses, one was from NJ. Do not go to Zane's. It's crap now. Such a shame how staff can bring down what once was a cool place. read more

Sad, just sad. Trent B., the waiter (who apparently was also the manager), was incredibly rude from the moment we walked in. My colleagues and I were visiting Aspen for a conference with the Aspen Institute and decided to stop by this restaurant. Unfortunately, our experience was ruined by Trent's unprofessional and nasty behavior. He became visibly upset about our tipping rate and, in a loud tone, said that we "sucked." When I calmly told him that gratitude goes a long way and that his comment was uncalled for, he began yelling at us, calling us "nerds" and demanding that we leave the property. Beyond those comments, he continued making rude and discriminatory remarks, saying that we acted like we "owned the place" and that we "weren't from here" and should "go back to where we came from." Considering the heavy history of Aspen, Colorado, for a white man to say those comments is deeply xenophobic. This was incredibly disappointing, especially since the Aspen Institute brings people from across the country, providing local businesses with customers and visibility during the off-season. We did not expect this level of disrespect from an Aspen establishment, especially when every other business we visited was warm, welcoming, and professional. Lastly, the food was good, but unfortunately, the service was the complete opposite. read more

Stopped by for lunch while visiting Aspen and stumbled across this place. Wanted something casual and chill and this met that standard. Here are my takeaways Environment This is a casual, divey type sports bar located underground right in the heart of downtown Aspen. Seems like a ordinary local bar with a lot of regular customers. It's straight to the point and not much to it. Service My service was okay. The bartender helped me most of the time and was pretty attentive and friendly. However a server did come in and seemed to replace his role but decided not to serve me while serving every single other person in the small bar. She would literally walk right by me without checking on me. I didn't want to jump to conclusions but I was the only person of color in the bar and it was a bit odd that she checked on every single person in the bar except for me. Eventually the bartender came back around and i was able to get my bill and leave but I'm not sure what would have happened if he didn't come back around. Food and Drinks I had a simple burger and tater tots. No thrills but they got the job done and this food is a lot cheaper than most things you can get in Aspen. So if you're looking for something a little bit cheaper but pretty good this is your place. Overall This place has potential to be a great casual low key and down to earth place but I do have concerned that they can be some racial bias when it comes to service. This is the reason I give it two stars. It made me pretty uncomfortable and took away from the experience. The food was fine and very casual and good for the cheaper side of Aspen which is difficult to find. read more

The fish tacos were really good. We also had the wings. Reasonably priced and great service. Would have loved a T-shirt!

The bartender was rude, the drinks were expensive, there was a server who yelled at us in a very mean way. I would not recommend this place to anyone ever. They told us to stand at the bar to order a drink, and then yelled at us for standing at the bar to order a drink. Did I mention the drinks were expensive? read more

This review is based solely on the food and not the service as we ordered pickup and did not dine in. The nacho chips are overcooked and dry with absolutely no seasoning. The cheese was good, but the rest of toppings tasted like they came out of a can and were not fresh at all. My boyfriend ordered the burger and fries. He liked the burger but the fries are dry and tasteless. I hope the owner spends more time making better food instead of responding to these reviews. read more

I was staying in Aspen a night and didn't want anything gourmet with a hefty price tag so I popped into Zane's to watch the MLB playoffs over a bite. It's a little bit hard to spot off the street as it's down some steps. I was able to get a spot on the street right in front on a Tuesday night and snagged an open seat at the bar right away. It was pretty full during the dinner rush. There's a small bar with 8 or so seats, and some other 2-4 top tables. It's an odd space and feels a bit cramped inside. Kind of hard to see the TV's from the bar and certain tables. Definitely an Eagles bar from the decor, and the cheesesteaks were a hot seller. Bartender confirmed the fish and chips were good so I went with those. The batter was nice, not too heavy, but neither the batter nor the fish really had any flavor, so it tasted like fried air coated in tartar sauce. Decent portion of fries which were so-so. I got a couple overpriced Bud Light bottles as well. The bartenders were busy so service was spotty and not overly friendly. You could probably do worse, but not a place I'd be eager to come back to unless I was from Philly. read more

The service is very unprofessional here. Go spend 3 more dollars at public house you'll get better service and food in Aspen.

Yay! So happy to have found affordable dinner in a fun atmosphere in Aspen. Reasonably priced beer, good seating, and food came fast. Between two nights and a big group, we tried a lot of the menu and everyone was satisfied with everything! Highly recommend the appetizers- wings, mozz sticks, and Philly egg rolls were SO good. The girl wearing pearls was an awesome waitress. Only thing I would change is to have a shot and a beer deal. read more

I think I've gotten poisoned at least twice since I've gone and ate there the food is never any good to eat. The tacos weren't too bad but the salsa sucks. Burger absolutely sucks. All full of water taste like a wet dog. Philly cheesesteak has no flavor also and also made me sick. Service is always horrible. and the weirdest part is I have no idea who these people are for them to be poisoning me! I've pacifically gotten sick every time I've eaten there I eat at other places and I'm fine! Basalt location! read more

Some of the best wings I've ever had. 10/10 Buffalo and Asian chili flavors were amazing

The only late night spot in town for great bar food. Popular spot for watching games. Known for their Caesar wraps and Philly cheesesteaks. read more

People are loud, smoking and vaping while cooking our food. The waitress was incredibly rude and passive aggressive about tipping. I'm not made of money, and I'm not leaving more than 15% on tacos. Such a poor experience I would actively suggest people to stay away from this establishment and the poor behavior. read more

Great sports bar/ dive bar. Only place like it in Aspen. It's awesome- don't listen to low reviews

Super laid back, somewhat dive-y. Great for when you're looking for a bit of an escape from the rest of Aspen. Service is great, employees are very kind and on it. Food is pretty good. read more

Now This place has it going on I did take out for the first time at this place and we got a cheesesteak and a bacon Swiss cheese burger. Hands-down one of the best burgers and cheesesteaks ever. Keep up the good work I'm coming back next time I'm in Aspen. Also really nice inside nice atmosphere great bar next time I think I might try eating inside read more

First time in aspen and we wanted to grab something to eat before starting the night out. To our surprise we spent almost the entire night here having drinks and chatting up some locals. I had steak tacos and they were loaded with meat. Delicious. Service is great. Staff was very helpful and prices are fair. Highly recommend Zane's to anyone in the area. read more

Dive bar with amazing food, tried out the tacos here and was not disappointed. Will definitely come back here when I'm back in Aspen during the winter season. I can already taste the tacos after snowboarding all day! read more

I am not sure whether to be happy or sad on the mixed reviews. I am not local to Aspen but was generally not in the mood for all the posh restaurants and snotty attitudes one must endue. This was my first visit to Aspen, I have stayed away for the 20+ years I have been skiing because I was concerned it may have too much attitude. It was far better, more beautiful and worth the trip. Sure there are fancy stores, fancy people and a good amount of attitude but the good news is most of these people are not skiing and I have no interest of going where they do. Cut to Zane's Tavern. The good is great, the atmosphere is perfect, unless you are looking for a fancy meal, which I am not, the service was the best. Our waitress rocked that place. She served the entire room, by herself and did a cranking job. I am happy for the mixed reviews because I do not want word to get out. Sad because this place is perfect and they deserve better reviews. Stick to what a place like this would do well, pub food and do yourself a favor, if you are thinking why am I trying a Philly cheesesteak in Aspen, think again, they do a great job, someone there is from Philly, and other than Philly, this is one of the best cheesesteaks I have had. Enjoy and be sure to tip very well, if you are in Aspen, you can afford to. read more

This is basically just a standard dive/sports bar, but what makes it cool is that it's in the middle of Aspen where it's hard to find any store or restaurant that wouldn't be $$$$ on Yelp. They have some pretty good bar food too, the wings and burgers definitely hit the spot. The kitchen is also open until midnight which is crazy for Aspen, most of the other places in town stop serving by 9 or 10 at the latest. Overall, it probably won't blow anyone away but it's still nice to have a "normal" option in town when you just want to watch a football game and have a few beers without breaking the bank. read more

Gotta love a locals bar /downstairs hide out! Recommended to us on the gondola by a chef at a four star Aspen restaurant. Zanes is comfortable ambiance and friendly service. Perfect place to end the ski day! read more

First of all, lots in here the night I came which was a Saturday. Typical bar affair but it was tasty after a long work day. Owner or manager, this one is for you: The place is full, people ordering drinks and food, why on Earth does an establishment have one person serving and making drinks and one person cooking food in a full establishment? Maybe it's because an employee or TWO called in sick? Then possibly bring in another person or YOU. Those two poor souls worked their asses off tonight, male and female. Kudos to them but wow, labor laws should be in affect, that's a slight joke. I'll totally commend those two, they were jumping but more people should be working here on a Saturday night. 'Nuff said..... read more

Server never brought the menus, then started mocking us and making fun of military veterans. Then he didn't want to break out our check. He said he's to busy to break it up. Told us to pay and get out. Terrible service. Need more servers than just one person running the joint. Servers have a terrible attitude. Be aware. read more

A great place to go for happy hour. We enjoyed the atmosphere of a sports bar. It's loud with tvs and people looking for a night out. Taylor tots are amazing. Loved the spicy Asian wings. Chicken Philly sandwich was really good. Liked the carnitas taco (steak was okay but to be honest we were so full that the rating could be influenced by overloaded taste buds) Check this place out! read more

I am a local and have many choices as to where to have lunch or dinner. I visit your tavern a few times a month. I would like to say on my latest visit our server, Amy did a spot on job. She was courteous and a very pleasant personality. Checked on our table of 4 very regularly but not annoyingly ever few minutes. She is part of the reason me and my family/friends will continue supporting your place. Food is good. Prices reasonable. Beer was cold. read more

El Jebel location is ideal for catching a game and eating the best wings in the Valley! Food is great and the service is fast and friendly. Beer is always cold and plentiful!!! Nice work Eddie! read more

Old school tavern frequented by many locals. If you're looking for fancy cocktails this isn't your place. However, if you're looking for a stiff drink or a beer and a casual, authentic local atmosphere this is your place. The menu is standard bar fare, but doesn't mean it should be overlooked. We had the chicken tacos and their specialty cheesesteak egg rolls. read more

Service was rude and awful. Food was meh, Don't waste your time or money when there are better places around Aspen.

This is the best bar in Aspen! Unbelievable food for a tiny place! Would recommend this to anyone!

The waitress only checked on us once in a whole hour yet yelled at our friend group for not tipping more. Also gave huge racist energy as she did not treat the white counterparts like us at all. Colored people, avoid this place at all costs and spend your hard earned money elsewhere. read more

My friends wanted to stop somewhere to watch a football game, so we stopped here. The place is pretty sparse before the game. I ordered french fries & nachos and my friends got a cheese steak and mac & cheese egg rolls. They didn't appear to have a lot of beers on tap, so I just got a Stella Artois. The bar started filling up with people watching the baseball game, and we asked to have one of the televisions turned to the football game which the staff didn't appear to really like. Nonetheless the TV was changed and my friends were able to watch the football game. There are about 6 to 10 TVs overall scattered around the bar. The nachos were typical bar food and were kind of wet. The fries were good though and so was the beer. There is only one unisex bathroom, and it's really clean. Overall it was a cool place to relax and had a reasonable atmosphere during the games. read more

Awesome. Food was very good. Carnitas tacos, burger, philly chicken, tried them all. Beer was cold. Service was good and friendly.
