Aspen Nightlife

Nightlife

Aspen’s après-ski scene rocks. The diverse “wild-life”—everything from billiard rooms and jazz clubs to wine bars and throwback saloons—entertains all sorts. If you over-indulge the free in-town bus runs until 2am. Bartenders can also arrange a free cab ride, courtesy of Aspen's enlightened Tipsy Taxi program.

Smart Splurge    Great Value
Greenhouse Bar
Film luminaries and Wall Street moguls enjoying high-end bottle service and fresh sushi or fondue are sensuously backlit for maximum exposure at Aspen’s primo see-and-be-seen bar.

39 Degrees
Have fun at Thirty-Nine, where polka-dot pillows, animal-print rugs, and a Quentin Tarantino-esque soundtrack set the tone. Friendly international waitresses serve surprisingly affordable drinks in form-fitting designer outfits that change seasonally.

Eric's Bar
This is the spot for over-40 single malt Scotches and under-30 singles, as well as a microbrew menu second to none. Puff stogies at the Cigar Bar or rack ‘em up in Aspen’s Billiards.

Jimmy's: An American Bar & Restaurant
A hard-drinking, party-happy crowd squeezes into this handsome, clubby room for "fierce American food," tequila, and mezcals (they have 81 varieties of the two).
205 S. Mill St., upstairs; Aspen, CO; 970-925-6020; www.jimmysaspen.com

Caribou Club
Granted, tabs average $1,000 (and there’s that pesky $500 membership fee), but mingling with Billy Crystal in the Great Room (a Western fantasia of antler-and-crystal chandeliers and billowing bronze swag) is priceless.
411 E. Hopkins Ave.; Aspen, CO; 970-925-2929; www.caribouclub.com

Belly Up
The sister of the über-hip SoCal spot features a wildly eclectic live-music line-up (everyone from Third Eye Blind to the Wu-Tang Clan have played here).
450 S. Galena St.; Aspen, CO; 970-544-9800; www.bellyupaspen.com
