When it comes to après ski in Aspen, few venues are as iconic as Ajax Tavern. Perfectly positioned at the base of Aspen Mountain beside the Silver Queen Gondola, Ajax Tavern delivers the quintessential Aspen après experience: sun-soaked afternoons, champagne flowing, DJs playing and front-row views of skiers carving their final runs of the day.
Part of the legendary The Little Nell, Ajax Tavern blends elevated mountain dining with a lively social atmosphere that has made it one of the most sought-after spots in Aspen. The sprawling patio is the place to see and be seen, attracting everyone from ski locals to celebrities and luxury travellers enjoying Aspen’s famous après culture.
The menu is as memorable as the atmosphere. Ajax Tavern is renowned for its truffle fries and famous Ajax Wagyu double cheeseburger, alongside fresh oysters, seafood towers, craft cocktails, premium wines and après classics designed for sharing. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual drink after skiing or settling in for a long lunch in the Colorado sunshine, the energy continues well into the evening.
During winter, the après scene truly comes alive with live DJs, champagne sprays and a vibrant crowd gathered on the mountainside terrace. Guests can watch the gondola spin overhead while enjoying one of Aspen’s most iconic social settings. Ajax Tavern perfectly captures the glamorous yet relaxed spirit that Aspen is famous for.
Ideal for couples, groups of friends, luxury travellers and anyone wanting to experience Aspen’s legendary social scene, Ajax Tavern is a must-visit during any ski holiday to Colorado. Whether you arrive straight off the slopes in ski boots or dressed for an evening out, this is après skiing at its finest.
