Aspen

J-Bar

330 East Main Street Aspen

970-920-1000

An après-ski staple since 1880, J-Bar is a cozy gathering place located in the handsome Hotel Jerome. With rustic décor and glass chandeliers, the retreat evokes a Wild Western saloon; patrons sip drafts at the bar, which maintains its original wood carvings. Once a local haunt of movie stars and artists, J-Bar is the birthplace of the ‘Aspen Crud,’ a WWII-era drink made with whiskey and vanilla ice cream that is still served there today. The menu features classic bar fare and specialties, including the popular J-Bar Burger.
