A great people-watching après spot
Located at the base of Aspen Mountain, this restaurant comes to life at lunch and sizzles into the night year-round. The Ajax Tavern crafts distinctive bistro fare inspired by Colorado's bounty of sustainably raised meats and locally-grown seasonal produce, so you're guaranteed only the freshest and best. The chef's innovative dishes include Colorado Lamb Bolognese, Crispy Kurobuta Pork Belly, Grass Fed Beef Tartare, Chanterelle and Leek Quiche and signature selections such as The Ajax Double Cheeseburger and Truffle Fries. For lighter fare, try the Pristine Raw Bar selections which feature fresh oysters, shrimp and crab. Cocktail hour brings out an abundant selection of fine wines and aperitifs, as well as an array of signature martinis and microbrews. Ajax Tavern is currently open from 11:30 am to 9 pm. Dinner reservations recommended. Lunch seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
