Description: Indoor/outdoor mountainside tavern nestled at the base of Aspen Mountain, steps away from the Silver Queen Gondola, serving delightful but unpretentious French and American food. A perfect restaurant for apres-ski or after a day of Aspen exploration. Ajax Tavern is open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

High energy vibes with DJ and watching skiers come down off the runs. Plenty of outdoor seating but very popular and tends to fill up quickly after final run. Great menu. Love the oysters, pasta, French onion soup and burger. Good wine and cocktails. Definitely the place to hang for lunch and apres ski.

Pub style dining. Very nice. Food and appetizers were all delicious. Most outstanding appetizer was the fondu. It included mushrooms, apples, cauliflower, and bread. Plenty for four people. Service was excellent.

Located at the foot of Ajax mountain and the gondola, this is where the in-crowd finish the day. Always challenging to get a table or even a seat! Just drink beer or cocktails or partake of the expensive fast food, the choice is yours. Experience it once!

Very busy place . I was there once for diner and other time for apre . Both time I had a great experience. They get very busy. So make sure you make a reservation . For lunch they have a Champagne bar just out of the restaurant . The view is great . Right on the bottom of the mountain. It's great to seat have a wine and enjoy the skier.

Dear Antonio B,

I am happy to hear that you have dined with us a couple times, and have had a great experience both times! We are a popular destination for après ski, and it is always a fun environment full with great food & cocktails along with live music. Oasis is the champagne bar at the base of the mountain, and it is there weekends during March. It is unique and fun to experience during or after a day of skiing! The view of the mountain is beautiful, and adds to the scene of it all. I hope I can welcome you back soon!

Ajax Tavern is located at the base of Aspen Mountain, next to the Silver Queen Gondola which goes to the top of Aspen Mountain. It is the perfect apres ski location as the sun sets over the ski scene. Excellent music, bar and food service. Limited seating so often the wait is 30 minutes to be seated. Indoor seating also available.

Dear morrisjkm,

Thank you for the review! Our location at the base of Aspen Mountain is quite breathtaking, and creates a wonderful scene. Its adds to the fun atmosphere our live music gives, along with great food and cocktails. We are a popular spot to enjoy après ski after a day of being on the mountain. When the sun goes down, we do have indoor seating that has just as much charm as our patio. I look forward to welcoming you back soon!
