Ajax Tavern (The Little Nell)

Ajax Tavern (The Little Nell) Description

Ajax Tavern blends French and American comfort food in a lively setting at the base of Aspen Mountain. The menu features popular favorites like truffle fries, double cheeseburgers, oysters, steak, and house-made ice cream. There are also gluten-free, vegetarian, and seafood options, so most guests can find something that suits their tastes and dietary needs. Located right next to the Silver Queen Gondola, Ajax Tavern is one of the best spots in Aspen for après-ski. In the winter, it’s common to see skiers walk straight from the slopes to a table on the patio. With live music during the season, outdoor seating, and a full-service bar, the vibe is social, energetic, and welcoming. It’s the kind of place where you can show up in ski gear or casual clothes and still feel right at home. The restaurant is open for lunch, dinner, and dessert, making it an easy choice no matter the time of day. Lunch tends to be the busiest, especially on bluebird days when the patio fills with locals and visitors soaking up the mountain views. Dinner is a bit more relaxed, with a slightly upscale feel but without any pretension. The friendly staff and crowd keep things casual. Inside, the space has a warm, inviting feel with large windows that bring the outdoors in. It’s a great place to enjoy a cocktail, share appetizers, or have a full meal after a day exploring Aspen. You’ll find Ajax Tavern at 685 E Durant Avenue, just steps from the gondola and near Aspen’s downtown core. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite, a social lunch, or a fun après scene, Ajax Tavern delivers a dependable, enjoyable dining experience with unbeatable mountain access.
