Après Ski Guide


For budget-conscious diners, après ski menu specials are a great way to save on dinner.
Whether you’re looking for a cozy corner to sample a cocktail with friends, a buzzing bar filled with new faces, or an atmosphere bumping with music and energy, the scene at Aspen Snowmass always delivers. And, with outdoor patios and fresh mountain air, it's easy to catch some sunshine while you sip.
As always, keep your eyes out for pop-up DJs around our four mountains and après specials to celebrate spring skiing. Cheers!

Eleven212
Perched at 11,212 feet in elevation, rising above downtown Aspen and adjacent to the historic Sundeck Restaurant, Eleven212 can be reached on foot or by skis to enjoy live music and DJ sets, stunning Elk Mountain views, a curated food and beverage menu, and a vibrant après atmosphere true to Aspen’s roots. Gather your group in an open-air cabin, cozy up fireside on the Adirondack chairs, peruse classic ski sweaters at the merch cabin, or sidle up to the stage—there’s not a bad seat on this summit.

Once you’re off the slopes, there are hard-to-beat local spots just steps away from the hill.
Home Town BBQ
From Buttermilk, head to Home Team BBQ walking distance from the Buttermilk Base Area inside The Inn at Aspen for beers on tap and some of the best smoked meats you’ll find in the Valley.
WET Deck
After you wrap at Ajax Tavern or The Wine Bar, head over to WET Deck rooftop at the W Aspen for 360-degree views of Aspen, strong cocktails, and a trendy locals’ scene complete with a pool and hot tub.
Venga Venga
As you head down the frontside of Snowmass, stop at the top of the Skittles Lift on Fanny Hill at Snowmass Base Village for a margarita, some mezcal, and flavorful shared plates via a daily happy hour at Venga Venga.
Highlands Alehouse
A visit to Aspen Highlands won’t feel complete without a stop at the Highlands Alehouse, located at the base of the mountain. Enjoy delicious wings—with veggie options—and drinks with the locals.
