Ajax Tavern

Ajax Tavern comes to life at lunch, and the energy rolls on into dinner. If you go no further on the menu, try the truffle fries + wagyu double burger.

Glamorous yet casual. Ajax Tavern's sun-drenched, mountainside patio can be seen from halfway up the mountain – a simple target for lunch or cocktails. Arrive, and let the people-watching begin, there’s no better seat in town. Located right next to the Silver Queen Gondola, Ajax Tavern is the hub for Aspen casual fine dining in an unbeatable atmosphere.
