Jimmy's - Aspen, CO

I’ve never eaten in the actual restaurant here, but the bar is awesome and has a hearty selection of American comfort food. This is probably my favorite dinner spot in Aspen, with a good mix of locals and “in the know” out of towners. The bar menu is a toned down, and less expensive, version of the one in the regular restaurant with my favorites being the meatloaf, the surf & turf (seared ahi tuna and filet tips) and the crab leg special on Thursday nights. It’s usually crowded, so put your name in with one of the guys floating around the bar to get in line for a bar seat or for one of the high top tables. I always have one (or a few) of their house margaritas, their specialty.
