J-Bar in Aspen is a must-visit for anyone who loves a mix of history and great food. This iconic bar, once a favorite hangout of Hunter S. Thompson, retains its old-school charm while serving up one of the best burgers in town. The atmosphere is lively yet nostalgic, making it the perfect spot to soak in Aspen’s rich history with a perfectly crafted drink and a delicious, juicy burger. A true gem!

This is a beautiful old style little bar with amazing service and even better food and drinks. We stopped in on a hot afternoon in the summer and had a fantastic waiter who made perfect recommendations for some afternoon cocktails and served us an incredible blue corn bread skillet with popcorned butter. It’s pricey, but definitely worth the indulgence. We will probably return for desserts later on!

We’ll – it’s true! What a great bar and food – fun and brilliant bartenders too! We were looking for “Aspen’s Best Hamburger” – I’m sure there are other good ones, but ones been rated #1, and we agree! Beautifully served and delicious – get the fries too! We also had a tasty Caesar Salad snd Lsmb Meatballs w sauce, dates, and figs – yum! Our bartender, Ben was a total pro – made us a few “off the menu” creating drinks – raspberry rum and coffee? – sounds crazy – but was great and he’s got sone super-powers for creative drinks. Great good – drinks – people – a d as always, elegant Cowboys and Cowgirls Jerome historic fun!

Spent a 3day weekend in Aspen, mostly dining out every evening. Every review at places said pricey for what you get served. Including this place. Buffalo Burgers are usually expensive anyway… I can say as a fact that the size of the burger was large and thick, perfectly cooked! Juicy Tasted Wonderfully delicious!! I forget what my friend ordered but she did say it was the best thing she ate so far on the trip. We did go on a Sunday kinda late. When we walked past to the hiking trails it was packed all the times.

Great service. Fellow behind the bar was great, but it was $38 for a burger and the burger wasn’t really that flavorful and had a lot of gristle in it. I really would not have minded the price if it had been tasty, but it was very mediocre and I was surprised about the quality of the beef. The side Caesar salad was also bland, and the extra dressing did not help. Everything looked nice but was simply not very Flavorful. Would recommend for the drinks and service, not the food.

We’ve always loved coming to the J Bar, but our most recent lunch was really disappointing. There were only a few tables seated that were finished with their meals, yet it took almost two hours to get through lunch. We had our toddler with us, and it took nearly twenty minutes just to get a high chair. We were seated in the middle of the dining area, but kept getting forgotten about, and with only one server working, she disappeared for a long time. The service was honestly unwelcoming. The food was good as usual, but the service was awful this time. Also worth noting — the bathrooms don’t have changing tables, which makes things hard for families. Sadly, we probably won’t return.

Sad food story experience. Obliterated Brussels, full char…never go full char!
The burger has gone downhill. Staff pompous. 1880’s vibe lost+ chicke. Soup still on menus and still past perfect. As a former I was appalled. Not sure could of been a bad day. After all they are well staffed..

A visit to Aspen isn’t complete without a stop in for at least a drink at the J-Bar! I’ve been in for lunch before but this time stopped in for a drink and dessert and we weren’t disappointed! We were warmly greeted immediately and invited to sit wherever we wanted! Waiter recommended the Mini-Donuts served with Crémé Anglaise, and the Blueberry Pie. Both were so amazing, but I think the table favorite was the blueberry pie! The bar is truly a relaxed and casual environment for families, couples and friends alike. It is expensive and just be aware there is a 22% fee which I wasn’t made aware of until the end. In all fairness it could have been printed on the menu and I didn’t see it?

Cozy, eclectic, rustic and elegant atmosphere. Interesting selection of signature drinks from the full bar, including wines and local beers. The menu is equally intriguing including appetizers, salads, soups, entrees and of course their famous burger! We chose the J Burger topped with Swiss cheese and mushrooms served with French fries of course! We also enjoyed the Confit Lollipop Chicken Drumsticks! Plenty of food for four people although we were only two – so of course we had to take home leftovers….too bad!!! :-). Next time we will have to bring more of an appetite so we can try more from the menu!!

Had drinks and small bites at J-Bar on two occasions now and really enjoy the old school atmosphere and outstanding service. The bar is located within the Hotel Jerome, which is a really nice property. If you’re driving there, the hotel allows you to valet your car for up to 3 hours free of charge, assuming you’re visiting one of their restaurants within. In any event, J-Bar is a great spot for drinks in downtown Aspen.
