    Bering going here for three years!

    My fav spot to wind down after several hoursof boarding.  The crowd is 20-30 somethings and at the moment fairly hipstery.  But the cigar bar and atmosphere of it are great.

    I've met  alot of fun people here and the bartenders and servers are always fun.

    They have ACID's, Cohib'as, R&J's, Macanudo's and I think I saw one more.

    This place was crazy.  Crazy bad!  If you didn't think there was a thug life in Aspen, look no further.  Filled with locals who are on drugs and possessive of their territory, this is a place to be avoided.  

    There was one girl who randomly threw her jacket at me, started touching the feet of the guys I was with, and tried to tell me they were going to charge my card extra.  Another guy decided to display his cocaine stash, which may or may not have been sold to Brook Mueller later that night.  A third girl spoke to me like she was the evil character Ursula and then promptly went back to devouring the married guy she was making out with.  If making out with a girl like that isn't a splash of cold water in a married guy's face then I don't think anything can save that union.

    My hunch is that they were all on something and the 2 stars are for the nice waiters, some of the only sane people in the place.

    We didn't take advantage of all the different "rooms" but we were lucky and snagged one of the "bottle service" tables and enjoyed a few rounds there.  It was getting late and pretty rowdy so we moved on to the Regal.

    Definitely the place to go in Aspen if you want options. Dance floor, couches, bar area, pool hall, cigar bar, patio, the works.

    The idea of this bar is so great to me! There's all kinds of different rooms in this bar so if you feel like playing pool, or dancing, or even just smoking in a cool little loungey area, they got it all.

    The drinks were fabulous and the atmosphere was great. It had a great crowd and again, I can't even explain how cool it was that they had all kinds of different areas of the bar that were all so different!

    If you have a large group of people and you can't all agree on what kind of bar you want to go to, come here! Everyone will find something they like :]

    3-for-1 Deal

    Oooo, you want to deny it, you're shaking your head, you're bunching your shoulders, but you know--you know everyone in the town where the beer flows like wine will be at Eric's. Half the night is pretending you won't end up there.

    But when you do [let's leave the "if" out of it], hook left at the bottom of the stairs and start at Su Casa, where the drinks are cheaper and the wait's nonexistent, make a pit stop at the Cigar Bar (a dying breed) for a vanilla cigarillo, and put your name in for a pool table. The elaborate dance ends with a criminally bad game of billiards, and some shamelessly good people watching.

    Drinks were okay but pretty damn pricey for well drinks. I am used to paying expensive $10+ drinks fro cocktails in SF. but $10 for a well drink is not okay.

    However the atmosphere was decent. Dark, nice brick, not crowded by far from empty. The DJ played an wide range of music but all dating from 1998 to 2002. For me it was like a musical time warp back to high school

    If you have never been to Aspen, and you are looking for a spot to go, this is you place. Its very popular, and has something for everyone with 3 different types of rooms. I wouldnt say I love it, but this is usually the place I end up at - particularly when people are indecisive.

    Always a fun bar I visit every time I'm in town, very friendly staff even if they can tell you're not a regular. The Cigar Bar is awesome.  However there can be a lot of shady people hanging out at Eric's or the billiard room. This past weekend someone stole my digital video camera, and my brother got slapped in the face from some random stranger leaving the bar for absolutely no reason. Cool hangout on certain nights, but be prepared for out-of-town trash on occasion. I don't recommend bringing anything valuable with you.
