Jenny’s guidebook to Aspen
Woody Creek Tavern
Fun place to bike to (and taxi home!) or drive out and enjoy the views. Great food and nice staff. Famous locally and always a good time. Mexican and American food, full bar, cute tackle shop next door, plenty of bike area, outdoor seating and photos of all the celebrities who have been there over the years, and are all over the walls!
Must get special taxi to take home electric bikes! It is mainly a flat ride.

Food scene
VERY close to the house and an AMAZING selection of high quality Italian food. Wild smoked salmon carpaccio is my go-to, plus great gluten free pizzas. The rim of the ceiling is lined with hundreds of bottles of interesting liquors, very cool to see. Dogs welcome outside for dining. Make a reservation!

Clark's is our favorite lunch spot in Austin when we are there for UT games, so imagine how excited we were when they took over Little Annie's, a long time famous spot in Aspen! They lightened and brightened the atmo, added a cool aquarium, and serve awesome seafood and burgers. Saw Peyton Manning there last time!
Great oysters, nice staff, clean bathrooms, you just can't go wrong here!
