I had never heard of a ""Bar Menu"" that had more than calamari or nachos before until Aspen. Most restaurants have a Bar Menu that consists of soup, salads, fish, steak all for under $15-20. Our group of two couples had: frog legs, salmon, steak and beef risotto. The steak was the best she had ever had and my risotta was quite yummy. Paired with a glass or wine per couple, a soup shared, dessert and tax our bill only came to $80/couple! Great deal in Aspen!\r

The only downside is that it is first come first serve, but with 5 tables of 4 and 10 or so seats at the bar, the wait isn't too long.
Pros: Great value for Aspen
Cons: Might have to wait for a table since you can't make a reservation at the bar.
