"A popular après-ski spot with a patio near the Silver Queen Gondola, famous for truffle fries."
"There’s no more classic après-ski spot in Aspen than Ajax Tavern, located right at the base of the Silver Queen Gondola. Put your skis on the rack, grab a table on the patio with your friends, and order some Aperol spritzes and fries while you watch skiers zoom down the slopes." - Elise Taylor
"Head to Ajax Tavern in The Little Nell for a cocktail on the sun-drenched patio." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Ajax Tavern’s scene is strongest during the après hour, thanks to its large outdoor deck right at the base of the gondola. Definitely come then for drinks and plates of truffle fries, or finish off an early ski day with lunch. Ajax Tavern is at its prime before sunset, but it works well for families and groups looking for a convenient dinner option, too." - Hillary Reinsberg
