Stranahan's Whiskey Lodge

Great welcoming atmosphere along with great cocktails to boot. I suggest the fancy Hot pocket for food, it was a surprise hit.

fine whiskey, zero service ethicAbsolutely morose atmosphere. Suggestion: perhaps one person on the wait staff should attempt to smile. i have never seen a bartender who was less welcoming. Go for the whiskey but don't expect any positive vibes.

I was swayed to visit when I saw Stranahan's was voter #1 whiskey lounge in America by Yelp. That's a big title to earn!!!! -- and while I love me a good whiskey spot, I'm not sure it quite deserved the title? Don't get me wrong--it's a great little spot in Aspen to grab a cocktail. They have a lovely selection of whiskey-inspired cocktails and drinks. Being the Manhattan lover I am, I grabbed their house Manhattan and it was good but not the best I've ever had. I also wasn't super impressed with the service. Not that the service was bad, but usually if you visit a bar and you're the only one sitting there you'd think the bartenders would make conversation! My drink took a while and the guy next to me was sitting for nearly 10 minutes before they finally asked him what he wanted. It was not busy (a weekday around 5pm)If you're primarily a bar, I think it's just as important to have good, friendly bartenders as it is to have good drinks. All in all would probably visit again if I was in town just for the view and vibe - small indoor area with a bar, couch seating area, and a few tables, but the patio is right in the middle of the town square and you have a great view of the park and mountains. I feel there are better spots in Aspen to grab a cocktail if you're a whiskey lover -- like Hooch!

Came here for drinks, my husband really enjoyed the whiskey drinks here, they distill their own and you can purchase bottles of their whiskey. Our waitress was very friendly and the vibes were so cozy. This place didn't seem pretentious, just a good place to cozy up and have a good whiskey cocktail or whiskey flight. We purchased a flight of whisky and all of the styles were unique and flavorful. We will be back

A rugged, cozy, sexy bar with divine cocktails and surprisingly great food. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Aspen. This has become my favorite bar in the valley. The staff is chill and the vibe makes you want to linger with some whiskey in their big leather chairs.

Very cute new Whiskey Bar in Aspen! They offer bar food snacks, salads and burgers with a wide range of Smokey Whiskeys. The esthetic is cozy with wood designs and is reminiscent of a snuggly cabin. The location is perfectly plotted in the middle of Aspen, minutes from hotels, stores and art galleries. So easy to walk and enjoy the entire area! Had the vegan sampler and my friend had the chicken salad. The food was ok, but the drinks were very good. I had a Smokey Mocktail, very different but I liked it! Definitely recommend for the drinks and atmosphere as an end to a charmed Aspen evening!

Love the vibe and drinks were amaze! Strolled in before the music in the park on the 4th of July. The service was amazing, and we loved the deviled eggs and meat and cheese board! We will definitely be back!

My wife and I enjoyed the ambiance and hospitality from the Stranahan Whiskey team. Some honorable mentions: Max (GM) for the warm welcome, Kayla (assistant GM) for explaining the Stranahan history, different bottles of whiskey, and great conversation, and finally Jesse (bartender) for the great service. The Whiskey Lodge rustic yet elegant decor, comfortable bar seating is the perfect destination for whiskey lovers. Highly recommended!

Great place to grab a bite. Food was delicious with unique spins on favorite foods. Always enjoy Strananhan's and the cocktails here did not disappoint.

A fantastic and much welcome addition to Aspen! The cocktails are incredibly well crafted. I'd highly recommend the Espresso Martini made with their whiskey and the Barrel Aged Manhattan. Don't sleep on the food either - the pasta of day, grilled cheese with pork belly, and lamb flatbread were all amazing. Great atmosphere to spend a few hours after a day on the slopes with very friendly and helpful staff.
