We apologize for suggesting the fireworks would happen this year in Aspen. For safety reasons, they won't. But there are still plenty of places to enjoy the Fourth of July weekend in Aspen. Here are our favorites.
Ajax Tavern
Located in The Little Nell Hotel, Ajax Tavern is serving up casual fine dining in an unbeatable atmosphere. Guests can enjoy the Fourth of July this summer in style— lounging on the magnificent mountainside deck with an ice-cold cocktail in hand. Oh, and don’t forget to order the legendary truffle fries. 685 E. Durant Ave., 970.920.6334, thelittlenell.com
WET Deck at the W Hotel Aspen
Sitting atop the W Hotel, WET Deck is surely a place to see or be seen. This mountainside rooftop boasts a pool and hot tub, fire pits, 360 mountain views and full bar— perfect for all of your Fourth of July festivities. Keep in mind, there is a $35 beverage and food minimum, but in-house guests and neighborhood cardholders are exempt from this required spend. 550 S. Spring St., 970.975.0714, marriott.com
Nakazawa
Located in Mill Street Fountain, Nakazawa is a fine sushi experience like no other. Choose from a variety of fresh sashimi and rolls as you enjoy the downtown Aspen atmosphere. 305 S. Mill St., 970. 925.1797, nakazawaaspen.com
Prospect at Hotel Jerome
From elegant ceiling molding to hand-stitched leather chairs, Prospect immerses guests in the historic yesteryear of rustic Aspen. This American bistro is bringing elevated, yet approachable dishes to the table, showcasing the best of Roaring Fork Valley’s in-season ingredients. With spacious courtyard dining, guests can enjoy a delectable dinner while enjoying the national holiday in all its glory. 330 E. Main St., 855.331.7213, aubergeresorts.com
