Terrace Bar

After the ski lifts close, those in the know make their way just past our lobby to the Terrace Bar, consistently cited as one of the world's most famous après ski lounges.

Between 3pm - until the party winds down, the Terrace Bar opens to a festive and lively après ski scene fueled by the Terrace Bar’s unique Global tapas menu. The offerings come from countries and cuisines found along the 13th Parallel and include tasty dishes from Asia, Latin America, and Southern Europe. Patrons can enjoy fabulous food, cocktails, and a spectacular view of Aspen Mountain as it transitions from day to night.

The Terrace Bar is open during our winter season.

Join us for Superbowl Sunday this Feb. 5th, as the New England Patriots square off against the New York Giants. Doors open at 3 p.m., Kickoff at 4:30 p.m. The game will be shown on three screens. View our Special Gameday Menu featuring the best eats from New England and New York.

Iron Bartender - The Little Nell is asking which local bartender has the skills to be named “Aspen’s Iron Bartender.” Every Sunday starting February 12 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. in the Terrace Bar, two of the town’s leading bartenders will square off in a round robin competition to determine whose cocktail reigns supreme.

The drink gurus will show their stuff, using Grand Marnier as an element in creating delicious concoctions.  Each guest will get one vote with the purchase of a featured cocktail. The bartender with the most votes at the end of the night moves on to the next round. The contest will continue Sundays through March, culminating in a March 26 throw-down with the ultimate victor winning the crown and a trip to “Tales of The Cocktail” in New Orleans to party with some of America’s greatest cocktail creators.
