Aspen Nightlife – The Caribou Club

According to The New York Post, the Caribou  Club is the absolute best private club in  America. This is a member’s only private club,  and the membership fee is quite high – but the  ambiance is top-notch! The Caribou Club is located in Aspen,  Colorado on East Hopkins Avenue. The club  is open from 6:30pm until 2am every day, and  you can enjoy dinner and dancing, or lounge in  the Great Room before a roaring fireplace with  a fine cigar. The wine cellar houses over 5000  wines from around the world.  There is more to The Caribou Club than fine  dining and dancing, however. When you enter  the club, you are entering a world of elegance  that can only be experienced here. The walls  are covered with 19th century paintings. There  is a coat room, where your coat will be taken  from you, and you are made to feel like a very  welcome houseguest. You can then go to the  bar, the Great Room, or be seated for dinner  – the choice is yours. The Caribou Club has only been open for about  ten

Aspen Nightlife – Theatre in the Park

Founded in 1983 by Kent Reed, Theatre in the Park  has become an Aspen tradition that adds to the  delight of Aspen nightlife. Theatre in the Park once  actually was theatre that was performed in a tent in  the park. Now, however, Theatre in the Park has  changed its name to Theatre Aspen, and a new  permanent structure is in development. This will  allow Theatre in the Park to hold year-round  performances, instead of summer-only performances. Contemporary and classical plays are all presented  by the theatre. If you are in Aspen around Christmas  time, make sure that you see the theatre’s  presentation of “Its A Wonderful Life.” As a summer- only venue, sixty shows are performed each year.  Once the company has its permanent structure, we  can expect many more each year. The Theatre Aspen also has many training programs  for adults and children. Currently, performances are  held between June and August. The Theatre in the  Park is located in the Rio Grande Park.

Aspen Nightlife – Syzygy

Syzygy, which is located on East Hyman Avenue in  Aspen, Colorado, has repeatedly won awards for  being one of the best restaurants in this ski town.  Featuring outstanding jazz music and food that is  out of this world, Syzygy is the place to be when it  comes to Aspen nightlife and fine dining. This is an  Aspen landmark that is not to be missed. The chef at Syzygy combines European and Asian  dishes, and presents them in a modern American  way. These combinations are what set the cuisine  at Syzygy apart from the food you find at most  restaurants. Along with this outstanding fare, you  can select wine from a list of over 300 Italian,  American, and French wines. If you aren’t sure  which wine will work with the fine food you have  ordered – simply ask your waiter. They always  seem to know exactly which wine will enhance the  flavor of the food the best. One of the nice touches about the service at  Syzygy’s is that the Chef likes to send gifts to the  table, such as goat cheese, p

Aspen Nightlife – How to Find the Entertainment

 No matter what time of year it is when you visit  Aspen, there is always something going on –  even in the off season. The town is small, but  there are usually several types of entertainment  offered each evening in different parts of the  small town. Generally, you won’t have to search  too hard to find some entertainment – but it is  better to know exactly what is going on all over  town, so you can choose the Aspen nightlife  that best suits your interests. First, call the Chamber of Commerce in Aspen  a few months before your trip if possible. Ask  them what events are planned for the time  period that you will be there. Events are usually  scheduled well in advance, and finding out  about these events well in advance will not only  help you to better make your plans, but it will  also allow you to purchase needed tickets in  advance. Nothing will be more disappointing  than arriving in Aspen and finding out that your  favorite band is in town for a sold out show! Events can come

Aspen Nightlife – Harris Concert Hal

There is always something going on in Aspen,  Colorado and the Aspen nightlife is very active.  You can find a wide variety of things to do – but  if you want a little culture, you should definitely  find out what events are planned at the Harris  Concert Hall.  At the Harris Concert Hall, you will find  everything from Piano Recitals to Rock-n-Roll  Concerts. Events are planned well in advance,  so you should be able to find out what concerts  and events are scheduled to coincide with your  Aspen vacation.  The Harris Concert Hall is located in the West  end of Aspen, in a quaint residential  neighborhood. Due to parking and traffic  problems, you should strongly consider  walking to the concert hall. It is a short ten  minute walk from the downtown area. Other  transportation options include biking or taking  the bus. When there are events at the concert, it is very difficult to find parking. The Aspen Music Festival and School were  founded in 1949 by Walter and Elizabeth  Paepcke f

Aspen Nightlife – Getting Around

After a day on the slopes, you may be  wondering what there is to do for the rest of the  evening. Well, don’t use up all of your energy,  and leave the slopes early enough to get in a  short nap – you will need all of the energy you  can muster for the Aspen nightlife. No matter  how much skiing you get in or how many of  the runs you have mastered, you have not truly  experienced Aspen until you venture out after  dark! Aspen has three basic areas: downtown, the  West end, and the East end. The town is  remarkably small, considering how many  people venture here each season – but  surprisingly, everyone and everything just fits.  The town is actually small enough to leave  your car parked at your lodge or hotel and walk  anywhere that you want to go. In fact, this is  recommended.  Not everyone pays heed to this advice, which  can make driving around and parking very  difficult. You can also take a free shuttle from  one mountain to another, take the Roaring Fork  Transit Authority B
