When you set foot into the Woody Creek Tavern for the first time, it could be tough to tell if you’ve stepped back, forward - or perhaps sideways - in time. Your nose will absorb spice; is it Latin? Is it Argentine? Your stomach’s going to growl even as your eyeballs pixelate and fixate on over 40 years of accumulated memorabilia forming a multi layered collage that comprises the décor. Polaroids paper the walls; a pressed-tin ceiling ricochets warm laughter and conversation around the space. When it opened in 1980, the Tavern instantly became a locals’ joint. – a watering hall for the residence of Woody Creek. A few miles to the east Aspen is diving into the future, while the Tavern is content to be down-home and casually comfortable. Join us for great food, a stiff drink, and some of the most colorful characters you’ll ever meet!
