More New Aspen Restaurants
BUCK (Bar Under Cooper & Kitchen) Vestiges of “old Aspen” abound at BUCK (inhabiting the address of legendary dive Cooper Street Pier from 1973 to 2008): stained glass saved from the Crystal Palace, Red Onion bar tables laminated with retro ski passes, a stairway railing made of Smuggler Mine rail, and more than 100 pairs of vintage straight skis donated by locals. Revelers pack in for cheap drinks, decent $4 draft beer, and craveable pub fare, from a killer burger and a Southern fried chicken sandwich to lobster wontons and nightly $20 special entrees (Wagyu lasagna, prime rib). Saturdays showcase chef John “JJ” Harvey’s native Belizean-Jamaican cuisine. With just 52 seats and a clean, high-ceilinged, spacious feeling, BUCK is both billionaire-friendly and a boon to ski bums.
