Caribou Club

I went to the Caribou Club for a wedding. We had our own private room for dinner. The cocktail hour and dinner were really great. Excellent service, great food, I would give it 4 or 5 stars for this for sure!

It got super weird around 11pm. The bride and groom had done their dances and then the dance floor filled up with a bunch of weirdos. Old rich men and way-too-young-for-said-old-guy girls. It was almost uncomfortable! The DJ played straight up techno and all these akward couples were grinding on each other. This really brought the rating down. I would never hang out here for fun.

The wedding was great though! Would have been nice to have the place to ourselves a little longer before the Scenesters made an appearance.

If you have 20K to spare yearly, this is the club for you. This is a members only club in the heart of Aspen. I thought the amenities were really nice in this club. The bathrooms utilized cloth towels, a sign that this club intends to cater to the elite. This club felt like I was in some private moose lodge. It was dimly lit with a lounge area where people can converse and a dance floor where people dance the night away.

As a warning, no caps or hats allowed inside the club which means you need to check it in at the coat check. Also, coats are also not allowed. Anyhow, for what this club is, it was pretty fun although the drinks are quite hefty, but then, this is Aspen.

Although this is a private club, if you are staying at Hotel Jerome, Little Nell or the St Regis ask your concierge as they can sometimes get you in as a guest. The food here has always been excellent, especially the Colorado Rack of Lamb. I always plan at least one dinner here.
