Aspen Public House

Housed within the historic Wheeler Opera House in downtown Aspen, Aspen Public House operates as a modern gastropub that blends vintage aesthetics with upscale dining. Executive Chef Douglas Lopez leads the culinary program, crafting a menu that emphasizes high-quality beef burgers, fried chicken, salads, and sandwiches while sourcing local ingredients whenever possible. The establishment serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, with a dedicated late-night kitchen and bar area that stays open later than the main dining room. The full-service bar highlights local beers, craft cocktails, and a curated wine selection, making it a central gathering spot for both locals and visitors. A central patio provides an inviting outdoor space, and the venue remains open year-round to accommodate families and casual diners seeking familiar comfort food in a distinctive setting.
