Ajax Denver draws inspiration from its sister restaurant, Ajax Tavern, the iconic après‑ski destination at the base of Aspen Mountain since 1994. Celebrating the craft of open‑flame cooking, the restaurant features a live‑fire kitchen that brings bold flavor and sensory drama to every dish. Open for breakfast, lunch, après, and dinner, Ajax serves locally sourced, mesquite‑charcoal‑fired fare alongside craft cocktails, curated wines, and standout regional beers. Executive Chef Jared Becker’s menu highlights seasonal vegetables, dry‑aged beef, and expertly sourced regional duck.

Ajax Bar brings a social setting perfect for unwinding. The bar showcases a thoughtful lineup of craft cocktails, curated wines, and standout regional beers. Its signature drink—the Firelight Old Fashioned—layers smoky mesquite notes with a bright citrus finish, capturing the spirit of the restaurant in a single glass. With its warm alpine‑inspired design and lively atmosphere, Ajax Bar is the ideal place to settle in and savor the moment.
