The Rock Inn

Fun mountain tavern, our all around number one pick for dinner. http://www.rockinnestes.com/
Bird and Jim's
Operated by AspenHaus friend Melissa Strong. This is an eclectic spot for a fun farm-to-table menu. Great views and happy hour specials. You will likely need a reservation. https://www.birdandjim.com

We are St. Louis pizza connoisseur's who have been won over by the great slices at Antonio's. You can't find a better pizza in Estes Park and besides that the owner Anthony aims to please!! https://estesparkpizza.com
Dave's BBQ
Best BBQ outside of our own grill in St. Louis! http://www.smokindavesq.com/
Burger Stop
Doesn't look like much from the outside (located in the Sinclair Station at 860 Moraine Avenue) and just a few tables inside, but by far the best fast food burger in Estes Park!

Great all-around American mountian fare with a wide selection of wine and spirit choices.
