The Red Onion

Recently remodeled, The Red Onion is once again the popular saloon and restaurant which began 120 years ago. Several interesting historical treasures still remain in the building. The bar room is almost exactly as it was in 1892. The bar and back bar were stripped of layers of dirt, beer, and whiskey which revealed the beautiful wooden inlay. The two handcrafted Hungarian figures still sit atop the bar, just as they have over the past 100 years. Some of the old time ‘heroes’ in the priceless collection of photos were actually acquaintances of the original proprietors. The walls of the dining room are adorned with an expanding display of historical photographs that depict the early days of Aspen. The portrait of Tom Latta was recently discovered and now oversees the activities in the restaurant.
