Woody Creek Tavern is a rustic tavern wallpapered with Hunter S. Thompson memorabilia & quirky photos that serves bar fare. Woody Creek is situated in the valley of the Roaring Fork River northwest of Aspen, along State Highway 82, where Woody Creek exits a canyon and joins the Roaring Fork. The Mexican food is the best in the valley. The tamales have attained near-mythic status-and the strong, blue agave margaritas are the best in the Aspen area.
