Clark's Oyster Bar Aspen Reviews
This was such a fun happy hour! $.
50 off oysters and half off burgers! It was also very popular so make sure you come in early to get a seat!
Overcooked, mediocre and pricey
I do not eat seafood, which is Clarkโs specialty, so perhaps that colored my review. I had โpan-roastedโ Alaskan halibut, which was quite small, dry and overcooked. One of us had a burger - also overcooked. Linguini and clams was a hit with the person who ordered it. Heirloom tomato salad wasnโt really a salad, and was tiny. Service was ok, functional. For the four of us, the bill was $350, which included two tequilas, one beer, and a bottle of sparkling water. We neglected to order the other intended items. So, pretty pricey, even by Aspen standards. Skip it.

The manager seemed very nice but our waitress needs customer service training. The happy hour drinks were very good and the oyster shooter was great.

Clarkโs rude bar
Iโve been visiting Aspen on and off my whole life as a Colorado native, and I have never experienced the kind of treatment my friend and I received approximately 12:30 pm on Friday 8/8/25. The Hostesses treated us as though we were beneath them-curt, dismissive and downright rude. When we asked if we could make a reservation, we were told they donโt take them which is fine-But it wasnโt just the answer, it was the way it was delivered, dripping with condescension. The message was clear: we didnโt look posh enough to belong there! Aspen has always been a place where Iโve had wonderful experiences and warm welcomes, but this ruined that image!!!
Absolutely fantastic in every way.
Food was amazing. The oysters, sashimi, scallops, shoestring fries, just everything was perfectly prepared. The pot de Crรฉme for dessert could only be better if they put the pistachio crumble on top of it. Our favorite part is that we can visit another Clark's in Austin our Houston sometime! Although we might be back here before we even leave town!
Everything was amazing at Clark's!!! We had just driven
Everything was amazing at Clark's!!! We had just driven across the Independence parkway into Aspen and were ready for a tasty late lunch. (With a few cocktails) Beginning with the hostess, to the server who poured our water, to our table server- all of the staff was so nice and all of the food we tried was delicious. The atmosphere is light, bright and fun- with a cool aquarium up front! We began with oysters- recommended by our server and the steak tartare- we didn't need both but I'm so glad we ordered them- incredibly good and fresh! I ordered the Crab Louie and my husband ordered the Tuna Salad Sandwich for our mains...not disappointed- the tuna was huge, but very delicious- served with skinny shoestring fries. My Crab Louie was just the right size and again, so tasty and fresh. We wanted to try the caviar, but we didn't, so we may have to go back for that. It was a great experience - from all of the servers to the food and the atmosphere, I would definitely recommend this restaurant!
Outstanding if you love sea food.
All line up for us and wain staff wonderful. We loved it.
Seafood was great.
The shoestring fries are dumb. Too small, makes a mess, impossible to eat. Please change them to make them edible.
Clark's is always a stop on our rotation in Aspen,
Clark's is always a stop on our rotation in Aspen, especially for happy hour. We love the espresso martinis here as well as the lobster Mac. This time we came for the Mai Tais too which were amazing. The service is always wonderful here but keep in mind it is a hot spot so you will have to wait for a table. The little tables off the bar are cozy but one of my favorite spots to hang.
This place is a vibe!! I'd recommend coming here for lunch
This place is a vibe!! I'd recommend coming here for lunch or happy hour. Pro tip--come during happy hour for half off burgers & tinis !
Great food and and service.
Love the ambiance. Would highly recommend travelers to dine there
Wow! Exceptionally Delicious & Memorable
We stay in Beaver Creek multiple times a year. This trip we decided to drive to Aspen for the day. We got to Clark's for lunch as soon as it opened. You know a restaurant is great when the line to get in is long waiting for it to open. We were seated quickly. The atmosphere is extremely comfortable and welcoming. We especially liked the sunroof above the tables, the colors on the walls and the aquarium. The menu is absolutely awesome. So many great foods to choose from. We ordered the oysters, caviar, a few salad varieties and mahi mahi. We wish we had more room in our stomachs to eat other salivating menu items. Our meal was delicious and well prepared. Even with how busy the restaurant was, our service was superb. We left pleasantly full and vowing to return on our next trip. We had an exceptionally memorable experience. Highly recommend!
Went here for lunch with the girls.
Excellent espresso martinis, the crab cake is to die for, the kale and goat cheese omelette was so rich and creamy with perfectly crunchy smashed potatoes, and you cannot forget the sourdough bread. Service from Samuel was attentive. Loved the quaint decor and it's a local lunch favorite.
My husband and I went to Clark's for our honeymoon in the
My husband and I went to Clark's for our honeymoon in the winter time. The service was great. Our waitress congratulated us on getting married and gave us a dessert on the house! The food was impeccable. The oysters were small, but they were very fresh and tasty. My husband got the grilled oysters, and I had the linguine and clams. We also shared a side of horseshoe fries. We both enjoyed every moment!
I enjoyed this restaurant.
Can't say it was amazing, but I did have a couple items that we truly enjoyed. Ichiban oysters, wedge salad and lobster roll among them. Not my favorite restaurant in Aspen but worth checking out if you are a fish or oyster lover.
My favorite all round restaurant in Aspen.
I love the Octopus. The crab salad is refreshing with a lot of crab add avocado. The branzino is divine but save room for dessert. I would never have chosen butterscotch for dessert because it just sounds way to sweet. It is delicious and different!!! Just do it! The only thing I was not a fan of were the crab cakes. I feel like those are a flop and they could do much better.
We enjoyed a delicious lunch that came with great
We enjoyed a delicious lunch that came with great recommendations. Servers are very helpful and service was fast. Our oysters were fresh and delicious with all the added toppings. We even ordered another round since they were so tasty! East coast oysters were definitely our favorites! Will be returning on my next trip to Aspen.
Best cole slaw in Aspen
The cole slaw that comes with the lobster roll is fantastic because it was so fresh tasting, and the seasoning and dressing were superb.
HUGE fan of Clark's!!! I've frequented the Austin location
HUGE fan of Clark's!!! I've frequented the Austin location and discovered the Aspen location last summer. It's definitely a must when visiting!! It seems as if Clark's may be one of the only true Oyster Bars in Aspen -- if you've been to Clark's before, this location boasts the same quality and lovely experience as any of the other locations. Of course the oysters are AMAZING! The bread they bring to the table is so mouth watering delicious Also a big fan of their Lobster Roll. They don't have a ton of none seafood option for decent meals except a Burger. TIP WHEN VISITING WITH KIDS: you can order a bacon grilled cheese sandwich and it's made on their delicious sourdough. Huge hit for my kids when we visit! They also have a lovely bar and delicious cocktail menu + a bomb Happy Hour special (50 cent oysters and half off cocktails)! Great spot for a meal or just to sit and enjoy a drink and company at the bar.
We randomly stopped here for lunch today and were able to
We randomly stopped here for lunch today and were able to walk right in without a reservation. All of the staff from the host to our server were incredibly nice and attentive. The restaurant has an upscale bar in Nantucket-vibe and the menu has a lot of great options. We had amazing Bloody Mary's (they are light and go down fast), fresh oysters, and then I had the crab cake (it was perfect and not full of breading like most - the sauce complemented it very well) and my husband the linguini mussel dish. Everything was top notch - we look forward to our next visit.
The food is great and service to match.
When you're in Aspen don't miss this location when looking for a choice to dine.
Never in the history of take out have I had a better
Never in the history of take out have I had a better experience In Aspen CO. I normally eat there, food is phenomenal. We ordered to go, as we just had a baby and my wife was craving crab mac and cheese, awesome! I showed up 5 mins before they said it would be ready, they had me wait at the bar where the very friendly bar tender Elliot had me dialed with a beer. Very good crew working.
My Favorite in Aspen
This is a great spot in Aspen - fresh seafood, good service and good people-watching. Definitely try the oysters and the chowder is pretty darned good. We also had the linguini and clams.
Fabulous food and service ! Can't wait to go back !!!! When
Fabulous food and service ! Can't wait to go back !!!! When you're in Aspen definitely visit Clarks and they have a wonderful happy hour !
leave hungry
The place is great but I am so disappointed when I go as I love the crab cake but prior to Covid it was a nice large size, well it has shrunk about 35%, it's puny and the "salad" is real tiny too, I leave hungry.! The price stayed the same.....
Great service, food was excellent and ambiance was
Great service, food was excellent and ambiance was amazing!! Definitely recommend oysters and claim chowder!
Every time we come to Aspen this is our favorite lunch spot
Every time we come to Aspen this is our favorite lunch spot after snowboarding. Staff and food are always on point. Food is delicious. HAVE FO COME HERE WHEN YOU COME TO ASPEN. Casual lunch in perfection!
Always a winner!! Amazing array of oysters.
The complimentary house bread is delicious. The red snapper on a bed of grits is my new favorite discovery here but a really well prepared fresh piece of fish is never a bad idea.
We came here for an afternoon snack and some drinks and we
We came here for an afternoon snack and some drinks and we loved the vibe here. Coming from south Florida, we really appreciated the nautical decor and interior this place had. We sat by the bar and were happy with the service. The fried oysters were a hit. Also loved the anchovy asparagus salad with the lemon zest. 10/10 would recommend!
Amazing.
The vibe, the service, the food it's out of this world. You have to go here if you are in Aspen. Go early, it gets crowded and line of people waiting to get in. We had a ton of oysters with champagne and then we got lobster rolls (best I've ever had), and bloody Mary's were also delicious. Others got a few different things and the truffle shoestring fries are to die for. Highly recommend this place.
Fun and trendy.
The best fresh fish and always a great scene and be seen. Hard to get in sometimes but worth the wait
Put this on the top of the list! The fish was so fresh and
Put this on the top of the list! The fish was so fresh and was some of the best linguine and clam sauce I have ever tasted! I got the jalapeรฑos on the side and they are able to accommodate. The shells and crab were baked perfectly. The oysters were small and cold and would have even ordered more! Make sure to make a reservation well in advance as they sell out quickly. The only thing I wouldn't re order was the red snapper ceviche as it was actually pretty sweet instead of a classic limey ceviche but the other apps were delicious! The lobster roll was cold but came with hot butter. The key like pie had such unique yummy additions to it I loved it! The whole building makes you feel like you are up on the east coast and not in snowy Aspen, it was 10/10 overall.
I love this place and will come here often when I'm in
I love this place and will come here often when I'm in town! You can have oysters from all over the east and west coast in one sitting, the red snapper ceviche was AMAZING, happy hour burgers are great. Can't say enough good things about this place
Great oyster!
Mostly a good experience. Fun decor. Attentive and quality service. Raw and baked oysters were great. I really liked the linguine with clams, my wife did not. The snapper and trout entrees were good (but literally forgettable). I might return.
Food was incredible.
Great ambiance and drinks and good service. We sat at the bar and it was a great experience. Would definitely be back. We had the bib lettuce salad lobster roll and shrimp cocktail

Scrumptious food,ambience is to die for,the quality of the food and service incomparable.
Outstanding in every aspect.
This is the best restaurant in every aspect, if you like seafood it is definitely the place to be. Best food, freshest seafood, amazing service. Just great. ๐ You have to go when visiting Aspen.
Perfect New Yearโs Day lunch
Stopped here while shopping in Aspen - didnโt have a reservation but managed to get seated at the bar. Atmosphere was great, very busy and we probably wouldnโt have got a table if we had arrived half an hour later. Great wine list. Delicious bowl of chilli. Very happy to have found it!
Great food & fun atmosphere
We had not researched lunch spots and just popped into Clarkes on the off chance the had a table. We were seated immediately, delicious fresh sourdough to nibble on and the best crab cake my husband had ever had. I ordered the clam linguine which was truly excellent. Lots of families and couples eating so a good buzz. Would recommend.
Good value
Very good food. Service too. Arrived just after 1:pm. There was no wait for a table. Started with a wedge salad,which had pork belly. WalkIng distace to hotels, shops, ski lift.
Won't Return
I'm a retired hotelier with 40 years experience in luxury hotels and am shocked at our experience. The attitude of our server ("Dale F" according to the credit card receipt) was a combination of resentful and indifferent. We didn't do anything to provoke such an attitude and it made no sense to us that she would act in such a manner. We spent over $500 for dinner and did not receive as much as a thank you. All dishes very tasty and well prepared. Clams with linguini, crab cakes, swordfish, wedge salad, shrimp Louie, chowder and oysters were all very good. Drinks way over priced. Least expensive cab by the glass was $30! Management ought to take a look at that. Lots of very good places with excellent service in Aspen. We won't be returning to Clarke's.
Go for the Food, not the Cocktails!
Would have given a higher rating to this quaint restaurant, but would give them 1-star on our martinis and how they handled our feedback. For a $22 drink, this restaurant served what I would call the "kids menu" of cocktails. Very measly pour on all three of our martinis. When we commented to staff, they said "we have had other complaints, but that is how management does it". Then, a manager came by to explain our exact 3 oz. pour (half the glass), not in any way to apologize or make it right. Don't you love it when you give feedback and you are told how wrong you are?!! Ambiance was nice, a bit dark. Lobster roll was large and delicious. My octopus was good, though salty. Asparagus very generous and tasty, nicely prepared with sardines. Salads were shareable and fresh. My advice -- go here for the food and SKIP the overpriced, underserved cocktails.
Clarks hit the spot!
After a day exploring the town and hiking through some trails up the mountain. Clarks hit the spot! My overall experience was a 9/10 and will definitely be back. The atmosphere is great and met this nice couple at the bar. We stat at a high top table for lunch and ordered oysters, a cup of New England clam chowder and split the burger. The oysters were tasty and the perfect size. Next the clam chowder was flavorful and came with a size of oyster crackers the chowder was filling and perfect temperature. The burger was a good choice to split after the oysters and the clam chowder. We finished our late lunch around 4:45pm and chatted with some people at the bar. It definitely starts to get busy right around 5pm recommend making reservations ahead of time.
So glad we stopped in for lunch
We walking the street looking for a lunch place when we happened upon Clark's. Oh, what a lucky break. Gabriel helped us pick out some oysters, chowder was delicious, and the octopus was spectacular. We sat outside and people/dog watched while sipping a first-class cocktail. Great find on our first trip to Aspen.
Clarks in Aspen is a must visit !
Last meal of a wonderful 10 day driving trip and it was the best meal by far. We both had fish which were excellent. And app was an amazing steak tar tar. Only criticism was the signature shoe string fries. Almost impossible to eat since they are so thin and crispy. Mentioned to waitress. She said they do get a lot of complaints about that but itโs signature side of Clarkโs so not changing. But a small blemish on an otherwise wonderful meal.
What a great meal! Clark's seems to be one of Aspen's best
What a great meal! Clark's seems to be one of Aspen's best high energy casual restaurants. Food was great, people were all so nice - the crowd was beautiful and full of energy! You could tell it was well heeled guests and healthy happy locals! We kept it simple - great chowder - awesome yet not heavy. Loved the celery crunch (ok, could have used a few more clams)!!! But - delicious. Crudo - excellent and interestingly good presentation, chunks, not slices - we loved it! Wedge was a standard wedge, but we got 3 great shrimp with it. Delightful server - everyone really was just so nice - a fun experience - dekiciouand approachable food. Ok to Gucci up or go apres ski in a hoodie too! Lord of love (and great food)!
Every time I am in Aspen I come here.
And every time it is amazing. We happened to be there during happy hour so we tried the 1/2 off burger. Tasted great! The service is fast and on point. I like the vibe here, it's sophisticated yet down to earth. I was surprised the hostess didn't have availability when their were many empty tables the entire time we were there, but so be it. The bar area is super tight, yet somehow it's always a good time.
Super cute restaurant and cozy atmosphere.
Obviously it's expensive but the espresso martini was super delicious. Shoe string fries were literally the tiniest fries they were more like a topping to a salad but I recommend getting a dish like mussels and you can use have the fries in the sauce or top your pasta with them lol. Service was amazing and they had these amazing sweaters on which I believe was the restaurants merch.
We always enjoy Clark's Oyster Bar!
We always enjoy Clark's Oyster Bar. The clam chowder, shrimp cocktail, crab Mac and cheese, hamburgers and clam linguine are our favorites. It has an airy, modern, New England atmosphere with the high quality seafood to back it up. Service is always friendly and attentive too.
