White House Tavern

Aspen


As American as a crispy chicken sandwich and kale salad, the White House is a premier lunch stop with a casually elegant atmosphere. Sit in booths, at the bar or outside to savor a choice of gourmet sandwiches that are even more delicious than they sound. No reservations, so arrive early or be prepared to wait.
