Red Onion

March 31, 2007, the Red Onion closed its doors, but not for the last time. New owners have promised to to keep it as a restaurant. The Red Onion was Aspen's oldest watering hole opening in 1892 and became one of Aspen’s first venues for après-ski and late-night entertainment that famously once included a performance by Billie Holiday.
