    Jimmy's

    Jimmy's is a soulful tequila-, crab- and steakhouse with attitude that attracts a very A-list crowd. Settle into a booth and check out the writing on the wall in the main dining room. No, we're not being cryptic: Jimmy's idea of decorating is covering the walls with guest graffiti – bring a pen. You're paying a king's ransom to dine with the rich and famous, so you may as well leave your mark.

    The perpetually packed bar serves a cheaper menu and 105 types of tequila and mescal. Thursday nights are devoted to the crab, with king crab legs going for a song. It hosts a salsa night on Saturdays.

    Pitkin County Steakhouse

    The most popular and down-to-earth steakhouse in town. It does prime dry-aged steaks, prime rib and, to quote one satisfied customer, 'the best fucking crab legs in the world!' Set in the basement of a Hopkins Ave complex, it has an open kitchen with tables scattered about the just-dark-enough environs and an iced-down fish selection for you to check out as you glide to your table.

    During the low season the dining room is only open Thursday to Saturday, but its adjacent tavern is always open for business.
