Frommer's Review
A funky rustic tavern with personality to spare, Woody Creek is a true local hangout, and a favorite of late gonzo journalist (and one-time local) Hunter S. Thompson. A century old and serving as a bar and grill since 1980, the tavern is now wallpapered with old photos, posters, news clippings, and other paraphernalia, plenty of it relating to Thompson. You'll find a good selection of well-prepared tavern food, including barbecued pork ribs, thick steaks, and burgers (made with low-fat Colorado limousine beef); plus fresh tilapia, organic salads, vegetarian (and organic when possible) soups, as well as excellent Mexican food, hot and spicy just like I like it, which goes well with the house-specialty drink -- fresh-squeezed lime-juice margaritas made with 100% blue-agave tequila.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
