The restaurant was pretty busy on the Monday of Labor Day weekend, and the service was great. I went with the chopped brisket sandwich with fries. The brisket had great flavor and was nice and juicy. My favorite sauce was the Sweet Mild, while the Carolina Reaper sauce paired surprisingly well with the fries. The jalapeño potato salad is also another great option for a side. If you haven't already hiked Silver Dollar Lake or driven Guanella Pass, you should definitely check them out. Guanella Pass is especially beautiful this time of year with the aspens starting to change colors. Definitely a great stop after exploring the area! #cleanyourplate

I got a brisket plate with green beans and mac n cheese + sweet tea and they all hit the spot! Good portions as well, I appreciated how creamy the mac n cheese was.

This place is worth a stop for lunch or after a good hike. There are a few bar seats by the window (so not a full sit down restaurant) and I was to get one without issue and line moves fast, they are efficient and provide great customer service! Visited a couple of weeks ago around lunch time. August 2026. I'd return! Keep up the great work.

Of their ciders we had, my favorite was the hibiscus cider and the peach cider, but they also have a good selection beers if ciders aren't your thing. For food we got their Ruben and their Flat-iron Steak. The Ruben was awesome, the sauce was a bit on the sweeter side, but it tasted good while drinking the ciders. But the highlight for me was their flat-iron steak, its a simple cut but it was one of the best steaks I've had in recent memory. I'm not kidding when I say it was on par if not better than a a lot of the steakhouses I've been to, it was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and comes with a solid chimichurri sauce. TLDR: great local tavern with great food and good selection of drinks.

We stopped at Clear Creek Cidery & Eatery because we liked their outdoor seating. The weather was perfect for enjoying a nice, shaded outdoor lunch. Our group of six all ordered water for drinks. The server brought us filled glasses and then told us if we wanted any refills, we could get them ourselves from the big cooler jug outside. Um...okay. The rest of the service was pretty much the same -- apathetic. We ordered a flight of beer for the four adults at the table. It was about $30 and came with about 15 small glasses of cider, one of each flavor they served. We shared it and got to sample everything that way. I ordered the Cider Burger (medium rare) with fries as my side. It came out medium well, which instantly ruins and dries out any good burger experience. The fries were tepid as well. I don't think we even saw our server again until the end, and even then we had to wait for awhile for the check. So, overall, It was just an okay experience. If I'm in the Idaho Springs area again, I wouldn't return to Clear Creek Cidery & Eatery. I'd definitely explore other options.

We laughed reading all the cool signs and stickers from all around. Lots to enjoy as you partake in an adult bevvie. Just one guy running the bar and he was amazing. If you're looking for a place where the locals hang out and everyone knows everyone, this is it. We had a great time, even though we were new. We def will be back.

It has that classic local bar feel - relaxed, welcoming, and full of personality. Most of the crowd seemed to be locals, aside from us and a couple of other tables grabbing a later dinner. That's usually a good sign. The drink selection had plenty of options, and the atmosphere made it easy to settle in and stay awhile. We kept it simple with a few neat pours of whiskey and enjoyed soaking in the vibe. We didn't try the food this visit, but after seeing what was coming out of the kitchen, we'll definitely be back to do that next time. If you're looking for a laid-back local spot in Idaho Springs, The Vintage Moose is worth a stop.

The food came out quickly, tasted good, and the service was fast for most of our visit. The only things that stood out were that we were seated upstairs while we had a stroller with our toddler. Our server headed upstairs without asking if we needed a hand carrying it, or an elevator, which felt a little odd. It wasn't a huge deal, but a quick offer to help would have gone a long way. The only other hiccup was at the end of the meal. Everything moved quickly until we were ready to pay. we waited about 15 minutes for our check, which felt a little longer than expected. Overall, those were pretty minor issues compared to the rest of the experience. Great vibes, good food, and we'd definitely come back the next time we're in Breckenridge.

This was a cool little spot on the inside and had great atmosphere within nostalgic feel. We sat down and ordered pretty quickly. Our appetizer came out relatively fast. But several groups of people came in after us and it took a very long time to receive our food. We waited for the better part of an hour, we were actually getting ready to pay for our appetizer and drinks and leave when the food finally came out. My friends both ordered the bison burger, and that they said it was very dry and overcooked. I had an elk sausage that was in a hotdog bun covered with green chili. The bun was so soggy that I could not pick it up, I had to eat with a fork. I believe that there were only two people to take care of the entire place and I think that they got overwhelmed. I can imagine this is a cool spot to have some beers and see some live music, but the food was average at best and it just took forever to receive it.
