    Frisco Festbier marzen
    Mike G.

    We love this brewery. Great beer in a cozy environment. Like on previous visits, my wife had two pints of the Mt. Royal Red Lager. I tasted the OMG Kilt Kenny stout, which I had liked previous times in, but it didn't wow me as much as the Night Skiing Milk Stout, so I stuck with two of those. Interestingly, two other beers we had liked a year or so ago, the Frisco Festbier and the Kingdom Kolsch, didn't impress us this time, so our choices were clear. I'm guessing we may stop in again before we leave end of week.

    Flights come in 6 heavy pours

    Good selection- heavy on the IPAs but definitely worth it to try a pale ale or 2 Nice staff No QR code or menus you can take outside- so take a look at the stuff on the screen at the bar. The flights come in 6 HEAVY pours, so make sure to pick things to try that you actually think you'll like. Bathroom code: 4200

    The meal of the mountain gods.

    Two words: BREAKFAST BURRITO. Pick your meat - pulled pork, brisket, bacon - add some eggs, shredded hash browns, and top with queso and green chili. Side of insane black beans and you're set for your entire day. I would literally drive from out of state for this beast of breakfast.

    What a nice local craft Brewery
    Michael S.

    There's a reason why this place is so highly rated. Ambiance is a live band playing not too loudly, the service is incredible (very knowledgeable about the Seattle craft brewing scene!) and courteous, and the beer is actually good! For food - they sell chips and beef jerky, but helpful tip - you can bring food from anywhere in town for dinner / lunch in case you wanted to get a beer with your meal!

    Chicken nacos!

    We went here for dinner and enjoyed some bbq and drinks! The food was quite good! The bartender provided great recommendations. We enjoyed some live music. A fun place to visit with great vibes!

    Back entrance-- parking available & next to the yummy Mimi and Pin Churros

    Great hangout spot whether on your own, with family, or friends. They have good music & games you can take to the tables. Super dog friendly and you are free to bring in your food from nearby restaurants. Awesome staff with a variety of beers listed from light to dark on menu. I've come by several times and love it here. They don't sell wine or other kinds of 21+ drinks, but they do have options for kids/those who want a soda or lemonade!

    Flights are heavy and delicious
    Bethany M.

    Nondescript brewery with good variety of IPAs and mix of ales and lagers. Large pours in 6-glass flight. Many of the beers have floral and herbal taste. Small outdoor area in back. Bathroom has code and is moderately clean. Casual spot for unique beers.

    Flight of 6 x 4oz pours. A barleywine and an imperial stout to boot!
    John H.

    Imagine a brewery. Imagine a brewery's off-site taproom. Imagine a brewery's off-site taproom with one bartender (motivated and moving quickly, but perhaps less help than might be needed when it gets busy - which it does). And then imagine a surprising set of beers that are all brewed by the namesake brewery off-site. The standout for me was the barleywine - you don't find them often these days, and this was quite a nice one. The ginger cider was also quite brilliant. The remainder were good, not great, but you cannot knock everything out of the park. The imperial stout had nice body and flavor, but there was just a touch of fusile alcohol in it that was minimally offputting. I drank them all, appreciated the time and space, and was glad I stopped in. It can be a bit loud, so be aware if you have sensitive ears or are trying to have a conversation with more than 3 people.

    He pours your beer, tells you what's available, reasons with the little girl that "yes snow should be cold" all around 10
    Ruth L.

    Lucked into the place and so glad we did! Shopping and walking the streets talking about where to get a beverage, the guy waiting at the crosswalk recommended to said the beer was cold lots of variety. Well he wasn't kidding great variety of drinks alcohol and non, TVs for the big kids games, games for the littles. The bar tender is beyond knowledgeable if what he has on tap what you may like may not like and will give you a taste!!!! Yes I rambled on but couldn't help myself! Will be back by when we're up from Georgia next. Great job

    Flight of beer

    Had a great time at this brewery. Bartenders were very cool and fun to talk to. I had a flight of beers. My boyfriend had a Cuban sandwich and said it was excellent. Street corn is a good side to get with any sandwich.

Walking in on a cold February day, the mood and ambiance were warm and inviting. The downstairs bar was lively, and the wood ceiling and decor definitely gave off a classic aged lodge feel. We were seated upstairs per our Yelp reservations. A collection of canteens hung on the wall, which sparked a fun conversation and history lesson for my twins. Since they're part of the CamelBak and Stanley cup generation, they hadn't seen anything like them before. My son was impressed by the size of the kids' burger, and the fries were great. The rest of us had the NY Strip. I'd say it was good, but not great--though I did appreciate the blackened seasoning and the chimichurri. The grilled asparagus, however, was simply fantastic. The showstopper was the upside-down apple pie with what seemed to be homemade vanilla ice cream. Both were generous portions and kindly comped by our server for my birthday. I ordered my standard Ranch Water, though it unfortunately didn't come in their traditional canteen cup. Overall, it's a great spot. I look forward to visiting again on our next trip to Colorado.

    ***TREVOR NEEDS A RAISE***…read more I had an awesome experience at Breckenridge Tap House. Right when we walked in the whole place just had a super relaxed vibe. There was no wait at all, which is pretty rare in Breckenridge, especially during ski season. We got seated right away and everything felt easy from the start. It was the kind of place where you can just kick back after a day on the mountain and grab some good food. Our waiter Trevor was an absolute chiller. Seriously one of the most laid-back and friendly servers I've had in a while. He came over right away, brought us waters, and just had a super good attitude the whole time. Instead of rushing through everything like some places do, he actually talked with us and made the whole experience feel way more personal. One thing we really appreciated was how cool he was about the menu. My son wanted to order off the kids menu and Trevor had no issue with it at all. He didn't make it weird or complicated, he just said no problem and took the order. Little things like that go a long way and made the whole meal way smoother. The food also came out really fast and everything we got was solid. Trevor kept checking in at the perfect times and made sure our waters stayed full without being annoying about it. He also talked with us about skiing and the conditions around Breckenridge, which was cool because we had just been out on the mountain. It felt like talking to someone who actually enjoys the town and the people coming through. The best part was honestly after we left. We accidentally forgot something at the table and didn't realize until we were already outside. When we came back, Trevor was literally waiting with it ready to give it back to us. That kind of thing doesn't happen everywhere. Overall the service was great, the food came out fast, and Trevor was an absolute chiller the entire time. I'd definitely come back here again.

The service was very quick and friendly, and I was honestly surprised by the speed as we stopped in on a very busy Saturday afternoon. I know there are a lot of great options in Breck, but if you're looking for a casual hangout with good food and drinks, I'd recommend stopping in!

Following the flight, I enjoyed a pint of the Cream Ale. My wife liked the Marzen and the Mangy Moose the best, and she enjoyed two pints of the Marzen. Employees and customers are all very friendly. A definite stop when we're in Breckenridge.

They have 2 locations, their original is just outside of town off Highway 9…read moreby the recycling center and their newer location is on Main Street walkable if you are staying close to the center town. We fell in love with their original location years ago. Their beer is fantastic. The service and atmosphere, though, is what keeps us coming back. The Broken Compass team works at both locations. Claire was our favorite team member but everyone on the team does a great job at inviting you to feel welcome. They're amazing. My favorite beer is their coconut porter. It has a hint of fresh coconut and is a lighter side of porter, not too syrupy. It's well balanced and might I dare say--it's perfect. That said, I haven't had a beer here that I didn't like. They have a great layout at the original location, though you wouldn't think it being in a commercial warehouse. There's a big garage door that opens in the back to outdoor seating. There's this amazing mural in the back of the building. The crowd there all seem to know each other which I am amazed at each time we visit. It's a more local vibe at the original location than the more touristy accessible location on Main Street. The original location has a super cozy vibe, lots of board games (or bring your own). It's a great place to hangout for a few hours. They also have a shuttle that takes patrons back to Main Street. Just call or ask the crew for more details. Again, favorite brewery in Breck. Thanks Claire and team! September 2024

The food is slightly above average; the real attraction is the great selection of beers on tap. We can say that the Brewer's Mac n Cheese, Rainbow Trout, and Wild Game Meatloaf are worth ordering - well crafted, generous portions, and good tucker after a day of skiing. The burgers are standard pub fare (it's too bad they dropped the elk burger which was a definite winner!) BB has a phenomenal assemblage of beers which cater to a variety of palates. Our go-to's are the Avalanche Amber and Juice Drop Hazy but you really can't go wrong with their rotation. We do want to credit the staff. They really do make the BB experience what it is - they maintain great attitudes and deliver exceptional service while taking care of a full house of thirsty apres skiers. BB has a well-worn atmosphere and could probably use a refresh but is otherwise an inviting environment because of the care and consideration of the servers and bartenders. Any visit to Breck is incomplete without hoisting a few at BB!

Was greeted promptly upon entering and directed to the bar to place a to go order. I had limited time because had to catch a bus. The ambiance was fun with TV screens around to watch various sporting events. I was watching A&M get beat by Miami while waiting for my food order to be prepared. They have the silver brewery tanks where they brew their beer on site behind the bar area. They had a bunch of unique brews but I am not a beer person. I found a seat at the bar and the bartender came to take my order. I mentioned that I was on a time crunch with having to catch the bus in approximately 35 minutes and just wanted to check to see if the kitchen could accommodate my schedule. I was a bit taken aback when he responded that he couldn't guarantee anything and the electricity could go out.... So I was going to pass on ordering, but then he said we better get my order in then. So I put in an order for fish and chips. Then he said the kitchen should not have a problem accommodating that time window. He brought me some water and I enjoyed watching the football game while I waited for my to-go order. The food was ready in plenty of time for me to make it to the bus stop. It was packed nicely and came in a paper bag. I was able to enjoy it at the bus stop. Fish and Chips with Avalanche Ale battered white fish, fries, tartar. The fish has a nice batter but was a bit bland and could have used more salt or other seasoning. It really needed the tartar sauce to complete the flavor profile. The fries were light and crispy. Overall the food was what I would expect from a brewery. Nice place to go in breck to enjoy beer and food while watching a sporting event.
