Gold Pan
Judy S.

Stopped in to the Gold Oan Saloon-boosting the longest liquor license West of the Mississippi. This super cool saloon offers a nice array of beverages (cider, martinis, beer/winw) and a good assortment of food. Definitely elevated usual pub fare. The vibe is mountain casual with interesting artifacts The service warm and friendly and we never had to wonder if someone would be by to offer another round. We dined in French onion soup and salad, Cuban Sammy, lamb French dip and a burger. Everyone in the group was impressed and left with happy bellies.

My service experience at the Gold Pan began when I sat down in the front cafe at the only table available. Then I waited. And Waited. And then I began to bus the table. I began pouring water from used glasses into the dog bowl. Then I waited. Then I fed my dog a couple of fries from used plates. Then I waited. I stacked up the empty glassware and waited. More fries fed to dog. Then I stacked plates. More waiting. Finally someone realized the restaurant had outdoor seating, whisking away the used plates then wondering what I'd like. Management responded: "we cannot read your mind. You need to keep us informed." Seriously? Your staff cannot keep up with new customers vs old? Perhaps you need a manager that knows the restaurant business? They could train waiters instead of writing snarky replies? Order of stuffed jalapeños appeared right out of the grocery freezer section. What no lame reply about crappy food? I had a decent cider.

We came in during happy hour- around 3:30, I think, and it was busy! One of the few places open in the afternoon for happy hour and I think a local favorite. It's definitely a bar atmosphere. We had some drinks off HH and salads (both good- though served packed in small vessels- making them a little tough to eat) and then split the lamb french dip, while our kiddo had the chicken tenders. We were all happy about our food choices. It might be a little pricey, but I feel like everything in Breckenridge is these days. Fries are yum. Service was friendly and on top of it.

We loved the Gold Pan Saloon. Our waitress was amazing and our food order came quick. We tried a couple of their red house wines from tap. It was a perfect semi- sweet wine. They had a happy hour and we ordered a pork slider and a chicken slider. They were very good and nicely presented. For dinner, I ordered the Cobb Salad with chicken and my wife had the Burrata and a bowl of French onion soup. When our dishes arrived, I had to double check to make sure I wasn't at a 5 star restaurant. The dishes were presented as such. The flavors of our food were just as top notch. Check out my pictures. I would totally recommend this bar restaurant for an amazing meal. The decor isn't 5 star but reminds you of being in a saloon from the 1800's. This is actually why we went here. We love history. For us, this was the perfect mix of history and amazing food.

Favorite watering hole in Breck! They have my Girl Dinner, too! Love it . Thank you, Pan Fam.

Cozy and quaint tiny spot on the main strip. Great live music playing! Teeny saloon doors that are adorable! The food is delish and the drinks are fun and unique! Great place to decompress after skiing, even though it's crowded - the service is fast!

Cool vibe, great drinks but service just ok. Wanted to check out the oldest bar in Breckenridge so stopped in just for drinks. We enjoyed the drinks but service was mediocre.

Dive Bar Vibes

Fun Dive Bar just steps away from the slopes in Breckenridge. We had a great girls night out at the Gold Pan Saloon! Came in around 6pm on a Saturday after finishing a wine tasting next door. We heard there would be "live music". Apparently that means one guys with a guitar. The chips and queso were good and the drinks were strong so we stayed a while. Around 8pm, the musician put away his guitar and played his saxophone. We're not big Kenny G fans, so we left soon after. We had so much fun while we were there though.

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.

We chose Bird and Cow mainly because of their quoted wait time on Yelp. It was Spring Break in…read moreBreckenridge and everywhere was packed--Eric's Restaurant had a 2-hour wait--so when Bird and Cow showed a 10-minute wait for our party of five (including a very hungry 17-year-old), we added ourselves immediately. When we arrived, there was a medical situation with a guest, and an ambulance came to assist. Obviously, that takes priority, and we were patient and understanding. However, after the situation cleared, we continued waiting another 20 minutes. During that time, several groups who arrived after us were seated first. When I politely asked the host about our status, I was told those groups were seated because they were smaller parties. That didn't appear to be accurate, and when I mentioned that, the response quickly became rude and dismissive. At that point, we decided there was no reason to stay and left for dinner elsewhere. The next day, we ate at Tin Plate Pizza--fantastic food and excellent service. Ironically, while walking past Bird and Cow afterward, we noticed their kitchen area through an open back door, and it did not appear clean or well-kept. In hindsight, we're glad things worked out the way they did--but overall, this was a frustrating experience driven by inaccurate wait times and poor customer service.

***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.

Okay yum! This place has a great, unique menu with tons of delicious options. I had the carne asada…read morenachos, and as a self-proclaimed nacho connoisseur, they were pretty dang good (they could've been warmer, but I wasn't worried about it). The drink menu also has a lot of fun, reasonably priced options. The espresso martini is a must, especially on a snow day. 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!

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.

Service: poor, place was half empty (we came early) but after getting seated we had to wait about 15 minutes to have someone take our drink order.

We were served, finished our meal and they still hadn't gotten their meal even though they sat down about five minutes after us. End of meal we had to ask twice for boxes and the check and finally had to chase down our server to get both. Food: very mixed bag here. Pro's: salads good, hummus wrap good, pizza good. Cons: onion rings massively over fried and tasted frozen, not fresh. Nachos had barely any toppings and the chicken was in a ball in the corner of the plate; not spread out evenly. Burger was burnt badly and unedible. Eric's has been a go-to staple for us for 10 years, not any more.
