Stopped into Highside Taphouse in Breckenridge with my girlfriend on a whim because I smelled…read moresmoking meat from the street. Naturally, I assumed brisket. I was wrong. It was Diego's calves. Diego, the operations manager, is built like a man who has never once skipped leg day and apparently runs a strict calf inspection program at the door. Nobody gets into Highside without adequate lower leg development, or inspection. I don't make the rules. Diego does. He examined the situation, measured the meat, and reluctantly allowed us entry. Once inside, things somehow became less normal. The smoked wings were absolutely unbelievable. Crispy, smoky, delicious, and worth whatever bizarre calf based TSA screening Diego is running out front. Then there's Rose. Rose is an outstanding bartender who loves Nickelback with a passion normally reserved for religion, family, and oxygen. Mention Nickelback and her eyes light up. Sing Nickelback at the bar and you have apparently entered into a legally binding friendship with her. So there I was, three beers deep, eating smoked wings, staring respectfully at Diego's magnificent calves, and singing "LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH" with Rose in a Breckenridge taproom while my girlfriend presumably reconsidered several major life decisions. Highside is a magical place. 12/10. Great beer. Great wings. Great beer again. Unreasonable calves. Questionable music but rose is cool. Came for the smoked meat. Stayed because apparently the smoked meat was Diego. Protect his at all costs.

This review is essentially a conglomeration of all of the different times that I've been there over the past several years and the most recent visit was no different than the others . How's that for consistency ! Anyway, we stopped in last Tuesday for a friend's birthday celebration. It's a cool little neighborhood type Pub that is typically loaded with locals. The beer selection is good and munchie and food selection is pretty good too. You're not going to sit down here for a 4 hour or five course dinner by any means but the munchies are on par for a decent little watering hole. I hope it never changes!

We were looking for a hidden gem in Breckenridge and stumbled across the recently opened Canary…read morespeakeasy! I won't divulge how to find this place because that was half the battle and made it worth the wait. We ultimately were gathered in the hotel lobby to take us back to the speakeasy - the welcome drink was a super nice touch! The speakeasy itself is fairly tiny - seats about 30? It felt super swanky and loved all the wood - felt like we were somewhere back in the 30s. The cocktail connoisseur behind the bar, Danny, makes you a custom made drink based your preferences. They can of course make standard drinks but what fun is that? In their menu, they have a list of the most popular liquors (gin, vodka, whiskey, rum, etc.) and then flavors that typically pair with those liquors. For example, I wanted some sort of whiskey sour and asked to make it with peach or ginger flavors. My husband asked for a gin drink with crème de violet and got a delicious play on an Aviation cocktail with aloe and rosemary simple syrup. Overall, a little bit of a hiccup to find it and get in, but the experience was awesome! Was a little scared when there weren't any prices on the menu, but for the overall experience of getting a custom crafted cocktail, it felt worth it. Follow the canary!

We never figured out the supposed "clues" to finding the place and after a few minutes someone asked if we needed help and it happened to be the host of the Canary bar. I just wish we'd had a little more time but had to leave due to dinner plans. But the atmosphere, the speakeasy setup, and the service were absolutely outstanding. Easily the best and most unique cocktail experience we've ever had. We were a little worried that there were no prices on the menu, but our bill was actually very reasonable especially considering the overall experience. We only had a couple appetizers but the food was outstanding and also quite unique. I definitely recommend making a reservation and checking it out.

No complaints from us but he still went out of his way to make sure we were doing well. Also the food was incredible, great bbq and also great beer! Can't wait to go back, highly recommend

Great crowd and we had a lively time. 2 nights later we went back for the same BYO Old Fashion and I gave the bartender (different from prior visit) the ingredients; Rye, angistino bitters, orange bitters and thats all! Over a single large block of ice. They were out of Ang bitters (???) so i substituted walnut bitters. It happens, no biggy. They arrived at the table and were over small chipped ice. Wrong for a bourbon drink. She said they were out of blocks (8:00???) It was full of simple syrup- yuck! I discreetly took it over to the bar and asked what was in it, it was terribly sweet and not what we ordered. She said she puts simple syrup in them. I told her that is not what we ordered in the BUILD YOUR OWN. And asked her to remake it. She stormed to the table and said she would have to charge me for the new drink since that is how they make them. I asked her isn't it a build your own? And said forget it just throw the damn thing away. I'm done. I had nothing and we left. Be careful to explain it is build your own and you get to tell them how to make it.

Our server, Grayson was clearly super familiar with everything on the menu and at the resort, he was very friendly and made some great recommendations. We started with some beer, and then we were told about "Wingo" Thursdays, which is exactly what it sounds like, wing specials and bingo. We didn't anticipate staying for bingo, but after trying the wings and they were so incredible, we decided to have some desserts as well and play along since we were hanging around for a bit. We got the traditional and the garlic Parmesan wings, $15 for 12 wings is a really good price and they were absolutely incredible. We also tried the tres leches bread pudding, this was quite possibly the best bread pudding I've ever had, Grayson told us they do a different one every year, I'm very happy. We came this week and not last week as it would not have been the same then! The skillet cookie was also delicious, we tried the peanut butter, which was a unique combination as usually these are served with chocolate chip cookies. Everything was five star perfection, which is super unexpected for bar food, and even more so at a ski resort. I will be prioritizing coming on Thursdays again !
