I have been visiting Breck for over 10 years now, and the restaurant scene has changed so much in the last few years – and changed for the better! Check out my new favorites, Castaway, Tin Plate Pizza and Yo Ma Ma’s Tacos for some of the best food in Summit County – and at reasonable prices too! Mimi & Pin’s is not to be missed as well. Do you have a favorite Breck spot not on the list – drop it in the comments and I will visit next time I’m in the area!

Where To Eat & Drink In Breckenridge

Mi Casa – For some reason, after a long day zipping up and down a mountain in the cold you really crave a margarita. Not sure why but I’m 100 percent okay with this weird phenomenon. At the south end of town and close to Peak 9 is Mi Casa. The bar is first-come, first-serve and can get packed for happy hour. The restaurant is rather large and great for accommodating large groups.

Castaway Cove – This Tiki Bar is right on the river (in the same building as the Mountain Blue Condo) besides fun cocktails, the food is so so good. We each made our one Poke bowl and loved it.

Tin Plate Pizza – Hands down the best pizza in town. I honestly didn’t get a great picture of the pizza because we ate it so fast.

Mimi & Pin – Even if you don’t really care for donuts or churros, you need to try Mimi and Pin – not only is this place adorable the donuts/churros are knock your socks off good.

Quandary Tequila Bistro – Next to Maggie Pond (near the Peak 9 base) you will find a fun restaurant with killer views of mountains and all the tequila you could ever need. Dog friendly too!

Ollies Pub – The OG Ollies pub is in Frisco, and they recently took over “The Dredge,” which was a restaurant on a boat (aka a mining dredge) on a pond in the middle of town. It’s pretty odd but worth a visit – great outdoor seating, a rooftop, and dog friendly too!

Yo Mama’s Cantina – Out on airport road is a FIRE Mexican restaurant. We have picked up Yo Mama’s a few times but these “Big As Yo Face Nachos” were delicious!

The Cheese Shop Breck – Looking for a yummy sandwich or to pick up some unique cheese and meats for a cheese board then head to the Cheese Shop Breck.

Kenosha Brewing Co – Live Music, huge deck, dog-friendly + frozen drinks – its a good spot.

• Modis – For dinner, make reservations at Modis. Everything on the menu is delicious; Nothing like a great glass of wine and a warm bowl of miso ramen to warm up after a day of skiing.
• The Canteen Tap House & Tavern – Amazing drinks and food – I love their margs, queso, flatbread and wings.
• The Motherloaded Tavern – For ice-cold beer and comfort food, the Motherload tavern will hit the spot. Live music daily too!
• Clint’s Bakery & Coffee House – Head downtown to Clints for a bagel, coffee and maybe a slice of cake to wake you up.
• Downstairs at Eric’s – Huge restaurant and bar with killer pizza. This is great for groups, families or watching a game. Plus there is a huge arcade. Put your name on the list then head somewhere else for drinks.

Dance – Time to Get Funky

Liquid Lounge & Cecilia’s Cocktail Bar & Nightclub – The “clubs” of Breck. Both bars will have a DJ spinning starting around 9. Cecilia’s will probably have a cover and is closer to a real club with bottle service. Liquid Lounge is a bar with a DJ and never has a cover. If I am out in Breck you will find me at Liquid Lounge.

Gold Pan Saloon – Bar that feels like a barn with a DJ – they often have live music too!
