Breckenridge Distillery Restaurant

A fan from the first purchase of a bottle for a friend. I purchased at a Costco in Chicago. He likes only beer so I kept it. Now been to this distillery 3 times and tasted almost everything at the Keystone Bacon and Bourbon Festival. This is a great design and decor inside with amazing displays of all things Bourbon and an incredible restaurant. Fun and professional staff. Now more selection than ever. Gin, Vodka in various flavors. Scotch, whiskey and Bourbon

Amazing experience. I ordered a Paloma which was incredible. Our table thoroughly enjoyed all the food we had. The smashed lamb burger was especially tasty. The service was stellar and the presentation of the drinks was beautiful. It is worth every penny

Breckenridge Distillery is reliably good. Every time we’ve visited we’ve felt like we made the perfect choice. Today we had the ribeye, the hangar steak, a few sides and cocktails. The salad was epic. Martin served us with a fun and informative personality. Everything tasted wonderful. We will always be back!

I had a great time visiting the restaurant for the first time. The staff was excellent and the food was superb! The locally sourced steak was one of the most perfect steaks I have ever had, well worth the price, which isn’t even that bad considering the quality. I learned that they change out their menu seasonally, so don’t get too attached to what you see in the reviews. There is a tasting room where you can sample and purchase their liquors attached to the restaurant. Highly recommend going here!

Simply exquisite! The food is delicious. It's perhaps a little pricey, but it's totally worth every penny. The portions are huge, perfect for sharing, and the cocktails are delicious! 100% recommended.

We ate at happy hour and then did a founders private tasting experience. Highly recommend both!! 2-3pm they have great deals for food! And Sam provided an absolutely amazing experience during our private founders tasting!

My husband was craving steak so we headed to Breckenridge Distillery. We sat at the bar and had one of the best experiences! The food was outstanding, and the drinks were fantastic. My husband enjoyed the Bison Ribeye, while I savored the Colorado Strip. Both dishes were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Shout out to Eric, for making the evening evening more enjoyable. He was very outgoing and personable with everyone who sat at the bar. We’d absolutely come back to enjoy happy hour and visit with Eric more.

Went to enjoy some Broncos vodka and ended up having some delicious happy hour food. Got there right at opening-2pm- and had reservations so seated immediately. Server efficient. Cool decor. Big open space with high ceilings, open kitchen, 2 bar areas, shopping area, tasting area. We had tots and ribs for snack food. The tots were AMAZING. Ribs had good flavor but were dry. I had a pomegranate NA drink, bf had a pear vodka drink. Both good. Bill was $45. Not bad in this day and age.

The restaurant in the distillery is undoubtedly one of my favorite spots in all of Summit County. The staff is INCREDIBLE. We have been coming here once a week recently and have never had a negative experience. Rather, the opposite - every server and bartender that we have come into contact with has been courteous, efficient and knowledgeable about the menu. The bartenders are some of the best I have come across (ever!). The menu changes seasonally, so you are never disappointed. Some of the menu items I could eat every day, though. The burger on happy hour is one of the best burgers I have EVER had... it is one of the best deals at the distillery during happy hour. You cannot skip dessert here. We did many visits and once we got the cookies, we will never skip a dessert here again - they are perfectly curated to and a visit here.

My wife and I have had two date nights at the distillery over the years. This place is simply amazing! What I love the most about it is that it's a five star food experience without the five star pretentiousness. Like Breckenridge in general, the distillery has a friendly and laid-back vibe that just fits us so well! If you want the pretense, go to Vail or Aspen! But, if you want incredible food, a killer, ski town environment, and super friendly staff, this is your spot! We started our evening with the pork belly buns, a smoky old fashioned for me and a Pom Collins for my wife. The buns were phenomenal. Perfectly cooked sticky buns and pork belly. The smoky old fashioned was top drawer as well and I love how they smoke it in the mini whisky barrel. So cool! For the entree, we decided to share a 14 ounce Pichana steak with charred sweet potatoes and the sticky charred broccoli as our sides. Now, I'm super picky when it comes to steak because, at home, I'm typically smoking butcher shop quality steaks. So, don't take it with a grain of salt when I say this was one of the best steaks I've ever had at a restaurant. It was perfect and the sides were phenomenal as well. I don't think I've ever had broccoli that good! Similar vibes for the sweet potatoes! We skipped dessert because we were so full but, as I wrap this up, I just have to say that our server, Cody, was awesome as was the general manager, Emily, who stopped by a couple of times to check on us. Both were just so friendly , and so invested in making our evening one to remember......which we absolutely will! I know it's a no-brainer to stop by the Breckenridge Distillery for their amazing spirits whenever you're in town but, if you haven't tried the restaurant yet, you owe it to yourself to make that a priority on your next trip!

First, you need a reservation several days in advance. The spirits are all amazing. There are some free tasters in the lobby. I like things I didn't think I would like. The food is very good. The staff will tell you that it is the best food in summit county. They might be right. The burger is out of this world and will likely top your list too for best burger. There are shoe string fries mixed with a creamy sauce that makes the flavors pop. The sticky ribs were well cooked and tender but definitely heavy on the smoke flavor. The orange chicken is served with a liberal amount of Szechuan red chilis. The pork rinds were surprisingly good as well.

My boyfriend made a reservation months in advance for a party of 7 and the distillery said that they couldn't do larger than a party of 6. We had to sit at the bar away from the rest of the group, while we noticed at least two other parties of 7+ people. The bartender was exceptionally kind, friendly and informative. I am plant based and not drinking so dinning here felt extremely awkward, but he made a few modifications and crafted some lovely mock-tails. If you are plant based, your options are extremely limited. There is nothing vegan on the menu and only a few things that can be modified to be. None of the entrees are vegan, so you will probably leave hungry. However, if you are a meat eater, this is definitely the place for you as all of the menu is very meat/dairy heavy. They also offer great cocktails, of course, and have a few fun Star Wars themed drinks.

The service was just ok The drinks were pretty good but with limited selection Appetizers ok Main fish was the worst prime rib we have ever had How can you make prime rib to be tough meat? The menu is extremely limited. Side dishes tasteless and poorly prepared What a disappointment! We have been in this restaurant many times and it has always been a great experience. No longer an awesome chef and kitchen Please bring back a chef and send the bad cook off

Had an awesome Apres day at Breck Distillery. Arrived around 1:50 and got in line for them to open. The line forms in the tasting room so you can taste while you wait. Folks working the tasting room were very nice and we chatted the whole time. At 2;00 sharp we sat down at the bar. Bartender was great. She was super knowledgable and had created some of the cocktails on the menu. She was very attentive and talked with us about all kinds of the ingredients that go into the cocktails. We tried the Rogue Planet, Herbalist, and Homage to the Pollinators. All were good but Rogue Planet was our favorite. We also ate the smashburger and sweet potato hummus. The burger was fantastic and we really liked the pita that came with the hummus. Sticky wings and 420 tots and all kinds of other things looked really good. Can't wait to try out the dinner menu.

Always love coming here when visiting Breckenridge. They have a great happy hour menu and the food is great overall. Always love coming here to do a tasting as well and tour when available. We tried all of the happy hour drinks, the stick ribs and tots last time we were here and enjoyed everything. The service is also great!

Food was good, service was not awesome. We felt like we were bothering our server. Overall it was alright, we just felt uncomfortable.

One of the country's highest distilleries makes phenomenal food too! Out of all of our Breckenridge research, this spot came up high on the post every time. And we're so glad it did! Stopping in for happy hour (2-5 p.m.) on a Friday in October, my wife and I sat at the bar where we watched the food being made. The orange chicken was a unique menu item but worth getting. The chicken is crispy and the papers on top make the dish. My wife loves the poke bowl. For dessert, the three chocolate cookies were gooey and so good with the cookie batter butter on top and the cereal milk. The cocktails were great! For $10 on the happy hour menu, I ordered the pear vodka cocktail and my wife the gin one. All their drinks include their own liquor. (You can buy bottles of it in the store/tasting room.) Service was excellent and the space inviting. There's a parking lot, free bus, and a free shuttle.

Excellent service. The steaks were amazing. We will make this a Breckenridge tradition.

Food and drinks here are excellent. Seasonal menus. Small dining area so be sure to make reservations during peak ski season. You can have 3 free tastings of liquor in their tasting / shop area when you walk in. Tour was cool and also small private event space.

It's a classic place to visit when in Breckenridge, CO! You can taste whiskey, grab a cocktail, grab a bite or do all three. ;D We had dinner plans so we just came in for a tasting and a few cocktails. They have table seating, outdoor seating and bar. For this experience, we chose the bar which lead us to have the amazing service of Ty! She said she was in training, but she knew everything we asked and really made the afternoon quite enjoyable. We were shocked to see a Trinidad Sour on the menu, so we quickly ordered two. This is a pretty rare cocktail to see done, because of it's ratio of bitters to bourbon. It's also my favorite cocktail (ever) when done right. If you've never had one, this would be a good one to try but it unfortunately does not beat the one my husband has learned to make at home. Next, we tried the Midnight Marauder and Rogue Planet. We were not huge fans of the Midnight Marauder. It just was not our flavor! That happens when you order new cocktails to try, though. It's no biggie! We both really LOVED the Rogue Planet! I blame the Brown Butter Washed Breckenridge Bourbon they make it with. I wish I would have started and ended with that cocktail, as well as, maybe had a third haha. :D Collectively, we agreed we should come back as we loved the service, atmosphere and vast food + drink menu! There's so much to still try and we are looking forward to it. :)

Pretty good, but not great especially for what it's trying to be. The clam pasta was very much lacking in any seasoning and the pasta was overcooked/mushy and stuck together. Steak was also overcooked, tough, and lacking seasoning. Sides were pretty bland - especially the corn muffins. Not sure if the blandness was to do with the altitude at all since we're from a much lower altitude? The kids buttered noodles ($15!!) we got for our toddler was one of the better items not even listed on the menu lol. The one exception was the scallops that were perfect and the staff was super friendly and accommodating.

We came in during happy hour on Saturday and it was BUSY. People were waiting for tables before they even opened. However, our server was amazing and on it! The space is really gorgeous- the outside space even had chandeliers and a fire place. I could totally imagine having a gorgeous wedding reception here. They only serve the happy hour menu from 2-5, which worked for us because that's what we wanted to order anyway. The 420 tots change on a regular basis, ours were loaded with red Chile sauce, sour cream, cheese and brisket. They were delicious and one of our favorite parts of the meal! We also really loved the smashburger- really tender meat and the special sauce added so much flavor. One of my top burgers of all time. The steak sandwich was good but not as flavorful in comparison. The banana fosters dessert was good- really moist bread pudding with a banana cream on top. Our favorite cocktails were the Life's a Peach and the Elder Wand. The old fashioned was super strong, the Genever was very herbal tasting, and we didn't care for the other spritzes we tried as much. Overall a fabulous meal and we will absolutely be back for happy hour!

We took the tour and it was great. The guy was very knowledgeable. They gave us a tasting after. The whiskey is delicious.

Amazing service. Rachel was so sweet and attentive. The food was delicious. Love the Brussels salad and Pon Can Tomatillo. Love the atmosphere. Quick service. Drinks amazing.

Great bourbon! We wound up flying six bottles home with us. Awesome outdoor patio with relaxing vibes. Friendly and attentive servers. Get the poke bowl! It is amazing. So many delicious, fresh ingredients. Best poke bowl we've ever had. The Old Fashioned was perfect as well.

Some of the best food I've ever eaten! We ate there twice while we were in breck, the fried chicken was hands down the best Ive ever had. The smash burger was incredible, all of the appetizers and sides were top notch. There wasn't one thing on the menu that we didn't absolutely love. The wait staff was so friendly and helpful.

Easily the best restaurant in Breckenridge. Be sure to make a reservation early and do NOT skimp out on timing here. You'll need the whole experience, starting with drinks. You really can't go wrong with any, but the one with the smoked barrel is quite a show. Try to sit at the chef's bar. It's increidble watching them work and our favorite dish was the scallops by far. Sitting there, watching people work, taking in all the great art work and eclectic vibe. I am ALL for this place. Not to even mention the banana pudding for dessert. DIVINE.

One of the best restaurants in Breck. Remember to book a reservation! They're always changing their menu, but they combine flavors and textures expertly. We've visited 3-4 different times and it never gets old. Add in the great service and lively ambiance...never a bad time. Pricey though, expect to pay $60+/pp

Smoooooooth bourbon. We ski in Breck every year. The Breck distillery is always a must stop. Some times they are super busy and it's hard to get served

Took the tour, it was short but still informative, the tasting was amazing, but the biggest surprise was the food... I doubt you'll find a better deal in Breckenridge. All around a good time, would do again for a new member to our group, or simply for the happy hour.

This is a review of their happy hour which was a fun and exciting way to eat in Breckenridge. We tried a bunch of the cocktails, loved the refreshing genever balanced with gin. The permafrost was too sweet and spicy (cinnamon) , the old fashioned was good. The jerk chicken was tasty although verylight on the jerk. The "rice salad"was a cold rice dish that was quite salty. We loved the sticky ribs- flavorful, sweet and smoky. The salmon lettuce wraps were light in the salmon (v salsa filling). We also really enjoyed the Breck dip. A surprise hit of the night were the button mushrooms - so flavourful, marinated in soy and spices and a huge hit with entire the family. They have high chairs which is a plus and the happy hour food is great at about a quarter of the price

I had a great first visit the other night. I sat at the chef's counter and Joel took good care of me. I went with the Martinez Royale to start which is just amazing. If you like a good Martinez (allegedly the first cocktail), you will love this. The foam is very cool. Then I had the Wagyu special (cap cooked in curry butter) with some fries and an Oaked and Smoked. The steak was really nice and delicious. I wouldnt hesitate to go back.

We came here for a distillery tour and tasting and I don't think we could've had a better time. Our tour guide was great and the whiskey was good. If you are at the distillery consider picking up a bottle of the powder hound. It's smooth and it supports a local dog rescue. Also don't sleep on the espresso vodka. Between the time that we started and ended our tour, they sold out of their bottles at the distillery. Our tour guide said that they should have more in the next week or two, but you can find it in local liquor stores.

Cocktails and food here were delicious! Highly recommend the tater tot dish special that they switch up. It's really enough to split between two people. Their smashburger is also very tasty but I had to laugh at the shoestring fries that came with it. They were the smallest fries I have ever seen in my life, reminded me of toothpicks, so don't expect a full side of fries when ordering the burger. They are tasty though. Nice cocktail and mocktail options as well. Everyone at the table was satisfied with what they got. Nice service too.

Great drinks and bartender!! Shout out to Griff!! We are looking forward to coming back for another happy hour here.

Awesome restaurant in Breckenridge! It is pricey so we went for happy hour. We didn't make a reservation but were able to get two seats at the bar since it wasn't dinner time yet. The dining room was completely booked for the night so if going for dinner, a reservation is recommended. I got the genever juice cocktail and the obi-wan old fashioned is also pictured. The genever juice cocktail was super good, Breckenridge distillery gin is so good. We also ordered the midnight marauder and the of all the gin joints. I had the gin one and it was very tasty and so pretty! I loved the leaf garnish and glass. It was on the sweeter side but I prefer sweeter drinks. Off the happy hour menu we ordered the Kobe beef burgers. They were small and I wish there was like a side dish on the plate or something, but the burgers were well cooker and super flavorful. We also got the daily special tots, they were Cuban themed and were a good portion. I opted for the flame grilled baguette which is a side off the main menu. It was so awesome! Super cheesy and also pretty salty and with lots of melted butter. Highly recommend if that's your taste. For dessert we got the bananas fosters bread pudding. Super good and was awesome considering that bread pudding is not my favorite dessert. Overall awesome place. Super crowded and busy, but everything came out in a timely matter. Bathroom was clean and everything met our expectations. The parking lot was completely full and it wasn't even late so we do recommend getting there early. We parked at the free airport lot down the street and walked over.

Food - AMAZING Service - AMAZING All of the drinks and food were amazing and the chef accommodated our vegan friend beyond our expectations. They marked up a menu with options of what they could modify and the chef made a fresh dish just for her. Our server Eli was also amazing. Very patient, answered all of our questions and ensured the chef was aware of all dietary requests. 10/10 would recommend as it was our best experience thus far while being in breck.

Matt was an awesome tour guide and everyone i encountered from the other hosts to the common workers were extremely accommodating and very nice! Excellent tour, and well worth the money for any bourbon fan. The vodkas and gin are amazing too!

I am not sure why this place doesn't have better reviews. This is the BEST place in Breck. The ribs you can eat with a fork. They fall off the bone. We also ordered the Smashburger and fries. Everything was so fresh. Wry laid back atmosphere with great waitstaff. Everything was amazing.

Well this was a find! Nephew loves whiskey (or is it bourbon? ) and wanted to check this place out. Hubby and I are beer and wine drinkers so we begrudgingly agreed...it was his vacay afterall. We arrived in time for happy hour big score! Hubs and I ordered an old fashioned (after he asked if they had beer) and nephew a Manhattan. Well shiver me timbers, but boy did I love the OF! Teens ordered food, again off the HH menu. Sweet potatoe hummus, which is infused with chili oil...spicy but so good!...tater tots of the day...pork rib burnt ends and jalapeño crema. Just have to say...delish!!! Also ordered a steak sandwich. I didn't taste, but figure it was pretty good since it disappeared. I would love to come back, but alas, hubby doesn't drink the hard stuff so probably won't be back. And just FYI, I finished hubs OF and am sooooo happy right now! Forgot to mention...staff was fabulous!

Everything from start to finish was outstanding. The staff was so friendly, the ambiance was awesome, the food was amazing and of course the bourbon and other spirits were incredible. Thank you so much for making this so enjoyable.

Outstanding food, service and atmosphere. We also took the distillery tour beforehand and really enjoyed that - Sam was our tour guide.

Located just outside downtown, it's worth the short drive for an amazing whiskey tasting and dinner. Cocktails are amazing as are the bartenders. Love the open kitchen and options to sit at the bar. Hope to return and try some additional items on the menu.

We didn't have a reservation but they seated us at the bar in ten minutes. We explored the whiskey section while we waited. Once seated, we could see what the bar was doing. They were putting every attention to detail on the food items. We were so impressed with the effort. The food itself was pretty good. The drinks all come with a little garnish and some have a Smokey flare. Overall cool spot when trying to impress out of town friends.

The food here is not what you would expect- it is not like a brewery's food. We had great New York strip (large enough for two) and I mean great! The Duck Fat Reds were the best potatoes I've ever had in a restaurant! The quality of the food is worth the trip here, but with the free shuttle you can enjoy the amazing variety of cocktails here! The presentation of the smoked cocktails was impressive, and the experience special. The atmosphere was loud and rowdy but fun. We saw a group leave once they figured out a distillery doesn't offer beer and wine - really? - so don't be surprised. The best food we've had in Breck.

One of the best meals I have had in my life. Service was excellent. Food was out of this world. I have dined in Michelin star spots before and this place needs one or Two ASAP. Incredible food and drinks up on this mountain. I will be dreaming of that octopus for years to come. Well done chef!

We came back here after having visited previously and enjoying the BBQ. They must have changed their menu in the past year. They brought in a fancy chef, put fancy steaks on the menu and doubled the price. The steaks were good but not worth the $200 we paid. Much better value places to go in Breck since they changed it up.

Very creative menu. We tried quite a few different items last night. My absolute favorite (all of us) drooled over the crispy pork bites OMG what an absolutely divine creation. We kept the sauce to use for the rest of our dinner. The pear salad is HUGE and absolutely delicious with little secret bites of spice. Steaks were cooked perfectly and prevention was beautiful. The complexity of the lobster tail had me just in awe as there was all my favorite additions to make it crazy good, leeks!!!!!

Food and service was incredible. Can't go wrong with anything you order. Love the vibe, very welcoming and warm.

I was here celebrating my friends bachelorette party and we stopped here for cocktails before heading to dinner. Since I don't drink I of course got one of their many mocktail selections and it did not disappoint! They had live music out on their outdoor patio and it was a nice ambiance!

I have been coming here since the day the distillery opened, long before the restaurant was built. I've noticed a steady decline over the past few years, possibly due to the fact that the original owner sold the business to a Canadian marijuana distributor. Today we walked in to see that the outdoor seating area was 75% empty. We checked in and were told we would have to wait at least 20 minutes because they were busy. I can understand if a restaurant is short staffed, but that is really no reason to tell someone they have to stand there for 20 minutes staring into your empty restaurant. It would be better to just sit people and bring them some water, and let them know it is going to be a while for their server. I personally think they like making people wait so they will stand around in the gift shop and buy stuff, or maybe they just like acting pretentious so people will think the place is better than it actually is. Either way there are far better options with better customer service in Breckenridge. I'll never set foot in this place again.

Stopped in for a tasting and was lucky enough to get a bar top table for 2 for an unplanned dinner. 1st, we ordered the 20oz NY strip special to share plus sides and appetizer etc. sadly our steak must have been the end cut and, very nervously, for the first time in 15 years, we sent the meal back. What the waiter (Diego) and manager (Austin) did next made our visit 5 stars! We asked for something different or equivalent to eat. They brought out the filet which was amazing! They gave us two new drinks and had the delicious pb&j dessert. I do not like desserts but this was so good, had something for everyone on that plate!!! Our service from beginning to end was fantastic, including when we sent our meal back. These two need to give every other person in service a lesson on how to treat people! Highly recommend for the food and the service!

Recent visit to Breckenridge Distillery/restaurant/bar... Breckenridge, CO Our favorite drink... "The Aberdeen"... created by bartender Griff - Ingredients: Breckenridge Two Clans Blended Whiskey, Breckenridge Bitter, Milk Liqueur, Lime, Basil... ***** (5 Stars)

My husband & I have been to a number of distilleries & was impressed by Lucas' knowledge. We had a great time on the tour! Rachel was also a great server.

I just so happened to see this restaurant on Below Deck Med Aesha's story a couple days before my visit and I'm so glad I did! I loved that there was plenty of parking even on a Saturday night! The distillery has a modern, cozy, and nerdy feel to it! It seems like the owner is a fan of Star Wars as a a lot of the art pieces were Star Wars themed and not in a tacky way either! It totally works for the space. Our server was great offered us suggestions based on our preferences. We ordered two rounds of drinks all, all of them delicious! We started with the French onion soup which was amazing, perfect for a cold winter night! Ordered a steak perfectly cooked to medium rare with a side of carrots which were a little too spicy for me bu my the flavor was great! For dessert we ordered the bread pudding and it was worth every calorically dense bite! 10/10 recommend!

Best place in breck by far!!! Absolutely loved it and will be eating here every time we come in the future!

This is a great place in Breck - really amazing food and spirits. I thought the portions were ginormous. The place was very busy when we were there, and I can understand why. Give it a try, but don't be in a rush. You won't be disappointed. They do provide a shuttle service so people can enjoy everything without the concern of driving.

Outstanding! We ordered cocktails from the cocktail menu and some bbq brisket, ribs, potato salad and beans. Outstanding. The bbq sauce was excellent. Just a wonderful flavorful experience. Beams had chunks of meat in them. Yum. Some of the best prepared cocktails I have had in a long long time.
