The Gold Pan Saloon - Breckenridge, Colorado

I had a great time at the Gold Pan Saloon in Breckenridge! The atmosphere was lively, and the food was incredible. Brittany, our server, was fantastic—super friendly and knowledgeable. She recommended the Lamb Dip with garlic fries and a special sauce, and it did *not* disappoint. The flavors were amazing, and the fries were perfectly crispy!

I paired it with a local Colorado beer on draft, which was a perfect match. To top it off, we finished the meal with their Crème Brûlée, which was absolutely delicious and the perfect sweet ending.

The only downside was the live music—it was a bit too loud for comfort. It was hard to have a conversation without raising our voices, which I think detracted from the overall experience. If they could turn the volume down just a little, it would make the atmosphere perfect.

Despite that, I’ll definitely be back for the great food and the wonderful service from Brittany!

This place is so cool! I’m a history/haunted places enthusiast, so when I saw this was one of the oldest bars west of the Mississippi…I was in. This has the old west feel, with friendly staff, cold drinks, & delicious food. The bar is stunning & ornately designed. We went during lunch, but there is a smaller area for bands, & live music to play during busier evening hours.
Would definitely recommend stopping in after visiting & touring the real mine—Country Boy Mine just up the hill, 8 minutes drive from The Gold Pan.

Looks like this place has been here for a very long time, but this is what gives it character. Food was very good. Our waiter started out doing very good but towards the end kinda forgot about us. On the way out the bartender was over heard saying inappropriate jokes that were offensive.

What a find!!! If you love over-priced, trendy, tourist-traps in Breck, then this is NOT the place for you. This is, however, a fantastic place for everyday people who like to eat hearty portions and not go broke doing it.
The atmosphere is relaxed and cowboy-casual. The staff were friendly and attentive. The pancakes were great, the huevos rancheros were great, but my GOD, the garlic aioli on the burger was out of this world. 🤤
Bonus: the coffee (black) was good! It was strong and came with an adorable cream carafe.

We did not order the breakfast burrito, but we saw several tables that did and it was massive.
I'd easily consider this to be the best place in Breck to grab lunch at. It is perfect if you're passing through and want to sit, eat, and unwind a little.

Me and my whole family had an absolutely amazing experience. Our bartender Nick did a great job. Had us laughing the whole time and the service was a phenomenal and don’t even get me started on the food. I left happily stuffed.

Best bar in town! If you're looking to experience Colorado eats and support a local favorite, this is the place! This bar is an authentic ski town must see. It has the feel of a mining era bar, simply because it is. The food is amazing, elevated bar food with an interesting twist and affordable . Nick our bartender was quick witted, funny, personable, AND attentive while serving a full bar! The atmosphere was welcoming and humble; Colorado style. Their winery next door is top notch. Different menu, just as unique.
Simply put, this is a Breckenridge staple!

Visiting from Boston, immediately had a warm welcome from a server named Dave who I found out was also from the Boston area. We were served by a woman named Kass, who was an absolute delight! These two employees sealed the deal on a fantastic experience at the Gold Pan Saloon. Highly recommend for aprés ski or any outing, it gives you the quintessential Breckenridge feel!
