Park Ave Pub

Park Ave Pub
Happy Hour: 3-5pm daily
  • $1 select drafts (typically Rolling Rock).
  • $4 wells.
  • $1 sliders.
  • $1 hot dogs.
A lot of table space for groups, a couple of pool tables for entertainment, a good location coming off Peak 9.

Recently reopened after closing all summer - rumors were a remodel was in the works, reality is they reopened with the same look as before summer.

Mi Casa 2-for-1's

October is the slow season in Breck and Mi Casa is offering 2-for-1 appetizers and/or 2-for-1 dinners most Sundays through Thursdays. Check the Summit Daily newspaper each day for the Mi Casa ad to see which of these deals is on for the day (the ads usually list the days it is valid for the current week).

This is a great addition to the normal Mi Casa Happy Hour while we wait for snow and the opening of Breckenridge Ski Resort....

Napper Tandy's

Napper Tandy's Irish Pub
Happy Hour: 4-7pm daily
  • $2.50 domestic drafts & bottles
  • $3 wells
  • various appetizer specials
  • Tue/Thu special (5-7pm): $3 select pitchers, $2 baskets of wings or skins
There is not much "irish" about Nappers, but it is a fun/large bar with lots of space, TVs and games. The Tue/Thu deal is hard to beat - the $3 pitcher is usually something along the lines of Natty Light or Rolling Rock (never as bad as PBR).

Note: You will often hear Nappers referred to as "Salt Creek" or "Salt Creek Saloon". Napper Tandy's is the bar upstairs from the Salt Creek restaurant on Lincoln Ave (and was once named "Salt Creek Saloon") - thus the common name confusion.

NFL and NCAA Football Watching

During the NFL and NCAA Football seasons, many bars around Breck offer special "football happy hours" during the games. Some of the best I have encountered:

  • Kenosha for Sunday NFL (while their daily happy hour has declined, their Sunday NFL is still rocking).
  • Jake's Dive Bar (NFL and NCAA - Sat & Sun game specials).
  • Burke & Rileys (NFL and NCAA - Sat & Sun game specials).

Kenosha

Kenosha Steak House
Happy Hour: 3-6pm daily.
  • $1 off draft beer.
  • $1 off wine.
Kenosha has removed "2 for 1 appetizers" from their happy hour - leaving only $1 off beer/wine. Given all the other happy hour deals in Breck, I can no longer recommend Kenosha based on this new, limited happy hour.

Mi Casa

Mi Casa
Happy Hour: 3-6pm daily
  • $1 off beer.
  • $1 off margaritas.
  • $5 pitchers of PBR.
  • $1 tacos.
  • $3 basket of wings.
  • Free chips & salsas.
The taco deal cannot be beat - these are good sized, good tasting tacos for only a buck (chicken, beef or bean in hard or soft shells). The drink prices can be a bit pricey, even with the $1 off.
