1. Atmospheres: Fantastic layout, very clean and great music (just the right volume to hear it but have a conversation). We sat at the bar because we heard great things about the happy hour from the locals. 2 Food: We researched before coming to Breckenridge what place had the best burger and Aurum's French Onion Burger came up at the top of the list. It did not disappoint. It was cooked to perfection (we like medium rare) and the sea salt french fries were delicious (no condiments needed for the burger or the fries)!! 3. Employees: The Hostess was friendly and got us seated right away. The Bartenders (Mike and George) made our evening a blast. Mike Ruda has a signature drink on the menu that he created called the Duck Fat Cadillac and it is a home run cocktail (10 out 10)!! George Johnson is a great conversationalist and is engaged with the customers. We showed him a twist to our favorite drink back home in San Antonio, the Carajillo and he made it perfectly! I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Breckenridge and make sure you grab a seat at the bar and enjoy the conversations and the Duck Fat Cadillac!! read more

First off we stopped here for their amazing happy hour. They have great drink and food options which are available throughout the whole restaurant from 4pm-6pm daily. Now I recommend going early for happy hour or making reservations. We were heading out around 5:30pm and there was no seating available. For happy hour I had a glass of Rosé and lemon parmesan fries. The food, people, and ambiance were so amazing, we made dinner reservations for the whole fam. Luckily there was availability. That night we were sat promptly when we arrived and the table was set up with menus and water waiting for us. For appetizer, we started off with the Parker House rolls with the house honey butter and OMG those rolls are so fluffy and delicious. Highly suggest getting the rolls if you like bread. The butter complimented the bread beautifully. I started off the night with the blackberry smash with tequila and it was delicious. Just the right combo of sweetness. For entree we went with their Pasta Rotante which for the night was a crazy flavor combo of tomato, pumpkin seeds, crunchy carrot strings, sage and chicken sausage. I'm probably missing other ingredients, but it was a dance of flavors on the tongue. Our waiter recommended pairing this with a glass of Pinot Noir and it was the perfect compliment. read more

This beautiful restaurant came to us via local friend recommendation and did not disappoint. One street over from the main downtown area of Breckenridge, Aurum gave vibes of a high class and well crafted dining experience. Inside was beautiful and lively, good dinner music, and professional staff throughout. Dinner was something special, paired with wine from their extensive wine list, it was a highlight of our weekend. The pasta special was incredible, cauliflower appetizer was full of great flavors, and their duck main dish was unique and brilliantly prepared. Let's not forget their chocolate cake desert! Truly a great way to end the night! Great night! read more

We came here night 1 of a bachelorette party and it was a vibe. The food was fantastic. I had a mocktail that was so well presented, and the others in our group loved their drinks. And the atmosphere was gorgeous. Our waiter was so kind and made the experience even better by giving us great recommendations for bars to check out while we were in Breck. We actually ran into him again on night two, which made it even more memorable. Such a fun spot for a girls' trip, date night, or special dinner - we'd definitely come back! read more

Aurum Breckenridge - Espress-No-Tini - Bars Near Me - Breckenridge, Colorado

Best location for happy hour or dinner. It's located one block from Main Street. This place feels like home. Warm people and service. I love how you can hang your coat as you enter before you check in. Hostess and waiters are super friendly. Drinks are to lie for. I tried the Breckenridge old fashion and it was Devine. It was so good I had it twice. Later I paired our dinner with a glass of Pinot noir which was recommended by the waiter and it complemented the pasta very well. Our family were impressed and we even had shots in the end to finish a great night. I highly recommend this place and recommend making reservations. I'll attach some pictures of our food but I appreciate them for making our night a great experience read more

I've had Aurum on the list to visit for the past few times we've come to Breck, but we had never made it. Then today, we were in the mood for a good burger. A quick google search for "Best hamburger in Breckenridge" starts with the French Onion Burger at Aurum. Even better, it's on the happy hour menu. So, to Aurum we went. We each had a beer to start...the 4 Noses Oktoberfest for me and the Skaterade Lager for my wife. From there, I saw another table with the Crispy Curried Cauliflower, and I knew we needed to get it. And we were so happy we did. Quite possibly the best cauliflower I've ever had. Absolutely fantastic. We were already set on each having the burger, but then we heard others at tables around us raving about the burger...but also suggesting to get it cooked more than you usually order your meat. My wife got hers medium well and thought it was perfect. I got mine medium plus (at the suggestion of another diner), and it was also perfect. I had the lemon Parmesan fries, which were amazing, and my wife was also happy with her sea salt fries. We both agreed it was one of the better burgers we've had, as well as one of our favorite dishes in Breckenridge. And $16 for a large, fantastic burger plus yummy fries? C'mon. Where is that possible these days?!? Well, come to Aurum for happy hour, and you'll see. Service was friendly, strong, and consistent throughout. Aurum is now on our must-visit list whenever we're in Breckenridge. read more

My husband and I had dined here together in late summer 2018 and we loved it. He had come by himself several times over the years and continued to rave about how good his meals were here. Finally we were able to come back together and I am pleased to say that the food is just as good as I remembered it, if not better. They have a decent happy hour and overall the experience is casual with an upscale touch. Our server was friendly and attentive and I appreciated that when she boxed our leftovers, she wrote what was inside and the date. It's the little details that stand out! We started with the crispy curried cauliflower and and a crudo. The cauliflower definitely had some curry flavor but it wasn't too strong or spicy. The crudo was super fresh and I loved that it incorporated some local fresh elements but the Serranos are spicy, beware! I got a bite of one and my mouth was on fire for a while. My husband got the duck dish and I got the pasta special. The duck was tasty although a bit heavy, as duck normally is. The pasta was super tasty too, I liked the peas included. Overall, Aurum is a hit and I am sure we will continue to come during our trips to Breck! read more

What a lovely spot. The interior is just as welcoming as the exterior. Weren't on a Saturday night without a reservation around 5:30. Got to sit at one of the communal tables. We had the Korean fried chicken, Parker rolls, soup, and the crispy cauliflower were all really delicious. Didn't love the Caesar salad, but the drinks were very well-made. Will definitely return! read more

Awesome atmosphere. Tried the Duck Hunter cocktail, it was a fun experience but something I don't need to get again. The old fashioned was very good. The crispy cauliflower and beef carpaccio were very tasty! Someone in our group had the beet cured salmon app and loved it as well. We'll be back to try more! read more

I just got George's favorite drink - the El Dorado- nuts awesome! Heat and piquant- my new Summer Go To. George is a great addition to Aurum Breck's stellar bar staff - Mike, Justen, and Tyler. Love these guys and the amazing menu and service are a bonus. I literally left and came back tonight to get a seat. . Ps- George makes the BEST gin martini in town. Thankful for Patrick Ferro's Management- he brings the Je Ne Sais Quoi everyday. read more

Such a lovely meal. Every dish was inventive delicious and well executed. We had a table of nine and the service was impeccable which is difficult for such a large group. We were celebrating three birthdays and signed card and candles was such a sweet touch. We all did the tasting menu with wine pairing and added a couple cocktails. I loved the combination of some vegetarian dishes that tasted wonderful but the meat courses really stole the show. The crab pasta was out of this world. The meat was cooked to perfection. The amuse bouche with the goat cheese was a delicious intro. The sorbet palate cleanser was a beautiful touch. I would highly recommend for some very high quality food and experience. read more

We had a great dinner here- I was a huge fan of the casual vibe and the food was outstanding. Curry cauliflower app was amazing together with our wedge salad and our entrees were great. I had the duck with sprouts and mushrooms which hit the spot and the wife had the trout with a tomato lobster sauce. Chocolate cake with caramel was the perfect finish. We will be back! read more

Awesome happy hour from 4-6 PM! I tried the Bibb wedge salad, Korean chicken, and the burger with fries -- everything was delicious. The outdoor patio is perfect with heated lamps, and the indoor space has such a cool vibe with tall ceilings, wood accents, and exposed copper pipes. Bright, airy, and a great spot overall. Service was exceptional! read more

We visited Aurum back in October and were very pleased with our experience. Our waiter was very kind and had great recommendations for us. The inside was very clean and had a fun vibe at the bar.

I don't believe in leaving poorly rated reviews that live in perpetuity (hence the five stars) but truly, the experience was very underwhelming. Our server, Madison, was entirely friendly and helpful albeit stretched thin. The dishes my group had were the mushroom soup, beef carpaccio, pasta special, duck entree, Caesar and kale salad. The carpaccio was a lot of smoke and mirrors for the flavor. The soup was great. The pasta special was very gamey and the consommé really watered it down. The favorite (for me) was the gin thyme cocktail- much better depth of flavor and you could tell there was thoughtful consideration in the rest of the cocktail menu. read more

Loved this place from the minute we walked in. Nice decor, really interesting artwork. Good bar right up front with a nice selection of more interesting liquors. We were a party of eight and (IMO) a bit of a handful, but our server took good care of us. She kept our drinks full and handled our "idiosyncrasies " with grace. The menu is simple enough to concentrate the kitchen's efforts but varied enough to satisfy. To start, we had the Parker House Rolls, which were very tasty, and the Hand-cut Fries, which were DELICIOUS. I had the Aurum Caesar for dinner and loved it. Also had a few big forkfuls of the featured pasta, which was their take on a carbonara. It was pretty good - but not as good as my salad. There were complimentary remarks about the Hanger Steak and the Mushroom and Gruyère Soup from others. All in all a very pleasant evening and we will definitely revisit when back in Breck. . read more

Rating based on food price and quality! Avoid Aurum Food and find something else! This is a tourist spot, overpriced for the quality. We were a group of 6, and it was the first time in Aurum Food for 5 of us. The restaurant's atmosphere is modern but a little close to the guests on either side. It's not very spacious. We got the summer tasting menu and happy hour. Service: I think our waitress's name was Maya. (correction her name is Megan) She was friendly and attentive and explained the food in detail. Very knowledgeable about the menu. She provided excellent service. Three of us ordered the French Onion Burger and Korean fried chicken. The other 3 ordered RM Trout. Overall, 5 of us found the food disappointing and not good. We didn't have more than two bites of our Korean Fried Chicken. It was spicy, but that was not the problem; the "chicken" (if any) was hard, dry, salty, and chewy, not worthy of another bite. The Costco fried chicken tastes way better than this dish. So go to Costco, get a frozen bag, and drop some sesame seeds, pickled red onion, ranch dressing, and walla! The Burger was okay. It didn't wow me at all. I was not too fond of the onion jam (which I asked to be on the side to control how much I wanted on), but I'm glad I did, as I opted not to add any of it. The French fries were meh. Nothing special. One of my friends shared her trout dish, and I hoped to like it, but the trout was overcooked and underseasoned. The dish had so much going on that the flavors and components didn't mix well. After our experience, we all tried hard to understand how this is so highly rated. We all had high expectations for the price that we were paying. In addition to the awful food, know there is a charge fee for kitchen staff. Hello? Isn't the owner/industry supposed to be paying them? This fee is NOT mandatory. If the "Industry" wants to ensure fair compensation for ALL THE STAFF working behind the scenes. I believe it is the industry's responsibility to pay its employees fairly and NOT the clients to help it achieve that fair competition. That is why we are paying for overpriced dishes and tips!!! You're welcome! I will encourage all of my traveling friends to avoid this place. Alternatively, if you end up going, I recommend deducting the % kitchen fee charge from the server's tip. Please go elsewhere, as I certainly will. Pricing is already outrageous in Breck, but there are many places to eat without additional gouging. read more

Disappointing experience, especially for our last night in Breckenridge. Our waitress was great and the food was good, but the visit was soured by a man wearing dark glasses who appeared to be a manager. He never checked on us or asked how our meal was--his only interaction was rushing my wife from our table while I was taking my young son to the restroom. For a restaurant that presents itself as upscale, the lack of courtesy was surprising. We won't be returning to Aurum or The Carlin. read more

I originally dined here in Feb'22 with 2 of my brothers - we thoroughly enjoyed our meal & experience, though I can't recall what we ate or who our waiter/waitress was. That said, my wife & I had a weekend getaway to celebrate our 12y wedding anniversary this past weekend, & I thought she would enjoy the same experience I had years ago, since I hadn't been back since that previous time. We arrived ~5mins ahead of our 630p reservation, which specified when we booked that it was a "1h45min reservation". We were told the party seated at our table was finishing their dessert (no problem, we were a few minutes ahead of the reservation time anyway), & that we were welcomed to enjoy a cocktail @ the bar while we wait. I understand how as a restaurant it may be awkward to have to tell a party "your time is up", however if you are going to have a specified reservation time block called-out when booking, then you should be fairly strict (but polite) with said-time & say to dining parties (as they're seated, or even as their time is near-ending) "we are happy you're here with us, etc. but as a reminder - we do try to stay true to our allotted time blocks to ensure we can accommodate all who have booked reservations to dine with us this evening" (or something similar), especially if you're also stating in your reservation portal that any late cancels will be charge per person for canceling (which is totally fine, too - I get it). We were seated @ 6:57p - 27mins late! We were given a small complimentary flute of champagne as we were finally seated (nice gesture - thank you! because our reservation had notated our anniversary), however another 7mins went by before our waiter even said "I'll be with you shortly". ANOTHER 4mins go by, & he finally stops by (not sure if he as new or just overwhelmed or what, but he seemed very flustered & unfamiliar when describing the specials for the evening). We thanked him & I LITERALLY said to him & my wife, "we're ready to order" as we were now ~45mins later than our planned reservation to finally be able to place our order. He turned & walked away - no "I'll be right back" or "pardon me, I will be right back to take your order" - nothing. We looked at each other & were so frustrated with the series of events that we just walked out. The waitress wasn't @ the stand to tell her we were leaving. I left a message via OpenTable briefly expressing our frustration (probably a 200 character msg, not at all elaborate like this), & the team deleted our reservation & msg from their system. I was surprised that, at minimum, no one bothered to even reach out to apologize for any inconvenience or frustration it might have caused. Ps. We walked across the street & ate @ Hearthstone - 10/10, would highly recommend their food & service. They were able to seat us in their first come-first service patio & had our meals cooked & to us within 15mins. Ordered lamb chops & Elk chops - both were delicious. read more

Super disappointed with the food. Service and ambiance was incredible but we didn't like the food at all. Beef carpaccio was tasty but it was a whole production and messy to eat, and all the toppings overpowered the flavor of the beef which is the best part. Pork ribs were very good. The duck dish was super disappointing, it was mostly brussel sprouts drowning in demi glaze with a side of duck (just 2 small pieces for $60, picture attached). The two small potato cakes it came with were dense and sticky. My husband got the pasta dish and it looked beautiful but it was one of the most bland pastas we've ever had and we had to ask for salt. The drinks were also super sweet. Overall, really disappointed with the food and drinks. For over $300 for two people (apps, drinks for 2 people, and entrees + tip. I'd maybe go back again for a glass of wine and a burger at the bar. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Breckenridge. The hanger steak entree is awesome and I have had it a half dozen times. There was a big miss on last nights meal. I usually leave either stuff or with a doggie bag of steak. Last night instead of a single hanger steak, I was give 3 small pieces from 3 different steaks - each cooked to a different temp (rare, medium rare, and we'll done). Food as always looked great, but... no leftovers and still hungry when I left. Hopefully just a kitchen misstep? I probably won't order this dish next time and try something new. read more

OH my word!!! I just can't get enough of this place. They are consistent, just like me showing up to devour their Curry Cauliflower during happy hour. Great food and great happy hour value. Make sure to get there before the doors open at 4 PM. Or have a reservation. Until next time mi amor....which means see ya tomorrow read more

We were a party of five and arrived for a 7:45 reservation on a Saturday night. We were seated right away at a high top in the front of the restaurant. Our server, Bryan, was friendly, attentive, and explained the food in detail. We ordered many dishes to share, and we were impressed with the speed the plates came out of the kitchen and the efficiency of the staff to handle all of the food. We started with four different cocktails that were all delicious, but the Spicy Cucumber Margaritas were the table favorite. The Mountain Time was refreshing if you like gin, the Ginger Pear Martini was on the sweet side, and the Smokey Alpine Glow was fantastic if you like Mezcal tequila. It is pretty smokey if that is your thing (it is mine). Since we were with our adult children who are adventurous eaters, we shared all of the dishes. We ordered 9 dishes and that was the perfect amount of food as there was nothing left over and everyone was pleasantly satiated. Here is what we thought: Parker House Rolls - pretty typical and nothing outstanding Crispy Curried Cauliflower - if you like a bit of curry, this dish is fantastic! Korean BBQ Pork Ribs - A-maz-ing! Everyone loved the sauce and they were so tender. Miso Asparagus Bisque - very well balanced. We ordered two bowls and we all really wanted just a little bit more. Note: if you are taking pictures for a review, this dish is a not well photographed. The bowl is presented with asparagus and pistachio dust and then the servers pour in the soup and it becomes a bowl of greatness that looks bad in pics. Hamachi Crudo - a very well balanced, typical (in a great way) version of crudo. The Hamachi was fresh and perfectly sliced. We had two of these for the table. Housemade Rotating Pasta - It was good, but we didn't get the notes that Bryan said we would taste. It was very unique. This dish changes all the time, so what I say doesn't really matter here:) Farmers Market Special - for us it was cantaloupe done 4 ways. Very interesting and very tasty. We all appreciated the Chef's creativity with using local ingredients in this dish and the pasta dish. We did not have an entree, but I'm sure they are all as good as the rest of the menu. We all highly recommend Aurum (which is Latin for gold...we asked) if you are in Breckenridge. The standard menu is fantastic and the fact that Chef is creative with the pasta and farmer's market plates is very refreshing. read more

Great food, service, and drinks! Great old fashion and espresso Martini! Good Happy hour!

It's a beautiful restaurant. We were greater when we walked in and seated right away. I highly recommend making a reservation. Our server explained the specials and placed a fee recommendations. To be honest you can't go wrong with anything you order. I do wish I got the short ribs for my meal instead as it is enormous and looked so appetizing! My husband got the trout, I got the French onion burger and the kids got steak and cookies. All were very tasty! I was so delighted with the cookie desert at it was soooo good! If you have room for dessert this is a must! Overall great place to eat! It does not disappoint read more

Came to Breckenridge with my family to celebrate my 60th birthday. My son made a reservation at Aurum. Immediately I was greeted by everyone we encountered with a happy birthday.

We loved Aurum Restaurant! We were a party of six and came for an early dinner at 4:15 during happy hour. We had reservations. The occasion was a college reunion, having met 51 years ago. We all live out of town except one member of the group owns a house here and recommended Aurum since she has been there several times. There are so many good things to say here. We love the entrance, with the cool bar and high ceiling. It really sets the ambiance. Our service was very good, not just our waitress but also those refilling water and clearing dishes. We ordered several dishes to share and every one was very good. The wedge salad was the best I have ever had and probably ever will have. I have ordered this at many restaurants and have never had one so tasty and filled with extra ingredients besides the basic bacon and blue cheese. The roasted cauliflower was very good. The hamburger was very good also even though it was a little too pink for some after ordering it to be cooked medium. We kept saying over and over "this is so good!" I will definitely go back here my next time in Breckenridge! read more

Aurum Breckenridge - Burger and fries with cauliflower in the background. - Bars Near Me - Breckenridge, Colorado

Aurum is one of the better restaurants in Breckenridge, not quite in the elite tier of, say, Radicato, but it is much easier to get into. The food here is generally what I would call New American with a little French influence. Items like steaks, duck, a great burger, etc., adorn the menu. They have a great kids menu with one of my daughter's favorite burgers, and they have excellent fries, really, really excellent fries. The wine list is well priced and has a number of good values on it. Service can be up and down, on a recent visit, I ordered a nice bottle of wine for the table, and the glasses came fresh out of the dishwasher, still quite warm to the touch and smelling strongly of detergent. The staff did rectify the issue, but a warm wine glass should be caught on touch at these price points. Similarly, service disappeared a few times during our meal, leading to a bit of an odd cadence for food and drink arrivals at the table. Five of us got drinks, with one arriving about 5 minutes later, and then all of us finished our first round as appetizers were arriving, waiting then to re-order. If I could give it 4.5 stars, I would, but alas, it is not an option. Aurum, however, should be an option for your next nice family meal. read more

Food was delicious, service was great, and ambience was perfect! Highly recommend the trout dish, Parker rolls, and the kale salad. My husband had the pasta special that was also very tasty. Cocktail wise, the martini with the Breckenridge Pear vodka was perfect. Wine selection by the glass is also very generous. The kids menu is also very impressive. read more

My favorite place for Hapoy Hour in Breck and top 3 restaurant! Food was amazing, our server Cherry was below average. We were there to celebrate 50th Birthday. She was rude, non attentive we had to ask other for drink refills and to order. Besides a very bd server, Arum is the best. Great apps to choose from: Korean chicken a must, cauliflower was spot on nd the burger was top notch. Great cocktails and one of our favs. This would be a 5 star but our bad service brought down this review. Highly recommend read more

We just stopped in on a busy night in Breck. The Uhler festival was happening and Main Street was packed. We found this on our walk for a restaurant. The place is very pretty. The little inside bar is beautiful with the tall full wall shelves. Service was very good. The mushroom soup was amazing! My husband loved his NY steak, cooked perfectly he said. The other 3 of us had the surf & turf with the crab cake. 2/3 steaks came out very nice cuts of meat. Mine however was very very fatty. The manager noticed when he was running plates and put another one on the fire immediately before we even noticed. That was outstanding service on his part. Personally the crab cake was a little fishy, it the other two loved theirs. Wine list is ok, nothing exotic or up to a wine lover. Wish there were more options But the cocktail list looked good! This is definitely a good restaurant, we will keep this on the rotation list when we come to Breckenridge. read more

Geez, after reading the recent reviews on this restaurant, I was hesitant to go. But I'm so glad we did. I can see why it's the best happy jour in town. What a steal. But we weren't there for happy hour. We opted to come later to enjoy the outdoor seating. Our service was fantastic and Tom took care of us. There was a choice of mocktails which I appreciate. Everything we ate was delicious. We opted for the crudo (so spicy and delicious), the Korean fried chicken (just do it), the burger (fantastic flavors) and a special pasta. For dessert it was the cookies (yes, yes yes!) and the Elvis (a little spicy dessert). We enjoyed our meal and unanimously agreed this was a five star experience. We are glad we didn't listen to the other reviews!! PS-to be fair, working a huge table is never fun and never turns out well. So I take these large table complaints with a groan of salt. read more

My family came here and paid premium for the tasting menu. We saw the great reviews on the normal menu food but could not find any reviews on the tasting menu. Honestly, the whole tasting menu turned out to be the most tasteless items we had ever experienced. My dad and my partner are NEVER ones to complain about food and always find the good in things; however, both also agreed that all of the dishes except one pasta dish had zero flavor. We were baffled; even the dessert was flavorless. Something must have been off that night. The server at first was not very friendly either; we had sat there for 40 min after ordering and still had not gotten our first dish so my partner asked him for bread or something to hold us over and the guy was rude to him, saying it was a tasting menu and things take time.... we were paying $120 + tax + tip per person; that was not a way to respond at all! to any customer! But anyway, in the end, they made it right by comping our meal (hence the 3 stars); except for the $18 alcohol drink lol. Why even bother? But anyway, to this day, we are still baffled at how they got such good reviews but the tasting menu was just not good at all. We have done several of these fine dining tasting menus before and have never been disappointed! read more

We made a reservation for happy hour in advance because we didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to try Breckenridge's best happy hour. But we're grateful for their flexibility in adding an additional member to the reservation. Service was super friendly, prompt, etc. everything you could ask for. Their cocktails on happy hour are also a great deal, but we also dabbled onto the full priced cocktail menu which had some really good cocktails. For food, highlights were the cauliflower, polenta, Korean fried chicken, hamachi crudo. Unfortunately, we didn't love the pork belly and all we got was fat. Looking at photos, i wonder if we just got a bad cut since the photos seem like that shouldn't be the case. The items with the pork belly was good which is why it was even more disappointing cause it had all the potential. We'll definitely tell friends to come to Aurum for HH but we may caution against the pork belly. read more
