Our second time to this location while we're in town this week. My wife loves the Mug of Thunder and wanted to return here, since the other location on the north end of town didn't have it on tap when we visited there a few days ago. I stated with a glass of the Lostoberfest Marzen, which I had tasted in a flight earlier in the week, and my wife had ordered from the other location at the same time. After that first glass, I went back to the Coconut Porter, which has become my go-to here earlier in the week, as well as on previous visits. Both Broken Compass locations are great spots, and we visit each at least once (if not more) when we're in town. Beertenders are friendly, and there's often a good selection of dogs to pet as well, which helps us cope when ours isn't with us. Drink beer, pet dogs. Words to live by. read more

Great brewery in the town of Breckenridge! This location was sooo close to so many stores and restaurants. Super easy to get to from the parking lots in town and you could take the free trolley to and from the brewery. Service was excellent! Lots of indoor seating and minimal outdoor seating. The outdoor patio was not set up for seating but it was too nice out to not be out there. Beers were delicious and our beer tender was wonderful. Definitely recommend stopping by read more

Super cute dog friendly (inside!) brewery right next to our hotel and in the mix. Beer was delicious (try the coconut porter! Husband loved the hazy IPA too) and everyone was super friendly. No food but you can bring in pizza etc from the spots next door. Will be back! read more

Broken Compass once located in the outskirts of town, now has a location on Main Street and it's amazing. The team works both locations. It's evident they have a passion for beer and community. They want to invite you into their community and are so welcoming. Shoutout to Claire, she is amazing! They serve up delicious beer. Their fall coconut porter just might be my favorite beer of all time--absolutely top 3. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating at their Main Street location. It's a super casual spot with boardgames available. You can bring in your own food, if you'd like. It's a great hangout spot with awesome folks behind the bar. September 2024 read more

Fine experience! My boyfriend loves craft beer so this was the perfect spot for him but they don't have anything else to drink besides beer and don't serve food! The staff was very nice though and had lots of board games to play read more

Brought our dog to Breck & needed a beer. Voila our hopes & wishes were solved. This place has amazing craft beer, the staff is super friendly & the dogs have a blast. Imagine the vibe of a bar full of dog & beer loving people -- flawless! read more

Broken Compass Brewing - Main Street - Breweries Near Me - Breckenridge, Colorado

I will start out by saying that I am a local and my son and I have been coming here with his dog since Covid. It is our favorite place to come once a week and catch up. We love the beer and the local restaurants offering takeout for our beer and lunch. That said, we have been experiencing a gratuitous lack of honoring the leashing your dog policy by the bartenders and their barstool buddies. despite the signs about having all dogs on leash they never are and the dogs can get pretty pushy if you have food at your table. Today our small dog was very intimidated by 2 dogs owned by the bartender and his friend. They were in her business and making her upset. not cool at all. She is always on leash as are all visiting dogs. Please enforce the leash policy on your employees and their bar buddies. read more

I didn't try the food here (it just seemed to be snacks) - but I did come in alone (around 9pm on a Sunday), and I ordered a flight of 6 to try (for $16). I don't think I disliked any of them - but that porter really stood out. Service - what more can I say? Jake (the bartender) has been living in Breck for over 15 years - but you'd never be able to tell (just by looking at him, anyway) that he's from Long Island (NYC!). The service was awesome - I saw him recommend the double IPA to folks and them loving it - I actually feel kinda sheepish for not asking the bartender what I should get - because I usually do ask for their recommendation! Ambiance - it's a big place, but it's quite quaint and quiet. If you want an intimate conversation, you can have one without feeling uncomfortable. If you want a big table to share a beer with friends, they definitely have that too! Anyway - this is a pretty straightforward recommendation. If you're in town - drop by - Jake's a fantastic person to talk to, and fun to be around. read more

Great beers Amazing atmosphere Super cool dog! Seating was busy as many crowds came in and out. Outdoor seating is preferred if you need to people watch read more

This is a great indoor and outdoor brewery. Dogs are also welcome since they do not serve food. They had numerous selections of beer. You walk up to the bar and order. They also have a water station. We had a few IPAs and sours. All really nice. They also have stickers available. They offer free ones and other sets for purchase. This will be my new go to beer place when I am back in town. read more

Got to sample several beers before making a decision. It was tough because they were all very good. The bartender was very nice and helpful. Would recommend a stop at this very cook spot! read more

My favorite brewery that I visited when I was in town. Lots of tables and lots of beer options. I tried the Mango sour and it was perfect. If you are in need of a place to hang out and wait for your friends to get off the ski hill I highly recommend stopping in here. The bartender was also very friendly, attentive and chatty with everyone. You could tell he liked what we doing. Go have a beer or two! read more

Broken Compass Brewing - Main Street - Sour - Breweries Near Me - Breckenridge, Colorado

I've been to this outpost multiple times and the assortment of beers they carry are delicious. During my most recent visit, we popped in for an early afternoon weekday beer. Heck, it was my birthday after all! The place was empty rightfully so, but the staff were über down to party and made us feel at home. They do a great job with hoppy varietals. Their west coast IPA with grapefruit reminds me of one of the flagship beers at a brewery I used to work for back in Florida many moons ago. Hint of fruity with a bitter backbone. New beers I tried on this visit were the coconut porter and peach sour (hell yeah, Palisades!). These were also fantastic. When I came here in 2021 the bar was in the middle of the room. Now they've remodeled and shifted the bar to the back left corner, opening up the space. Either way, it works for this guy. I'm sure Breck loves these cats. Broken Compass makes the best craft beers in Breck, no contest if you ask me. And even if they were in a more densely populated city like Denver, I know people would still flock to them! PS, wait till you see their phone charging stations at the main bar #mindblown. read more

Every time I've been in here, the staff makes me feel very welcome. The beer is solid but again the staff is why I keep going back. Very friendly welcoming makes you feel at home. read more

Sad to be writing this as it's one of my favorite breweries in the area. Had a great experience last night at a different location. This review is purely based on customer service, not the beer. Came in after skiing. Ordered a beer. Bartender seemed nice enough, no bad vibes. Sat down, and my wife was feeling a little altitude sickness (she doesn't even drink). She had her eyes closed while sitting up trying to keep from getting more nauseous. We were sitting at a table next to the bar, bar was pretty full. Suddenly bartender surprised us by saying really loudly, "Hey I know your friend's not drunk but she can't sleep here." Caught me off-guard and took a minute to process he was talking to us; kind of felt eyes on us from the surrounding customers. I get they don't want people sleeping due to optics. That's not the problem. It was the way it was delivered that was the issue. He could have politely walked over and said quietly, "Hey I'm sorry, it's not my rule but we can't have people in here looking like they're sleeping.". Just very unnecessary and kind of embarrassing. Not cool. She ended up vomiting in the restroom, which had no soap or paper towels. Was going to get beer to go and buy a shirt but decided not; not that they're hurting for money, but still a lost sale. Won't be back. Maybe the guy just didn't think before he spoke or acted, but having tact in the service industry is kind of important. read more

No wonder why Broken Compass is so popular! I came here with a few friends on a Saturday afternoon in January when it was understandably crowded with snow sport folks... AND their dogs. So many different draft options. I enjoyed the Snow Blind Double IPA, which was tasty. You might get lucky and grab a bench, but I was cramped against one corner of the bar. Still a fantastic 5-star brewery experience I'd repeat again. read more

Awesome place to go if you like beer and dogs! My husband, best friend, and I took our 4 dogs (which are allowed inside) and were very happy to find 3 other tables with their dogs with them. We did a flight of 6 beers to try. I'm not a crazy beer person but we finished the flight without issue. My favorite was the Fruit Ninja, husband liked the Irish red, and my friend liked the seltzer. Will definitely be going back! The atmosphere was very laid back and who doesn't like seeing tons of dogs?? read more

Broken Compass Brewing - Main Street - Our flight of 6 beers. - Breweries Near Me - Breckenridge, Colorado

Chill vibes and chill bartenders. Overall low key but a little bit popping with the music. Excellent beer! We ordered a flight with: Beery Joel (Vienna lager) - light, nicely smooth, crisp, and a little malty Get to the Choppa (black lager) - a little smoky, light, a little bitter Coconut Porter - absolutely delicious, dripping with coconut flavor which compliments thebl porter perfectly Fruit Ninja - the watermelon and strawberry come through, fruity and refreshing Snow Blind (double IPA) - rich and fruity hop flavors with a touch of bitterness, I usually don't like IPAs but enjoyed this one Cranzberry Sour - tart and sweet, well executed fruited sour read more

Beer was the best in town! The inside smelt because I think there was a toilet or two clogged but the patio was nice outside to sit on. The double IPA and summer IPA were my favorite! read more

Same great Beer selection, but in a more convenient pub crawl- friendly area...Of course, it doesn't have the same feel or the points reward system, but it has a nice vibe to it and appears pretty dog friendly too!! read more

Downtown Breck has a new spot to grab great craft beer and enjoy the scene! Albeit pandemic times, Broken Compass did a phenomenal job of making our "night-out" feel as normal as it could. CDC guidelines are clearly followed (contact tracing, masks when not seated, table spacing, etc.)- but the CDC doesn't say anything about jamming music! They had some great tunes cranking and playing, as well as some fun bright lights to add atmosphere. Our beers were all top-notch. Seriously- everyone at the table (all 4 of us, mind you COVID) were thoroughly impressed with the stout, sour, IPA, and double IPA. If you've been to the other Broken Compass location, you know their beers are excellent and they know what they're doing. Only minor downside one guy in our team pointed out was the selection here was a bit smaller than the other; I think they had 8 taps? But it might be growing more shortly! So raise a glass, don your mask, and come celebrate Breck's newest brewery downtown! read more

What a gem! The best 90's cover band! El Paso Lasso!!! Great atmosphere at Broken Compass !

Drink beer pet dogs! Love this place. Stopped by to have some beers and we're instantly greeted by a dog (not sure whose) but a nice friendly dog! Had a few beers and didn't have anything bad to say about them. Playing some serious vibes and loved the vibes inside. Had plenty of merch, didn't have the size/style I wanted but hopefully before we leave we'll try and stop by again. Nice place for some good beers and the fact they are dog friendly is a major plus. Wish our pups from Florida were here to enjoy the vibes with us! Cheers! read more

The service was super funny and friendly- loved their jokes and their willingness to let us try different beers. We tried all the hazy IPAs, but found the Jamba to be the sweetest and went with that. I went with the strawberry blonde, which I liked- it's definitely a candy strawberry flavor, rather than a true strawberry flavor, but not too overboard so that it's undrinkable. I enjoyed it but it's definitely sweet. Great brewery for Breckinridge! read more

This is a brewery only and does not serve food. It is self serve from what we experienced so be prepared to wait at the bar and fingers crossed there isn't a lot people sitting at it. The bar itself was heavily decorated with merch and they did have some nice hats. One point that they drive home is that they are dog friendly and when we were there I seen two dogs. If you didn't know it was dog friendly prior to going you would as soon as you opened the door as the smell of dog hits you in the face and does not make the experience enjoyable. I love dogs and personally at one point had 3 living inside my house and my house never smelt like that! read more

Broken Compass Brewing - Main Street - Coconut porter on left, tangerine dream on right - Breweries Near Me - Breckenridge, Colorado

Recommended: Highly, highly, yes! Service: EXCELLENT! SUPERB! ABOVE AND BEYOND! FRIENDLY! INTENTIONAL! I cannot say enough amazing things about the customer service at this bar. The bartenders really know their beers and are able to speak to it with much knowledge. I was served by two different bartenders, Jordan and Michael. I truly enjoyed getting to know them and felt so comfortable talking to them like we were friends! :) This place LOVES people and excels at making people feel that. They speak highly of the work they do and express how much they love working there. If I lived in Breckenridge I'd come here often and would love to work alongside these amazing people. Keep up the great work!! Drink: My favorite is the Mango Passionfruit Sour. I also was granted the opportunity to partake in a few seltzer shots and which was the most unique tasting seltzer that didn't leave a weird flavor in your mouth. It also has a pretty high ABV considering it's a seltzer. Jordan encouraged me to try the Coconut Porter and the Chili Pepper Ale. Both had such unique flavors - o really enjoyed both. Environment: The playlists are amazing especially for those in their 30/40s. :) Outdoor seating available along with open-concept indoor seating with decent amount of bar-seating. DOGS ARE WELCOMED!! If you can't tell, this place brings me a lot of joy. I'm not done with my trip yet, and I will be bringing my friends here when they arrive. read more

The passionfruit mango sour was great. I wished I wasn't so full from lunch so I could have tried more beers! They have a lot of great merchandise and everyone was very friendly. Very cute place with a nice patio with seating outside. read more

Came in on a Saturday Evening in January with 5 girlfriends, and we walked right up to the bar, ordered our beers, and found a table. The place was pretty full, but still had space to sit and make ourselves comfortable. Very casual, everyone was in their ski/winter gear and there were a couple of dogs walking around, some on leashes others not. Great selection of beer and swag. read more

Coconut Porter. That's all. Coconut Porter. Yes they have other beers that are fine beers but did I mention the Coconut Porter? Giddyup! !

loved the Hazy IPAs here and that it is dog friendly. the people here are nice and the atmosphere is great! definitely recommend during your time here in Breckenridge! read more

I'm upset I can't rate higher than a 5! The team is warm, welcoming, and fun! The moment we placed our order, we felt like family! I don't drink (like... at all.. judge me LOL), I sat with my fiancé and tasted a sip of each flight (always hoping one day I'll enjoy beer) TODAY WAS THAT DAY! Broken compass has a Strawberry blonde beer that is delightful! Lauren (our bartender on our THIRD visit ... in a day) is without a doubt the best person I've met in Breck so far and that's saying something considering everyone has been wonderful! Make sure Broken Compass is FIRST on your trip itinerary! PS their apparel line of 'drink beer, pet dogs' gear will have you buying one of every color...including the baby onesies that say 'drink milk, pet dogs' THANK YOU for such a great time!! read more

This brewery is just out of town, but if you want a taste of what they offer step in here. Truly artisan beer brewing. Order a flight and take some risks, because the best beer they have on tap right now is the "Gettin chill with it." Then, go find the brewery on Airport to see the real deal in action. Such a fun vibe. read more

Loved this place. Anywhere that allows my dog inside is an immediate 3 stars, but everything else was great too. We went as soon as they opened for brunch.

Highly recommend. read more

Great beer! The staff is friendly and welcoming. The only downside is that they don't sell food (for those fellow foodies that love to munch while they drink beer). However, they had this huge binder of nearby restaurants that offer takeout and delivery. They absolutely don't mind that you bring food into their brewery, which is great. I had the Indian beer and it was so smooth and tasty. Truly one of the best beers I've had. The ambience was great. We all had a great time! read more
