I stumbled across the new location on its opening weekend on the upper level, and I'm so glad I…read moredid. I had been going to their other spot about a mile up the road for a while but after a cold winter night of camping this ended up being the perfect post-adventure stop. The exterior already looks incredible, and it only gets better once you step inside. There's a beautiful fireplace, huge windows with great views, and a thoughtful mix of seating low tops, high tops, and spacious bar seating. That's just the upper level. The lower level wasn't open yet this weekend, but I took a peek and it looks incredibly cozy, with great wall decor and a really inviting layout. The food was fantastic and not just because I was coming off campsite meals. Everything was genuinely great. The cucumber appetizer dish reminded me of pepinos con chile and was especially good, and you really can't go wrong with the pizza here. The staff were also wonderful. You could tell they were adjusting to a brand-new space, but they were still warm, attentive, and clearly excited to be there. I'm already looking forward to coming back, especially after hikes and more camping trips. This place is going to be a go-to

You might be stuck eating here if you're desperate for a meal along I -70 but i personally found…read morethe experience disappointing. There's plenty of outdoor seating along the water which is nice vibes on a nice weather day. There are benches along the shade too and indoor spots. They charge for any modification which I didn't realize until they rung up my entire order. Sauces are $1 and tomatos are $2 which feels extreme. Second, they got my order wrong, and it was missing ingredient. The buffalo chicken tots were disappointing because they were essentially just some buffalo sauce on tots. Literally didn't have any chicken or cheese or anything. Food was fairly disappointing. For instance, the bun on the burger wasn't toasted it was cold and stale so it sorta fell apart as I was eating. I don't think I'd return for the food at all.

The meat is incredibly tender and juicy, literally falling right off the bone. You can taste the quality and flavor in every bite. The brisket sandwich was absolutely outstanding too -- smoky, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Pair it all with a cold beer, and it completely tops off the experience. Great atmosphere, great service, and definitely a place we'll keep coming back to!

I don't think I've ever had a better French dip sandwich in my life. Everything was seasoned perfectly, and THOSE BEANS! Unbelievably good. I would walk up the canyon from Boulder if it meant getting a seat at the bar with company as good as the bartender, Dylan. He was informative and friendly without ever being overbearing, which is a rare balance. This restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine. Beautiful mountain views, great beer, good company, and fantastic BBQ. What else could you ask for in life?

What a great location! We stopped in after a hike…read more Menu has a lot variety. We started with a pretzel and jumbo tots, they were delicious. I was torn between the swedish meatballs and the birria French dip, I got one and my friend got the other. Both were unique in their own way. It was so filing. Plenty of sides. My husband got sausage sandwich, and he said it was flavorful. The salt and vinager chips were different, most of our table did not like them. The waiter was very busy but nice. It took a monent to get our check. I wasn't ever asked if I wanted another beer. I fell like they are more a restaurant than a brewery. They have their core beers, nothing posted about flights or the new rotating beers. Not even a little slip of paper explaining the new beers.

Our second time to the original Broken Compass location, we like visiting both spots when in town…read more It's cool to go where the locals go, and we don't feel too out of place that everyone knows each other, other than us, because there's lots of dogs to pet while we're there. Drink beer and pet dogs is a very fitting slogan for this place. Wanting to try some different beers tonight, we had quite the flight: 1 - American Dream Cream Ale 2 - Irish Red 3 - Mexican Lager 4 - Ginger Pale Ale 5 - Fruit Ninja Blonde 8 - Lostoberfest Marzen 10 - Mangy Moose Spruce Tip Pale Ale My two favorites were the Cream Ale and the Marzen. Following the flight, I enjoyed a pint of the Cream Ale. My wife liked the Marzen and the Mangy Moose the best, and she enjoyed two pints of the Marzen. Employees and customers are all very friendly. A definite stop when we're in Breckenridge.

Best brewery in Breck.

We fell in love with their original location years ago. Their beer is fantastic. The service and atmosphere, though, is what keeps us coming back. The Broken Compass team works at both locations. Claire was our favorite team member but everyone on the team does a great job at inviting you to feel welcome. They're amazing. My favorite beer is their coconut porter. It has a hint of fresh coconut and is a lighter side of porter, not too syrupy. It's well balanced and might I dare say--it's perfect. That said, I haven't had a beer here that I didn't like. They have a great layout at the original location, though you wouldn't think it being in a commercial warehouse. There's a big garage door that opens in the back to outdoor seating. There's this amazing mural in the back of the building. The crowd there all seem to know each other which I am amazed at each time we visit. It's a more local vibe at the original location than the more touristy accessible location on Main Street. The original location has a super cozy vibe, lots of board games (or bring your own). It's a great place to hangout for a few hours. They also have a shuttle that takes patrons back to Main Street. Just call or ask the crew for more details. Again, favorite brewery in Breck. Thanks Claire and team! September 2024

They also have a great assortment of games to play, including some pinball machines. This is all set to the appropriate mountain wood/log vibe on the interior. It also appeared to have a great outdoor eating area for the warmer months. This is a must-visit destination in Colorado!

I would classify this restaurant as sort of a roadhouse with a large bar, pool table, arcade games, and projection screen. They are set up as a fast casual restaurant ordering food and drinks at the bar and waiting for your order.

Hardly any vegetables, but a lot of yummy, smoked, and meaty pieces served in a slightly spicy broth. Their salad looked good and the kids liked their grilled cheeses with side car's of ice cream so everyone was happy. Staff was friendly and stated that they actually have many families with children come by so don't be scared.
