Best Happy Hour in Breckenridge:
Blue River Bistro

February 27, 2026 / Lauren Parker

It isn’t every day you stumble upon a happy hour so good it’s worth going back multiple times in one week. Much less one that deserves a “Best of Breckenridge” award three years in a row. However, it isn’t every day that you come across a restaurant such as Blue River Bistro in Breckenridge. This local’s favorite offers high end food and drinks at an affordable price. It’s the perfect place for a time with the girl’s, apres-ski cocktails, or a happy hour date at the bar.

Our top recommended dishes are the Crispy Tiger Shrimp and Elote Dip. These appetizers pair perfectly with the dirty jalapeño martini or the pair-ginger-mint cocktails. All of these delicious treats are offered as a two for one deal from 3 to 5 p.m.

Grab a seat at the bar and catch the Broncos’ game, enjoy espresso martinis with the gals at brunch, or reserve a table for the whole family. However you choose to dine, Blue River Bistro is sure to satisfy.
