As one of Best of Breck’s 2023 Award winners, you won’t want to skip out on this hot spot!
Local’s Guide: Try a gourmet grilled cheese from their kitchen! Our favorite is the Figgy Smalls or Smokestack Lighting. Then, make sure you try the Sinister Minister (a twist on the traditional Moscow Mule) or the Juan Too Many (it’s impossible to only drink one; they’re too good).
