Downstairs at Eric's
Main Street, Breckenridge
A beloved basement bar and arcade on Main Street that's been Breck's go-to for cheap beers, solid bar food, and video games for decades. The kind of place every ski town needs.
Why We Like It
Eric's is the anti-Vail. It's a glorious basement dive with arcade games, pool tables, and some of the best bar food in Summit County at prices that won't make you wince. The pizza is better than it has any right to be, the beer list is deep, and the crowd is a perfect mix of locals and visitors. This is real Breck.
Earlier guide details
Earlier menu idea: A pizza and a local craft beer -- keep it simple. Choose from the restaurant’s current menu when you visit.
