Ollie's is a great place to get off the street and away from the Main St. Crowd. Â Leaps and bounds better than another not to be named basement bar. Â Local dive'y feel that in no way caters to the touristy crowd! Â My kind of place.
Great Beer, Great Food, Good staff and all kinds of sports on the TV. Â Soccer, Baseball, Hockey, Hoop...they've got it all. Â As well as a cool dive bar'y feel. Â It's comfortable here and you can spend hours chatting with strangers. Â In fact it was so comfortable that I was hesitant to order food. Â I had the Chili Mac n Cheese and it was tremendous. Â Awesome!
Ollie's is in my 5 places to go every time I'm in Breck.
Our waitress disappeared for most of the time we were there. Most of us didn't even bother to order a second drink since service we would've waited ages. I don't know if she had a crappy day or what, but the waitress gave us the vibe that she didn't want to wait on us, so we eventually took our business elsewhere. There are bars around Breckenridge with better service than this place.
I suggest Absinthe Bar (although I'm not a fan of absinthe). There are other drinks you can order at the bar. The waitress was knowledgeable, personable, friendly, and helpful. The atmosphere is great and the people seem wonderful.
I am not sure I have ever had as much fun at a bar as I did one night at Ollie's. Â The kind of night that can only happen when you go out with no expectations with a great group of people. Â I am not sure if it was the games, the "all you can drink" special, or being the only ones who were not 'locals' but I feel like we turned this bar upside down in the best way possible.
When we got there is was kind of dead but we bought the "all you can drink" bracelets and got after it. Â Played 20 American Dollars worth of games and jukebox favorites, you are welcome for all the 90's hits and Ja Rule!! I am not sure when it happened but we walked back into the main room and the place had exploded!! Â It looked like "oh this is where all the lifties come once they are off work" bros everywhere! Â They had a tiny dance floor going which we took full advantage of, it was just like a high school mixer and playing the same songs they were in 2005, which made it even better! Â We stayed there all night, dancing on the tables, drinking our fill, smiling, laughing, and making wonderful 'vacation' friends. Â We truly seemed to be the only ones in the place who did not live in Frisco or Breck!
Thank you to the staff for putting on such a party! Â Everyone was great; the door, the bartenders, and all the people there! Â So much fun!!
During the day- friendly bartenders, good happy hour specials and great beer on tap. 5 stars!
At night- I waited at the bar for 20 minutes to get a drink. People around me were served and despite multiple attempts to get the blonde bartender's attention, it never happened. Plus everyone working behind the bar seemed to have a really shitty attitude, and the place was packed full of bros. Next time I'll pass...
I've only been to Ollie's once when I was in Breckenridge on vacation so I don't have to much of a history here. Â I can say that the IPA's on tap are very good; if you like hops, you'll enjoy these IPAs. Â Additionally, their nacho platter is huge and delicious, packed with all sorts of goodness. Â If I find myself back in Breckenridge, I'll definitely make a return visit to Ollie's. Â I'm a fan.
Review Source:Came here after a LONG (read: three hours of digging out) day of snowmobiling. Â
Well, it might have taken longer than that to get our food. Â We were seated rather promptly.....and then.....nothing. Â
About 5 minutes to see our server - not TOO bad. Â Got drink orders and beers arrives fairly promptly.
Then......a good 10-15 minutes before she came back. Â Took our order, which included Appetizers and thought we were good.
We got the "Chefs Cheezy Salty Balls" and the Cheese Fries. Â The Salty Balls took a good 18-20 minutes to arrive and the Cheese Fries were at least 10 minutes behind those. Â So now, we're 25 minutes in JUST getting to the appetizers.
Oh, and on the Salty Balls - these are about 87% dough and 13% cheese. Â And, they were served with about 2/3 oz. of marinara sauce. Â A ridiculously small amount. Â We asked for more and got....our server then brought us like 5 large servings (even though we were now 3/4 finished with them).......AND THEN WE GOT CHARGED FOR THE EXTRA MARINARA!!!!
The Cheese Fries were really, really good.
Got the main dishes, food was pretty good. Â But, they also took another solid 20 minutes.
But overall, WOW - this took FOR E VER.
Fix your kitchen, fix your staff, whatever - this was ridiculous.
Maybe it was because I was hungover, maybe it was because they were having a bad day(I wouldn't know since it was my first time here) or maybe they're just not that good, but I really didn't care for anything on our table except for the fries. Â I ordered the blackened fish burrito and ended up picking all the fish out. Â It definitely wasn't blackened. Â And does tilapia taste fishy? Â I didn't think that was possible but it definitely did in my burrito so out you go fishy fish. Â The burrito filling itself was pretty good and that's what I ate with fries, yeah, that's right. Â Don't judge. Â My friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich and that's what it was. Â Nothing too special about it. The other guest at the table had the burger and it just looked sad. Â It didn't appear to be hand pattied or juicy. Â I was disappointed as I recommended this place based on other reviews...lesson learned I guess. Â On the plus side, the service was friendly and there were a lot of beers on tap.
Review Source:A great spot to get together with friends after a hard day on the slopes.
+ photobooth
+ lots of TVs showing sports games and highlights
+ punching bag video game
+ NBA Jam video game!!!
+ great jalapeno artichoke dip
+ jukebox with the ability to play songs directly from your phone via an app
+ good beer selection at the right price and you can get pitchers!
I came here with long time friends and this was a perfect start to a blurry night! Â Stephanie was our awesome ninja server. Â Lock, stocked and it was excellent service. Â The food was the jam! Â I got the Rueben which I must safely say is a good determining factor for pub grub and it was basically perfect. Â Crispy bread, good kraut and not too salty pastrami. Â Another bud got the nachos and it was a gracious serving of feed everyone at the table. Â Another note was that Stephanie was ridiculously knowledgable and gave us great suggestions on beers. Â The atmosphere is also really chillax as well which is perfect for a great set of conversations or mingling with the locals. Â Definitely returning!
Review Source:Walked in by chance after a day of hiking nearby, needless to say we were in need of hearty food and a warm place to enjoy some beverages. When we walked in, we got a friendly greeting from the bartender who told us to sit anywhere. The server was genuinely friendly and provided quick service.
We came in on a Wednesday which was 2 dollar burger night, and happy hour was $3.50 colorado crafts on draft and $3.00 wells. They have a lot on tap and a pretty large wrap-around bar. Plenty of seating with cool wooden tables, some old school video games, not to mention the bluegrass and Phish that was being played. It all made for a great authentic pub atmosphere and proved to be exactly what we were looking for. I started out splitting some fried pickles with a friend and got a burger with a fried egg, mushrooms, bbq sauce, and of course, bacon. The pickles were quite the sizable pile, so I unfortunately wasn't able to finish the burger, but took the rest home (mmmm, re-heated burger) (don't knock it till you try it).
If you're wondering around Breckenridge looking for a cool place to eat and drink, go no further than Ollies!
Fun college type sports bar. Â Great place to watch football. Â The vibe was really fun, the menu is varied and not the typical bar food. Â Beers were cold and kept coming at the pace that made us happy. Â It was a short walk from our condo even though it was downhill! Â Fun staff and good experience overall. Â Check it out!
Review Source:Good food, strong drinks, good service. It was a busy night for Monday night football but the service was fast. The waitress warned us that the kitchen was a little backed up so to get our food orders in whenever we were ready but the wait on our food was not long at all and it was really good! Waitress was very attentive and very nice, great service for such a busy night.
Review Source:For limited options in Breckinrdge, this local bar certainly delivers if you're looking for a great place to drink a beer and watch sports! With countless HD flat-panel televisions and a diverse selections of beers on tap (plus a great quick weekend breakfast menu), I'll be sure to stop in next time I venture up to the mountains!
Review Source:I enjoy this super casual pub in Frisco and was happy to see that it opened in what used to be Ullr's on Main Street over the summer. They have a bunch of great burgers under $10 and perfect curly fries! Not orange, just like a regular fry but curled. I love them. In addition to a bargain happy hour with half off apps and discounted beers, they also have daily drink specials, like $4 Breckenridge Distillery whiskey cocktails on Fridays (served in a pint glass, big time) along with $2 PBR tallboys, and $4 bloody marys on Saturdays. They have a lot of sandwiches, including some vegetarian, as well as soup, chili, mac and cheese (you can add broccoli or chicken if you want), salads, gyros and desserts like brownie sundaes. You can find almost any fried food you're craving: pickles, chicken strips (regular and buffalo sauced), wings, mozzarella balls and plenty more. There is a slightly more quiet dining room off to one side, or a rowdier large bar area. Tons of tvs for sports watchers. Their draft beer list features many Colorado craft breweries, and in particular quite a few from mountain brewers like Dillon Dam, Pug Ryan's and Backcountry. Nothing fancy. Friendly service. Huge portions. And the tables do look like strips of bacon!
Review Source:I like a place that treats you like a regular on your second night in town...we'll credit Handsome for that. Yes, we started calling our bartender Handsome because we couldn't seem to remember his name...a few too many Milk Stouts has that affect on a girl.
What makes this place so awesome is not the mediocre food but the atmosphere. If you like to chill at a bar and randomly sing along to the music, go right ahead. If you want to appreciate the ability to just make your own dance floor wherever you are because the mood strikes you, please do. If you want to make conversation with all sorts of folks, do it. If you like to laugh at ridiculously drunken messes of people, then this is your place.
Sang aloud to tunes, danced with strangers, laughed at messes, met some folks.
Great service. Decent prices. Perfect location.
Came here this summer and was NOT impressed! The Margarita's were the worst I have EVER had in my entire life......our waitress forgot about us when a large group came in. Â Luckily the guy who brought us our food was kind enough to get us anything else we needed (but charged extra for side dressing)......but the waitress disappeared until it was time to pay the check...the group behind us got their app after their main food came and they seemed a bitt PO'ed as well.
Review Source:The staff was extremely nice and attentive. Food was about average for ski town bar food; not great and overpriced. Great selection of beers.
The Chicago theme is extremely lame. Nobody cares.
This place used to be sort of a dive bar. Now it feels like it's trying to double as a family restaurant and dive bar. It received a makeover and now feels kind of.... chain-ish?
I am in love with this place!!
The staff is super friendly and attentive. Even when it is busy they are on top of it.
Beer selection is ample and happy hour prices rock, especially for what you often pay in ski towns.
The downstairs, chill atmosphere reminds me of hanging out a friend's place. The crowd has been fun everytime I have been in Ollie's.
The food is great and they were fantastic about my dietary needs. It is nicer than bar food, and their fries are crispy and yummy!! All the veggies were fresh and tasty. My boyfriend also has enjoyed everything he has gotten there too.
There is a great boxing game that always provides entertainment as well as other games and tons of sports on all their TVs. Â
This is the place to hang out when you are in Breck!!
I never knew about Ollie's for 4 years, until one of my ski buddies told me about it. His old ski house used to be a block away so he ended up being a regular here.
It's a cool little bar. They have great margaritas for $4 during happy hour. Their pickle chips and mushrooms had light breeding and were great, better than most other places I've been to.
The fries were crispy and perfectly salted; which I find to be something rare these days (too many places I go to have simple 'ok' fries)
Would come back for sure for some grub and libations after snowboarding.
Best place to watch sports in town.
On wednesday, they have $2 burgers, with 50 cent add-ons for toppings.
Every other night, they have a drink and/or food special.
I enjoy watching games here, because they use the television's sound instead of music...although over the years I have gotten quite good at reading Kirk Herbstreit's lips.
Local Tip:
Park in the F Lot or Tiger Dredge Lot and walk across the bridge.
My Favorite bar to visit whenever I'm in Breck! Â Staff is cool and friendly. Great bar food and a bunch of TV's to watch the game. Â The great part about the place is you get a mixture of locals and tourist. Â I always end up meeting cool people when I sit down for a pint of bitter or 10!
Review Source:This is an awesome laid back gem in downtown breck.
I came here on a saturday night after skiing and checking out the dew tour. Needless to say everywhere was crowded, including Ollie's. Even with the crowd, and a cowboys game going on the host was able to get us seated within 10min, bravo!
The bar has a bit of a Chicago theme - Hawks/Bulls/Cubs/etc flags and memorabilia ont he walls and such. Some of the servers/bartenders had various midwest team hats on also. Kinda made me feel at home. Its a pretty typical laid back sports bar.. though their tap list is a bit better than the usual. Lots of great colorado beers on tap.
Our server was super stressed out, it must have been one of their busiest days in a while. She was running around like mad... she did neglect us a bit, but wasnt too bad. We were able to order some appetizers and food, all of which came out in good time. For the apps we had some fried pickles and cheesy salty balls. Both are awesome, especially the fried pickles...some of the best I have had in a while. I had the mother clucker sandwich - a buffalo chicken sandwich with blue cheese dressing and crumbles along with tomato/lettuce. It was served on a hoagie style bun instead of the usual burger bun. Very awesome! And the best part? CURLY FRIES!!! Im talking like as good as arbys, yeah!
So after dinner as the night wore on a bit some of the more buzzed bros decided to start testing out their manhood on the punching bag game. This was hilarious, they even got some girls to join in after buying them drinks lol... They also have a few other games and even a foosball table.
Overall a great spot, I will definitely be coming back when I am out in Breck next time.
If you are into bars located in the basement of buildings, where you can escape the heat, and kick back and have a cold brewski...than this is your place. Located in the middle of Main st. in Breckenridge Colorado, this little dungeon allures its beer drinkers in with at least 15-20 Colorado beers on tap. Â Whether you want something from Breckenridge Brewery, or something hoppy from Boulder, this place has many choices for you to sip on.
Not only is their wide variety of beer a plus. Â They make themselves stand out even more by having a huge menu with many different types of fare to choose from. Me and my lady friend decided to stuff our faces with the jalapeno artichoke dip, which comes with a lavish array of dipping options, from pita to carrots, celery, or even chips.
I can gladly testify that I will be making my way back to Ollie's pub and grub. Did I mention our server had some weird six sense or mind reading skill where she knew exactly what and when she could get us something. Weird.
I suggest anyone take a break from Breck's intense shopping experience, and stop and have a cold one to top off your day. Kudos.
