Beaver Run Resort and Conference Center

I haven’t had much experience here yet and I will be here for the next 6 days, but so far it gets a 2 star.
It took me 20 minutes to check in. When I say 20 minutes I mean there was no line when I got there and it took 20 minutes to check in. The guy had no clue what he was doing and went to the back room 3 minutes at a time to get approval for stuff… Approval for what I don’t know. After he checked me in he asked me if I was splitting the bill with the person I was staying with and I said yes. He said Uh oh and had to recheck me in all over Again. That took another 10 minutes. Why? Don’t people check in everyday, dude? It’s your job. To literally Check people in. They also charged me for my half of the room PLUS put an authorization of the WHOLE amount on my credit card. Why??? That makes no sense.
The resort has four buildings and the hotel is by far the crappiest looking. It’s also crappy walking to the hotel because you need to walk through the lobby, through an arcade then outside which looks like the top of a building, then finally to the hotel. There signs are incredibly confusing. Floor 5 is on the main floor and the rest of the floors are below. Pretty confusing. The room is nice though.
I then started wandering around the resort. I followed signs for the fitness center and it disappeared. I never found it. Also, one of the bars has a downstairs but when I went downstairs it was a cafeteria with a market. I was hoping for extra seats and full service.
We shall see how the rest of the stay goes.

We stayed at Beaver Run Resort for our honeymoon at the end of April. My new husband has wanted to visit Colorado for years so he took some advice from a friend and settled on Breckenridge and Beaver Run. I really wish somewhere we would have been told that during «mud season» basically the entire town closes. So here we are for 6 days with almost nowhere to go and nothing to do. We don’t ski so we weren’t expecting that. Well we made do! I did love that there was an aire of seclusion and we didn’t have so many people around. We took advantage of the hot tubs and pool and Spencers bar for dinner. The suite we stayed in was perfect except for one thing… The bathroom. We knew we were getting a jetted tub but we didn’t know we weren’t getting a shower… There was a hand held faucet you attached to the wall in the tub that was used as the shower. When standing in the tub to shower was a little challenging especially for my 6’6″ husband who had to crouch to take a shower as his head hit the ceiling. We loved having a kitchen and cooked breakfast in everyday The view we had was amazing. All in all we really enjoyed our stay.

Location is the only reason to stay at this place. We got an updated refurbished room and it was still outdated. The room was so stuffy it was suffocating, we had to have the windows and sliding glass doors open to just be in the room. They have a shuttle service which will take you in and out of town, which is nice, but you’ll wait at least 20 minutes for the shuttle every time. The rest of the hotel is pretty outdated too, reminded me of the Shinning. Overall we had a great time in Breck, and will be going back, but we will not be staying at Beaver Run again.

Very good location — right at Peak 9 which was perfect for us! Shuttle services were great dropping off, and a lot of the free rides come by also. Suggestions on picking up in town: it’s best to find the shuttle signs and then call the hotel to tell them what # stop to come pick up. Stay at building 4 if you are mainly skiing, it is right there by the slopes. It’s an older resort, you can certainly tell but overall we enjoyed our stay!

Been going to this place since 2001; long before the renovation. It used to be a long, narrow bar with the free spicy snacks. Ahhh.
They renovated about 5 years ago I think, maybe a bit longer, and always have solid bartenders working there, and relative to other ski-​resorts, the beers are pretty cheap. They used to have season-​pass specials, not sure if that’s the case any more. Food is ok, again, relatively cheap for a ski resort. Quick service. Sitting belly-​up at the bar is the way to go. Catch up on NFL or NCAA basketball while you wait for the lines to die down around 2pm. Usually they have entertainment (band) in the afternoon. I never struggle to strike up conversation with fellow skiers and riders, and everyone is usually in a great mood in this place.
2 thumbs up, best ski resort bar in Colorado.

After skiing all day, perfect place to stop for a pitcher of beer and snacks to unwind. Right off the lifts, pop off your skis and enjoy!

Expect to be over charged for everything! Other than that, you have to admit — Ski-​in, ski-​out bars make apres ski fun and easy.

The restaurant is usually very crowded since all the skiers get hungry around the same time, so be ready to wait in long lines for food and be patient in trying to find some seating. They do have an interesting selection of dishes beyond the typical burger and hot dog. My friends and I got the pulled pork sandwich, burger and Thai noodles. The burger was pretty standard but the pulled pork and Thai noodles came in huge portions. If you’re not too hungry or don’t want to be too stuffed when you get back out onto the slopes I would recommend sharing the entrees.

I had two different takes on this place.
Café — Downstairs mid day break — Went in for a break, and found an excellent selection of drinks, snacks, food, etc. (downstairs) in a ski lodge cafeteria style setting. Also had wine there as well. Then figured out how to get upstairs. Took my drinks up to the patio upstairs.
Patio Outside — mid day break — great patio, energy, BBQ, etc.
Bar/​Café — Late afternoon food /​drinks — The smell of the pastrami lured me in, and we enjoyed that, drinks, veggie burgers, etc.
I know you could eat for less somewhere else, but location, location, location … :)

We ordered the nachos, chicken fingers and beers. Chicken fingers were ground chicken, gross. Nachos were mediocre at best. Server mixed up our checks. Eat at a different base, there is MUCH better food on the mountain than this.

A great place to end your day after a long day of skiing. Cover singer plays fun music for après-​ski and then later in the evening switches to a DJ. The food was better than most bar food — try the Chili! Great drink specials and a large variety of cocktails to choose from. Definitely worth the stop off at the end of the day. Only negative is bad service — prove to your waiter or waitress that you will be ordering a lot and are there to stay for a while…

Wow, the reviews for this place are startling bad. Is it the best food I’ve ever had? Certainly not. It’s also not the worst experience I’ve had.
I went for drinks on the first day and again the next day for breakfast before the slopes opened up. Why did I choose this place twice with all the other amazing options in Breckenridge? Because it’s got the perfect base of the mountain location. You hardly have to take your skis off after enjoying the 10 minute ride down Beaver Run.
It’s not a bad option and will always be packed despite what some people think of the place.

regardless of the crummy reviews i found it very relaxing and quite a relief to come off the slopes to this place.
but they NEED to offer better stuff. it sucks that they have this prime location and really ballar opportunity to be really great. instead they have some pulled prok junk and BBQ crap.
but yes, as others im sure will agree, this place is great to make out with a ski bum. or two

Nachos no good,
Sliders are ok.
Drinks are good but not sure how you mess those up.
DJ was playing music and atmosphere was good.
Service was good.
I’d go here for Après drinks but nothing else.

You would think with all these crappy reviews, something would have been done to improve it right now. Make no mistake, this place exists because you have nowhere else to go. They will charge what they want, serve what they want because they have a captive audience. Nothing good to say about this place other than it’s warm.

Convenient but slow service and food was mediocre at best. Staff does not care about their customers.

This place is great to pick up a ski bum. Seriously. They don’t even mind if you make out at the bar.
I’m giving this place a 2^nd star because they have happy hour specials for locals. Since my friends and I had a place in Breck for the season we were considered locals.
They don’t have mimosa… However, whatever the restaurant was below them does and we were directed there which worked out fine.
The food is meh at best and way over priced. The service is sad due to the mass numbers of people coming through off the lifts. They have no seating assistance so you just wait around scoping out tables. I find this odd in a restaurant with these prices and table service.
If you are near this place and looking for an alternative, go to The Quandary. It’s just a few minutes walk and has 2 for 1 apps at happy hour.

There are really only 2 reasons to go to Coppertop Bar:
1. It’s convenient — literally right at the bottom of 2 lifts.
2. The Swing Crew — a really fun band that plays during happy hour.
We went to Coppertop twice — once for a quick lunch while skiing and once after we finished skiing for the day. Lunch was fine. The outdoor grill was open so our group had chili dogs, burgers and pulled pork sandwiches all at steep prices (around $ 9). But they did have decent beer selection at lunch so that eased some of the pain.
For happy hour, Coppertop welcomed a great band called the Swing Crew, a kind of alternative cover band with guitar, stand up base, fiddle and washboard (we found out about the washboard when our friend got to sit in with the band and play it!) and saw (yes, saw). They play everything from classic rock to country to punk thrown in with lots of jokes and audience participation (all the ladies from the audience got on stage and sang backup on Mustang Sally and there was a cowbell throwdown between a friend of ours and another audience member). The band was a hoot! Great time!
Too bad the service was sub-​par, the food was pathetic and the prices were ridiculous.
My advice — enjoy the great band and stick to the menu specials (including $ 4 Sailor Jerry drinks) and make a plan for something decent after you leave.

Um wow where should I begin with this review?
I suppose I will begin at the bar. We ordered drinks at the bar because there were no open tables. When a table opened up we asked the bartender if we could order from the table and have a consolidated tab (you know one check for the bar and the table… together… not separate checks). Bartender tells us yes and so we take our seats.
Things were going well for awhile until my friend Mike’s food arrived. His burger was steaming hot and his French fries were limp, greasy, and cold. Mike flags down our pathetic excuse for a waitress and asks that the fries be sent back for something warm or that they be removed from the table and the check. She takes the fries and says she will bring him out some fresh ones in a few minutes. Fifteen minutes later we are trying to get our tab/​check and Mike still does not have his fries. We finally flag down our waitress again and she is oblivious to the status of the fries. Mike tells her to forget it and just take them off the tab. We see her walk toward the kitchen and less than 2 minutes later Mike’s fries materialize even though he has told her that he wants them removed from his check.
We again flag her down, after waiting for 45 minutes, and tell her we will pay for the check at the bar. She then pulls the check out of her apron magically. Instantly we see she is trying to double charge for the drinks we had at the bar. Basically she takes the bar tab, moves it to her table, and then claims we had the exact same drinks after we moved to her table (I had one beer in reality but according to her bill I had two). We ask for the manager and it takes her another 15 minutes to «find him». It takes a managers intervention and our table almost walking out to get the waitress to feigned that she gives a sh*t.
Just because you are at the base of a ski resort (Peak 9 at Breckenridge) does not mean that people do not realize that customer service is terrible nor does it mean that people are going to be willing to tolerate it.

After a long day on the slopes you’re starving and thirsty. This is one of the few options you have. It’s basically fast food with a HUGE inflated ski resort price tag. I had the burger, some chips, and a drink for 15 bucks!
I had some of my friend’s cheese fries, not good either.
It is what it is, ski resort fast food. Don’t expect the world. They don’t mind you bringing in snacks so I ended up just bringing in powerbars to keep my hunger down.
