Breckenridge, CO
Gold Pan Saloon & Bar In Breckenridge
Immersed in Colorado mining history, the Gold Pan Saloon
and Restaurant in Breckenridge offers a glimpse of a "rough and ready" western
heritage, when at any moment the swinging saloon doors might creak open and admit
a gun clad cowboy. Built around 1879 as the Herman Strauss Saloon, the bar
side of this complex has spent most of its days as a smoke-filled, whiskey-scented
dining and amusement hall. The most well known of these establishments was the
Palace Restaurant which attracted customers with a large fish aquarium in the
front window, stocked with "speckled
beauties". Documented as the most continuous operating liquor license west
of the Mississippi, the building has also served as a dry goods store and as
a gas station. Over the years, the Gold Pan Bar has been one of the first saloons
visited by a local. Locally owned and operated, the Gold Pan provides visitors
with a rustic atmosphere to relax and enjoy a drink and delicious food.
