Even the most avid historians can't decipher just when "The Brown" was built, although its place in the history of Breckenridge is quite significant. Built in the 1800's as a private dwelling, it was operated as a school by Union Captian George L. Ryan and his wife during the 1880's, and later as a hotel by Tom and Maude Brown. The mining slump during the turn of the century decreased town numbers from 5,000 to 250, but the Brown never lacked guests...perhaps, as one story suggests, because it housed the only bathtub in Summit County.

The Historic Brown Hotel has been a "locals getaway" nestled in downtown Breckenridge since 1882. Today, The Historic Brown operates and offers a unique experience to everyone.
*Entertainment
One will never be bored during his/her visit at the The Brown Hotel. The Brown offers a wide variety of entertainment for people wanting a new bar experience. The Brown offers chess, checkers, and backgammon for the intellectually geared. In addition, professional-quality foosbal, ping-pong, pool, and air hockey tables are available, and even a couple of pinball machines. The Brown is also proud to boost one of three bars that have dart boards in Breckenridge. There just isn't a bar quite like it around!
*Triple Crown Tournament

First and Second place winners of each night will recieve bar tabs and earn entry into the Sunday Night Championship, where the 6 winners will compete in each event to find out who is the Ultimate Bar-Game Champion! *Great Music
With a jukebox that holds 100 of the best classic rock, country, hip-hop, punk-rock, and pop music albums, it is no wonder that The Historic Brown has the reputation for having the hands-down best jukebox in town. We even have several Latin-flavored albums for our Spanish-speaking guests. With 4 songs for $1 or 9 songs for $2, you are sure to hear some of your favorite tracks while enjoying your time at The Brown.
*The Ghost
Legend has it that during the late 1800's or early 1900's, a certain "Lady of the Night" by the name of Ms. Whitney set her sights on The Brown Hotel to further her business and gain a more lucrative clientelle. When the owner caught wind of her plans, he took matters into his own hands by murdering her. Some say Ms. Whitney still resides at The Brown, sometimes haunting the women's bathroom. The story still attracts ghost hunters around the country, and the Summit Daily just wrote this story on 10/31/2010: Inside The Haunted Brown Hotel & Restaurant.The Brown is a major attraction on the Breckenridge Heritage Society's Haunted Tour, where they will bring you to search for Ms. Whitney as well as explore other haunted locations in town.
*Private Parties
The Brown Hotel is open to groups big and small. We specialize in hosting athletic clubs, birthday parties, bachlor/bachlorette parties, entertainment tournaments, and special events. Our menu is open to those seeking fine or casual dining options. The bar staff can help your group choose the appropriate drink selection from our eclectic martini, beer, and wine menu. Whether your stay in Breckenridge is for business or pleasure, The Brown Hotel can accommodate your every request.

*Complimentary Food*
At the Brown, we never let our patrons go hungry. Thats why with the purchase of every drink, you are offered one of our signature Cajun-style food items, such as turkey tacos, red beans and rice with andouille sausage, and jumoblaya. The best part: the food is included with cost of your beverage!
*The Brown's Stuffed Shrimp Story*
Prawns stuffed with a blend of smoked chipolte peppers in a adobo sauce with fresh minced garlic and fresh cilantro in a cream cheese base then wrapped with a thin slice of smoked bacon. It is then baked in butter and white wine and finished with fresh parmesan and pico de gallo.
The Brown's Stuffed Shrimp recipe was finalized in 1983 and introduced as the primer dish at the grand opening of The Brown Hotel and Restaurant in September 1985. The initial concept of the stuffed shrimp started as early as 1973 during trips to Manzinillo, Mexico.
