What a great tagline: BECAUSE EVERYWHERE ELSE JUST SUCKS! You already get a feel for what type of place this is and it's a cross between Dave & Busters LITE, Bennigan's bar, and a pizza place. Downstairs at Eric's is always packed, this popular Breck spot boasts over 120 beers, it's very own Bar Cam, an arcade for the kids, awesome burgers, and sports on television sets all over the place. Located at 111 South Main Street, it's easy to walk to from the main resorts and worth the wait.
During this peak season, being able to fit about 24 of us in one sitting is almost impossible. We have squeezed into the bar area (yes with kids) and carved out a home base while the kids played in the arcade (with at least 1-2 adults taking turns watching them) and the rest of us ordering the food and drinks. With such a large group, you are forced to eat standing up and in spurts, but it's fun. I want to make it clear that we drink responsibly and this bar is not a dark, gloomy, seedy kind of place showing kids some "bad" things. Kids are more than welcome here and we like that. Just check out the web site to catch a glimpse of the Bar Cam and the kid-friendly menu.
RANDOM THOUGHT: I am not sure of the connection and always forget to ask, but the name of this place is same as Yaz or Yazoo's first album. If you recall this was a duo in the early 80s starring Alison Moyet and forgot the guy's name. The album yielded hits like "Don't Go" and "Situation." It reminds me of my older brother and his friends and my friend's older sister. The first time I listened to it was at my friend's house as she blared it out of her bedroom. Check it out on iTunes if you haven't heard it before.
