Ruben, the owner of Jakes Dive Bar is a con man, who will assault his patrons and mark up their tabs. He regulary gets drunk and out of control. I'm pretty sure its only Ruben over charging but it wouldn't surprise me to hear there are others involved. Many of the locals have been over charged but are too drunk to notice until the next day. It happend to me and several other regulars I know. You would think he wouldn't take advantage of a women, WRONG! He buys shots for his friends and himself marking on someone else tab or is so drunk he doesnt know he did it. If Ruben is working RUN AWAY! You can't miss him, he is the short Mexican behind the downstairs bar. I watched him call a woman a whore because her husband served in the Marines. Being a woman myself, I couldn't believe what he said to her. The other woman being classy, walked out immediately. That was the same night my 3 drinks turned into a $135 tab. I didn't pay it and will never go back. Until someone stands up to Jakes Dive Bar, this will continue to happen. If this happend to you, PLEASE report it to Breckenridge Police. Who knows how long Jakes Dive Bar has been stealing from their HONEST customers...BEWARE OF JAKES DIVE BAR!!
