Après Handcrafted Libations

Excellent selection of beer and really unique and tasty cocktails! The perfect cozy spot for an afternoon drink with friends since there's bound to be something for everyone!

We landed at Apres during a slow time and had the chance to enjoy talking with Bartender Dave. My wife's smoked Old Fashioned (not the right name, but close) was flawless. He made an off-menu drink oout of muddled berries, coconut something, lime sherbet. I ordered on faith and was rewarded with one of the top five drinks I have ever had. I would have ordered another, but the room started to fill and that drink took time to create. So, I settled on a good tip and a t-shirt for the misses. If we are back in Breckenridge, we will make time for Apres absolutely!

Apres! Apres! Apres! You are no after thought to me. I 'd happily go to this bar for a cocktail before or after a meal. Heck, I 'd roll up for a mid-day cocktail snack! It 's a no frills bar with the highest quality cocktail ingredients. Exactly, what my husband and I enjoy. We tried two drinks here, the Death of a Gentleman #2 and the Not so Irish Coffee. Typically, we 'd probably have gone for another more craft cocktail than a Not so Irish Coffee but it was a briskier day than expected and this gal needed some warmth! The Not so Irish Coffee was made with local Breckenridge Coffee, bourbon and house-made bourbon cream. It was comforting, creamy and just what I was looking for in the moment. The Death of a Gentleman #2 is what I look for in every moment, though. It was made with rye whiskey, maple syrup, an absinthe spritz and Apres Handcrafted Bitters. Perfectly well-balanced and full of flavor, you could easily be seduced to sip a few of these downs in a matter of seconds! Can 't wait for another round.

Small place, but definitely worth stopping in. My small group had quite a few libations and all were well crafted. Additionally, great beer selection on tap as well.What makes or breaks places like this is service. To my knowledge there's no food, so the bartender is everything. At the time I went there was one bartender servicing everyone. She was extremely hardworking, but what I appreciated the most was she was very good at her craft.The drink options on the menu are very good; there are mainstays and then season options created by the bartenders. After a few off the menu, we took the time to discuss drinks with her and she crafted drinks based on your preferences; for example: type of liquor, spirit forward, back, balanced. More earthy or citrus, etc ... Cool ceiling as well

Great experience. Dave was friendly and helpful in guiding us to a great beer out of the vast variety of different beers available. Cheers!
