The service was horrible unfortunately. I wanted to try it so bad but was not what I was expecting. The drinks were very strong almost too strong to enjoy.

The bartender was clearly very drunk and "lost" my credit card I had behind the bar for an open tab. After searching through the card box about 4 times she finally found it (thankfully), but definitely felt uncomfortable, unorganized, and careless. Will be watching my transactions extra closely...

Alicia was a phenomenal bartender!She was extremely personable, friendly and creative. We came in to get a margarita but after talking we decided to do the bartenders improv and she nailed it time after time! She took all of our “likes” in a drink and perfected them.This bar is an absolute must to stop by while in Breck. We will definitely be back.

Lovely cocktails here. Love the summer menu

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!

Truly a wonderful discovery in Breck! We were beered out after visiting a few local breweries and were seeking a bar for a couple of cocktails. We almost walked by Apres as it appeared to be closed but I'm glad we slammed on the foot breaks and entered this quaint cozy bar.We sat at the bar and I immediately noticed their extensive whiskey and bourbon selection. David was our mixologist (not a bartender by any means) and after telling what him what I normally drink he produced a delizioso old fashioned. Plus one ordered a sweet coffee-flavored drink and she was impressed as well.The crowd on this day was pretty sparse so we had some quality time with David and the bar manager. Both were very friendly and David was beyond knowledgable. Bonus points as I discovered that the bar manager is, like me, a former Masshole. I'm sure Apres is jammed during the ski season but on this day we got to enjoy it almost by ourselves.They also have a pretty good selection of beers and board games if you are bored.Whilst strolling down Main St do not pass by this wonderful establishment.

I love this place! I tried every cocktail when during my stay in Breckinridge. Every cocktail was unique and delicious!The bar has a few tables and it gets super busy on the weekends.

Fantastic cocktail place - the mezcal finish on the Dr. King Schultz and the Mountain Mule (w/Breckenridge bourbon) were highlights

terrible service - in a city with many bars, find one better

This is a really fun chill spot to grab a drink with friends. There are board games available and the music volume is low enough to have a conversation. They have a huge selection of really good beers on draft. The bartenders are super cool and make some really fun and unique drinks.

Ask the bartender about their favorite Manhattan; they know their craft and you won’t be disappointed!

Bartender was so fun! Made the experience enjoyable. We sat at the bar and he helped us make our choices and was entertaining. Highly recommend this place!
