5 Best Cocktail Bars in Estes Park

“Wow! Ember is amazing. This was our 1st time visiting the new Ember since we used to come when it was the Dunraven. The ambiance is so nice. Very upgraded! Our server was Robert, an Estes Park local who was superb! Excellent service and we were pleasantly surprised the food was better! We got the Steak & Frites and Chicken fried chicken. Highly recommend.“

“The Wheel Bar is awesome! Bartenders are super cool. WE LOVE JESSIE, best baldtender ever (makes a FANTASTIC sangria, make sure to ask him for one) Hands down the best bar in Estes!“

“Our experience at the Elkins Tasting Room with Marina was hands down my favorite part of our trip to Estes. The store was beautiful, with a large variety of different sauces and preserves made from their own whisky. Everything we tried, from their Honey Mustard Sauce and Peach Bourbon jam to their Sweet Tea and Lemonade Vodkas (we also tried the apple, fire, and honey whiskys! 12/10 recommend) were amazing! I have ever never considered myself a whisky person, and honestly I'm not much of a vodka girl most days, but I fell in LOVE with Elkins whisky and their vodka instantly and I'm headed home with nearly a case of product.
Marina was so sweet and so knowledgeable about the products and where the ingredients are sourced from (all in Colorado!) and made it such a warm and welcoming environment!
If you're in Estes and you're not stopping by, you're messing up!“

“We planned our wedding reception at the barrel and everything was perfect! The owner was very helpful as we planned our special day, worked with us to set up decor and the staff was incredible. Plus… delicious drinks. Thanks for everything!“
