From the outside, if you didn't know better in the middle of winter, you would probably think you're in the wrong spot. Once inside, we were warmly greeted and invited to try as we went along. Lots of knowledge stood behind that bar and we all ended up with something we enjoyed. There are multiple comfy spots to settle in and plenty of options to work through if you want to stay for a bit. Shoot some pool. Play cards. Just chat. You'll want to hang out for a few, maybe indulge in a soft pretzel and grab another cider to go.

My friend and I stopped in to catch up over a cider and dinner. We both aren't beer fans due to how full they make us. So, cider was perfect. They have a huge selection of flavors from super dry to sweet and unique ones such as ginger, lavender, and honey. I got the German bratwurst for my meal. The bun is soft and delicious but it was way too much bun for the bratwurst. It was just stuck in the bun cooked whole, if they would have cut it in half and layer it in, it would have been easier to eat and you would have gotten bratwurst with every bite. The flavor was amazing, the caramelized onions were perfection! The staff is a bit odd. Both the bartender and the food service people were extremely corky. Also, I ordered a cider at the bar and they must have a new system and an old guys at the food station who couldn't figure out how to add my food but keep my tab open, so I just closed out and paid for it all.

Of their ciders we had, my favorite was the hibiscus cider and the peach cider, but they also have a good selection beers if ciders aren't your thing. For food we got their Ruben and their Flat-iron Steak. The Ruben was awesome, the sauce was a bit on the sweeter side, but it tasted good while drinking the ciders. But the highlight for me was their flat-iron steak, its a simple cut but it was one of the best steaks I've had in recent memory. I'm not kidding when I say it was on par if not better than a a lot of the steakhouses I've been to, it was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and comes with a solid chimichurri sauce. TLDR: great local tavern with great food and good selection of drinks.

We stopped at Clear Creek Cidery & Eatery because we liked their outdoor seating. The weather was perfect for enjoying a nice, shaded outdoor lunch. Our group of six all ordered water for drinks. The server brought us filled glasses and then told us if we wanted any refills, we could get them ourselves from the big cooler jug outside. Um...okay. The rest of the service was pretty much the same -- apathetic. We ordered a flight of beer for the four adults at the table. It was about $30 and came with about 15 small glasses of cider, one of each flavor they served. We shared it and got to sample everything that way. I ordered the Cider Burger (medium rare) with fries as my side. It came out medium well, which instantly ruins and dries out any good burger experience. The fries were tepid as well. I don't think we even saw our server again until the end, and even then we had to wait for awhile for the check. So, overall, It was just an okay experience. If I'm in the Idaho Springs area again, I wouldn't return to Clear Creek Cidery & Eatery. I'd definitely explore other options.

I love this place. This is a hard location for a drinking establishment. When Mu Brewing first…read moreopened your years ago, I was there on opening day. They had one good beer, one decent beer, one pass beer, and one terrible beer that had metallic overtones. After that, they only made one or two more beers that I really enjoyed, and parking was difficult. Also, the environment of the street tends to creep in at times. Later on, when this was Lady Justice Brewing, I went here more often. I thought they did some nice stuff, and I was really happy when they were able to move into a new location. I feel like the place has really hit it stride now that it is Vanishing West Ciders. They have some really great cider. And even make some neat cocktails. I definitely encourage people to visit, especially if they are going to a show nearby at the Vintage Theatre or the Aurora Fox Theatre. I think the theater District of this neighborhood is lucky to have such an establishment.

The ciders are in a good variety with each one being just as good as the next one while I can't remember each of them I had as I was just soo tired by this point in the adventure I can say I did enjoy each one of them as they all had awesome flavors and were just refreshing! The fried mushrooms we ordered were outstanding they had a Thai chili sauce on them which was super yummy mixed with a perfectly fried shroom that was full of flavor making for some of the best fried mushrooms I've ever had! My burger was just standard while the meat was flavorful the green chili fell short leaving me wishing it had more chili on it but don't get me wrong it was still yummy and a good burger that you really can't go wrong with! Overall chill place to grab some cider who knows if I'll ever get back here again but if so I'll be looking forward to it!

So often it seems like ciders automatically have that original apple cider taste, but Stem goes out of the box! The customizable flights ($12) made it super easy to try the ciders.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was too! My partner and I tried the soft pretzels ($11.95) and the green chile and pepper jack burger ($17.95). Both were great! Pretzels were fresh, tender, and piping hot! Comes with 3 and they paired well with the cider cheese. The burger was incredible tasty caramelized onions, green chile, beef, and cheese- we requested aioli on the side but great flavors and served with perfect crispy fries!

If average was a restaurant, this place would be the poster child. I only give it 3 stars because of the service, the food was a solid 1-2 stars. Bland, as average as it gets.

The food was just awful to average. Drinks were good though, because they came out of a can. So disappointing, we really were excited to try it. Just keep driving by it, up or down the mountain there is way better offerings in the area. Ambiance was awesome, right in the stream with humming birds flitting about.
