If the establishment is reading this, please change the location of your water station. As a #thicc man, having it in the tiny hallway next to the bathroom was a bad experience for all involved. I will adjust to 5 stars when that is fixed

Awesome spot. Real laid back. Was the first time really trying ciders. And different sltzers but loved the atmosphere. The food was great as well. Ide go back and would recommend to anyone around the area to stop in and check it out.

Amazing staff and service complimented by delicious drinks! The atmosphere is relaxing and changes depending on the season to spice things up! Great diversity of people and friendly for all age groups! Furthermore, I believe it is the best spot in Portland to enjoy some time off! On the staff topic, I have never been treated more like family at any establishment!

The staff is really nice and friendly and the music and drinks are always great! I love Apres, and so should you!

Great drinks but rude staff, they mostly act stuck up. More professional options nearby.

What a special place! My husband and I were here attending a birthday celebration for a friend. They have a wonderful back room for private events. They have many tables and seating areas or even standing areas to drink and spend time with friends. They also have a wonderful space outside. They had a heater and a fire pit going last night it was gorgeous! If you are looking for quiet, do not go here in peak hours it was pretty loud and I did a lot of asking someone to repeat themselves. Now they have a limited snack menu, Gouda plate, olives etc. Their beverages, delightful. I am one who normally drinks cider or hard liquor. I have never been a fan or beer or seltzers, I am not a "white claw" person. Apres knows how to make Seltzer!!! Their Seven majors (their version of an Arnold Palmer) so light, so refreshing. Their Hi Seas slushy, yum! My husband had their BocadillaVeleno, he was impressed, it is Guava, Cilantro and lime, the cilantro really shows at the finish. He tried their Avondale, he enjoyed it is Raspberry and Kiwi. Tote Road he also tried but out of the three was not his favorite he thinks it may have been the Elderberry he was not a fan of. You approach the bar and order then head out and find a place to hang out. Jamaica was tending bar and an absolute delight! Was excited to hear it was out first visit in and was eager to explain their Seltzers! They have a beautifully displayed merch wall which of course I had grab a sweatshirt, and they have a cooler with 4-packs to go, of course I left with a couple of Seven majors 4 packs. It was too good to leave behind! On the way out I saw they have board games, now I truly look forward to going back with a group of friends, who does not enjoy good company and game of Sorry and some of the best Seltzer I have ever tasted!

I stopped in to try a few seltzer’s and I was not disappointed! Just the energy there was refreshing, very bright and spacious. They have a selection of table games as well as great music that played the entirety of our time there. I will definitely be stopping in again! If you like frozen drinks, seltzer or ciders this is a great stop. & they are dog friendly!!
Best of Portland Brewery and Spirits Bus Tour - AprèsI took the Best of Portland Brewery and Spirits Bus Tour, and our first stop was Après.Après is French for meaning “after”. I assume, for this purpose, it means after work, or at least that it's 5:00 somewhere.It was the first brewery that I ever visited that specialized in hard seltzer and cider. Although I'm not a fan of hard seltzer, however, I was impressed with their product. In addition, their location was unique as it looked like a previous small airplane hangar or a large mechanics garage.Their seltzer is made with fruit (bought locally if possible), and it is naturally low in calories.In addition, that have outside seating to enjoy the mild summer days of Maine while you enjoy your beverage.Be sure to stop to see Après’ impressive tasting room, try a hard seltzer or two, and take home a six pack.

Alcoholic seltzers? Beautiful interior? Lots of wood and plants? This is your spot!!I pretty much only come here because I love the inside so much. It's GORGEOUS. Like I want this to be my home gorgeous. The seltzers are fine but I don't really remember anything about them. Lots of events are hosted here and they have collaborated with food trucks in the past. Parking is available on the street but honestly, I no longer can come because it's become a hot spot since this year especially. There's even lines now which were completely unfathomable even a year ago!!

Love this place! Great ambiance, welcoming and fun staff, and the seltzer is sooooo good! (Isle and Tote Road for the win) I'm also a fan of the ciders and of course, the merch! :) Great social media posts, too

The gold standard for seltzer.If you’re even mildly interested in Seltzer, you owe it to yourself to stop by. The vibe here is really chill and eclectic. The colors are warm and the space is very inviting. Inside you will feel at home, with a great bar setup, tables and even recessed booths.The large standing table is a great touch and on a nice day, the outdoor area will light up the neighborhood.Y’all local to this place are lucky…and if you are passing through Portland, I highly recommend dropping by.They have a great menu of seltzers, cocktails, local beer and plenty of to-go options.The candles smell amazing — check them out for yourself.
