Before & After

Great shop with lots of seating! The staff was nice. We got some bagels as well. They're nice as you can build your own. We went with one plain with jam (house made) and another plain with avocado and egg! Delicious. Cute ambiance to hang out at with cute swings.

I stopped in twice during my weekend in Leadville. Once in the evening for a cocktail and once early in the morning to grab a coffee as I headed out on my adventures. Definitely two different scenes. The evening vibe was a loud, very crowded cocktail bar. However, there was an event going on, as well as a downtown Christmas parade happening outside so my impression may not be an accurate representation of a typical evening at Before & After. After a long drive to Leadville,I opted for their espresso martini. It was okay. But, they let me drink it on the patio so I could watch the parade. Bonus points for that! When I stopped by in the morning it was much more quiet. For coffee, I could not decide between the oatmeal cookie latte and the baklava latte. I ultimately chose the latter with the help of the barista. Great choice! Very tasty!The interior is quite cozy with lots of seating options. Seems like a good place to hang out whether it's for a coffee during the day or a cozy cocktail at night.

Our group of 4 came in for drinks before our dinner across the street. I ended up with the Sage Bee's Knees, and my husband got the non-alcoholic blueberry lavender mule and added gin. Both were very tasty and affordable! We had been to this cafe in the past to get coffee (the "before") and think it's so fun that they change it into a cocktail bar by night (the "after"). The vibes were great - lots of people in for drinks and just hanging out. We snagged a great table with a hanging swing which was super fun. For the drink itself - I haven't had many drinks with sage but it wasn't overpowering and rather delicious! Would love to try some of the bar food in the future.

I loved my visit here. It's such a cozy spot to hang out on a cold day. It was around 0 degrees that day. We had some beers - my bf had a cider and I had a red ale. For $8, you can get a beer and a shot of well liquor. We asked to do our tequila shot on a shot ski! It was a nice time.

We stopped into Before and After, having been to a few places earlier in the night. We stayed until closing time, if that tells ya anything, lol. Such a cute place, amazing cocktails and the bartender was phenomenal. Let's get into it!Pretty sure we tried to talk the bartender to coming to Denver - he was fantastic. These are craft cocktails and he often shared his vision with each drink we ordered, why he choose this or that ingredient and how he highlighted one flavor over another. It was so educational and fun to hear his thoughts and then taste the creation!And man, this place! It is so stinkin cute. I'm a fan of small touches and Before After has them in spades - in literally every corner. The swings immediately caught my eye as did the cozy corner in the front window with all the sticky notes on the walls. Got kiddos and stopping by on the "before side of the day," bring them in - there are games galore. Or maybe you're stopping by on the After side for a cocktail, no worries here either. The creativity with the seating areas blew me away. I literally wanted to sit in each space and experience it all, lol. There weren't many pics, so I added a few or so. Take a look and you'll see all the cuteness I'm talking about!Ok, back to the craft cocktails, the creativity and the staff. 8 out of 5 stars. Definitely stop in, if you're anywhere near Leadville. You absolutely won't be disappointed. Don't take just my review for it; there are so many here who are also singing their praises. There's always a reason for that!

I loved this cute place for date night and girls night! The drinks are super good and the flatbread pizzas are super yummy! I had a hibiscus margarita and it's amazing every time we go!

We visited late on a weekday morning. It was busy but there were several places to sit including comfy chairs and porch swings. The coffees and cinnamon roll we ordered were all great and service was friendly. This place is a comfortable hangout and a great place for a coffee. Their build-your-own sandwich menu looked great but we didn't try it yet.

I had never visited Leadville before, and I'm so glad I made a stop and found this gem! Excellent coffee, great ambiance, and super friendly service. I also love the swing seats and the evening cocktail bar! 10/10 would stop by again when I'm in the area.

Good coffee, has a wine selection (didn't try) and chill vibe. The swings are my favorite along with my boy's.

Very interesting and different place! We stopped a couple times for drinks and a snack and staff was extremely friendly. We stepped out of our normal food choices and ordered their Pad Thai. It was very good. If your in the area, stop in give it a try.
