Such a great time enjoying the weather today at Acerage. The food was great (no photos but kids Mac and cheese and chicken bites plates were awesome, pimento cheese and the jalapeño Caesar salad were excellent. Had never been so the setting, staff and building/amenities were all a great surprise. I'll be adding this to the places to bring out of town visitors for a taste of Colorado. read more

Acreage - Sweet view from "the juice box" - a secondary shack to grab drinks. Great service, too! - Cideries Near Me - Lafayette, Colorado

Acreage by Stem Ciders ended up being one of the places that helped us fall in love with Denver. My girlfriend and I first visited while we were in town trying to decide if we wanted to move here. A friend recommended Acreage, so after a long day in Boulder, hiking and walking around town, we stopped by on a Saturday evening. And honestly, it lived up to the hype and then some. The setting is what really makes this place special. It was busy with what felt like a true local crowd--families, kids, groups of friends--all hanging out. There's a huge outdoor area with picnic table-style seating, plus some indoor space, but the real star is the view. The mountain backdrop is unreal, and the sunset we caught that night was one of those "okay, we could live here" moments. They do take reservations, and I'd highly recommend making one if you're going on a weekend. We loved it so much that we've been back twice since, once while apartment hunting and again after we moved, when we brought family to show them one of the spots that sold us on Denver. For a cider-focused spot, the food seriously overdelivered. The soft pretzels are next level--three per order and perfect for sharing. Everyone gets their own and is happy. The roasted baby carrots were just okay and probably something I'd skip next time. The Jalapeño Caesar with added chicken is really solid, and the winter salad (also with chicken) was a huge portion and great if you want something a bit lighter/greener. The Lafayette cheesesteak sandwich, though, has been the standout for me--top tier. I'm a sucker for a good sandwich and this one absolutely delivered. There are still a few things on the menu I'm looking forward to trying next time. And of course, the cider. I'm not a big beer guy and neither is my girlfriend, so this place is perfect if you're looking for an alternative. I'd definitely recommend doing a flight. They've got a wide range--from fruitier options like blueberry and apricot (crowd favorites) to drier ciders, which I tend to prefer. They also rotate some unique options--recently we tried a salted cucumber cider that was great and quite refreshing. My personal favorite is the Banjo series, which is aged in bourbon barrels. It has a subtle bourbon flavor that makes it super unique and really enjoyable. All in all, Acreage is more than just a cider spot--it's an experience. Between the views, the atmosphere, and the surprisingly great food and drinks, it's become one of our go-to places! read more

Made a born day reservation here for 4 and wised it weren't rainy and cold. The views here, despite the dark clouds, were lovely. So much outdoor space that we will definitely make the drive back on a cool, sunny day. Acreage is Stem's attached restaurant at their cider location. What a treat. We sat at a massive table that could easily seat a party of 10. Maybe they use these as community tables when they're busy. Either way, it was quite spacious! We ordered ciders and the parents ordered one of their flights to taste some of their traditional ciders. I immediately set down the Blueberry Lime. In love. With ciders, is there really ever a bad one? I think not, lol. The food was amazing as well. It looked scrumptious - presentation was fabulous. Cooked to order but we didn't wait too long. We tried their cactus appetizer which reminded me of grilled onions - tasty. Burgers were on the menu for us. And I loved their salad. So very fresh. Stem uses local sources for their fresh ingredients and it really makes all the difference. My partner had the chicken fried cheeseburger and would have liked more flavor. The breading became soft fast and didn't stand a chance with the gravy, making it a soggy mess. My Fuego, on the other hand, was great (GF CRISPY CHICKEN, FUEGO PICKLES, JALAPENO SLAW, HABANERO JACK, SPICY AIOLI). It was huge but packed well. Our servers were great and checked on us often. Definitely bookmarking Stem to return. They've got so many ciders and craft beers on tap, as well as cocktails to offer. And that view! read more

The view here is top notch. Tons of outdoor seating, a great place to come and grab a drink and soak in the scenery. We grabbed a light bite at the bar, the turkey pesto meatballs were so good. I could have ate 5 orders of them (they ate small). Fried green tomatoes were so yummy! I'm not a huge cider fan so I went with the spicy marg and it did not disappoint on the heat. This is def the place to be on a nice warm day! read more

Wow!! We had a wonderful experience at Acreage!!! First, the view is absolutely amazing. Acreage sits on the top of hill that allows you to see the front range. Acreage has a large food menu that offers enough for the whole party. The food was absolutely amazing in look and taste! The acreage burger was my favorite with fries. I'd suggest ordering well done if you don't like any pink in the burger. We also had several ciders which were very good. Acreage offers beer from the Denver Beer company. Our service was fine. It seemed to be understaffed but the chef jumped right in to help. read more

I ordered the bison burger, macaroni and cheese, and the duck pot pie. The bison burger was amazing; it was juicy and well-seasoned. The macaroni cheese was delicious as well. The duck pot pie was surprisingly good and had lots of flavor. For my beverage, I enjoyed a glass of the "princess yum yum". The ambience was pretty chill, and the server was very responsive. read more

This has been on my list for a long time, and I finally made it to Acreage -- and wow, it was worth the wait. I've always loved Stem Ciders, but getting to drink them alongside great food and those incredible sunset views made it a perfect experience. We started with the new Harvest Peach cider, which tasted like peach and fall in a glass -- crisp, lush, and perfectly balanced. The Banjo (aged in Stranahan's whiskey barrels) was another standout, and the Chai-der might be one of the best fall-inspired drinks I've ever had, with notes of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and black tea. The Chile Guava cider, though, officially became my favorite cider of all time. For food, we ordered the pimento cheese (we're from Texas, so it's a must), the pretzels with Howdy beer cheese, and the Acreage Burger -- all fantastic. The burger was a nice reminder of how good a classic, non-smashed burger can be. Between the drinks, the food, and the views, this was a 10/10 experience. I'll definitely be back. read more

Acreage - Cideries Near Me - Lafayette, Colorado

Great spot to grab drinks with beautiful mountain views! The first time I came here I was surprised with how open and family friendly it was. There were plenty of ways to keep kids entertained while adults were grabbing drinks and enjoying the mountains. Beautiful views of the Flatirons. I had the bratwurst as a snack, and thought it was pretty good. When you've got good weather, views, and drinks are flowing, it's tough to find something to complain about. The cider was good, I tried the house and the peach. I'm not a huge cider guy and do not have a ton of commentary as a result, but it was good and there seemed to be enough variety that anyone could find something they liked. Will definitely return and recommend. read more

I went to Acreage with my son's family last year. It was a beautiful day and we got there before sunset. The view of the mountains and OMG the full glorious sunset was beyond words. The food was good and the brews. They also had outside the restaurant a beer stand so you can enjoy the scenery sitting on Adirondack chairs. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch break at Acreage, taking full advantage of the beautiful weather by opting for a seat on the spacious outdoor patio. The sunshine and fresh air made for the perfect setting, and although it was a weekday, the place had a pleasant buzz--professionals chatting over work lunches and meetings, families with children and dogs soaking up the sunshine, and plenty of others clearly taking a moment to unwind. The wind certainly made its presence known, prompting us to keep a firm grip on our cups and menus, but even that couldn't detract from the breathtaking views of the Flatirons and Front Range stretching out before us. That panoramic scenery alone is worth the visit. Our server greeted us warmly and quickly made us feel at home, sharing the day's specials, including a Passionfruit Mimosa Cider that immediately piqued our interest. When we asked if we could sample it before committing, she smiled and said "of course," returning in no time with a tasting pour for each of us. One sip was all it took--crisp, slightly tart, and just the right amount of sweet. It instantly became a new favorite. The harder decision was narrowing down our food order from their enticing menu. After some delicious deliberation, we settled on the Acreage frites with cider aioli, the Thai shrimp, and the Shoyu pork belly. Not long after, our waitress reappeared with our plates--just in time, as our appetites had grown with anticipation. Every dish was flavorful and well-prepared, but the standout by far was the Shoyu pork belly. Perfectly glazed and tender, it was complemented beautifully by the tangy cabbage slaw, fragrant cilantro-lime rice, and a creamy ginger aioli that brought it all together. We finished the meal with a little sweet and decided on the Fresh Cider Doughnuts served with homemade strawberry jam, with a little dusting of powdered sugar, this was the perfect ending to an amazing meal! This wasn't my first visit to Acreage, and it certainly won't be the last. The relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, with its open-air seating, playful outdoor games, and even a playground for families, makes it a place you'll want to linger. Whether you're here for a laid-back lunch, a scenic cider tasting, or a casual afternoon with friends, Acreage never disappoints. read more

Great spot to grab beer, tasty food, and a great view of the flatirons. It was my first time here and was very impressed with the quick, friendly service. Our waitress was very friendly and checked on us often. Loved the spacious outdoor setting- lots of room for kiddos to get energy out and the adults to sit and enjoy themselves. Loved that they have a playground area as well- very family friendly! Very reasonable menu prices and their cider choices are excellent. Beer flight is only $12 and well worth it for 10oz of beer. Can't wait to come back! read more

I've been visiting Acreage for the past 5 years I've lived in CO and I throughly enjoy it every time I'm here. They have a great selection of ciders and the food here is good. I remember them not having any wooden benches but on my recent visit this past weekend, there's benches for people to sit. Get some ciders, order some food and watch the sunset. Super dog friendly read more

A little confusing because it's Acreage by Stem Ciders, so when you check in you can check into both, for Yelp that is. The food here is good. I got the Lafayette Cheese Steak, and it was pretty tasty. The horseradish aioli was so good, and a perfect touch for the sandwich. However, the bread was soggy due to the moisture of the toppings. This could possibly be remedied by toasting the bread more, and adding the aioli as a spread on the bread. Next time I will also ask if they could use provolone instead of swiss. Still super tasty. Girlfriend got a burger and let me have a bite, it too was good. The salads that we got for our sides, were great, and the drinks provided by Stem Ciders are great too. I opted for the Hard Mango Lemonade and it was perfect accompaniment for the food. Service is great and the atmosphere is great too. read more

Party of four. Ordered drinks, appetizers and meals for lunch. Service seemed fine until we received our meals. Two of us ordered their stew for St Patrick's Day. I immediately saw a hair in mine. When I asked if they could get me a new bowl, it didn't seem like it would be a problem. I waited and waited. The other three in our party ate their food. Someone came out and said the soups would be covered. I was surprised they offered to pay for my daughter's soup. I finally received my soup. I guess they had to make a new batch. It then made sense why both soups would be covered since a hair was in the other batch. Our waitress, Riley, seemed to go MIA. Other waitstaff was helping our table. She finally came out with our bill. We paid, gave a nice tip, and asked for a copy of the receipt. We noticed we were charged for three soups and only received two free. Their explanation was that I was given two bowls and they waived those charges. Why would I be charged for two bowls? So strange. Riley spoke to the manager and she told us that the manager never said that, but she waived the cost for my daughter's soup too. She made sure she knew we were wrong. My husband spoke to the manager on our way out and she was just as pissy. He tried to explain what happened and she said, "We took care of it, didn't we? Good bye ". Whenever he would try to say anything else, she would just say, "Thank you. Good bye." The manager and staff were flat out rude. Just apologize and say "we hope we made it right for you. Please come back." Great customer service is really not that hard!! If you look close enough, you can see the hair in this picture (middle right of bowl). read more

Acreage - Stew - Cideries Near Me - Lafayette, Colorado

We went to acreage because the concept is so cool. It's a MASSIVE property with ciders and eatery. There's ample indoors and outdoor seating. It's family friendly with a whole playground. It's honestly insane how well thought out the layout and inclusiveness is for this place. We had some trouble getting a place to sit at as the indoor outdoor isn't clear on food ordering rules. We had to wait outside for a table inside.... To order food. You also cannot get glass if outside, so you can't order a flight unless inside. This was a bit off putting. Once we got past that small hiccup. It was smooth sailing. The ciders weren't as good as the ones from the stem in rino, weird, but the food was good. The food was average in offering and flavor but ample portion for sharing. Service the entire time was lacking. They were weird about us being there the whole entire time. We felt very unwelcome, even though there were four of us. Overall, it's a come here after Sunday service kind of vibe and the employees need to be trained in better service. Otherwise, it's a great spot for a large party! read more

We had a reservation at 1:15pm, we got there early and they said they'd text us when our table was ready. At 1:12pm I went in to check in again, incase my husband forgot to say our name or something (and because there were 4 empty tables). I also asked if we could get a shaded table since all the tables that were open were in the shade. And I was told no because there was a big party coming in and taking those tables... I was a bit confused because there were multiple tables empty next to each other but whatever, and walked back outside to wait. It said dog friendly but there was ONE other dog when we first got there who lunged at our dog as we went to the only shade they had apart from the patio area. I was actually nervous to bring our dog bc it said "only well behaved dogs allowed" and she's behaved but she's not a super star and ALL the dogs that were there as we were having our meals were not at all well behaved. We got seated 10 minutes late ... at.... The table that's been open since we got there that was shaded... so that was very weird. And then next to us (so the other big party table) they sat a two top. So did the host just completely lie? Just a super weird experience. Our servers in the other hand - amazing. They brought us a free flight and we were chatting with both the servers that covered our section (one was training) - they were so cool and super chill! Gave great recommendations on food as well. The pork belly shareable was AMAZING, we got two. The whipped feta and the Brussels were also incredible. I started with the cider flight. If the salted cucumber cider is still available, I would 1000% recommend that. The Lavender was also a favorite. Their hard peach tea comes with ice if it's a very hot day. This is a very kid friendly spot, there was so many kids out and about and lawn games. Some kids brought soccer balls etc. but be mindful there is not a lot of shade so either get there early to get a shaded spot on the lawn or accept that you may not get shade. I would also highly recommend making a reservation because the wait time without one was over an hour on a Saturday at about lunch time. All in all - it was a great spot, service and food made up for the odd encounter with the hostess and aggressive dog interaction at the start. The other hostess that seated us and checked on us a few times, getting us more water, was great, but the first one.. it was just a weird encounter overall. read more

This was such a perfect place to enjoy an evening with a cold drink and some food after a long day of meetings on a recent business trip to Denver. We did not have reservations, so we put our name on the list and grabbed a drink at the bar before heading outside to enjoy the sunset in the Adirondack chairs while enjoying music and happy people around us. There were lots of tables outside, but after quite a long wait, we took what came open inside - it seemed clear that most of the people who had outside tables did not leave until after sunset was over even if they were done eating well before that, so something to keep in mind in the summer. Our server, Mar, was amazing and the best part of the evening. She took really good care of us and spent time as we asked questions and made our choices from the menu. I ended up totally loving the Power Bowl that she recommended to me. We also snagged some super cute merchandise before we left from the sale table. A great night and I hope to come back! read more

The view here is incredible. You must go. It is so good that even if the service, food, and drinks were awful, it would still warrant five stars. Luckily for me, they were also great and this rates as one of my new favorite restaurants. But is it a restaurant? I don't really know. Yes, it serves food and you purchase it. However, this feels like more of a friend's backyard party. A friend with copious amounts of cash who can buy a multi-million dollar view. I don't actually have any friends like that but I am open if you are one of those people. I am pretty cool and can talk to anyone about pretty much anything. That doesn't have anything to do with this review so back to what matters. The view here. My word. Hell yeah. Freakin awesome. It is an incredible view of the Rockies that drew me in. I couldn't pay attention to anything else. Heck, the weather kicked up and people's food and drinks were blowing away. Did I care? Nope. The view had me in a trance. No pictures can do it justice. The weather did prevent me from going sit in the Adirondack chairs they had which is a bummer. The view from the picnic table was pretty darn great though. The food was solid. Picture upscale bar food. My Reuben was very good and the poutine was also great. The cider was unique but I found a few that I enjoyed. I would have preferred a bourbon or an IPA but hey, the view mad me forget all that. Despite the crazy weather, the service was also great. Will I be back? I sure hope so. This is one of the best views I have ever had from a restaurant. read more

We visited Acreage on July 4th for our 11th anniversary. We've been visiting the area for the last month and Acreage was highly suggested. A made a mistake by not making a reservation but our wait was only 30 minutes or so. Not bad for a holiday. Parking was easy enough with parking available on the road and in their parking lot. I love their setup outside with tons of space. The playground is a nice addition since we had our kid with us. There is also yard games and tons of outdoor seating. We did order some hard mango lemonades that were tasty. But it wasn't a drinking date for us. The food was pretty good. My wife ordered a burger and I ordered a bratwurst. Both were good albeit slightly overpriced. Actually I'd say most items are slightly overpriced. Service was the only negative. Staff was friendly but we often felt like an after thought. With that said, I'd come back to try on a less busy day. read more

While the views at this venue are undeniably great, the service experience for our group of 20+ was incredibly frustrating. We were informed upon arrival that full meals aren't served outdoors for large groups--only shareables--a policy that wasn't mentioned on their website. Communication was inconsistent throughout the whole time. The bartender didn't advise us to check in at the front desk, and we were initially allowed to sit at a table after ordering. However, five minutes later, a server with pink/purple hair approached us quite rudely, asking if we had a reservation and implying the table was unavailable. Interestingly, when we checked back later, the table remained empty. When I politely asked for clarification on the service we were receiving, the server doubled down on the 'no regular food for large groups' rule without any flexibility or hospitality. Aside from a helpful bartender, the staff's attitude was unwelcoming. It's a shame that such a beautiful location is overshadowed by poor management of large parties. read more

I've come to Acreage quite a few times over the years and they have come a long way, but it is a complete experience now!

The whipped feta appetizer is out of this world, and always enjoy with a flight of ciders read more

This place is very large with tons of indoor and outdoor seating. There are beautiful views from this place and even a playground and a food truck next door. I got a blueberry lime non alcoholic drink for $6. It was OK. I got the cheesesteak with truffle fries which was all pretty bland. My bf got the lamb burger with fries and it just tasted off and not good. Food was fairly expensive for what you get. $90 wasted. Perhaps the cider is good but def not the food. read more

As others have said, the cider , ambiance and views are amazing but everything else falls flat. The service this past time around was disappointing. We had a new server so I wasn't expecting the service to be perfect but damn, it was painful. It took about 30 minutes just to order drinks alone then we had another server take our order and help us sporadically throughout the rest of the visit. We finally ordered food, waited and got it except one dish. When we told her we were missing one they seemed confused but didn't offer a solution (our hero food runner came out right as we were saying that). So we noshed, the meal I got was lackluster....I thought it was a simple bratwurst but it was smothered in mustard and sauerkraut (thought it was going to be on the side). It just made me sad and longing for something more. Cherry on the sad sundae was that I felt our new server actively avoided us even though we were giving them eyes for attention! Yeah it's wonderful cider and an awesome space with jaw dropping views but I don't think that's enough to get me back here again for awhile. read more

Acreage - Variety is seasonal ciders - Cideries Near Me - Lafayette, Colorado

We made our first visit to Acreage last night and it was literally perfect. Although we didn't have a reservation, we quickly snagged four seats at the bar at 6pm. Overall, the venue wasn't packed liked I read in some reviews. I can understand why this place is so popular with amazing views, lots of space outside and it's family friendly. Dylan was our server at the bar and he did a great job introducing us to all the cider choices and then the food menu. With four of us grazing, we got to try a variety of bites and ciders. Here is what we ordered: - Asiago Lobster Dip - so rich and decadent, we almost placed a second order, star of the show! - Thai Shrimp - they packed some heat, loved the cucumber and cabbage slaw - Shoyu Pork Belly - two thick pieces off glazed pork belly, perfectly prepared - Soft Pretzels- three large pretzels and yummy cheese and mustard dipping sauces - Thai Salmon Burger- loved the peach chutney and glaze - Cider Bratwurst w/ Truffle Fries - wish the brat was meatier with more crunch, fries were awesome - Donuts - they are cake donuts that fall apart as you eat them Two of us ordered fruity cider flights, while the other two ordered the pick you own flights. After tasting four ciders, my wife ordered a large Ridgeline and I went with Chile Guava. Both amazing choices! Can't wait to return! read more
