Locust Cider Belmar Reviews
I'm on a mission to try all the Denver area cider houses and I can't believe I haven't made it to Locust sooner! In one visit, it has quickly risen to my top five. In fact, two of the Ciders in my flight made me sit back in my seat with eyes wide open. They were absolutely delicious! both of those flavors were temporary, seasonal offerings, but truly each flavor was vibrant and unique. If you make it in time to try the chai spice or the cinnamon cranberry, I highly recommend both! They also happened to have a mulled hot cider that was incredibly aromatic and perfect for a cold day outside. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. I hope we can visit again soon!
We met a friend from out of town at Locust and it was the perfect spot for drinks and small bites. We got the Fort Worth flatbread and the pretzel bites to share and then we each got a flight. The pretzel bites were great and the mustard dipping sauce really made it. The flatbreads are made on pita bread and are good for sharing. I liked the pork on the Fort Worth but wish there were jalapeños as well. I love doing flights because you're able to sample so much- I tried the original dry, vanilla bean, berry blues, honey pear, juicy peach, and the barrel aged peach spice which was an extra charge bc it's 16%. My husband really loved the peach spice, but my favorite was the original dry followed by the honey pear but all were really good. My husband who usually isn't a big fan of ciders even talked about taking some to an upcoming party we have. We definitely recommend!
First time here! I've had Locust before but never at an actual location. We went to a movie in Belmar and wanted a drink before dinner; we have the Denver Hop Passport which was nice to get a BoGo cider (especially because my cider was 9.85 which I feel is steep). The bartender was super nice and let me taste the watermelon and mojito ciders - they had so many different ones on top! I ended up with the mojito and it was very nice.
Locust is new to our neighborhood - a fabulous addition in my opinion! There's always room for cider and we don't have many cider options IMO. We enjoyed four ciders: Dark Cherry and Black Currant for me (a tad sour, crisp, but with some sweetness). Love both. He had the New England Amber and the Original Dry. Both not too sweet, not sour either. We also enjoyed two of their flatbreads: Fort Worth and the Spokane. The Fort Worth with BBQ sauce drizzled was really tasty. The Spokane wasn't my favorite, but might be better if the olives were chopped and even distributed versus having a few whole olives in various places. We still finished them both, lol. And for starters, he ordered the mini corn dogs. They were surprisingly tasty :) We'll def return to try more of their cider options and enjoy their large space, inside and out.
This is a great place to stop in for a craft cider. The flavors are really unique and cover the full range from dry to extremely sweet. The Dark Cherry is a personal favorite of mine. The servers are really knowledgeable and will steer you to a cider you will love. They even have barrel-aged ciders. They have a free comedy show the first Friday of every month. Check it out!
