I was pleasantly surprised to find a cider brewery. Stopped by with my dog and was able to sit on the patio. The ciders weren't what I was expecting as I tend to like fruity ones like pear and raspberry, and you won't find them here. Overall it was a nice stop on the way home. Got a 5 flavor flight for just $15.

My wife and I came to see "Brother Brothers" and "Mothra" and we're glad we did! Super comfy setting with a relaxed warm vibe all backed up by the main reason anyone should go here.....Cider! We didn't try all of them but the ones we did were superb! Looking forward to another visit.

A fun place with live music. We had a blast. Great tacos and easy parking.Loved the cider. Loved the music.An indoor outdoor feel.

Great staff and selection of different styles of ciders. They know they're ciders well and offer a taste before one commits to a whole pint. I like to enjoy doing a taste of all of them and they are able to host a tasting flight . Relaxed setting and music on the weekends. Great outside space to relax and sip when it's nice outside. Thanks Cider house!

We drove up from Los Angeles and planned to stop in here to try a flight around 230pm. Their website says they open at 1pm.However, when we arrived, we were told to come back at 4pm and get a flight then.We're going to Tin City Cider instead. ✌?

Found this little gem by accident. Tucked away behind an auto repair shop and a cute coffee shop. Wide selection so they recommend a flight. We tried 7 different flavors and both of us liked the Anne Bonney, a bourbon barrel aged cider. Our 2nd favorites were the Session and the Colony. Very nice.

Always a great place to have cider relax and take some for later!

Very fun and some of the best cider in North County.
Been coming here for years. Ciders are dry but the flavors are there. They press the apples themselves. There are usually 6 to 8 ciders on tap. For those that don't like cider, there is Lone Madrone wine available too. This is a must try if you haven't been here.

I grew up drinking hard cider (well, maybe not my whole life...) in Canada and this is pretty darn close to what I remember good cider to be. Hubby and I both did a tasting, mine was comped as a part of an official Yelp event. I was expecting tiny little tasting glasses, but their pours were beyond generous. In fact, I couldn't even finish them all. I liked all of them, my favorites were ones I would describe as more fruit forward. As long time members of Tablas Creek, we were excited to see that the cider maker and owner is the same winemaker as TC. The venue is relaxed and cozy, dog friendly and the staff were great. We would have loved to hear their live music offerings for the evening, but alas, we had to head home. Overall, I was fairly impressed with this understated operation and will stop by to pick up a pint or two in the future.

We came out to Bristol Cider for a Yelp Event this past weekend and were pleasantly surprised! Location: This venue is in an industrial area, so when we came at night, it stood out because it was so well lit and distinguished on its street. They had a small parking lot and plenty of street parking as well! They have a big outdoor patio with plenty of umbrellas and shaded areas for the day. They have all sorts of seating (benches, chairs, Adirondacks) and also have a few heaters for those chilly times too! The inside also has a combination of seating at the bar, on couches and little tables! Overall, plenty of room to enjoy their cider! Food & Drinks: the one drawback is that I didn't see any sort of food options being offered, but drinks.. they have plenty!! Lol they had quite a variety of cider options on tap, bottled and for tasting or taking home! Their flavors ranged and I attached a picture of their descriptions as well! My favorite was def the Joan's Best!!! The further down you get on the menu, the sweeter it is! Their service was also great and very friendly! It was well kept and clean, and they even had live music inside! It was such a good, fun vibe! I'd definitely return, and just by hanging out a bit, you can tell they have some regulars that really enjoy this spot and their offerings! Overall a great spot!!! If you're a cider fan, (which I am) definitely try them out!!! Cheers!!

Cheers!!!!!!!I've been coming here for years and I love how consistently delicious the cider is. The staff is always very friendly... Josh was so polite and fun, he took us on a tour of the cider making process. The cellar smelled so freaking good!! The classic cider is a go-to. It's like perfect!My new favorite is sierra crab. It's just as perfect! Great jobs guys! Thank you

Locally sourced apples are pressed and fermented into light ciders here at the bristol's. The first time I came it was so packed and live music filled the air. There is seating outside and inside. This time it was so quiet and calm. They do have some barrel aged ciders that are in beautiful bottles. If ciders are not your thing they have wine from lone madrone available for purchase.
