About Twisted Cedar Tap House

Twisted Cedar Tap House in Mariposa offers a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors. The bar features an impressive selection of world beers, including Smithwick’s, Hen’s Tooth, and Hofbräu, along with a notable array of local mead that the owner passionately crafts in four different varieties—sweeter, dryer, with spices, or fruit. Guests often enjoy a flight of meads such as tropical, berry, and apple, which pair well with the food from the adjacent BBQ diner, known for its mindblowing meat. The bar’s staff, especially the bartender, are friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable, creating a warm, 'cheers-like' environment that encourages good conversations. The place is also appreciated for its great service and atmosphere, making it a top recommendation near Yosemite NP. While some visitors note that the atmosphere can sometimes feel a bit flat or more like a cafe, overall, the Twisted Cedar is seen as a great spot to enjoy drinks, including beers, ciders, and especially mead. The food from the BBQ next door is popular and tends to sell out quickly, so ordering early is advised. Visitors often leave satisfied, appreciating the combination of good drinks, friendly service, and a cozy setting perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the area.
