Whenever we find ourselves in Jack London Square, we make it a point to visit for a flight tasting. The venue boasts a comfortably spacious indoor area complemented by outdoor tables. Inside, the ambiance is bright and tidy, creating a welcoming atmosphere. They offer an extensive selection of delightful ciders, and we invariably leave with a few cans to enjoy at home. The staff consistently impresses us with their warmth and helpfulness, clearly taking pleasure in their work.

Good selection of ciders! They have renamed themselves and go heavily on the Metallica theme with rock music.

This review is solely for the cider offerings and BOY do they have A LOT. I'm not a huge cider fan myself because I always end up with a headache the nexr day BUT this place had some really delicious ciders that it was worth the headache.I came here alone before dinner and had a flight. Every one of my ciders were delicious except one that was only okay.I didn't play any of the pinball machines but the arcade area looked really cool. There were a lot of TV's where with sports on but the vibe was more alternative-rock which I loveddd. I didn't try any of the food. Also the name is now Hesher's Pizza and Taproom and not Crooked City Cider but they still have some Crooked City Cider merch and glassware. I'm looking forward to coming back and eating here.

First time here over the weekend with my husband. We ordered two cider flights. Mine was more on the sweet, tart and crisp side while my husband's had a lot of ginger notes on all 4 of his. My favorite was the Tart Cherry. We also ordered pizza from Hesher's inside - coffin something. I can't remember the name but it was so good. There were 8 slices and between us, we finished it along with our cider flight. Customer service was very friendly. The place only had a few tables of people so my husband and I were able to find a table tucked into the corner for some privacy.

Great selection of ciders for everyone's taste, a few beers, and maybe a couple meads if you're lucky.Great service, great pizza on site, and a nice vibe. For the kids, or the kid in you, they have pinball machines and various board games. We've been a couple times and will definitely be back!

First time visiting this place. I was looking for a place that serves various ciders. If you love ciders this is the place to visit! They have a wide selection of ciders/beers/wine. I decided to order the flight to try different ones. It's cool how they have ciders from all of the place. Service was quick you just go up and order. They have a separate window to order food. The ciders were pretty good and definitely would want to come here again some time. The place has a lot of space for sitting. They have a new large tables outside for larger parties.

Got invited to this place by some friends, I never knew this place existed! There's so many ciders to choose from and a lot of interesting ones at that. They're separated by flavor profile (dry,sweet, ext) and it makes it super helpful if you're not a usual cider-drinker. The best deal by far is their flights, around $12 for a huge flight of cider! Plus it really is nice with how many exciting flavors they have to have a small amount of each. But just incase you're a beer enthusiast, there is a small selection of IPAs and such available as well. There's a HUGE cabinet of games to play, lots of seating for big groups, outdoor seating, and game room!! What a place! They have a pizza place inside as well that makes killer pies. Definitely an amazing spot! Drinks, games, and pizza!? What els do you need!

Huge selection of ciders to try and plenty of space so great for groups. Super friendly bartender who can help you decide what to taste! If you can't make up your mind, give the dice a roll and let chance decide for you. Board games and colouring books are also available. Definitely would recommend this place for any after work happy hour or chill weekend afternoon.
Shout out to Crooked City sider owner Dana!!! So tonight my husband and I stopped in because they were having a trivia night! So fun right?! I know I thought the same thing! So we came in but we didn't get to play because we were a little late but then again we didn't think to ask could we hop in! Sooooo maybe we could of who knows but still it was so fun to just sit back and listen and play along even if we couldn't win the prize! Dana the owner was hosting and she's loads of fun! She mentioned they have trivia night every other Tuesday y'all so come check it out! Also on the First Friday of every month they have a Stand Up Comedy night!! We definitely want to check that out! I encourage you to stop in the next time your in jack London if not for the awesome entertainment then definitely for cider and Food!!! The pizza is phenomenal and the ciderrrrrrr oh boy! All I can say is you won't be disappointed if you try it out and once you do you will be HOOKED!

The ciders here are delicious! They have a huge variety and I tend to gravitate towards the sweet ones which I was not disappointed. I got a flight which comes with 4 and you pay by the individual glass. I don't remember exactly what I got unfortunately but i do know one of them is a pineapple and another one was something that was a tad spicy. All of their drinks that I had were light and refreshing. They have an indoor and outdoor so it was really nice to enjoy outside on a nice day. I would definitely come back to try more of their ciders. I wish they had more food instead of just pizzas though.

Great selection of cider and a pop up including The GrilledCheezGuy for food. Open 7 days a week!

WAAAAY LOUD, super echoey acoustics. I bet that will be fixed soon though as this is still a soft launch. Other than that it looks great, convivial with 20+ taps of cider! About 10 beer taps too.
