Cider is delicious, as is the food. As a pescatarian, I really appreciate all the vegetarian options and customizations. I joined the Cider Club and it is great. The ciders and discount are awesome but the camaraderie is the best. They also have beer, wine, and cocktails, so something for everyone! (Even N/A!) The Mexican Caesar with a side of fries is the BEST light lunch or dinner. I keep coming back for it. The service is always beyond incredible. Everyone is super friendly and eager to help you find what you want.

Amazing Vibes & Must-Try Hummus!
Bivouac in North Park is the perfect mix of cozy and cool, with lodge-inspired decor and a great vibe. The Green Goddess Hummus plate is a standout—super creamy, packed with flavor, and paired perfectly with warm pita and crisp veggies. It’s fresh, light, and addictive.
Their cider selection is just as impressive, with something for everyone—from dry and crisp to bold and fruity. The staff is friendly, the space is dog-friendly, and the whole experience feels like a little escape. Don’t miss it—and definitely don’t skip the hummus!

Beautiful space, loved the murals and tall ceilings. Appreciated true dedication to sustainability, eg no plastic and no takeout drink containers to encourage you to slowly savor.
Cider was good - got the pear rose. Would definitely come back for a tasting.
Food was good but not full on sit-down space. Burger was ok according to dining partner. Falafel wrap was good. Server was very nice in bringing both the green goddess hummus and dressing.
This is a really solid happy hour spot in the neighborhood! If you’re looking to stay gluten-free or are hanging with somebody who is GF, I’d recommend Bivouac.
The space is really cool; feels like a camping lodge! Lots of warm wood, climbing ropes, etc.
The meatballs and polenta bites were flavorful, delicious, reasonably priced and portioned, & had strong sauce/dip-pairings.
Service was okay. Not super attentive, and the flight took over 10 minutes to come out, which was weird, since the place wasn’t that busy. They ignored us a bit once some influencers showed up, meh.
Watch out for the pricing on the cider flights! (Meaning, there IS no listed price… think it was like $18 each? For 3 tasters.)
The hummus/crudites appetizer is underwhelming, as the veggies could be cut less coarsely, and the hummus was disarmingly minty (and not enough for all the dipping objects).

High expectations, low outcome. Bivouac cider itself is super delicious, which is why i was so excited to come! Seeing they host trivia on Thursday’s my friends and I decided to try it out in person, but the experience really fell short. Our server seemed strangely uninformed and confused about everything. He saved a large table for us but said we couldn’t sit there until our whole party showed up, so instead we occupied half of the bar seats, meaning others waiting couldn’t sit while they still held our table. The food was pretty mediocre - pretzel was cold and bland, meatballs were ok, hummus a pretty small serving given the other number of dipping items on the plate. The cider was still delicious, so if you’re coming just for that then it’ll be a good time! But I wouldn’t come back, personally. Happy to get their bevs elsewhere.

This place has become one of my absolute favorite hangouts. The cider selection is always top-notch, with a great variety of flavors to suit every palate. I’ve been especially loving the Rosé cider lately, it’s crisp and refreshing!
The food menu is just as impressive, especially if you’re vegetarian. The soyrizo tacos are packed with flavor, and the meze platter is a perfect sharable snack with a little bit of everything I crave. I’m looking forward to seeing what they roll out on the new menu!
Shout out to the team (Daniel, Jonnie, Camille, Tanner, Luke, and Joe) who always go above and beyond. They’re friendly, fast, and make everyone feel welcome. It’s the kind of place where you come for the drinks but end up staying for the great people. The weekly trivia nights are a blast too! Fun, engaging, and a great excuse to gather with friends or make new ones.
Can’t recommend this place enough if you’re into good cider, good vibes, and good company.

STOP SCROLLING. Sorry for yelling.
If you're looking for an October 10th time, this is the place. Biv is one of my favorite neighborhood spots not just because of the service (s/o to Daniel / Jonny / Luke / Joe / Camille) but because of the consistency in their food and bev quality.
I prefer my drinks on the drier / less sweet side so the Albright is my go-to for cider and Glamping for a cocktail. Their cider menu features a rotating R&D section too, which I appreciate because I get FOMO and always need to get a flight to try any new flavors that come out.
Let's talk about food now. They have a wide menu selection, super human and animal friendly. Some favorites are the Local Honey Roasted Carrots (they are GENEROUS with the pistachios, which is crazy. In this economy?), Three-Cheese Grilled Cheese, Fancy Fries obviously, Polenta Tots,... y'all I'm not even vegetarian. The Steak Frites come highly recommended, I think I'll try that next time and will update this with my thoughts. 4/17/2025 TBD.
Thank you to the folks at Bivouac for the amazing service, food, drinks, cleanliness, service, food, drinks, cleanliness (so great I had to say it twice)!!
A disappointing experience. Highly recommended going in but the poor experience was there from the start. No one to greet or explain self seating. Sat at the table for several minutes before being served while the wait staff went to adjacent tables. When we were finally served and the food came, it was off. The patatas bravas was not a patatas bravas. It was just potato pieces not smashed potatoes then deep fried. My friend’s burger was raw when she ordered medium/medium well. The food was cold. Only good thing was the aioli and the cider flight. The steak of steak frites was decent as was the arugula salad. Served never checked on us and it took forever to get our check. Probably some of the worst and inattentive service have experienced. We passed several places on our way that would have been better options. Leaving a review because want a woman owned business to do better. The bro atmosphere is going to hurt your business.
Walked in on a Friday was pretty dead but I wanted to try a cider. Was given a menu of their ciders with no prices. Ordered 2 ciders and it was $28… cmon if you’re going to charge that for 2 draft drinks at least put the price on the menu

What an incredible spot. Very good ciders, even if you aren’t normally a cider drinker. The staff were super friendly and the space is beautiful. Great happy hour, and the food looked very good even though we just had a quick snack. A must-visit!

Hey, so I came here for RD day to celebrate with Dietitians! The appetizers available were great! I especially loved the various dips and foods to be dipped! Pretty certain I was classy with a Marlin Spike, which is a refreshing pineapple pear cider! I would love to return under different circumstances to try the cider flight!
