Very nice place with traditional style ciders. Tim, the owner, took all the time to discuss the art of cider making. Keep up the good work! Maybe one day we can make a US - Belgian blend. Greetings from Belgium ??

I did not have a clue about cider. I thought it was a beer drink of some kind. Our waitress explained in detail about the ciders and suggested I may enjoy the sweet ciders. So we ordered a flight. She was absolutely right. It's always exciting to discover a new place with something you enjoy.

Y’all. Listen, I have spent YEARS in the service industry, lived all over the east side of this country and traveled the world, and let me tell you, this place *knows* how to not only make a DELICIOUS high quality product, but honestly even more than that THEY KNOW HOW TO GRACIOUSLY TREAT THE FOLKS WHO GIVE THEM MONEY. This little thing called excellent customer service is sadly a *rare* and precious gift these days. And for a place to be nailing it at both? Well, that’s gold, baby.Update: specifically Heather and Tim are absolute gems.

This is a wonderful place to visit if you like hard cider. Their frozen options are always fantastic.Kid-friendliness: This is a wonderful place for older kids to play cornhole.

Had a great time yesterday at Wise Bird Cider Co. My wife and I tasted eight of the ciders. We each found a favorite plus another to serve at Thanksgiving. Wise Bird is becoming a favorite place of ours.

A few of us stopped in to give it a try. Not impressed at all.The ciders weren't very good (had the pomme pomme i think is what it qas called).Atmosphere lacked music and enjoyment. There was no reason to stay after having a drink.Ate food from the pub next door since the food truck doesn't have a very good selection, and it's a food truck.They have a bocce ball court outside if that is your thing.Better ciders at other local places in town.

It's impossible to find "good" cider locally in the markets so when we discovered "Wise Bird", a prayer was answered. While, admittedly, they feature some semi-sweet, and semi-dry ciders, for us "good" cider is dry cider. WB has at least a dozen dry ciders! The drink menu also includes cider-based slushies and delicious sounding cocktails which incorporate cider into the "usual" ingredients. (Beer drinkers are accommodated too with several beers; I can only remember seeing West Sixth IPA but there were others.) The location is awesome - industrial in the first floor of a defunct distillery. There is bar seating, traditional tables with chairs on the floor as well as some cozy nooks and, our favorite, a row of high bar stools that face out huge windows that can be opened and which look out onto the lush green lawn with apple trees and cornhole boards. The Town Branch Creek then forms the outer boarder of the property. There is also a huge outdoor tent awning by the creek that you can opt to sit under. Back indoors, there is an assortment of board games and Jenga-type amusements available to patrons. Also, to the right of the property are the bocce courts. (So no excuse for saying you're bored!) Good tunes that are not too loud play in the background. Food is from their dedicated food truck parked right outside. The "Little Fork" calls itself "trailer gourmet" with a menu formed around "farm-to-table dishes". You place your food order at the bar and you're given a buzzer that alerts you to walk outside to pick it up from the truck when it's ready. Alternatively, you can order right at the cart with the same buzzer alert. Everything we've ever tried from Little Fork is really really really delicious and everything about this place is wonderful!
