Downeast Cider House

I swear Downeast has the best cider. I’ve tried a lot of different cider brands (bold rock, porter house, buskey) and nothing beats it for me. Sweet but not too sweet or tart, smooth taste, and flavors are so spot on.

My fiance and I came to Downeast to enjoy
the sunset. It was so awesome and they even had a DJ. Thank you to Ethan and Ellen for making our night so special. We heard they are having a Taylor Swift album listen through party and will definitely be back!!

Super friendly staff (we love Chris!!) and the cider is delicious! We had a lot of fun trying all of the flavors with the flights indoors, and the outdoor space on the waterfront has such beautiful views and fun vibes. We can't wait to go again :)

This beer is amazing. They have a flight tasting for $15 and I highly recommend it if you’ve never had their beer before. The peach mango was some of the best I’ve ever had, but all of them were really good. I actually ordered some to be shipped back home from their website. We haven’t tried their pop-up, which seems to be across the parking lot, but we may soon. It’s also a nice walk from the Hyatt Regency.

Wanted to go here for years. Everytime I ce to Boston it was either too late to go or just a bad time for me to go. Finally made it!! Everything was Soo good. Inside was small but really cool. Everyone was really nice. I couldn't finishy flight cause I'm lightweight. But I would if I could.

The downeast cider house has a lot of fun flavors available, which some neat exclusive ones! While we were limited to one main flight each, Ellen gave excellent service and made the visit incredibly enjoyable! Especially on a holiday. Would stop by again for a quick treat!

I'm a ski bum from vermont... ex wife stole my skis so now I go sledding

I love the set up that makes you feel like a part of the process. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, great flavors to choose from. Highly recommend just for the experience alone but if you’re a fan of ciders in general this is a great place to stop.

Yeah, this place is great.
It's my cider of choice in Boston

I have been a fan of Downeast for a while. Their ciders are fantastic and have had great experiences at their tasting room. Today unfortunately was not one of those days. We drove an hour to be told we would be limited to one flight. There is nothing on socials or their website explaining the limits. We were told it had something to do with the liquor license but I suspect it has more to do with moving customers through quickly because the space is limited. I also suspect that is not an accurate statement because a reserved table there at the same time were able to receive full pours, multiple flights, and cider shots with the employees. I also observed employees drinking full pours while they were working. When asked why they were able to receive more pours and flights we were told it was an employee party and the liquor license limitation doesnt pertain to employees. It was a disappointing experience. Don't waste your time coming to the tap room. It's not worth it. Wait until the summer when you can get full pours at the outdoor pop up bar.

We stopped by on our way to the red Sox game. When we got there we were informed it was only 1 flight per person which was a shocker. It should be posted on your website. But what got us was there was a table behind us who got full pours, each had flights and went up to the counter to take a shot. When I went up to ask if I could get another flight, I was told no sorry onmy 1 per person. I asked well why does that other label have full pours and flights. The lady said that they were employees. I said so employees off the clock that come in on their day off get whatever they want but the customers can only get 1 flight. She didn't know what to say. Then while we were there both people behind the bar had a few pours while on the job. Not a good look for you all whole your employees are drinking behind the bar and taken shots.

Had a bit of an adventure getting there. I wouldn't advise walking in the area after dark if you can avoid it (location is towards the back of a shipyard and was relatively isolated - HOWEVER I did go in February, and most people don't walk around at night in February to begin with). When we arrived there weren't any signs outside except for a piece of paper taped to the wall indicating the main entrance (door was open). I included a picture of the do not enter sign that unfortunately wasn't there when we showed up. I was elected to journey forth into the partially darkened warehouse until I found a very confused looking employee who very kindly showed me and my friends to the right place and put up the sign.

The bar had a one flight per person per day policy, which makes sense to me since supervising drunk people surrounded by heavy, working machinery sounds like a nightmare. The cider itself was delicious, and there was a flavor for everyone.

My only suggestion is to please add more signage outside! My friends and I did think there was a 50-75% chance that we'd end up on a law and order SVU episode up until we were actually in the taproom.

Absolute best time of our lives!! Steven is the best and was super helpful- can’t wait to go back

I popped in to buy some cider for my husband today and the woman at the register was kind and helpful, letting me taste a few before I made my selections. Looked like they had a neat remote location by the water steps away, too!
