“My wife and I happened to spot this cidery as we were walking through the South Slope area of downtown Asheville. Boy were we happy to bump into this place! A great addition to the many breweries that this area is known for.My wife is a huge fan of ciders. After trying the pick your own flight, she said this was one of the best cider experiences she has had. Sweet ciders, dry ciders, spicy ciders...you name it, they have it. In addition, they have a large assortment of beers as well for anyone who doesn't drink cider.Vibrant and fun place with super friendly staff. Add in some comfy couches, tvs, shuffleboard, pool table and a ping pong table, and you have one fun spot all the way around! Dogs are welcome inside, which is a huge bonus to any pet lover.“
“Stopped here in a whim. We were driving through the city/state and needed a break from the drive. Googled for a cidery and found this place. I figured the downtown would be busy and hard to park (unsure if true), and this location seemed perfect. We ended up doing a couple of cider flights, a couple of glasses, and purchasing a couple of cans for when we get back to our state. We played board games and chatted for almost 2 hours. Good way to catch up with friends on a road trip.“
“Food was great. We stopped for brunch. The cheese on the shareable pretzel was spectacular. I had the btl. Only complaint was that the bread was really toaty but that's a me thing. My friends raved about the cheesesteak sandwich. The banana chocolate pancakes were also really good but could be a lot if you are not used to it. Service was great. I'd love to come back next time I'm in town!“
“We love Hoppy Trees and have been regular patrons since they opened. It is by far one of favorite places to stop in and have a drink. The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy and the owner Paul is always welcoming. There is a wide array of drink options from liquor, beer, wine to non-alcoholic items for adults and kids. Snacks are available or you are welcome to bring in outside food. Love art? This is an art bar inspired by Bob Ross and the decor does not disappoint. Local artists are readily displayed throughout the space. There is even a great private room in the back for private gatherings or events. If you are a local or just visiting, I recommend stopping in and staying a while!!“
“Barn Door is fantastic! We were warmly greeted by the owners and then they explained their ciders and menu. We got a cider flight and a cheese board. It was delightful, delicious, and everything was excellent. The ciders were interesting, flavorful, and paired well with the cheese board. The atmosphere is very peaceful and a nice retreat away from the touristy, crowded mess of downtown Asheville. Barn Door Ciderworks is Asheville's best kept secret but it should be a secret no more!“
“Such a fan of Botanist and Barrel’s ciders and wines. I love that they are all natural and contain no weird additives. Extra brownie points since their organic ingredients are sourced locally from their farm or other local sources! Love the tasting rooms ambiance and chill vibes. Highly recommend!!“
