First time here. Not a bad place. Kids are welcome here. There are games to play and a big area for kids to run around in. They dont have beer. Unless its mixed with cider. Also they dont have noncarbonated / non alcoholic drinks. They do have a small snack good selection which was pretty good. It took a while for the bartender to see you with all the people at the bar. So that was a little annoying. Overall I will be back. read more

Disappointing experience. Very open with tall ceilings. Acoustics allow echos. Food was overpriced for simple snacks. Hard cider was ok, but that's about it. We won't be back. read more

We have been going to blue barn for over 2 years now and it is one of our favorite places as well as somewhere we take out of town guests. Due to covid, you have to buy food with your drinks, but we feel the prices have gone up way too much. What used to be a family run business now feels like a corporation. They have been adding things like brunch and reservations for seating, but honestly we don't like that! We liked bow blue barn used to be laid back, the owners were typically there, and we miss being able to sit up at the bar. I would recommended the fries and the pretzels to anyone, along with the sugar & spice cider. read more

I say 3 stars, but my boyfriend says 4. I wasn't really crazy about this place (but I'm a tough critic). They serve a bunch of different local ciders/beers and they're relatively cheap, but I wasn't a fan of any of the ones I tried. The bartender wasn't very enthusiastic and seemed bothered when we asked for his opinion on which ciders to choose. My boyfriend and I each got a flight of ciders for $8 each, which is a good deal in my opinion. A full glass is $6 and a single tasting is $2. They have 3 of their own ciders on tap and the rest are guest ciders and beers. We also shared soft everything pretzels with feta dipping sauce. I was skeptical to try the feta, but it was actually really good! Very flavorful. Everything is ordered at the bar, then they will deliver the food to your table number. No shortage of seating here. They also have cornhole! (My fave) read more

Stopped in on Saturday afternoon (5/12) with my sister and parents. There was a wedding in the front bar area, so we followed the signs to the back bar at the barn. The space is open, bright, and clean. The wood detailing on the wall behind the bar made it feel more rustic as the rest of the space is white metal walls and concrete. The bar staff was nice and friendly, and suggested a beer for my dad since he isn't big on ciders. He ended up with Three Heads Brewing: Rochestafarian and really enjoyed it. It was nice to see that they offered local wines and beers, along with the ciders, something for everyone. I was a bit disappointed that they only had 1 cider of their own on the menu, but it's my understanding that they are relatively new, so it was understandable. My mom, sister, and I all order cider flights, with each of us trying to get something different so we could taste a wide range of ciders. We also ordered the soft pretzels and charcuterie board for a light lunch to share. The food came out quickly, and was very nice for the price. The mustard that came with the soft pretzels was spicy and sweet, and was a great dipping sauce. The charcuterie board was well put together, but a little note card of what cheeses/meats we were eating and where they came from would have been a nice touch. The ciders we tried were really good. I really liked Blue Barn's sugar & spice & everything nice cider. It was like an apple cider donut in the form of a cider, would be great in the fall. Our favorite ciders were the MackJac Black Currant Passion (2 of us got growlers filled of it), and a blood orange cider that I can't recall the name of. We struck up a conversation with the owner, Jeremy. He told us about the new barn that is being built for weddings, and the events that they currently have and are planning to expand upon. Since my sister was the only one how has been there before, Jeremy quickly snuck our group into the main space so we could take a quick peek before the wedding party and guests arrived. The space was beautiful and very large. Very well done for a wedding. I can't wait to make another trip to the cidery when I visit my family. Very nice owner, great staff, and delicious drinks! read more

My wife loves blue barn it's like her place to escape with her friend's and have a good time

This place is perfect for a fall day out. It is set on a plot of land that overlooks a beautiful field and trees. If you're sitting outside at one of the many picnic tables it's a lovely view. Inside, the cidery has a nice bar and lots of high top and regular seating. You order at the main bar. There were only 3 bartenders on the day we went, so the wait time was a bit long. They offer a huge variety of cider, beer, wine and cocktails. Since you're probably there for the cider, I'll tell you about that. Order by the flight if you are new to the cidery. This allows you to sample 4 ciders at a time. This is a fun way to taste and evaluate each one without committing until you know what you like. The cidery does offer food, but this isn't their strong suit. I'd eat before going. Overall, the cidery is worth a visit, especially on a nice fall day! read more

Love the feel of this barn, very casual and laid back. You can sit outside and enjoy the sunshine or inside the barn and stay out of the breeze. Their drinks are amazing, love their ciders!! read more

This place is lots of fun. It's very open and the tables are spaced well. There are quite a bit of gluten free options- which is fantastic for those with dietary needs like myself. The list of ciders, mixed drinks and beer are awesome! Highly suggest a flight... Had a delicious breakfast sandwich with some amazing bacon- get the bacon!!!!!!! read more

So nice to have a Cidery nearby. Good atmosphere and decor. There's a patio out back, which will be nice in the summertime. Service was a tad slow, but the place was busy. Their own ciders were "eh," but they have some other local ciders and beers on tap which were good. Staff was polite and friendly. The nachos were very good and came out quickly despite them being so busy. Also, props to the servers who know how to pour a nitro stout!! (They let it settle before completing the pour.) Overall, I will definitely be back. read more

Love this place! They have food that you don't normally find in Hilton. Atmosphere is awesome and the bartenders are great!!!

Love love love this place . Almost felt like pre-Covid. So relaxing to sit outside enjoying the beautiful summer weather, trying a couple of the wonderful ciders, and eating what my husband called the best chicken sandwich he's had in a while. Miss the lawn games , but great mix of families, friend groups young and old, couples. Special treat was a happy, active boys baseball team chasing and laughing in the back field while parents Enjoyed some downtime. It was music to my ears. read more

Gorgeous new cidery with a good selection of ciders, a spacious and beautiful interior, and a big outdoor space with nice views of the nearby apple orchards. Stopped by during their opening weekend with a group of friends and we ordered cider flights for a reasonable price of 6$. My favorite was the "cider donut" hard cider which had a sweet, cinnamon flavor. You can order growlers and grumblers (32 oz growlers) to go from the bar. Highly recommend! read more

The Blue Barn Cidery has a great atmosphere as soon as you walk in. It feels comfortable and looks clean. They offer a great combination of ciders and local beers. I've been there several times now and usually try a flight. I haven't been disappointed with any of the ciders or beers. Well worth trying and I think you'll give it a thumbs up review too. read more

Normally I don't jump for cider but I came to Blue Barn with some friends who are big cider drinkers. The flight offered me the opportunity to sample several and I liked pretty much everything I tasted. More of a beer drinker, I was delighted that they had a hopped cider - I would highly recommend it! Also a favorite was the Loganberry cider. RE FOOD: Their queso and soft pretzels are both absurdly good, and they give you a lot for the cost. I was however pretty disappointed by the buffalo flatbread. It was undercooked (rubbery dough) and cut really haphazardly - awkwardly shaped slivers and slices. read more

Since K is a fan of ciders, we are always looking for cideries. This one is quite brand new and opened near our place. So we decided to take a look. First of all, they are located near apple picking place. Which is phenomenal coz you can have your apple literally drink it too. It's very country. Beautiful views and they do have outside seating which is great when weather permits. It's family friendly and I think kids love playing around on a farm. They don't make ciders here but they get it from rochester area. So think about this as a pub for ciders. They also have beers and soda on tap and you can do a mix of anything for flight tasting. We will be visiting more often here. read more

Attended a Yelp Elite event at the Cidery. It's a great family run business. I enjoyed the farm tour and hearing about the time and love they put into the farm. I believe it shows in their products. They have a great selection of Craft Hard Ciders and the fried cakes are tasty too. Products that match the work they put into their own. We got a growler to share with family. read more

This was my first time at this establishment and when I arrived I was standing at the bar at approximately 6:55pm. When the bartender came over to ask what I would like, I responded with which beer I would like to try. She walked away and while doing so checked her watch and came back over to me and told me "Sorry, but we are done. It's 7pm". Not only was she rude about it but very unprofessional as I left this place with a bad taste in my mouth. I will not be returning ! read more

Stopped by this new cidery on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. It was quite busy. I had a flight of four lovely ciders- Leonard oaks Steampunk. Blackbird Premium. 1911 Cider Donuts, OSB Mama Said Hop You Out. All of them were very good- especially the Cider Donut one- very yummy. They don't have good at this time. They are booking weddings with Forest Hills doing the catering. It would definitely be a wonderful location. It's a large garage style barn with garage roll up doors leading to a large patio so you can enjoy your Cider on a sunny day. You can play corn hole inside too! It was very busy and I can't wait to go back when they will be serving their own Cider mid- December. read more

The food was great, and the service was fast. Everything was spacious and everyone had proper distancing. Friendly environment and good culture. Highly recommended. read more

Awesome spot! Big inside and tons of tasty cider options, and some beer options for those non-cider loving folks. They have a wedding venue and the apple picking orchard all on site. Such a cute spot for big groups of people, and great for the kiddos too. they have some games outside like cornhole and a few others, with lots of picnic tables for those warmer days. A bit of a hike out to Hilton but worth it for a fall fun day! read more

Great Sunday brunch! Reserved a high top for 4 people and had a great breakfast. Our favorite ciders were Pop the Bubbly and Liberty. The food was delicious and the ordering system was fast and efficient; you can grab your seat then head to the bar for drinks and then the second counter for food. Beautiful scenery and great service. read more

I absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is industrial yet rustic at the same time. I love every single one of their ciders, especially the jamberry. There's plenty of space inside as well as ample amount of seating outside. There's lawn games, apple orchards, live music from time to time and special events like wine glass painting and family day. The music is a great selection of country. The food is standard bar food. Nothing to rave or complain about. In my opinion, there are only two areas of improvement. First would be the bees in the fall months. I know to a degree they are inevitable, but they were a little out of control the last time I went. The second area of improvement would be the bar staff. The bartenders are not terrible but they are not the friendliest and they tend to serve the ones they like/can talk to rather serving the rest of the bar that's waiting patiently. Nevertheless, I love this place, the atmosphere, and the cider! read more

Pretty setting and if you like cider, this place is nice, but the food is underwhelming and pricey. Chicken sandwich is that rubbery kind that I call fake chicken. read more

Blue Barn is a beautiful cidery about 25min from Rochester. My friends and I were recently here for their Cider Fest, which was a bit chaotic, but on a typical day, Blue Barn is a great place to relax and enjoy a drink. They offer several of their own ciders as well as other local ciders and craft beers. I highly recommend their jostaberry cider - it smells incredible and tastes even better. Sweet, but not overwhelming, and incredibly unique! Blue Barn also offers several food options, though I have not tried any of them. I'm happy to come here just for a drink! read more

Went there for cookie decorating! Which was awesome! My mom and I got some drinks before we sat down . The bartender was very rude to my mom when ordering the wrong drink. She gave a nasty look to her and whispered to her coworker. We were very annoyed. Other then that the atmosphere was great! read more

Came here Saturday night for some pre haunted hayride beverages. It is quite loud in there. Only one unisex bathroom, a game of cornhole, they did have a food truck, and a porty potty outside.... There are many tables, lots of kids running around which I thought was odd but I've seen it at other breweries. We sampled most of the ciders, they had a peach special that was delish. We enjoyed nachos, queso, and pretzels; all were very good! read more

Really liked coming here over the summer with wife and always enjoyed the cheese and meat sampler board. Came here tonight with a group of relatives from out of town and ordered a bunch of food including the cheese sampler... Unfortunately it was like half the size portion than we were use to seeing the 6 or 7 times we have ordered it in the past and could hardly call it an assortment for $13. We were so disappointed that I complained to the bar tender on how we were unhappy with this particular dish. I was not offered anything other than a "sorry you did not like it" and I later went back to the bar to order another glass of cider and was told he spoke with the chef and "they weigh everything on that dish"??? So I am incorrect for not being happy with the dish? Very odd... And the portion was indeed half what it was 3 weeks ago when we last had it and raved about it... I will NOT be raving about this place to our out of town relatives again or anyone else and I will also not order this $13 dish for 5 crackers and 3 small pieces of cheese with some salami again in the future... Not how you continue to build a good client base in my opinion... Shame read more

I've had hard cider before, but have yet to encounter a variety as that available at Blue Barn. I got a flight and a menu drink (peach blossum) and loved them all. (Note the peach blossum was, to me, akin to a juice box drink without any taste of alcohol.) The space is enormous and is definitely outfitted for a good time. Locals referred to it as a "party house" as the property hosts weddings and other events. There was a "sip and shop" event during my visit with Lularoe wares. Staff were helpful, everything looked clean, and the manner in which the space was decorated was impressive - lots of character and trendy atmosphere. I found Blue Barn to be a more upscale but casual setting. Don't let the barn and gravel lot fool you! Unfortunately, I didn't try any of the soft cider or food options, so I'll hold out an update for that next time I'm in the area. Anyone who's tried store bought or mass produced hard cider, I'd encourage to visit this cidery for quality drinks and a neat experience. read more

Blue Barn Cidery - Peach blossom is like a juice box. Dangerous. - Cideries Near Me - Hilton, New York

Beautiful spot! Went with a friend this past Wednesday and between the two of us we tried all of the Blue Barn ciders they had. The pineapple infused cider is absolutely delicious!!! Will definitely be back again!! read more

I love the cider here but waiting 30+ minutes for a charcuterie board is a little crazy. Also, being told "we're busy" when you have 12 or more open tables doesn't help. read more

Stopped by for the first time today after roaming around Zarpentines Maize maze around the corner for the morning. It was busy, but the place is big and open enough that you don't really notice. Plenty of seating inside and out and you don't really feel right on top of anybody. We were also there for the apple tasting event they had which was delicious and fun. I'm not a beer drinker so the large variety of ciders was right up my ally. I think total they had about 10 ciders and 5 beers on tap. We had a flight and my favorite was definitely the Westcider that Blue Barn makes themselves. I was a little disappointed that the bartender did really give me a full pour of the pint I ordered-which I was thinking may have been Bc I was using my free drink coupon from the event. ‍ The food truck they had on site was also a hot mess, but that's not the ciderys fault so I won't knock them for that! I look forward to coming back with friends and maybe trying the snacks they have on their menu as well! read more

Blue Barn Cidery - Cideries Near Me - Hilton, New York

This place has been on my bucket list so I'm glad I decided to check it out . Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed with brunch this past Sunday. The place it's self is gorgeous and spacious. You walk into their retail shop which has nicely set up merchandise, ciders, and even cocktail kits which I thought was pretty cool . The tasting room is very spacious with high ceilings and a nice bar set up with plenty of cider options and a few local drafts which was a nice touch. Now the reason I couldn't give 5 stars to this establishment is because of the brunch service. If you are expecting a traditional brunch well you might be a little disappointed. As a patron you will grab your own drinks and food . If you have alot to grab don't expect the staff to help you bring items to your table. I'd expect this kind of set up from a small brewery or winery in the finger lakes with little to no staff but that's not the case here. So that was a bit odd for me . The biggest disappointment for me was the food though we loved the pretzels the brunch items we had were not great at all . I ordered the eggs Benedict with bacon the poached eggs were cold and so was the hollandaise sauce. We also ordered the banana Foster's French toast that came out well undercooked that we had to walk up to the kitchen and order another one and wait for our pager to come up yet again to grab the new order . Honestly it's a nice place to visit just not for brunch. read more

Beautiful location, massive building I hope they grow into. I like that they offer area ciders, and hope any future ciders of their own are its amazing as the venue. read more

I love the atmosphere but disappointed in the 8pm kitchen closing. We got there at 8:05 and was looking forward to tasting and snacking.

I'm a regular at Green Acres and West Wind Farms, starting with blueberry picking season each Summer ... then leading into peach-picking, plums and then apples in the Fall. I have found indescribable joy there, for hours on-end, picking fruit from their beautiful rolling orchards. Imagine my excitement this season, as I watched the Blue Barn Cidery being built! And finally, the thrill that they opened, after many weeks of updates from the staff of waiting for licenses and paperwork to clear! It's an absolutely beautiful space, complete with corn-hole and other fun games, plenty of seating, including outdoor Adirondack chairs that overlook the orchards. Friendly & knowledgeable staff who will help you select, among many delicious ciders on the spectrum of super-dry to super-sweet. Very reasonably priced, which is always a win for me. I'm super-excited for the family-run West Wind Farms, Green Acres & now Blue Barn Cidery to round-out the farm-to-table experience! read more

We stopped here on a Saturday. There was a wedding so they had signs to enter the side entrance. It was very clean and spacious. We each ordered a flight! The cider choices were great as well as having a beer and soda selection. The menu looked really good too, but we weren't super hungry so we only ordered the pretzels. Now, I know it seems like soft pretzels are tough to screw up and so many places offer them now so I have had quite a few. Let me tell you - these were the most amazing pretzels I have ever had!!!!! We all looked at each other after taking that first bite and had the same look on our faces and all agreed they were amazeballs! On a side note - The bathrooms weren't available to use when we were there, but they had porta pottys right outside which were by far the cleanest I have ever been in. They have games you can play as well- it was a very enjoyable afternoon and we will definitely go back!!! read more

For a relaxing and updated experience this is the place! You can play a round of cornhole while sipping on a beverage within the barn adding a nice, friendly touch. The space is inviting and if weather permitting the large doors are a pleasant touch and a stunning view of the land. I only gave a lesser starred review due to personal taste and the lesser than fond desire of craft brews. Otherwise take the opportunity to sip on a glass of wine and enjoy the most beautiful views. Exceptional space for weddings, etc. read more

Went here to try a flight of ciders. The atmosphere was pleasant but it's not a place I would visit regularly, however I bet a wedding would be lovely here! The only thing I would change is table and chairs are metal and not very comfortable. read more
