Service was pretty fast and friendly, only bummer was that we wanted to watch game 6 of the mariners but it was the same time they had a Halloween movie event and they were also having a reserved staff party so it wasn't a good environment to watch the game as the movie night screen was right next to the movie night and the other tv was being used by the reserved room. Overall cute spot

There is a kitchen with some limited food options. Cons: The person at the register was pretty condescending. We were expecting a more varied food selection because it seems they used to partner with a restaurant but not anymore.

This local taproom is all about the cider…read more The Bale Breaker has a stacked lineup of brews and ciders on tap. From IPAs, fruity goodness, and non-alcoholic bevvies, I guarantee there's something for everyone in your group to enjoy. I met up with a group of friends for a mid-week drink at this Ballard favorite. My drink of choice was the Wassail, a holiday spiced cider. A more traditional cider in comparison to some of their wacky flavors. Their outside patio is large, with a variety of both covered and uncovered seats available. While they don't serve food onsite, you can view their website for a calendar of upcoming food trucks. We were also obsessed with their analog photo-booth and ended up having a very expensive photo shoot post-drinks.

There was a live band the day we visited. Gets pretty crowded and parking is street parking so always a challenge but it's a great place to hangout

Great cider house - over the past few years they have really built it up to be a community space…read more Over a dozen ciders on tap to choose from with some creative flavors - I especially liked the coconut cider this time. Even though the place was bustling, service was patient and friendly. Lots of outdoor seating, and the coolest part is you can grab a cider and watch the animals that are part of the petting zoo farm. The highland cows, alpacas, and goats are adorable and well cared for. Also love that there's now a food truck there sometimes. Plenty of parking, too - my only wish is that there be a traffic light at their intersection as it's very difficult to turn in and out. Not their fault!

There is limited food to purchase but they do have a food truck there sometimes. Large covered are to rent for parties. Overall their ciders are good. I feel the flavors are hit and miss. More hit than miss. I did a flight of 6 and 2-3 of them didn't have much flavor. But the others were delicious! Is it worth the drive?....yes

We more or less stumbled upon it because we had parked in the garage just below. I really liked it. A great selection of ciders--I really like their Pub Dry--which you can flight. We opted to try a couple of varieties ourselves, rather than a flight, and they let us taste them before we committed. Food options were pretty sparse when we were there. They were out of all the folds (it wasn't even 6!), so all that we could get were sausages in a bun. Perfectly edible, but low-key. Locust's emphasis is certainly on the cider, less on the food! Staff was friendly and helpful. When my girlfriend accidentally spilled her full glass because the table was slightly rickety, they replaced it without question. That was so nice! The place is pretty open, with lots of natural light. Has a really good vibe. There are plenty of options for seating, but the place could easily accommodate more tables and seats. There's a lot of unoccupied floor space. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm downtown or near the Market.

Wonderful open space with tons of windows for people watching. Very unique spread of flavors and a much needed spot to just sit and relax after a busy day.

Service was super friendly and willing to make recommendations (and keep me from making a bad choice)! I opted for a mixed cider - blackberry and vanilla... and it was EXCELLENT! I never thought to mix ciders... so this was a little eye-opening as to possibilities! Would definitely get that same mix again... or get either one separately. The stools could be a bit more comfortable, but I suppose they probably get more comfy the more you drink, lol. Would definitely return! Overall rating: *****FIVE STARS*****

Super cool orchard and tasting room! Dragon head offers an open space that is open to all ages…read more They have a beautiful orchard with chairs, hammocks, and benches where you can sit and sip cider. They allow you to stroll through their orchard rows at your leisure. There isn't much there for entertainment, but it's an open area that serves cider, you can bring your own snacks and games, music etc. My kids really enjoyed chasing the bullfrogs by the pond. I had sort of assumed that the kids would get bored quickly and we would leave right away. But they were so entertained playing in nature that I couldn't get them to leave for hours, which made for a relaxing afternoon for me and my wife as we sipped cider and watched them play. The cider itself is some of the best I've ever had. I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur and I would rank dragon head as my top cider in the state.

We were warmly greeted and though our hostess was new, she did a wonderful job taking care of our large group of 12. Everything ran smoothly and she was great at keeping track of our progress. We learned more about the cider process and where they get their apples from. We really liked the port-like Pommeau and got a bottle of that at the end to share. They have a beautiful orchard that you can walk around in as well. Some nice seating areas scattered about or bring a picnic blanket. No food but maybe some snacks for purchase. We just came from lunch in town so I wasn't looking for snacks while I was there. I saw some people who looked like they brought their own picnic/food to enjoy there. No restroom on site but a porta-potty.

The awesome staff mentioned that their tasting room was close by so we decided to go the next day to try more of their bottles. Tasting flight is $15 with a $5 upgrades to try a liqueur and the non-alcoholic cider as a finishing palate cleanser. We bought their Pippin cider and ended up getting another set of their non-alcoholic cider. A friend bought their liqueur saying it had a very interesting and unique flavor that reminded him of childhood memories - that earthy, outdoors freedom he grew up with. The tasting room is a beautiful, open space and great to relax in as you sample the various ciders. You can also order full glasses if you have a favorite. There is a big patio outside lined with apple trees and lots of grassy area to lay a picnic blanket and more seating.

The tasting room was bright and modern and the cider experts that led the tasting were knowledgeable and friendly! They made what could have be mundane, fun! I came on a sunny day and sat on the patio! I had a view of the lawn and the vines! This made Nashi accessible to families with littles and pets! This has to be a stop on your Vashon Island day or weekend trip! I also love that it is a locally owned and operated business!
