I'm a big fan of East Bower Cider. What an awesome addition to the east w d market area. The only…read morething that is a little annoying is that you do you have to pay for parking and then get validated within the biz. So if you see the signs don't worry, you do have to deal with it, but can get it validated inside. I've been in a few times and enjoyed myself each time. I've sat both outside and inside, I love the fire pits outside but they are usually taken. The outside area is definitely kid and pet friendly. Inside it's nice, not too big, has a nice vibe to it. I've liked pretty much every cider I've had and I also enjoyed that they let you taste test them before you commit to one. If it's your first time going in the tasting flight is probably the way to go. My top picks recently have been their cranberry orange cider and their pumpkin chai cider. The bartender let me know that they steep the cider with the tea leaves and spices, you can definitely taste it. They also do a few cider based cocktails, if you're more interested in something with some liquor in it, they have options there. Overall just a really great spot to stop in and grab a drink or hang out for a while with friends

When you arrive there is plenty of…read moreparking, just a heads up though that this is a paid lot and you'll need to scan the parking validation code once inside the Cidery. When you walk in you'll feel like you've been transported to a laid back, bright, and community centric space. To order you'll walk up to the counter to order and then grab a seat wherever it's open. There is plenty of space inside and outside. I ordered the queen bee (semi dry, made with local honey and hints of tropical fruit aromas) which was not too sweet and was refreshing. If you are in the area definitely check out East Bower Cider.

Such an incredible establishment!…read more North Carolina has a bit of my heart when it comes to establishments such as the Botanist and Barrel. Both a natural winery and natural cidery, this place has something for everyone. With an INCREDIBLY laid back experience in mind, I recommend you visit this site on a nice day, bring a picnic and enjoy a selection of thier best offerings in thier back yard. My wife and I recently came for their anniversary celebration, where they had wine sampling, live music, and a pizza oven. With such a great space, such great beverages, and fun music, there is nowhere I would have rather been. Now let's talk about their beverages. We had samples of their wines, and we also bought a flight to ensure we sampled the full spectrum. All of their wines are made using the natural method, which means that they have exactly one ingredient - grapes. Their wine brand goes by the name of DeFi, and these are all NC and VA-procured grapes, fermented and bottled on-site. I especially loved each of their Pet Nats along with the Piquette Rouge. These wines are all bone dry and bring in some wanted natural notes, which I love in natural wines. Oh, and their ciders! I had never heard of a Pet Nat cider, but now I am all in! All deliciously dry and complex with fun added fruit flavors. I am especially fond that they use the only North American tropical fruit - the Paw Paw in their ciders. The produce used in their ciders is harvested locally as well, and with the amazing combination of different apples used in their ciders, each is unique and delicious. They also have an amazing little market with local specialties, which is based on an honor payment system (something I have rarely seen). If you are anywhere in the Raleigh-Durham area, I highly recommend stopping by and enjoying the amazing offerings here. You will not regret stopping by.

Botanist and Barrel is worth your time for so many reasons:…read more 1. Cider that doesn't taste like it was produced by a blind platypus with an addiction to sugar. 2. The drive is beautiful- even if it might be long, depending on your starting point. 3. It's a peaceful, lovely spot where you can relax and hang out. With or without friends, this place has serenity etched into its bones. 4. Service is knowledgeable and prompt. But if you're claustrophobic don't wait at the bar indoors. Parking is plentiful, there are outdoors shades, birdsong, and again- cider. They also have beer and wine available. Bring your dog, bring your friends, bring your thirst. They're all welcome here.

It was raining pretty good today but we needed something to do. This place is amazing. GREAT slushies and tasty cider. Snd the grounds are so charming and adorable. We even brought home some local peaches which is fun. The worker gave even gave me a pour tour book so I can get to know the local nearby breweries. Can't wait to go back. Upon reading into them I love them even more. Their values are on par with my families which I appreciate especially in this area. Kudos!

My husband and I visited on a Saturday in November around 2:30-3pm. It was busy but not crowded,…read morethere was plenty of parking and lots of open tables inside and picnic tables outside to sit at. We sat outside because it was a beautiful day, especially for November. We first heard about the cider when we visited their booth at the state fair and had a sample of one of their ciders. We were told they were available in the Raleigh area at Whole Foods but when we went to Whole Foods there was only 1 bottle of 1 variety there. We decided we would just take the hour drive down to the actual cider house and then we'd get to try them all and have a huge assortment to choose from. This was not the case though and I have to say we were very disappointed. Very few of the varieties available on their website are available at the cider house. The bartender said some of them were seasonal but then why not update the website? They actually only had 10 varieties available on tap and unfortunately only 5 of those were ones we had picked out from the website. We are big bourbon fans and go around to a lot of the bourbon distilleries so I do understand that 10 varieties IS actually a lot, especially considering a small distillery would not have anywhere near that many varieties. I just wish our expectations hadn't exceeded the actual visit. The flights were really fun to taste, we got 2 flights so we each got to taste 8 of the varieties and we picked 4 out from those 10 that we liked. But then we also wanted to buy a bottle of each of the ones we liked for Thanksgiving and only 3 were available....

We sat inside but there was plenty of outdoor space that would be perfect on a beautiful day. They also constantly have food trucks and the schedule is listed on their website. The interior vibe is so fun and fresh. And it is absolutely reflected in their cider. I don't think there was one that I didn't like. There were definitely some I liked more than other but everything was quite tasty. I tried the Off Main, Upside Down, and Sweet Carolina. I should have gotten some cans or growlers to take home but will try to do that next time. I want to come back to try the Bludacris! Thanks to the bartenders for being so knowledgeable and friendly.

Also, they are not stingy with their sampling - which is so cool. They have a game room off to the right of the entrance for those who wish to get their game-on. Large screens TV's are available for your perusal as well. Very comfortable place with a wide range of seating to relax on as you sip your libations. I'll be back! #bullcitydrm
