You go inside to order and then can sit either outside or inside, both of which have ample seating. While the focus is on the cider and wines, you can also order a small sampling of food such as a cheese board or a bag of gourmet pretzels to accompany your drinks. Bent Ladder is co-located with Rittman's orchards, which has a large estate with orchards and pick-your-own berry fields. This would be a great place to take kids for picking and then grab a drink for the adults to enjoy.

The first time we visited, they'd run out of clean wine glasses and had to wait for the bartender…read moreto wash them by hand. Yep, a wine bar with not enough glasses. OK, whatever, they were busy. We were overcharged for our wine by a $1, but we let that go. The thing that annoyed me most was that they weren't even serving wine in the right glasses. There are red wine glasses and there are white wine glasses; You're a wine bar - serve it in the proper glass. So maybe it's just that one night when there was a crowd. Sadly, no. Went after work last week and only four other patrons. The three guys hanging out with owner all had red wine in red wine glasses, but the guy next to me got red wine in a white wine glass. So apparently they're just clueless. Or perhaps they were saving all the red wine glasses for friends of the owner. As far as wine selection, thumbs down. Maybe 20 whites, total. There are many, many restaurants with better selections, such as Papa Joe's, the Bistro in Kent, that will even serve your wine in the right wine glass -- imagine that! To be honest, I don't get the sense that they're taking their business seriously, more like, "Hey, let's open a wine bar! We don't know jack about wine or the service industry, but it couldn't possibly be THAT hard, right? We'll print up the wine lists on the home computer and put them in these 3 prong cardboard folders left over from when the kids were in middle school. Piece of cake."

The few drier ones had my interest, but that really only is only about 4 on a long list. If you like sweet drinks, this would be a great place to explore the menu. The renovated church is cool. Very modern and doesn't really feel like a church. It's a huge space. The building itself was a little confusing to navigate. Since it's housed in an old church, it wasn't obvious which entrance to use, and the main doors weren't open. (Answer: The entrance is through the closed patio.) Once inside, there wasn't a host or clear signage explaining whether guests should seat themselves or order at the counter, so we spent a few seconds trying to figure out how everything worked. As someone who appreciates clear direction when visiting a new place, it made for a slightly awkward first impression. The service was fine. This was my first time trying mead, so I was hoping for a little more guidance. The bartender was attentive and made sure we had what we needed, so I wouldn't say the service was bad. However, the experience felt a bit hands-off.

They only had a few left and opened one up so we could try it. The space inside is cozy and they have an outdoor yard area that I believe also had a fire pit. We really enjoyed tasting their wines and hanging out here!
