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!

We brought our 7 month old and the outside area was perfect to put out a blanket for him to enjoy the grass and weather while we sipped on our beverages. Service was friendly and I definitely bought bottles to take home with me! I just wish they had the korean big pear one! They didn't have the third non-alcoholic one available to taste or purchase the day I went. Overall, love this spot and would definitely come back next time I'm on Vashon Island!

Meat pies well worth it. They brew great beer. Friendly staff. Enjoyed the outdoor seating.read more

I am giving them a solid four stars. We ordered a pretzel, pizza, and bottle of cider. The cider,…read morewhile not my favorite, was from Vashon which I think is great. Love supporting local business and trying new things. The pretzel and beer cheese dipping sauce was probably the best part of the meal. It was delicious. Super soft, salty, and the beer cheese I could drink. The pizza was good, thin crust, fresh ingredients. Overall, I would recommend here if you are on the island and looking for something to eat.

We started with a…read moremimosa flight and a Pink Pony (marionberry milkshake blond) and two turkey sandwiches (1 GF and 1 regular). The staff is super friendly and happy to discuss and offer samples. The barn brewery is a fun place to grab some drinks and hang out. BTW - they have a beer CSA. Both sandwiches were tasty and perfectly sized for lunch with drinks. Bonus: We watched the team break down rhubarb in the brewery for later use.

This was such a neat place. It is making outdoor seating, which was nice for us on a sunny day…read more There are plenty of tables with umbrella over them. The food is reasonable and was tasty, although my beer was not my preference. They have a lot of IPAs which is typical for the area. Great 3rd space. This would especially be great for someone with kids since they have a bunch of grass to run around in and a playground. I loved seeing the alpacas and was happy they got closer my side of the fence.

Loved the outdoor music! I'm hoping to go back soon! I would like more food choices but it was a…read moregreat experience

Wow! Sorry Locust cider, Cockrell cider is delicious!!! So good! What a fun cider spot to visit…read more Located on a quaint small orchard with home vibes. Feels like you're visiting a friend's home. A small inside area with swag for sale. T-shirts, hats, sweatshirts and glasses. Different flavors from dry Brut style ciders to ciders with habanero pepper flavor. Strawberry is delicious! The vibe is a farm style tables, chickens and several seating areas. It is located in a neighborhood and parking only on site. The bathrooms are porta potties. Excellent friendly service. They don't serve food, but have rotating food trucks. On this visit the food truck was serving scallops. Super yummy. A fun spot. Can't wait to go back. Took some items to go. Enjoy life!

Great owner! He can be fun to talk to sometimes. It's hard to tell when they are open. I guess they…read morechanged their huge window honeycomb sign and use something else now. I drove by for almost a year, not knowing they changed this sign, thinking it was just "off". It's just so hard to see from the road. Prices are steep, like seven dollars a pint? At the brew house source? The chairs are hard and are all pretty high off the ground. I have a messed up upper spine, and the back gets sore after a while. I can almost never afford the place. I think their hot dogs went up in price too. Don't even get me started on the food truck prices I've seen there, lol. But I tell you what, it can be a nice change from the other grungy bars in town. One time a performer was pretending to be very kind to me. He had got me all excited about going up on stage to sing a song with him, and then said I couldn't, and humiliated me in front of everyone. It was super weird. He seemed like such a humble guy at first. What a creep! Needless to say, with the price, chairs and everything, I rarely stop in. And I always make sure it's before any performers arrive if I do. More into their beer garden events and involvement in the community.

Decided to stop in here for a beer on our way out of town, I'm so glad we did. They have a nice…read moreselection of beer and some food on the menu. We walked in around 3pm on a Saturday and it wasn't busy but the crowd quickly followed behind us! I think what I really loved most about this place was the friendly atmosphere. Several guests in the bar made friendly conversation and recommendations for us. We ended up just having one drink each, the juicy bine and I think the other was called the bent bine. Both were great and would have loved to try another but that will have to wait for another day!

THE SHORT OF IT: - If you like ciders and/or pinball, this…read moreis your place. THE INSIDE: - About 6 barstools overlook the sunken pit area where pinball lives. I haven't seen the usual setup, but I'm assuming there's usually tables and chairs in the middle. THE FOOD: - Kitchen is currently closed, but outside food is more than welcome. Snack foods (chips, peanuts, similar) available at register. THE CIDERS: - I had a flight and they were all amazing. Standouts were: vanilla bean (sweet but not too sweet; light, refreshing, true vanilla flavor) and dark maple (not saccharine sweet; just on the edge with a dryness and truly outstanding flavor... dangerously delicious). - I kept expecting all of them to be overly sweet; but they all kept surprising me. Watermelon was another favorite. SERVICE: - Quick and kind with a smile. You'll love the vibes. SIDE NOTES: - We traveled from the Seattle area as Locust Cider had the Winchester Mystery House pinball machine on loan for the weekend. Only 500 were made, and this is currently the only one in the state. Your next closest is Next Level Museum in Oregon if you want to play this extraordinary machine. It's worth it! - We came on a salsa lesson night, so most pinball machines were blocked by tables. That's alright because 7 were unblocked and provided plenty of entertainment while the salsa lessons happened. - I think pinball + salsa music + sipping refreshing ciders is the new best way to enjoy a Saturday night. EDIT: some spelling mistakes on my part, oops.

There's an indoor space downstairs, and upstairs space with a bar and video games, uncovered and covered outdoor patio areas with equipment for live musicians, and a little forested enclave with seating and a fireplace. Beyond their awesome ambiance, their ciders were all varied and delicious. They have 26 taps to choose from. We tried a bunch of their 4oz pours. My favorites turned out to be (surprisingly) their seasonal Chai and their Honey Pear, but each one that I tasted was unique and flavorful. I felt the intentionality in each one. They have a full food menu that includes gluten free tater tots and chicken nuggets. Service was awesome, by the way. Two of the kegs we wanted to try had blown, so the bartender brought us a few extra pours for having to wait. I'm super bummed that I never made it back for a second visit. I implore you to try this place if you haven't!

Stopped by the Wine Shop Vashon after an event across the way. What a cute little shop!…read moreUnfortunately food service was closing down so we couldn't explore any of the menu, but it did smell good in there. The inside space is cozy and intimate. Definitely a great spot for a little date moment or hanging out with a friend. There's outdoor seating in the front and back, and we opted for enjoying the outdoor space in the back since it was a nice day. Quaint and simple seating, but it was comfy and there was plenty of shade. We just went with a Pinot Gris that was being featured and it was delicious. If I didn't have to catch the ferry, I probably would've done a wine flight. They also have plenty of bottles available for purchase to take home which is always appreciated. I'm on Vashon a couple times a year, and definitely plan on returning on my next journey over.
