    Flight
    Aly W.

    I love mead so I dunno how this place has been around for five years without me finding out. It's a cute venue with several high top tables and a small bar. Some of their meads are made more like wine and served by the bottle. Others are made more like beer or cider and sold by the can. I prefer wine-like meads but tried a mix of both. You can order by the glass, but they also have a $12 flight of four generous pours. My favorite was the Bobby. It does taste a lot like bourbon as the description says. I also tried a couple berry meads, but I prefer more added sweetness. The color of the honeycomb indicates which is which - cool touch! They have a small food menu, and any cocktail can be made as a mocktail. Service is friendly.

    Place is open, clean, and festive

    Stopped in on a Wednesday evening to try some mead. The place is really cute and festively decorated for Christmas. My hubby and I sat at the bar so that we could talk to Ben, our bartender for the evening. Ben was very knowledgeable about the many different types of libation offered. I decided to order a Bourbon Apple Pie Sipper, a delicious warm drink. My husband had a Pumqueen Spice mead. It was tasty and served chilled. We decided to try a Bacon Arugula pizza drizzled with honey, and it was very good. Next, we tried the Cougar, a blend of beer and mead. We enjoyed that as well. All in all, we were impressed with the variety of offerings and the quality of our choices.

    Great spot to stop, hang out with friends and enjoy a huge variety of meades. This place is super cute, the bee and honey theme can be seen throughout the place from the mead list to the flight labels to the tables to the bathroom. Very well thought out and designed. The staff was friendly and they had a wide selection of meades with different tastes and attributes. I enjoyed my choice, but be aware it does sit a little heavier than some alcohols. I was tempted to get the flight but was glad I didn't, not because it wasn't good but because I'm not sure I could have drank so much. They did offer food, which looked good, but we didn't have time to order any. All in all this was a cool place, I would def be interested in stopping by when in Lancaster again.

    Such a great place to stop for a relaxed mead cocktail after work or on weekends and enjoy the live music when there Absolutely recommend their winter version of the Tom & Jerry. Complimentary popcorn is addictive with their secret seasoning!

    I love small businesses and having the chance to talk to the creative sources behind the beverages. We tried a several meads and beers. Had a great time and such a positive experience.

    So much to choose from

    Honey is their thing. A little touch of it in most of their food and beverages. We tried a flight of many different beverages and then chose bottles to take home. we also had their pretzels with delicious dipping sauces. A nice place to go for unique drinks and eats

    This was the first time we were here so we jumped right in! We didn't ask questions, we read the menu and basically decided what we thought sounded good and I think we chose right! They are on the sweet side but they are brewed with honey! It is a cool little place and a band was setting up when we arrived. They even gave us popcorn to munch on while we chatted. Definitely will be back, we didn't have much time that day so stopped in for a drink next time we will stay longer and maybe try an appetizer!

    Great atmosphere, friendly owners, and a large selection of tasty meads! We stopped in during the day and it was quiet but it was a good opportunity to ask lots of questions about the meads and learn something new. We each ordered a tasting which comes with 4 generous pours of meads for $10. I really like that the titles of the meads are color coded and then served on those color pieces of paper, so I can keep track of what I'm tasting. My favorite meads were the Spi Cy and and H.A.P.P.Y., but everyone's tastes are different so I recommend trying one from each board. I highly recommend checking them out and giving them a chance even if you're not sure about mead. They also sell honey products. Will definitely be coming back!

    Such a fun new experience! Lots of seating and awesome variety of beverages and food. They really took the time to explain to us all the different flavor profiles the mead can take on, some taste like beer, some like wine, and some even have a whiskey/bourbon profile. I loved the sugar cookie one and the lemon lime one. I was amazed by how clever they are too, when you order a flight they match the tiles with the flavors on the board so it's easy to remember what you got. A bag of their popcorn was a great snack, they season it with a yummy season salt. You can tell this place pays a lot of attention to detail and the love behind it, every table had real flowers! Just so nice to see the pride in this place. Definitely try it out for something different!

    We love coming to Lilly Belle Meads. A nice couple runs the show and their customer service is fantastic. Meads are definitely unique and especially to Buffalonians. The key is to keep trying them and you will find one you like by tasting the flights that come on color coded honeycombs. The highlight was the Spi Cy - if you enjoy craft ciders, then this is your drink. Complimentary fresh popcorn is a nice touch and there are other beverage options to choose from as well as a small appetizer menu

    First time at a meadery; is that the word? It's a smallish place with a garage door that looks like it opens onto the sidewalk in nice weather. And I've never had mead because the word conjures an idea of a thick, sweet drink. Well, was I ever wrong. I had the Bee-lo and it was not thick or sweet. It was like a light ale tasting lightly of beeswax. The alcohol content is a bit more, and in some brews a lot more, than beer. The Bee-lo is a manageable 7.16% abv. And it is a straight mead made with honey, water and yeast. There are othets made with fruit or spices. There is live music Friday nights and the band playing on the night I visited was not too loud for the small room. There is is a handful of tables and seats at the bar to handle a decent crowd. All in all Lilly Belle Meads is a welcoming place. I'd stop in again on a music night if I was in the neighborhood. I only gave 4 stars because the only offering is mead. I'd like something else a little lower in alcohol, but that's just me.

    If I could only go to one brewery for the rest of my life, I would go to Seed + Stone. Being…read more(mostly) gluten free, I really appreciate their products. Their dry ciders are delicious, and they have converted me into a Mead lover! Who knew mead could be dry? Even their sweeter ciders and meads strike the right balance and are not stomach-churning sugar water like most of the other local cideries around. I often go with friends who are beer drinkers and wish they had a few more beer options for them, but their new cocktails have helped round out their offering. The taproom itself could use some updates, but overall, it is clean and inviting. What has left the biggest impression on me is how much the person behind the bar can contribute to the atmosphere. I have been lucky enough on my last few trips to have been waited on by Matt. They have always had good bartenders, but Matt is standout. He is engaging and funny and I constantly have to ask him "What song is this" whenever his playlist is on. Overall, I highly recommend trying Seed + Stone and don't be afraid to try the Mead, it's really quite good!

    Super hip spot at the Hungerford on E Main…read more Stopped in on a first Friday - sampled some cider and mead ... Loved the mead - our cider choices were not the best though. Minimal food options Fun playlist - decent seating Check it out if you like cider and maybe you'll find a favorite
