This is a chill spot with friendly staff, even if the ciders weren't quite my thing. Lost Boy Cider is a very cool spot to hang out, relax, and enjoy something a little different. The staff was super friendly, and the overall vibe was laid-back and inviting. It's definitely a place meant for chilling with friends rather than catching a game. They do have a TV (maybe more than one, I didn't really notice), but the placement and size make it clear that this isn't a sports bar, and that's totally fine. It's more of a hangout venue with its own cool personality. Parking can be a pain, so plan for that ahead of time. That's probably the biggest frustration. As for the ciders, they weren't really for me, but that's just personal taste. I still had a great time, and I plan to return to try more ciders in hopes of finding one I like. It's definitely worth a visit for the atmosphere and the experience. read more

Another win! Even though I'm not a heavy drinker I enjoy sampling the ciders! I sampled the "apple wine" and ended up ordering a cider slushee (first time). I really enjoyed it and would definitely try another one. They also have a shelf of board games, books, and playing cards if you're interested. Pet friendly. It looks like they also have a food truck (Thai) and occasional weekend comedy nights as well. Plenty of seating, couches, and friendly staff! read more

So happy to have found this place! We looked up some spots to listen to live music on a Friday after date night dinner and saw there would be a live band here. We made our way over and were delighted by this vibrant cidery. They have an awesome range of ciders to choose from as well as flight options (or a build your own) to let you try multiple. They also have some wines available if you're not a cider person. There was a food truck out front but we didn't try any since we'd just eaten. It smelled awesome though! We also noticed take out from other places at some tables so you may be able to bring your own food as well. The inside is fun and bright with whimsical decoration. Lots of seating available along with a cozy couch area. There were some classic arcade games too and we had a blast playing pinball! There's also some cool merch like shirts, hats, and stickers to purchase. The live band was great and there was even some space around where they were playing so people could dance. The vibe overall was really laidback and fun. The bartenders were very nice and quick with pouring. The ciders were delicious! I'm sure they rotate the taps, but the raspberry I had was my favorite so grab it if you see it! read more

Had an opportunity to visit Lost Boy twice now to attend their line dancing night! The brewery has seating both inside and outside the building and offers chips as snacks to buy with their ciders and ales. As someone who does not drink Ale, my guests complimented their offerings and were happy with their drinks! They do not offer food; however, usually have a food truck available. read more

I was here for a private party so cannot really judge this bar. Their regular way of doing business is that if you want food, there is a food truck parked out in front. Other than cider, which you can also get in flights, seltzer water or just plain water you get yourself from a dispenser at the end of the bar, I think that's all that's served. It was quite busy from both the regular patrons and the people at the private party. Quite loud and seating is on high top metal stools. read more

I normally like cider, so we tried out this place. - drinks: were 3 stars. We did not like any of the 4 on the flights and we didn't even finish 2 of the 4 drinks and these were their exclusives. - interior is very straightforward, nothing fancy, tall tables and you can see the barrels and some part of the cidery - Food truck is available outside should you need food - 1 rather small tv for that space if you wanted to watch something Unfortunately, I didn't like this place much. read more

This was such a great find! We love breweries, but this was our first cider experience. It was busy and there was a party...but the two bartenders were so quick, friendly and knowledgeable! We had the flights. My husband grabbed one of their popular flights (the pickle was his favorite!) and I created my own. I had pumpkin (the surprise favorite!) wingman (yum!) Piquete (a little too red wine-ish for me) and endless summer (wanted to love this one but turned out to be my least favorite!) So happy we found this place, it reminded me of our favorite brewery back home - laid back and a very chill vibe. read more

Fun bingo, good prices. Nice and calm ambiance both in and outside. I would certainly come back.

Hidden gem for sure! Saw then at the Old Town Alexandria farmers market and wanted to visit their spot. Bartender was super friendly and gave us the low down on all the ciders. Resonably priced and the ciders were really good - lots of options. They even have plain cider for kiddos or those who want an NA option. read more

For a gluten free pal (and for others, too) - this place is perfection. I love the selections of ciders that I can choose from, being GF!! The ambiance is so cute - it's quirky, inclusive, and is a large space with a lot of seating. There's also a lot of parking on site and in the area. I actually came here as they were hosting a cookie decorating event in partnership with another business, and my friend and I had a blast, and enjoyed the space, the cider, and the service. I can't wait to return and try more cider! read more

Great neighborhood bar/brewery with a huge selection of ciders. They have different events going on all week like trivia or food trucks. Their back patio is dog friendly too. All their ciders are definitely some of the best ones Ive had and they do seasonal ones as well. Really friendly bartenders and owners. read more

I'm almost never in Alexandria, but I'd come back here! An old friend who lives in the area suggested this place for a meetup and it was a good spot. The space is welcoming, with lots of tables both inside and outside. My friend recommended it because it is a place that is both kid and dog friendly; I saw several folks with dogs or small children there (I brought my two kids) There is an extensive selection of ciders. On the whole, they lean towards dry (which I like), but I saw they have some sweet ice ciders too. You can get a full pour or, if you're indecisive like me, get a flight. They have some ready flights or you can design your own. Prices are decent and the service is friendly. I appreciated my one bartender's patience in answering my questions. Very little food on site, but they usually have a food truck rotation - there was a place there when I went. Overall, not bad. read more

As this place is a cidery, does not serve food but they always have food trucks outside. Lost Boy always has the best people at the bar, so friendly so knowledgeable. I loved each time I visited this area and they always have something new to try. Sometimes it's Trivia/Bingo/Singing/Dancing? The Venue is very dog friendly. If the space was a bit larger, I think would be ideal. It's got huge ceilings but the bar makes lining up kinda awkward for seating area when it gets busy. I don't blame the place though cause that's not something to be able to change. read more

This was my first visit to Lost Boy Cider. Lost Boy Cider was hosting a night market with a permanent jewelry bar, tattoos, tarot reading and vintage clothing. There were plenty of people there checking the event out. They brew their own ciders and have plenty to choose from. There were only two people behind the bar so it took a little bit to get the drinks. I kind of wished they had a food truck there. I was surprised by the number of people who were waiting to get their piercings. This took the longest amount of time. There are plenty of events happening here so I would keep checking their social media to find an event that works for you. read more

What an unexpected surprise! They brew their own ciders and what unique flavors too! Not your typical sugary ciders. In fact their Bloody Mary cider was as tasty as the tomato versions I have had. Service was quick and they did a great job of explaining things. They have ample seating and a funky brewery feel. Definitely try the flights if you aren't sure about what you want or are just curious about their many different options. read more

We came here on a day that they had a dog day event. The ciders and frozen drinks are pretty good. They had some good seating inside as well as some picnic tables outside for overflow. The service here was great for what they had during the event but still had a decent line due to having a dog event. Still enjoyable! read more

Great spot. Went here with some friends after doing some candle making nearby. Plenty of parking on site and on the street nearby. I got a flight plus a 2oz pour. There was a food truck on site as the place doesn't really sell food. Go to the bar to order your drinks, grab a table inside or out, drink up and have fun. read more

Vibe and service is great. I really liked it there. The ciders, though, were a big disappointment. The jalapeño one had a weird aftertaste, and the rest tasted like watered down beer or rosé with vinegar mixed in. I don't love sweet ciders but these were much too dry and bland for me. I wanted to like this place but I wouldn't come back. HOWEVER if (very) dry ciders is your thing then I highly recommend because it's so chill and everyone is very nice. read more

Had a lot of fun coming here for my first time to celebrate Galentines Day. They had about 7 vendors. You can bring your own food or partake food trucks that they have scheduled. Good space inside to drink, they have uncovered outside space but only if the weather is good since there are no tents or heaters. Parking is limited but I was able to find parking on the street. Many of the parking spaces are reserved for the gym behind them. I enjoyed picking flavors and creating a flight. The music was nice, the bartenders were friendly and it was a nice laid back vibe. I look forward to coming back. read more

We stopped by this cidery while in the area and at the recommendation of others. It located in a giant converted warehouse off of Eisenhower, just outside the main part of Old Town. There is plenty of free parking in the lots and street nearby. This is one of the few exclusively hard cider places in the area so I was very excited to try all the different flavors brewed onsite. There was a private event beginning at 5 pm so we weren't able to stay for long. There is a large indoor space with seating that opens to the outdoor patio. We ended up just sitting at one of the indoor tables since it was closing soon. I like that they have taster sizes as well larger sizes so we could mix and match. We ordered two sets of tasters (8 different ciders total) at the bar and still did not try them all. The service was quick and they showed us what each of the tasters were. The ciders were crisp, tart and unique with flavors like sake, starfruit, raspberry, habanero and plum. These weren't the sweet type of ciders which I appreciated. Will definitely like to return when we aren't rushed to leave for the private event. read more

Lost Boy Cider - Flights - Cideries Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Stopped in at Lost Boy for a drink pre dinner while we were visiting the area. I couldn't decide on just one so opted for Flight #2. Husband ordered a tulip of the Juicy. We both loved that the ciders were dry and not sweet at all but had tons of flavor. My favorite of Flight 2 was the Daydreamer, an apricot cider. The cider seemed a bit pricy but I suppose most cider is due to all the fruit they use. I wish I could have tried more but at 6.9% I was done! The Pixie Dust in particular looked yummy! The venue was big and open and there was plenty of outdoor seating. I would definitely go back if in the area again. read more

Alas all dry ciders, none sweet so we had sparkling apple juice. Which was delicious by the way!!! The bar was nice and bar tenders helpful. A good size crowd for early on a week night. What brought us was wanting to eat from the food truck outside ( Puerto Rican food, yummy). Plenty of seating inside and picnic tables with umbrellas outside. Glad we found this place and will be back. Free Parking near by. read more

The idea of the cidery is cool but the ciders weren't that great in my opinion. Too sweet or sour. Too pungent. Etc.

Well it definitely doesn't replace the trusted cold beer or your favorite brewery but there is charm to be found here. If you're a fan of white wine you will enjoy what they have to offer, as that is the best way I can describe the taste. The staff was kind and let us sample multiple ciders before making a decision. Due to its uniqueness, I would recommend a try. read more

Lost Boy Cider - Flight #3 - Cideries Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I want to like this place more than I do, but even still there are some really positive atmosphere vibes. Pros: Doggies allowed There is a play area in the back for kids. This is a godsend for those of us with kids who also want to drink (sometimes those two are related) Lots of options in drink I got their regular non-alcoholic cider for my daughter and had some - it's really good. Cons: Very limited days open Parking spots are kind of tight Honestly? The ciders are hit or miss. Some of them are pretty good (I think their signature comeback kid is the best one) but some of them I didn't want to finish. Not really a pro or con in my opinion, but they don't serve their own food. There is usually a food truck outside, and you can bring whatever of your own food that you want. Just a heads up for people who come hungry. read more

Great cidery but wished that they had food available near them. Indoor and outdoor seating Easy walk to Metro. read more

Lost Boy Cider - Cider flights - Cideries Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I'm not a cider person, but this place changed my mind on that. Their ciders aren't typically super sweet. We got a flight just so that we could try a wide variety of choices and I thought it was just a bit overpriced. A flight for $16 that comes with four pours? Breweries typically do 5 pours for less or about the same price, but I'm not sure if it's just different for ciders. We got flight #2, which had the Thunderbold, Spicoli, Porch Sipper, and Pumpkin Head. My personal favorite was the Pumpkin Head. If you like fall and all things seasoned pumpkin spice and nice, then definitely try that one. They had a good amount of board games for you to play if you come with a group of friends and there is also ample seating! Overall, it's a super chill place and I'd recommend to anyone in the area! read more

I finally managed to visit Lost Boy Cider for a cider tasting one rainy Sunday afternoon. The cider is located in an industrial style building. When I walked in - I noted the place is very popular - there were a lot of folks inside. Also of note, apparently Lost Boy is kid and dog friendly. There were a lot of kids running around and shrieking loudly I don't know if it is always like this - but if you are looking for a quieter, more intimate cider setting - your mileage may vary here. I ordered two tasting flights of ciders - which ultimately included the following ciders: Comeback Kid (6.9% ABV) (4 stars on Untappd) Wing Man (6.9% ABV) (2 stars on Untappd) Spicoli (6.9% ABV) (3.75 stars on Untappd) Hazy Hopped (6.9% ABV) (3.25 stars on Untappd) Amelia (6.9% ABV) (2 stars on Untappd) Blackberry Rhubarb (6.9% ABV) (3 stars on Untappd) Pixie Dust (6.9% ABV) (2 stars on Untappd) Bottle Rocket (6.9% ABV) (2.7 stars on Untappd) Overall, a mixed bag for me. In hindsight, overall, their ciders that are crisp, dry, and tart are my favorites. I was not a fan of their sweet ciders. The Comeback Kid and Spicoli were by far my favorite of the ciders I tasted. Next time when I come back, I will restrict my tasting flight to the dryer, crisper, ciders. Cool venue! #LostBoyCider read more

You know how they say all who wonder are not lost????? Lost Boy has been on my radar for some time now so I'd glad I finally made it here!! If you are lost when it vibes to cider you should find yourself here immediately!!! Cider choices are plentiful and you have two flights to chose from and of course singles and full glasses. If you are really undecided and are feeling adventurous you can ask them to surprise you!! The young lady who assisted us what great. We opted for one flight the Lost Boy way and one that was a complete surprise! All the ciders were great as you could taste the fruitiness in each one.. my favs were Amelia and the Pixie Dust!! Not just because of the stunning color but the flavor palette full bodied and left you wanting more!! Bottle Rocket was a surprise hitter because it was calm and smooth at first but end the it was sassy and spicy on the finish. As if these are not plenty of reasons to wander and explore Lost Boy, a pour is a full pour, to the rim pour, don't spill it on your way to your seat pour!!! While they have no food out their own onsite they do have a healthy rotation of food trucks and you can bring your own food as well! The explorer in you can get lost and found and lost again over and over again here at Lost Boy Cider!!! read more

If you have never been to Lost Boys Cider, put it on your list of places to go. In fact, if you like Cider, drop everything and go now. This is my new favorite spot in Alexandria. I walked in expecting 2 maybe 3 flavors of Cider, but no. There were like 12 or more flavors to choose from including a Cider slushie! They brew the cider in house (ask to take a tour!) So everything is fresh and delicious. I recommend the Amelia (BlackBerry and lavender.) Most of their cider is dry with little to no sugar...just the way I like it for ultimate deliciousness without the sugar headache. In addition to the ciders, the place is adorable. It has a very warehouse outside/inside vibe. There are picnic tables and bean bags everywhere. It just has a great community vibe that is unpretentious and welcoming. Love this place. read more

I decided to stop in to Lost Boy Cider since it is so close to where I live. It had a really cool, hipster vibe and I enjoyed the variety of different ciders. My favorite was little prince.

Incredible cider selection. Homey atmosphere. The cutest dogs in the world. Friendly staff who are accessible and kind but not stuck up. It's the type of service where you know they appreciate you being there, whether a regular or a first timer. A favorite spot of ours for sure (except on Trivia nights when we inevitably lose. We blame the great cider). read more

Lost Boy Cider is one of the few cideries in the DC area. It's located in an old warehouse in Alexandria close to a kids play zone and other businesses. The space itself is beautiful. Their logo is painted on the front so you can't miss it. Inside, there's plenty of space for the hanging plants and tall wooden tables. There's a bar where you order or do tastings. Once you order your drink (I recommend the cider slushy), you can grab a table. They are new so their events will expand, but they hope to offer music, games, etc. The cider is made from apples in the region and is crisp and tasty! read more

Lost Boy Cider is a unique craft cider house that brings an authentic take on hard cider. I have to admit that at first I was a little befuddled in my visit to this venue, because my knowledge hard cider basically extends Magners Irish Cider. However, I soon learned that there are many forms of cider, and Lost Boy produces something known as farm cider, a beverage that is lighter and with less of a bite than Magners. Here you'll find ciders infused with such flavors as pineapple and pomegranate. They even have a hop laced cider that is somewhat reminiscent of an IPA. However, for me, the clear winner was the Apple Cider Slushee, a drink that is everything I wish 7-11 could be. This drink will certainly be my go to on my next visit. Now, to be fair, Lost Boy Cider is going through some first week growing pains, but I'm certain those will be worked out in no time. The key point here is that they offer a unique cider experience with authentic recipes that are more akin to the way Cider was produced back in Colonial times. read more

This place does not disappoint and has a different concept that brings a breath of fresh air to the Northern Virginia area. I have visited a few times to savor the deliciousness of cider variety but also, the staff is very welcoming and attentive. The environment is cozy, with its modern vibe and comfort, you will most likely appreciate gathering your friends and spending some time here while you refresh with some goodness (Cider). A dog, kids, family friendly place. A mix of food trucks during the weeks makes for an even awesome time in just one place but outside food is also welcomed. I suggest you try the Spicoli and Comeback kid, my two favorite so far, but all others are just as delicious. I've tasted them all so far! See you soon at the cidery! read more

I had mixed feelings during my first visit to Lost Boy Cider. A couple of first impressions about the atmosphere. We visited on an extremely hot day - so hot that our cider flight got warm after just a few sips. They leave the giant garage door open and despite the large fan, the room was sweltering. Also, when we walked in, we were not expecting to be almost run into by children. Kids at a cidery? Strange. I get that parents need a drink every once in a while (I'm a parent, too) but why not leave the kids at home? Anyway - now more about the cider. We weren't thrilled with any of the flavors we had in the flight. If I had to pick a favorite it would be the Slasher with raspberries. The spicoli with pineapple was tasty too. But, they were all a bit dry for my taste. They are very generous with their pours on the flights, so if you like the cider, you'll be happy! Not sure we'll be back... maybe in the fall when it's more cool outside. read more
