A Boise must-visit! I'm a huge fan of ciders and try to sample local offerings on any trip to a new city. Meriwether quickly became one of my favorites in the nation. Their black currant cider is top tier, but I love that they even offer ciders not made in-house. With so many options to choose from, I was able to try a variety through a reasonably priced flight ($13). The bartender was very nice, outgoing, and helped me decide on the best additions based on my taste preferences. Inside has plenty of seating: at the bar, low tables on the first floor, and even an upstairs area.
Obsessed with this spot! Our bartender was friendly and helpful with cider suggestions, the cider itself was great, and it's in a fun area to explore downtown Boise. The pumpkin cider was my favorite, definitely recommend it if it sticks around after Fall.
My husband and I truly enjoyed the ciders at this cider house. The atmosphere was casual and the workers are very friendly. We loved the ciders. Some of our favorite included apricot sage, snakebites, black currant crush, and Bannock Street Crush. We didn't quite like "Uncharted". It didn't quite take us in the journey that we were expecting. However, everything else was top tier. I would highly recommend coming here for a cider flight. The cider flight was affordable at $13 for 5 small glasses.
If I lived in Boise, I would come here all the time! My husband and I were in town visiting for the weekend. I loooove cider and could not pass this place up! The guy working was super friendly. He gave us the rundown of all the cider options--20 to choose from! 11 are made by Meriwether, they are the taps with the red handles on top. He had great recommendations and feedback to help us make our choices. We had to do a flight to try several of the options. They have cool wooden flight boards that come with little icons by each slot to designate which glass goes with which cider written on your card. I tried 4 Meriwether ciders: Strong Arm, Black Currant, Bannock Street Buzz, and Rosé. Plus one from a different cider place which was the Strawberry Mojito. All of them were delicious! My favorites were Strong Arm (a classic semi sweet cider) and Black Currant (perfect for warmer weather and spring vibes). My husband's favorite was the Winter Warmer which a bourbon barrel aged cider. We were also big fans of Bannock Street Buzz which had notes of cinnamon and would be great around the holidays. We enjoyed having our flights outside on the patio on a warm spring day. We ended up buying a four-pack before we left! I will definitely return next time I'm in Boise!
What a great surprise to walk in on a night with wonderful live music and discounts on growlers! Such a pleasant surprise, very friendly bartender and other patrons. Small place but clean and comfortable. Did not have food but there was a food truck at another business down the hall, some people got food from them and brought it over. Dog are allowed. Cinders are wonderful. The strawberry cream was delicious as was the all the ciders on a flight. Took home a growler of Speakeasy, we will be enjoying that on Saturday afternoon!
Perfect for anyone who loves cider! They had a ton of flavors - even a hot cider which was interesting. No food though so don't expect to eat there. It's a little smaller but they have extra seating upstairs. We went for trivia night on Tuesday and it was super fun! The host was funny and bartender was really nice! Definitely a laid back atmosphere and great to go to hangout and talk with friends.
Was in town and wandering around and stopped at this Cidery- no regrets! Locally owned and made I enjoyed my time at Meriwether and have since recommended it to anyone passing through Boise for great hospitality and good cider. I came in the evening before trivia night (couldn't stay but seems fun!) and was going to try some mulled cider- when one the owner/bartender saw I wasn't a fan was nice enough to offer me other things to drink- which made me appreciate this establishment even more. I tried the fruity flight which for $12 and generous pours was a great way to go! It had in house brews and also two selections outside the brewery which I appreciate. I loved the drinks here so much I bought two bottle to take back with me! I'm officially a plan and hope to come back soon- keep up the great work!
On a quiet stroll in downtown on a Sunday afternoon, and my friend and I both stopped at the corner and said "Do you wanna grab a drink?" at the SAME TIME. We knew it was time to try Meriwether. Upon entry the space is clean, bright & even has an upstairs for more space. Andrew was very informative and kind. (and he had BEAUTIFUL HAIR). He answered our questions and explained that even the "out of town" ciders were from Corvallis - so still pretty local. I was hooked. I tried the Bourbon Peach and YUM!!!!!! "Juice from hand-picked Washington State peaches is married with the richness of Dry Fly bourbon barrels to give this cider a deep vanilla and plum character. This creates the perfect balance of sweet, ripe peaches and tartness of green apples. A touch of oak tannin finishes this cider off perfectly." If that doesn't want to make you go right now I don't know what will. Sit outside in their expanded area and enjoy! This place is doin' it right! We will be back!
Had a great time here enjoying ciders with my boyfriend. He really enjoyed the pineapple habanero cider and he is not generally a fan of ciders. They had a fun music bingo game going on, which gave us something to do while we relaxed and enjoyed our ciders. The bartender was really nice and a fellow Caamp fan!
TLDR solid cider bar. Would come back again. Came here on a Friday afternoon with no issues finding street parking. Located downtown right across the street from 10 Barrel Brewing if you in the mood for brewery hopping. Place felt a little cramped but there was plenty of seating indoors, outdoors, and upstairs. Lots of window seats! The flights and ciders are all well-priced and tasted delicious. My favorite was probably the Meriwether Cider Strong Arm and BlackBerry Boom. The Hop Shot was interesting because it actually tasted pretty sweet. They provide you with a flight card to indicate which cider is which; overall a really cute presentation. Water station was available in the back. I also saw some bigger bottles available to take to-go. My only complaint is that there is only one bathroom stall lol. I also kinda wish they had games or something for guests to play. But all in all this is a solid cidery and I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area!
I saw this quaint little cider house and just kept on a walkin'. Then I thought, why could I be missing? So I turned around and checked out the menu. I was intrigued by the large selection of fruit coders, hopped ciders, and other local beverages. I chose the blackberry cider. It was just as I expected. It had a pleasant tartness while carrying the blackberry flavors through. Not to acidic or carbonated. Very drinkable and smooth. I made a wise decision for a young padewan! The establishment is small yet cozy. They have patio seating or open air window seating so you can enjoy both the weather and your beverage of choice. Try it, you'll not regret it.
I stopped into Meriwether Cider to actually hit up Primal Coffee. I love checking out all the local coffee joints downtown. And this one happens to be collabing with Meriwether Cider. What a dope 2 for 1 spot! My review isn't for the ciders unfortunately. I don't drink. But my review is on the location and customer service. I want to say thank you to the sweet gal that was working last Saturday. I had the longest flight home from Boston arriving in town at 2 a.m. Like an idiot, I booked a client not even 8 hours after arriving home. Trying to function on severe jet lag is not recommended. I needed a heavily caffeinated beverage so made my way in. I didn't realize that the coffee shop hours are from 8 to 12 after starting this review. I probably came in after 1. The sweet bartender/barista made me an iced americano when she didn't have to. Technically, it was past business hours. She could have turned me down. The iced americano she made was soooooooo good! Honestly, a top 5 iced americano I have had in town. It's amazing how many coffee joints can't deliver a good americano but she did! The espresso wasn't watered down. My drink was balanced with the bitterness of the coffee, sweet from the sugar free vanilla and had the right amount of cream. She pushed out the most perfect drink. I appreciate her so much! Now that I know Primal Coffee is from 8 to 12, I'll make sure that I stop in those hours. This joint is fun. The walls are vibrant, prettily decorated with local talent. The vibe inside and out is chill. Looking forward to coming back soon for another iced americano. Or a flight of ciders if I'm feeling daring! Either way, it's going to be great! read more

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for a cider flight- which is basically a tasting of 5 ciders. The bar tender was super friendly, the place was clean and we enjoyed the variety of music that was playing. Also of note are the " cards " on the tables. Ours were from trivial pursuit and we had fun quizzing each other while enjoying our tasting. Note: if you are there when the seasonal Slushy is available l- I highly recommend! read more

Have you not stopped into Meriwether yet??? Why not??? This locally owned cidery is definitely my favorite in the Valley! They are continuously blowing me away with their new innovative concoctions!! Bring your taste buds here...they will thank you! Some of my favs are...Into The Woods, Normandy, Cranberry, Pineapple Habanero, Blackberry Boom just to name a few. Come do a flight so you can sample all the yummy flavors! The atmosphere is amazing(in both locations), the staff is always friendly and they know EVERYTHING cider. I also like how they have other ciders on tap as well from Washington and Oregon to try. GET HERE IMMEDIATELY!!!! :) read more

Excellent cider selections! Can on a Sunday afternoon and this place was pretty popular. Tried 2 custom flights and was impressed with the quality and variety of ciders. Some of my favorites are: Tieton cider works: cherry notes, not too sweet and not too sour. Just right! Grumpy scrumpy: very Apple forward, also not too sweet. I can't taste the alcohol so it could get dangerous ;) Longdrop cider vanilla honey: tastes exactly like it sounds, very strong vanilla and honey flavors. Very good for a dessert cider. Cranberry Crosscut: well balanced between tart and sweet, ruby red color, easy drinking I would highly recommend this place! read more

I had the best cider I've ever tasted during a visit to this place. I decided to do the flight and glad I did as I was able to try several of their many different ciders(I tried the dry ciders, my friend tried the sweet). I was very impressed with all; however, the perry cider (could be spelling wrong) was AMAZING! The gal serving us was super knowledgeable and very friendly. The place itself was inviting and comfortable. My only complaint is I wanted to purchase a zipper hoodie sooooo bad and they did not have any at this location and the main location where I could was closed that day, I'm from out of town so I left empty handed otherwise i would proudly be rocking my Meriwether hoodie in San Diego! Check it out!!!! read more

My husband and I went to Meriwether Cider after walking around the Capitol Marketplace and it was the perfect stop over for a treat of sorts. We had great service, the cider was all delicious, and the location had fun vibes with Trivia Pursuit games laying around to quiz who you are with. I had the Meriwether specific flight and I had a healthy pour of all the options. I don't think I had a favorite Cider because they were all so delicious and each had a unique taste. This is a place I will be going again and will bring guests when visiting. I am looking forward to the weather being a bit nicer to sit on the patio and I look forward to checking out the upstairs seating next time I am there. Also, you can have LemonTree food delivered on location, which is a pretty cool collaboration. read more
