    Flight of cider
    Jordyn J.

    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.

    Ciders on tap. Red handled ones are made in house!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    My flight of ciders! Note the detail of the symbols to signify what you're drinking!

    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!

    Music bingo!

    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!

    YUM

    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!

    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.

    Normandy....bourbon barrel-aged cider!!! Do it!!!!
    Mandi A.

    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!!!! :)

    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!

    I've been coming every week as my "end of the week treat" and it's something I very much look…read moreforward to. I've only ever seen the owner, Kevin bartending. He is so friendly and gives great recommendations. He always ask's my style preference and it's usually an IPA of some sort. He has the largest selection of craft beer from all over that I've seen in Boise and surrounding areas. I'm sure he'll have something you'll enjoy. Food doesn't disappoint either. I've only ever seen an older gentleman in the kitchen and he surely knows what he is doing. Last week, I had the Habanero Bacon Grilled Cheese and it was AMAZING and I've thought about it all week. Sports are on the TV's, he also has games that you can play at your table. It's a super chill place. I better get ready for the gym, so I can get my "weekly treat."

    A tale of who experiences. If you're driven to seek a diverse selection of beers, this is…read moreexcellent. The food though - you need to know they slashed the menu. It's down to 6 appetizers, 4 burgers, and 2 salads to choose from. Disappointed at that surprise as I was going there primarily for dinner and to have a beer. Cubano, French Dip, all gone. Many times when a restaurant cuts their menu, they can do better quality control. Not the case here - 3 stars. Twisted, Sweet & Smoky Burger was okay. Roasted red pepper had a nice sweet balance to the thick cut smoked bacon. Unfortunately, bacon very dry/overcooked so it was chewy like an oversized bacon bit. And I guess I'm generally not a fan of frozen Wagyu patties. They aren't juicy and tend to be chewy. So, too much dry and chewy in the burger. I tried a few of my friend's fries, and kind of the same thing. Very dry, chewy, and tough. Way too much garlic salt. I can't tell if they were freezer burned or they had been sitting above a fryer thawing for a while before they were dropped for the order. Glad I didn't order them. For a Friday at 6pm, seemed understaffed but the front of house employee was friendly despite running around like crazy. They do offer outside seating, bar seating, high tables, and regular tables, which is a nice blend of options. If all I wanted was a beer and a Bavarian Pretzel, this is a great place to go.
