    Wow, this place has 23 different flavors of ciders to try, so there's something for everyone! My friend and I stopped in today and were blown away by the number of options. They offer $2 tastings and you can order as many as you like. We each selected 4 different ciders to try and really enjoyed them all. I'm typically not a cider drinker as I find most to be too dry for my liking, but the semi-sweet flavors really hit the spot for me. I tried the Slopeside (blackberry pear), Virginia Crush (orange vanilla), Red Velvet (vanilla raspberry) and Apple Pie and all were fantastic. This is a cute little dog friendly place with indoor and outdoor seating. Now that I have found ciders that I like, I'll definitely be back!

    I had no idea of the variety in ciders. There was chocolate cider, granny cider, gingerbread cider, and many more. The place was packed when we arrived. We had heard great things about Coyote Hole Ciderworks and looked forward to trying the many varieties of cider. Some were better than others. I really liked their giant, fresh, warm pretzels. The nacho cheese dip was delicious. And, last, but certainly not least....the cider flavored donuts were fabulous. They were soft, warm, sweet, and scrumptious! You get your cider flight and you get a buzzer, for when your food is ready. The picnic tables were not the most comfortable, so next time, we will look for the tables and chairs. There is live music on occasion. The place is cute and our cider assistant was very sweet and friendly. We would definitely return, if we were in the area. Thanks Mike, for the recommendation.

    I am local but I continue to come to this place. So many variations of cider to choose from. If you can't find one, well I don't know . They have good service and even though it gets busy, I've never had anyone be short or rude. Several seating choices to code from outside in the sun, under the umbrellas or even inside. The food menu does not disappoint either. They even have breakfast !!!

    Ciders: 3 stars Atmosphere: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Me and my friend did a tasting of all of their ciders. You can get these fantastic little taster cups for about 2 bucks a piece, and they have the whole set up for these little square metal trays with laminated cards that list out the somewhat insane amount of ciders they carry. There were 22 ciders on that tray, and then 2 specialty ciders they had outside of their normal offerings, so we tried in total 24 ciders lol. I did not drive home - keys were handed immediately after the tasting to a friend who wasn't drinking. I mean... I LOVE the variety. Don't get me wrong. But after tasting a good lot of them, it just begs the idea that they should probably focus on making a smaller selection of excellent ciders than a surprisingly large selection of ciders that are a bit sub par. My favorite amongst all of the ciders was a cider called Santa's Cookies I believe. There a couple of other somewhat enjoyable ciders... but most unfortunately tasted a bit too watery for my liking. That said, they do have wines available and I could easily see myself going back and indulging in some wine while enjoying the expansive outdoor patio that is lined with firepits. You pay to get the firepit going and then can purchase more wood after the fire dies down. It's very reasonably priced. The service was also super great. The woman who helped us was kind as kind could be. A huge shout out to the giant soft pretzel I got too. The perfect pairing in my opinion for pretty much any alcohol. I gave the business 4 stars because I would go back - no question. Yes... I wasn't a huge fan of most of the ciders... but I was a fan of a few. Also, they have other drinking options as well and service and food (my pretzel) was stellar. Sitting around a firepit and chatting with friends on a beautiful day while tasting ciders was my idea of a perfect Saturday. We even made little judging sheets and rated the ciders 1-5 stars as we went through the more than 2 dozen we tried. I absolutely loved my visit, and the ciders not being to my taste could just be a bit of personal preference. In fact, one of my friends who came ended up taking home 2 6-packs of cider, so I know for her it definitely was.

    A great cidery in Lake Anne, that also sports some good food, oversized games outside, and let us bring our dog. We tried the Sister Sangria (not a winner), the Green Apple, the Oma Smith, and the Coyote HPA (a hopped cider), ultimately leaving with 4-packs of the Coyote HPA and the Oma Smith. Our family enjoyed the flatbread pizza, wings and grilled cheese as well. If it was not so darn hot, we would have hung out a lot longer outside and played some giant Jenga and Connect 4, but maybe next time.

    Such a cool place! We were out in the area for a motorcycle rally and this proved to be a fun ride out. The place is packed with options for outdoor seating, games, and indoor seating as well. We went early in the day and we had the place basically to ourselves which was nice. We could see how on a nice weekend it would get packed. We tried an assortment of ciders and they were all delicious. We chowed down on the amazing pretzel which is a must have and shareable. The donuts were a delight as well!

    They have creative and fun flavors. Even though not all of them were quite my taste, I still enjoyed the experience. It's a little expensive for what you get, though.

    Coyote Hole Craft Beverages is a stand out at Lake Anna. Excellent variety of fresh ciders and now expanding to wee Mineral Minerals Brewing they have a balanced offering of cider, local wines and creating some exciting new brewskis! The kitchen is offering a nice assortment of flat Breads, salads, subs and pizza with brunch on Saturday & Sundays. Friendly crew, ample seating inside and out, an events room and an assortment of local talent, karaoke, line dance, and entertainment!. Lots to enjoy!

    My first visit to Coyote Hole Ciderworks was late on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered a tasting flight of all their ciders - 9 in all for that day: Roasted (6.5% ABV) (3.25 stars on Untappd) Apparition (6.9% ABV) (2.75 stars on Untappd) Bel-Hole (6.5% ABV) (3.25 stars on Untappd) Oma Smith's (6.9% ABV) (4 stars on Untappd) Red Velvet (6.5% ABV) (2.25 stars on Untappd) HPA (6.9% ABV) (2 stars on Untappd) Ciderita (5.4% ABV) (2 stars on Untappd) Sangria (5.6% ABV) (2 stars on Untappd) Sister Sangria (5.6% ABV) (2.25 stars on Untappd) In general, across the board, I found most of the ciders at Coyote Hole - to be too sweet for my palate. I prefer crisper, dryer ciders. My absolute favorite though - was the Oma Smith's cider. I really felt like the Apples in this cider were the star - and it was not as sweet as the others. The ambiance of Coyote Hole Ciderworks is really cool. I like the venue - and the folks were super nice. I expect to come back and try the ciders again - next time - with a group of friends, as well as try out the food! #CoyoteHoleCiderworks

    When we're at Lake Anna, we love to stop by for food and drinks outdoors +/- trivia. The soft pretzel was a big hit; the nachos comes with a LOT of chips. Their ciders are so creative and diverse that you're sure to find a flavor or two that speak to you and every drinker on your gift list. Personally, I like the Oma Smith's green apple cider and the Cider Margarita. I don't recommend trying to drink an entire flight by yourself, however, as I and multiple family members have failed at that. Better to get a flight to share with 2-4 people and then take home a couple cans of everybody's favorite(s).

    Great space!

    Extremely disappointing ending to what should have been a very special day…read more My husband and I were celebrating our 60th birthdays, and our daughter planned a surprise gathering for us at Cooling Pond. We had absolutely no idea anything was planned. We walked in and were completely surprised to see our family and friends waiting for us. It meant so much to us, and we were having a wonderful afternoon. Our group was small and everyone was purchasing drinks and supporting the food truck. For approximately the first two hours, we essentially had the indoor space to ourselves. Even later in the afternoon, there were only a few other groups and plenty of open tables and available space. From what I personally observed, no one was waiting for a table and our group was not lingering or preventing other paying customers from having somewhere to sit. That is why I was so confused when things suddenly changed toward the end of our celebration. Our tables began being cleared even though members of our group were still there, still drinking purchased beverages, and still paying customers. Personal decorations and belongings were being moved, koozies were removed from glasses, and unfinished drinks were being cleared. Things then became extremely uncomfortable between Lori Pope, the co-owner/event coordinator, and our daughter. I did not personally witness every moment of their interaction, so I will only speak to what I know. I saw how upset our daughter and family became, and several relatives who were present told me they witnessed Lori repeatedly aggressively poking/touching our daughter during the confrontation. What had been such a happy celebration ended with everyone quickly gathering our belongings and leaving because we no longer felt welcome. Only afterward did I learn that our daughter had contacted Cooling Pond months in advance, spoken directly with co-owner John about the gathering, and followed up in writing. Lori then messaged me directly afterward, stating that she hadn't known about our gathering and describing what happened between herself and John as a "total miscommunication." Whatever communication problem occurred between the owners was internal to their business. It should never have resulted in our family of paying customers being treated this way. To make the ending even more upsetting, two personal commemorative glasses from our birthday celebration were missing after our hurried departure. We contacted the brewery afterward hoping they would be found and saved for us. My husband and I live locally and had enjoyed Cooling Pond before, which makes this particularly disappointing. We weren't taking over a crowded establishment or occupying space other customers needed. We were a small group celebrating, purchasing food and drinks, and enjoying time together in a venue that had plenty of available space. I am incredibly thankful to our daughter and everyone who came to surprise us. They made our 60th birthdays very special despite how the afternoon ended. Unfortunately, after this experience, my husband and I do not plan to return. As local customers, there are too many other businesses we can support where our family will hopefully feel welcomed, appreciated, and treated with respect.

This was a fabulous evening, arriving at around 5:30 pm to a packed parking lot but the inside was not at all busy. A few folks at their dart boards but most people were outside for "Music Bingo" and that gave us choices to be comfortable. David at the bar was a delight, taking and filling orders. Mrs. K. and I chose our drinks and meals. I very much enjoyed my Very Italian Pilsner and later the Lemicky Light Lager. We dove into a Cowboy Bill Burger, onion rings, cheese curds and perfectly seasoned fries. It was all the food groups and delicious. I'd say my only complaint is that they closed this evening at 8. If they were open until 9, I would have stayed longer and had another beer. Still, it was a lovely time and an easy five star review. [Review 1106 of 2026 - 1555 in Virginia - 26285 overall]

I really would recommend a non-ipa beer "Chesterfield Secret Voyage", which has a high alcohol content. It was a nice smooth drinking malty brew! The staff at the counter were friendly and knowledgeable. We tried several sandwiches. Enjoyed the fried Chicken sandwiches which came with a side. We got the onion rings. Each sandwich was $13 which we felt was a bit overpriced but the food was good. The hot dog is $8 plus $1.50 for chili and cheese plus another $.50 for a tiny sprinkle of onions. The bun was hard and broken. Wife felt that she should have returned it and was way overpriced. The inside beer area was clean and roomy but very loud. They have a few arcade games and the kids were screaming.

It took about 15-20 mins for the bartender to get to us, she did acknowledge us before then tho. They should probably have 2 bartenders on weekends; one on well and the other serving guests. Eventually we were able to give our orders. I ordered a blueberry basil martini with vodka, my husband got a pineapple ginger drink (I think). My drink was ok, the basil was over powering tho. My husband liked his. For an appetizer I ordered the sausage lentil soup, it was really amazing. The flavor was savory and the sausage was minced so you didn't have any huge pieces. For dinner I had the saffron chicken ragu. I enjoyed this pasta. The pasta isn't home made but you can tell it's fresh (not dried out before cooking); It reminded me of a cheesy spaghetti, the chicken is minced as well so it's not like chopped/sliced chicken breast. My husband ordered the summer pasta. I liked that one as well. It had whole garlic Cloves, which I love garlic, and a fresh light flavor to it.
