Outside seating ambiance
Gina B.

As soon as we entered the door, we were greeted by a few people who asked if we were interested in wine or cider. We said, "cider!" but I think it's cool that this space is shared with other tasting rooms. The outdoor seating was lovely and shaded, big plus for sunny days. The server was absolutely awesome. She did a fantastic job of being welcoming, personable, and explaining everything on the menu. There were ciders and meads to choose from. Also, on the back of the menu there were ciders that were more like wines, which are pricier in general so the server mentioned that the cost for the tasting of those would be the same, but you'll get less in each glass. Understandable. Some of the flavors were so unique! I was surprised at the Asian inspired influence in ingredients, such as winter melon and szechuan peppercorn. I'd never seen those before in ciders. We got two tasting flights- a mixture of all three sections of the menu. My favorite was the banana mead (which was sweeter than most of our other tastings, and I don't usually like things that sweet but man, it was good). My least favorite was the plum cider. I guess it wasn't plummy enough and a bit too sour for me. The winter melon didn't quite taste melon-y enough either, and the espresso mocha mead was such a crazy idea I had to try it. It was strangely good but didn't quite work for me with the combo of mead and coffee flavors. Glad I tried it though! Even though I didn't love all the ciders I tasted, this was such a pleasant experience. Oh yeah, they even gave us two macarons with our tasting! I had a great time, and there are so many other flavors I missed out on. I would love to come back and try more!

This place flies too under the radar from what I can tell. Out of all the ciders I've tried in Seattle, this place easily has the most unique and exotic ones you can try. Some highlights include the Hibiscus Rose Julep, La Ma and the Yan Wo. The main thing that really stands out about the ciders here really is the freshness of the flavors. When you get a pineapple flavor cider, it feels like you're biting into a pineapple. When you get a cider fermented in a wine barrel it really blends the cider perfectly with the flavors of wine. The selection rotates out pretty regularly with not many flagships. You're bound to find something new every time you come in. To add to the quirks even more they even have a secret cider tap where the flavor of it is a mystery due to no labels being present on the barrel. So when it changes you really don't know what you're getting. No food is offered here but luckily you have Pick Quick Right in front to grab a bite. Other thing to mention is the hours are EXTREMELY limited here. You only have from 4-7pm on Friday and 2-7pm on Sat. All other days require a reservation to sample. They do also host events regularly so keep an eye out for those too. Overall, this is an extremely small humble brewery that's worth the effort to attend. The service here has always been top notch and I hope they're able to succeed in the future.

I'd stumbled upon Republic of Cider but found several of their cider flavours intriguing. First cidery I've seen that offers a winter melon cider. They're located in the same facility as Fall Line Winery and T2 Cellar. We dropped in on a Friday (around 4:00pm) and were greeted right away. There's plenty of tables inside (the room is split into two areas) along with a couple more outside. Service is friendly and they seem to enjoy engaging with their customers. 18 ciders on tap (10 regular, four rare finds and four from Woodinville Ciderworks). Several flavours lean toward the Asian palate. Cider bottles and cans ranged from $5.00 to $20.00 USD. A taster set is $10.00 USD for four (4 oz). - 6x Tasters ($2.50 USD each) - we went with the hibiscus rose julep, la ma (spicy mama), plum & pucker, sassy peaches, kwas sour and cabell d'angel. Our favourite was the kwas sour (sour mash toasted bread fermented with raisin) followed by the sassy peaches. The rest left us wanting more. Not enough flavour and oomph. Especially the la ma (winter melon and Szechuan peppercorns); heat was very subtle and didn't get much winter melon notes. - Cookies - they brought out a complimentary bowl, which came out warm and gooey. An unexpected but kind gesture. RoC wasn't the best ciders we've had but it was a relaxing visit.

I came here for a paint and sip night with friends. They carry an Asian inspired menu with flavors like plum and winter melon! I wouldn't say it was the best I ever tasted but definitely interesting. Between the three of us, We shared a bottle of champagne and each enjoyed a glass of cider.

WOW! Two travelers here from California on a quest to find delicious cider. This was fantastic. Not only was the cider very unique, but the service and staff were amazing and the most friendly. My favorite was definitely George's SoDo. A must try if you are in the area. We were staying in downtown, but was definitely worth the quick bus ride. Note: did not try any wine but people seemed to be raving!

Empty taster. Lol

Came here for a social event and was underwhelmed a bit by it. Parking is limited, food is strange and the managment seemed irritated at customers. The tasting I was attending was lack luster with barely enough in the tasting glass to get a good feel of the cider itself. The event included a tour of the cidery house and it was slightly interesting as the owner/manager/ cider brewer guy did seem happier when sharing about the ciders. Apparently they share the space with other wine makers. Yet, the overall feel of this place was unfortunately unfriendly. I did purchase a bottle of dry cider that was like a dry champagne, but due to a weird miscommunication ended up purchasing two bottles which came with a free glass. The woman serving me did not listen to my request for a glass of cider and brought me the bottle and immediately opened it for me to drink, which was NOT what I wanted to do, drink an entire bottle alone. Even though it was a smalller size bottle. Luckily other people were around I was chatting with so I offered them some. When I was leaving the manager asked me if I was ok as if to chastize me for drinking. It was very strange. Don't think I will be back.

Republic of cider!!!! Yumm

Oh my goodness, let me say... mad scientist! If you love cider, you will get the most amazing cider you have ever had! George is an extraordinary cider maker creating the most delicious and unique flavors! Open on weekends and worth the trip! George and Emily are our new favorite and it's so hard to decide which is your favorite! Ok, digging the bourbon barrel crab apple... yummm

Menu as of July 2023

Amazing selection of ciders, there is something for everyone from traditional/safer options like sassy peach to adventurous choices like banana! Start the weekend by getting a flight here and try out some Taiwanese-inspired creations. Friendly, down-to-earth service too. Will come back for sure!

It was the perfect Fall day -no rain! We stopped in the Cidery and grabbed a beer for hubby and a wine for me. There was live music...a group playing Celtic songs. The bar offers a cup of food pellets for feeding the critters but we didn't think K was quite ready for that. We went to find the animals and discovered what a gem this place is. Highland Cows, donkey, a small horse, several goats and an alpaca. Really a great variety. And so friendly! We were able to pick up a few pellets for K and he LOVED feeding the goats! The grounds are amazing - way bigger than I expected. I could see how this would be spectacular to hang out on a summer afternoon. We'll be back!!

We more or less stumbled upon it because we had parked in the garage just below. I really liked it. A great selection of ciders--I really like their Pub Dry--which you can flight. We opted to try a couple of varieties ourselves, rather than a flight, and they let us taste them before we committed. Food options were pretty sparse when we were there. They were out of all the folds (it wasn't even 6!), so all that we could get were sausages in a bun. Perfectly edible, but low-key. Locust's emphasis is certainly on the cider, less on the food! Staff was friendly and helpful. When my girlfriend accidentally spilled her full glass because the table was slightly rickety, they replaced it without question. That was so nice! The place is pretty open, with lots of natural light. Has a really good vibe. There are plenty of options for seating, but the place could easily accommodate more tables and seats. There's a lot of unoccupied floor space. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm downtown or near the Market.

On tap they have the ciders, some non alcoholic options like a cream soda as well as cbd drinks! They also have a fridge with more non alcoholic or cbd beverages which was awesome as I was a fan of the variety. Limited food options like bags of chips for sale and free popcorn. Outside food and drink is allowed which was nice. I saw many large groups bring in their own food. Atmosphere is friendly and accepting. Enjoyed the coloring supplies available and friendly strangers we chatted with. I ordered the cbd cranberry blood orange 8oz which was super light in flavor profile but a relaxing and tasty drink. My friend ordered the C.R.E.A.M soda and she said it was good. If I returned definitely I would try some of the ciders like Cinna-Bear as that looked popular. Free parking in front of the building is limited but beside the building and behind the building are more spots available. We enjoyed our experience here and my friend felt accepted and safe wearing her fursuit and also received many compliments. Fun and safe place to go on a Saturday night! Would recommend.

If memory serves I believe there was a brewery that was here previously as the layout of the taproom looked very familiar. They have their own ciders on tap as well as guest beer taps but I really wanted to try the cider. It was the primary reason for going here. What I got was their Lrg Up! Ginger Cider. It was really refreshing and good! It was nice and light bodied and had the presence of apple and of course ginger which I always enjoy. Service was friendly and fast and it was nice having the complimentary popcorn while I was enjoying the cider!

They allow you to stroll through their orchard rows at your leisure. There isn't much there for entertainment, but it's an open area that serves cider, you can bring your own snacks and games, music etc. My kids really enjoyed chasing the bullfrogs by the pond. I had sort of assumed that the kids would get bored quickly and we would leave right away. But they were so entertained playing in nature that I couldn't get them to leave for hours, which made for a relaxing afternoon for me and my wife as we sipped cider and watched them play. The cider itself is some of the best I've ever had. I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur and I would rank dragon head as my top cider in the state.

We were warmly greeted and though our hostess was new, she did a wonderful job taking care of our large group of 12. Everything ran smoothly and she was great at keeping track of our progress. We learned more about the cider process and where they get their apples from. We really liked the port-like Pommeau and got a bottle of that at the end to share. They have a beautiful orchard that you can walk around in as well. Some nice seating areas scattered about or bring a picnic blanket. No food but maybe some snacks for purchase. We just came from lunch in town so I wasn't looking for snacks while I was there. I saw some people who looked like they brought their own picnic/food to enjoy there. No restroom on site but a porta-potty.
