I love a good cider, so I had high hopes for this place. The chalkboard menu is color coded according to sweetness, which made it easy for me to pick my flight from the 30+ options on tap. Schilling has a handful of their own offerings and the rest were guest taps. They also have coolers full of bottled options! We had two bartenders when we were there; one seemed less interested in helping us find ciders we'd love, and one was super helpful. I did a full flight of six different ciders, which I shared with my boyfriend. I liked all but one that I tried, so I was pretty happy. The atmosphere inside is warm and inviting. They have games to play, a self-serve water cooler, and no kitchen, but you can bring food in. I could tell that Schilling is a place where locals would probably hang out. read more

Schilling Cider House - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love hard cider. And since moving to Seattle I've learned that there really is no such thing as "regular" hard cider. Sure, the typical hard cider flavor is apple but that alone allows for so many variations such as Sweet, Semi-Sweet, Semi-Dry, Dry. Beyond those categories you have alcohol content and the flavor factor. Still with me? Great, because Schilling has so much more to offer than that. And it's oh so good. First off, Schilling makes a lot of their own hard cider brews. The flavors can vary by season and perhaps even whim. I love that. My latest obsession was their chai spice option. So dang good that I purchased my own to-go bottle. And I didn't share it. . . Want to check out Schilling? Here's what you need to know. There is a large variety of hard cider available here both on tap and in take-home bottles. The options change throughout the year so you can pretty much always expect something new with each visit. On tap there are around 30+ options. Yes, you read that right. I've yet to find any other location in Seattle with that much to offer. They all have descriptive names, distinct flavors, and are color-coded according to level of sweetness/dryness. I'm very partial to the sweet ones so this color-coding is extremely helpful. To taste and enjoy to the fullest, write 6 of your tasting selections on the designated card and hand it to the cashier. Don't forget to go to the self-serve water station and fill a glass to keep yourself hydrated. Pro tip: Bring a friend and share 12 different tastings to expand your options. Also, feel free to stay awhile and play some of the card or board games provided in the space. read more

Schilling Cider House - My custom cider flight - the chai flavor was soooooo good - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Fantastic surprise for the non-cider enthusiast (me) and two thumbs up from the cider enthusiast husband. We got to taste six canned favorites with the owner at a virtual tasting and can't wait to head to the tasting room when things return to "normal". The owner was a hoot and REALLY knows her history of cider without being snooty! The cans all have fun pictures on them and ciders where light, very easy to drink and perfect for summer nights. We won't be doing the "taste the rainbow " challenge when we head to the tasting room in Fremont (2oz tastings of all 32 ciders on tap) but we'll definitely be taking friends to try some of their seasonal blends. read more

Pro: BOOZE, on tap!!!! Con: Not enough indoor seating on a cold and rainy day... which is about every day? Found this place while waiting for Kacha to open up around the corner. There is so much different cider on tap, it's kind of insane, I would love to live around the corner and just be able to come and go. Pretty cheap price in comparison to Socal. read more

Cider is not usually a favorite of mine as I favor a delicous craft beer. But this cider house is A...MA...Zing!!! Super cool vibes and loads of ciders to chose from. All labled by color for the desired sweetness, dryness and semi sweet category. Numbers 1-12 are made by schilling and the others are guest tap ciders. It was a cold day, DUH, did you know it's Washington?, lol, so we decided on the chai cider served hot. OMG. Absolute perfection for a cold day. Yummy and sweet, not too sweet served with cloves on top. At 6.5% it was a perfect light buzz as well. Next I tried the crisp apple flavor, which I ended up buying a six pack of, because it was also so yummy! The vibe was superchill with clean bathrooms, plenty of seating, games to play and loads of fun coloring sheets to entertain yourself. No food served here. Only little bites of cheese as snacks. Parking in the nearby neighborhood, downtown area was easy to find. Great find in the Fremont area. If you are a cider fan you will LOVE this place. It has converted me. Happy Yelping. read more

Happened to find this place while exploring Seattle and we loved it. I tried all the staff favorites and they did not disappoint. They had board games as well to play which I also appreciate. Service was fast and drinks are cold, what more could you ask for! read more

Huge selection of Ciders! Great location and Locally made products. Definitely a place to check out. read more

A casual and affordable cider house to relax and drink cider with friends! I came here with a friend after a meal to chat and catch up. It was our first time there so we needed a moment to figure out what we wanted to order and the cashier was very patient with us. The $2 flights we had were sweet and refreshing. We saw some other people playing board games there so that's an option too. They have open tables and benches for seating where you can sit next to other people as well. It was a neat experience being a tourist in the area! read more

Cool little cider house near Google and other shops. We got one in Portland last year and it is a bit nicer than this one (it's newer) because it's on the second floor, had a balcony seating area with a fire pit, but isn't as big as this one. They ran out of some of the ciders when we were there but luckily got it before it did. They have a nice selection of different ciders from other vendors, and they have a gauge to help you make your decision between dry, semidry, and sweeter varieties. Prices are reasonable for a flight and they have some games you can play while you're enjoying your drinks. They also have a cooler with a bunch of other ciders which is really nice. Great place to kick back and relax on a weekend. read more

Schilling Cider House - Flight - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Our last stop of the evening was at Schilling Cider House. Always down to try another cider spot in town. We dropped in on a Friday evening (around 10:00pm). Hours are oddly short (only open till 11:00pm daily). Service is helpful and they'll give you suggestions if you ask. The place was busy when we arrived but there's plenty of seating. Several board games to play and lots of ciders (local, American and global) to choose from in their cider fridges. The beats (old school R&B/hip hop) were right up our alley. 32 ciders to choose from on tap organized from driest to sweetest (colour coded). Samplers are $2.00 US/each (except for the speciality numbered ones in red which are slightly more). Write down what you want on your flight. Love that you can get Brownrigg's cherry cardamom! - Flight ($2.00 US each) - we went with Cider Riot passionfruit (#14), Schilling rhubarb pear (#7), Finn River honey meadow (#11), Tieton honey lavender (#24), Schilling pineapple passion (#5) and Schilling chaider (#8). Favourite was the lavender honey followed by the honey meadow. Schilling pineapple literally tasted like pineapple juice. The chaider was supposed to be sweet but had a dry, unappealing taste. Rhubarb pear was well rounded. Passionfruit smelled better than it tasted; only got a small, subtle hint. Card only. Decent ciders but nothing really blew us away at Schilling. read more

Yay Schilling! I love being able to do flights here, and that they have drinks readily available for purchase to carry out. Although some ciders are sweet, I have always been a fan and they have other options! I will say though I really really wish they had some food options :( Staff is nice and the venue is welcoming! read more

Good stop on a weekend afternoon, love the wood-accent interior & chatty atmosphere. We got a flight of the semi-sweet ciders: 30, 21, 12, 4, 15, 11. Top three for those loving sweet and light ciders are: 1. Revenant (lime, kumquat): floral 2. Seattle cider: earl grey!! 3. Avid (raspberry dragonfruit): sweet, fruity read more

For someone who isn't a big beer fan, it's cool to go to a spot that has a variety of cider options. When I stopped in, I was overwhelmed by how many unique and fun flavors schilling cider house offers (like an earl grey cider and a ginger cider just to name a few). Ambience: If you're looking for a chill place to grab a drink, this is your spot (I mean come on, it's in the name). I came on a crowded Saturday night so it was pretty loud, but still a really cool place to be. read more

Yes please! A place full of nothing but local cider? Sign me up! We visited when we were in the area to check out a couple other things. I decided to go with a flight since I couldn't decide on which one to get. The flight gives you a chance to try a variety of ciders for a reasonable price. It's a okay sized place with some small tables along with some bigger family sized tables. They have games and such if that is your thing. We enjoyed just having somewhere nice to sit and enjoy some tasty cider. I've already started looking for it here in Florida and was happy to find out that a couple of places carry it. read more

Shoutout to Lauren P. for planning a fun virtual Elite event! I love cider, but had never been to Schilling. This was a perfect opportunity to test out a variety of their ciders. As part of the event, we were given the following ciders: London Dry, Rosé Vacay, Local Legend (semi-sweet), Excelsior (a bit of a honey taste), Grapefruit and Chill, and the Passport (pineapple passionfruit). Sarah, our wonderful host, talked us through the process and recommended we try the ciders from dry to sweet (as listed in the previous sentence). She was passionate and knowledgeable about the process and flavors, which made for a great, interactive event. My favorites were the Passport, Grapefruit and Chill, and the Local Legend. I tend to gravitate towards sweeter ciders, which is why I loved those 3. I'm looking forward to going back to Schilling to try out the rest of their flavors! read more

I came here with a friend on a Saturday night. The first thing I noticed was the vibe. Everyone seemed super chill and to be having a good time. Most people were just hanging out but some people playing board games too. They do allow dogs as long as they behave. There are lots of communal tables and it wasn't difficult to find a place to sit. I especially loved that the menu was color coded to give you an idea of how dry or sweet the drinks are. They even let you have a tiny sample juts to be sure you are happy with your choice. Definitely check this place out if you are in the neighborhood and in the mood for something different! read more

This place is super fun! The flight glasses are huge, for a flight! I would only like to see them open up a little more seating. They could probably squeeze a few more seats in there. I visited on a Saturday around 5 and it was packed! Couldn't find a seat so me and my friend walked around the corner to the little hole in the wall wine place. Came back after we were done there and happen to snag seating from a few people that were leaving, so that was lucky! I love the idea though, of a cider place! & it's so nice to be able to try ciders that are not crazy sweet like the ones you would buy at the store and feel like you're drinking straight sugar with a tad bit of alcohol in it. Very cool place! read more

We tried the flight and enjoyed the variety of ciders served. They ranged in sweetness and flavor and were a great way to try different ones without committing to a whole glass :-) They also have games and coloring sheets if you just want to relax, which my boyfriend and I thought was super cool. A nice, chill, casual place to come with friends! read more

Had an amazing experience! The bartenders are kind, knowledgeable, and helpful.

My favorites were the Springboard semi-sweet and the Imperial McIntosh. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Pineapple passionfruit cider ftw! I'm not a beer person since they're so bitter and all taste the same. I've come to enjoy ciders, but really only the sweet ones. Basically, I'm drinking it for the sugar. Most cider places tend to focus on dry ciders, which just doesn't do it for me. I am so glad this place has a variety of dry, semi sweet, and sweet ciders! You can order straight from their extensive menu, or do a flight with smaller pours to get more variety. I basically did a flight of all the sweet ciders, but my favorite was the pineapple passionfruit. Pineapples pretty much make everything super sweet! I actually bought a pack of this exact cider from Bevmo not too long ago, but hadn't tried it yet. You can bet it was the first drink I had when I got back home. The cans don't taste as fresh as the drink I had on tap here, so be sure to savor the drinks on your visit! The space had high ceilings which I always appreciate. It made it feel more spacious. People continued to trickle in by the time I finished my flight around 6pm on a weekday. I can only imagine it getting super busy on a weekend night. Sadly no foods served here, but plenty of restaurants nearby to grab a bite. Parking was scarce, but we were lucky enough to snag a spot in the residential streets nearby. read more

What's not to like? Wish that you could get wrecked on apple juice? This is your spot. Want food? They don't have any - but you can bring in outside food. It's good spot, can be a bit loud on trivia nights, but the bartenders are top notch. read more

I've never seen so many cider options in one place in my whole life - I was in heaven! Being gluten free, Schilling Cider House really opened up my drink options (it was hard to only pick 5 to try!) I recommend getting a flight because I guarantee you're going to want to try several flavors. Each tasting glass is $2, and you can order up to 6 tasting glasses per flight. I was obsessed with the chai cider. The blueberry lemon and rosé flavors were also excellent! There's board games available to play as well, and a decent amount of indoor seating. read more

The Schilling Cider House is a phenomenal stop for some good fun and great drinks! There's an abundance of ciders on tap with an eclectic array of options. Myself, I was hesitant to coming here, I generally don't like beer, let alone ciders. However, my wife really wanted to try it, as she is a cider fan. To my surprise, Schilling had a chalk board filled with options to try, listed from Dry to sweet, including semi-dry's and semi-sweet's. I went for the driest options available, and WOW! I loved every one I tried! My wife got the sweeter options, which she loved as well! I tried hers, and definitely not for me, and she tried mine, and definitely not for her. Just goes to show this place has something for everyone to enjoy! The atmosphere is fun and inviting, with board games available to play with friends! The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable! Only downside was the parking, but hey, what can you expect in a big city. Definitely check this place out soon! read more

While visiting Seattle, my sister insisted that we try this place, and I'm so glad we did! I've never been to a cider house with so many options, and they actually only have cider. I thought that was cool since it forced the boys in our group to try cider and not just get beer (and they really liked it). I've only recently gotten into ciders, but I really liked almost everything I tried at Schilling (I got a flight), though not all of them were made by Schilling...so I'm guessing the selection rotates quite a bit. It's also just a big, open place to hangout, and they have tons of games! I would definitely recommend giving this spot a try :) read more

Been dying to try this place for a while and was finally able to prior to watching the fireworks at Gas Works for 4th of July! Because I hate paying for parking we were able to just walk from a neighborhood to this location. But there were parking lots nearby. It's not cheap, but it's essentially building a flight if you want more than 2 drinks, or just get a single drink for the labeled price. The menu is color coded by dry- sweet levels which is greatly appreciated for someone that doesn't like super sweet or dry ciders. They were able to provide variety for sure! I'm sure they have rotating ciders but a few of our favorites were: - Cucumber BlackBerry - Schilling Chaider - Lavender black currant - Lilikoi - Pineapple passion fruit I was super bummed that I missed out on the bourbon peach! That was the first one I wanted to try. We loved the atmosphere and how everyone was friendly! There are board games and well behaved pups are welcome. read more

This will be the place I push for when we visit the Seattle area. They let your dog in with you! And not in a secluded area, but with everyone else. Your dog had to behave though. Everyone was so nice and wanted to pet our dog, and that made me feel comfortable. Now let me get the to other important thing. Their cider selection is really good. We got a flight, and I think that's the best thing to do. You get to try 6 different cider. I like how they color coded their drinks from dry to sweet. I like the sweet stuff, sorry not sorry. Over all I loved their ciders and be able to experience it with my husband and fur baby. read more

It was my first time coming into a cider house and taking down flights of a wide range of ciders. For less than $15, their flights is at an excellent price point. I really enjoyed their PDX Mojito and Chantel Marker. These were great tasing and super crisp. I also love how they serve cider in proper bulb-shaped glasses. I had an awesome experience overall and I do recommend people to come and try their local ciders. Cheers! read more

I loved it here! I was first introduced to schilling cider from Qfc when I bought a six pack and on one of my days off I thought let's see where the tap room is and it's not that far! When I arrived they were so helpful, they have a bunch of taps from other cideries as well. Great atmosphere and great people! read more

I'm not even a huge fan of cider and this place completely blew me away! I had a flight and a pint and every flavor was better than the last. I went for the drier flavors, and nothing disappointed. The happy hour deal is very reasonable and a great place for a group. Double bonus, all the board games. Any place that has ample board games makes the hours of an afternoon just melt away with the excellent ciders. Also a great place to grab ciders to go! Their fridges were STOCKED with all the ciders one could possibly want! read more

4,7,30,85,15 were the ciders I ordered for the flight. If I remember correctly the first 3 were my favorites. They had postcards for sale and offered to mail them for you if you put it in their mailbox. I loved that so I wrote my mom a postcard. I also got a sticker. We really enjoyed coloring the sheets they had available. We did one of Bigfoot and I hope they still have it on the wall. Really enjoyed the cider here. Service was great too! read more

Cider, Cider, Cider, Cid!!! Yes, Schilling Cider House was such a great and fantastic experience! I've never been to a cider joint but, I may need to retire the bars and just phuckin drink cider during happy hour....shoot! Schilling Cider offers over 30+ ciders on tap and hundreds of bottles! I love that you can make your own personalized cider flights! I came here with my friends during the last day of our trip to Seattle. It's a great concept and totally a Bang for your Buck! It's spacious and they offer tons of varieties of cider. Did I mention the refrigerator full of cider options? Yess! They even have a HUGE variety of ciders that is located in the refrigerator and is perfect for nights to hang out at home and chill on a Friday night or great for gifts! Schilling Cider offers unique ciders ranging in different flavors and is color coded from sweet to dryness. I really liked the sweet ciders more than the dry ones. I treated my group to various flavors ranging in dry vs sweet. We all agreed that some of our favorites were the #4 Pineapple Passion and the #15 Baked Apple. I was shocked to see that we bought 10 flights for $24, and we couldn't even finish all 10 flights. You can order a pint or a flight! For a glass is $2 or you can get a set of 6 for $12. Customer Service is great here! We were greeted by the lovely Sasa who was FABULOUS! She gave us great advice on what flights were popular and talked to us the whole time we were there. She definitely made the experience much better; thanks Sasa! Oh, let's not forget about the favorite hour of the day!...Happy Hour!!!

I am in love with this cider house! 30+ ciders on tap?! Yes please! I am not the biggest bear fan, but I am a cider fan, and this place is cider heaven! I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a group of friends. All of us started out with flights for $12.00 which gave you a sampling of up to 6 ciders. They also have board games for you to play. I made my friends play a round of scrabble. The people at the other table were playing battle ship. It was a fun time! How to order flights: - they have flight cards at the bar, grab one and fill in the 6 ciders you want to try - give it to them and they will pour your order Schilling had some out there flavors like Sriracha Lime Cider. My favorite one was a passion fruit one. Loving this spot! read more

This is a great little cider house with an awesome vibe and location. They have about 10 ciders they produce themselves and another dozen or more from other local vendors. They also have a bunch of bottles you can take away. They have a variety of flights, sizes you can order and a really quiet and cozy atmosphere to hang out. The place probably has room for 50 or so people to sit but almost all of it is across 4 big tables and one section of the bar. It's a great place to hang with lots of friends but may be tough for a 1:1 date, etc. because there is very few places where you aren't on top of every other person at the same table. read more
