I so rarely go out for a drink, but when I do this is one of the places that I choose! Fast, friendly service (Lacey is the best), chill atmosphere, delicious mead and cider. In the summer I bring my dog and chill on the patio. You can't lose! read more

The Poisoned Apple - Meyer lemon mead - Cideries Near Me - Atascadero, California

What a fun little (slightly hidden) gem in downtown Atascadero! Love this place - ambiance is just phenomenal. Talked to the owner Cody about the fact that they just had their two year anniversary! They serve a wide selection of cider, mead, beer and wine! We enjoyed a wonderfully delicious cider flight when visiting! They have an awesome bar inside with ample indoor and outdoor seating, including a massive (long) window seat. They do trivia and holiday / themed parties as well. Another huge bonus - Cody has two of the cutest pups that run around greeting the guests, lounging on the couches and enjoying themselves! I would say that this place has one of the best overall vibes in north county - extremely inviting atmosphere, comfortable seating, great drinks, dogs and awesome people! Thanks, Cody! read more

Poisoned Apple is our favorite place downtown. Cody, Devon, and Lacey wonderful, friendly people who give great recommendations. The rotating selection of cider, seltzer, mead and beer are all great. They also host a trivia night most Thursdays and have a rotating variety of local caterers on Fridays. Sepcial events on Halloween or the New Years mascaraed party are highlights. Cannot recommend them enough. read more

This is the kind of place you want to come and just hang out at for hours. They have a wide variety of ciders and meads to try. I opted for the $3 tasters this visit and was not disappointed. Had the chance to try many different creations and find what suited my taste the best. The bartender (did not catch his name) was very friendly and totally encouraged my tasting of as many as I liked. There was the cutest dog roaming around and sunbathing in the front window. Made the place feel cozy. Large patio out back to enjoy our beautiful Atascadero weather. read more

Walked in solo on a Friday night. Instantly I felt welcome and safe. Cody behind the bar saw me checking out the mead menu and he recommended I do a flight - he was right! Each pour was strong and delicious, the honey coming through beautifully. The crowd was chill and I loved the dark, on theme decorations. They had some delicious smash burgers cooking out in the back patio which was an added bonus. Overall, highly recommend this spot for a unique and tasty mead/cider experience. read more

The Poisoned Apple - Mead flight - Cideries Near Me - Atascadero, California

In my journeys with finding amazing ciders to enjoy and pair with our local foods I have run into Cody many times. When I found out that Cody and Devin had opened their own Cider bar/pub (place to hang out) I had to see (and taste) what was going on. First, let me say a good pub if done well has that relaxing feel both in the environment, nice comfortable seating, amazing drinks, and nice people to blend it all together. Even though this place is still young the Poisoned Apple hit all the right notes and just like fine wine (or cider) it is just getting better the more they get in the swing of things. When you walk in there is a darker tone with a lot of nice lighting. A great touch is the lighted Poisoned Apple sign hanging over the bar and rotates between Green and Red. Note to business owners: get a cool focus point for people to take pictures and tag your place! The backyard is amazing as well and at night cool lights hang above just add to that relaxed and fun to hang out vibe. The true awesomeness to the Poisoned Apple is their focus on Cider. They have teamed up with some of the best Central Coast cider makers and carry a ton of the "best of" their ciders. As on rotation it is always fun to go see what's on tap or in the can. Just recently tried a mead and was happily surprised and it tasted great. I think they had like 5 or so on the menu to try as well. Wondering what type of food pairs well with that honey taste, hmm. I heard they have a new vendor that people were raving about to pick up some food to go along with our drink (highly recommended). I have not tried them yet, and I'm on the plan for next time. Now I need to figure out what ciders I want to try as well. So excited to have a rock solid place to hang out on my way back from Paso Robles or making a day trip to Atascadero. Fully recommend trying out the Poisoned Apple and be sure to say hi to Cody and Devin! Now share what is your favorite cider (and pairing)! read more

We are visiting the town and some locals recommended us to try this bar. Omg we are so impressed with the choices and quality if the cider. Super friendly staff. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting in the area. read more

I really enjoyed this spot. The inside decor is fun and edgy. They have indoor and outdoor seating options which is nice. They also have a food truck on site I believe, but I'm not sure if that's everyday or just a special thing. My friend and I sat at the bar and ended up talking to the owner for a long time, he's very informative and a really cool dude. They have some great ciders on tap, but also have local beer and wine for those who may not like ciders. I recommend checking this place out, I'll definitely be going back. read more
