Had such a great time here! Lexi was working and she was great, not only are her drinks good but she can keep a conversation with you for a while. Had the martini flight so I chose the pickle juice with vodka, pickle juice with bourbon as well as one with pickle juice, bourbon, truffle and caviar. The last one was quite adventurous of me as I've never had caviar & only had truffle one other time. Wasn't quite my thing, but I loved the other two. It's very small with some chairs at the bar along with two tables. It's right by the train station so if you're worried about driving, that's always an option! read more

This is one of my favorite drink spots. Love the variety of mead and the wonderful cocktails. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

We had tried WA Meadwerks' mead at a local brewery recently and were hooked. We were excited to see they are located in Lindy which is an easy drive for us. Parking can be tricky but there are side streets without meters if you look closely. The staff is friendly, kind, and gives great suggestions! We did a flight for $12 and we liked 3 out of the 5 we tried. Our favorite was the one the staff chose. A red currant mead with just the right amount of sweetness without giving you a hangover. They definitely have regulars here and we struck up a conversation with a few. They also offer food if you need something to soak up the alcohol. They have a mini-fridge with sodas, water, and seltzer as well in the event you need to hydrate or you're with folks who don't drink. There are table games to play and plenty of bottles to take home if something tickles your fancy. Awesome spot and we'll definitely be back! read more

WA Meadwerks - a variety of beers on a bar - Meaderies Near Me - Lindenhurst, New York

I was so happy to have found a meadery in LI and that too a good one. The staff member who helped us was very hospitable and explained about all of their meads. It was special Sundays and we apparently get 6 tastings instead of 5 in their $12 flights. We loved all our choices except the aronia berry one. All flavors were well balanced and tasted really great. The tasting room is simple and laid out well. They have a good selection of board games. This is a good place to easily spend an evening with friends or partners sipping some great mead read more

This place was great - I literally just left arrived about Noon on a Saturday - Tara was very sweet and accommodating - explained the flights - and made great suggestions - will def be back again and again They also have a few finger foods to pick on read more

WA Meadworks As often said in Monty Python, "And now for something completely different." What do I mean? Well, how many meaderies do you know of? I wouldn't be surprised if your answer was none because before I ventured to Lindenhurst with one of my buddies, I never would've thought any meadery existed, let alone WA Meadworks here on Long Island. Well, that's not entirely true. I did stop into Brew Cheese up in Stonybrook back in the warmer months and sampled one of WA's solid meads (Keepin' it Lindy #2) which was on tap. Plus I had been exposed to just the idea of mead years ago at a renaissance fair so unlike most of the people I talked to about WA Meadworks, I had tried and did know what mead was. Though I probably never would've expected the world of mead to lend itself so closely to beer. What do I mean? Just enter into WA Meadworks and you'll think brewery. A bar with plenty of taps, tables scattered about, and a nice shelf full of bottled product for purchase. So a brewery, right? Wrong. WA Meadworks specializes in honey wine, creating a wide array of styles filled with anything from berries to chocolate. Better yet (just like any alcohol-based establishment), you can try a bunch of these meads via flight. With more than 15 options on tap, it can be tough to choose. Well, tough for anyone not driving. Half of the meads are labeled draft, giving way to ABV's that are respectable for sipping (single digits). The other half are "still meads" which really get the booziness going as they ring in at ABV's north of 12%. With me being behind the wheel that day, my buddy opted for a flight and hit mostly on the higher variants so my tastes were smaller and spaced out. Apple of My Eye, Anybody Want a Peanut?, Is it Autumnal? (pumpkin spice), and Gloop (chocolate) were four still meads that had a great hint of the flavors they were representing (as stated by their names), though definitely had the boozy wine kick riding along with each. One of the draft meads we tried was the Meaderhosen, brewed in collab with DUBCO for Oktoberfest. Can't say I loved the bitter, malty forefront and only slight sweetness, but the fact it was a collab was pretty cool. What was also cool was the employee behind the bar. This guy was talking up a storm, mostly to some of the local Lindenhurst folks and friends, but he did include my buddy and I in tasting some of another collab WA did with DUBCO, but on the beer side of the fence. Don't Call Me Honey Boy, a kölsch with (you guessed it) honey as the main flavor made for a nice combination for the two worlds of alcohol. Getting to try that brew free of charge, along with decent hospitality within the taproom, rounded out a fun little mead trip. Overall, WA Meadworks is totally something worth checking out. Maybe you like your wine red, or perhaps you're more into beer. Either way, take a step out of the ordinary because WA will give you a crazy crossover between the two in the form of an old school libation developed under new school ideas. I'd totally return (perhaps not as the driver) to sample more honey wines because hey, why not try something completely different? read more

I was in Lindenhurst and I remembered WA Meadwerks from a street festival I attended. I saw they had a tasting room and stopped in. I was looking for their watermelon flavor which they had in a can. Then the owner mentioned they had slushies and my eyes lit up! I sure did take one home! So good! I'll be stopping back soon. read more

Say yes to Mead! This bar is one great place with a great bartender and his dog Hazel! The place is very cozy and popular among locals, which is a great sign. My husband and I were able to get a seat at the bar. The selection of leads is incredible. The menu is separated into two columns: drafts and still. As being new to the place, I decided to get the flights ( I should have gone with a mega flight which includes all 21 flavors); I started with five flavors from the drafts; they are less alcohol content and so delicious. I could not stop praising it. Then I chose five from stills which a more strong but also very delicious. I could not pick a favorite one. Extra star I would add for adorable Hazel, get her some treats if you come ) I am definitely coming back for more! read more

WA Meadwerks - Flight of mead - Meaderies Near Me - Lindenhurst, New York

This was my first time trying Mead wine, and I was not disappointed. This small batch tasting room and Meadery was well beyond my expectation. They both make and serve their brand and had over 20 different options to choose from. Paired with a wine and cheese plate from a local business made this visit the perfect warmup to a night out in the revitalized Lindenhurst downtown. read more

The meadery opened in the heart of the quaint village of Lindenhurst on the south shore right off the LIRR. It's easily accessible and there is plenty of parking. If you haven't tried a mead you must visit this place and get the experienced the honey wine. You'll be blown away by the creativity and flavor complexity they provide. The brewers' passion shine through in their product and they designed a pretty awesome tasting room equipped with a tv and dart board. Go stop by and open yourself up to a new drink, mead!! It won't disappoint. read more

Lindenhurst is having itself a Renaissance, and WA Meadwerks is helping to lead the charge. I grew up in the area, and the town of Lindenhurst was never much of a destination, but now with a crop of new drink and food establishments, Lindenhurst is putting itself on the map. But WA Meadwerks is giving Lindenhurst a leg up on other up and coming towns. It seems like breweries are popping up in every town on LI (you'll see no complaints from me on that), but a meadery? Man, I was so excited to try them, and they did not disappoint. Atmosphere: This is a place you want to drink. A casual spot with precious bee themed décor, staff and patrons that are friendly and will chat about anything, and dogs. All the dogs. Drinks: Psh, the best part. Their mead is fire. I've had flavors up and down the map, and they're all so unique. They even do collabs with breweries too (Don't Call Me Honey, Man with Dubco was wonderful). Plus frozen mead for the warm months. Done and done. Hazel: She's the meadery pup. Go say hi and give her a good belly rub. Overall: Duh, you go there. You drink mead. You pet pups. You chat with the awesome staff and patrons. You drink more mead. You tell your friends to do the same. read more

If you want to try something different come here! I'm honey obsessed and when I found out about mead I had to give it a try. WA Meadwerks takes it to the next level. They constantly change it up but offer flights of mead in an extraordinary variety of flavors. I choose the flight because I had never had mead and didn't know which ones I'd like. My absolute favorite turned out to be the Lindy 2 (Restoration Kitchen collaboration). Blueberry and a Ginger-each flavor showed up on this one and held their own. I happen to really like those flavors. For most interesting I have to say the Meaderhosen --it is beer like! I don't know what magic it took to make this one but it tases like Frankfurt GERMANY I swear. If you're looking for something fun and different I'd say this is the place. Bring friends, or make friends there like I did lol. The patrons are a friendly as the staff! read more

How is this place not on yelp yet? An actual meadery on Long Island! Owner is super nice and attentive, the meads are all very good and they have cheese plates for pairing! What could be better? They have bottles to go as well for all of your friends who haven't tried mead! I tried both the apple of my eye and the raspberry strawberry one. The Apple one was yummy with a bit of smoke flavor on the end. The raspberry strawberry (ResQme?) was delicious! Something you would want on a nice summer night. They do a flight as well which I wish I had done because there were a few others on tap which I would have liked to try (a flight was $12 for 5! What a steal!) I will be trying my best to make the Slates and Plates night here on 2/13 for a cheese and mead pairing! Yum!!!! read more

This is the first (and to date, the only meadery) I went to. The variety of types and strength (important when you have to drive) of the meads is nice. They offer tastings and mead to go. The guys are super friendly. I'll have to swing back in here again soon. read more

I've been curious to find somewhere to try mead for a while, and this place did not disappoint! One of the owners was behind the bar, and was very welcoming and into talking about the brewing process. My friends and I each had a flight of 5 varieties of mead, and I bought a couple of bottles to bring home. Great spot! read more

WA Meadwerks - 3 Mead Flights! - Meaderies Near Me - Lindenhurst, New York

Tara is the most amazing bartender. During our first visit, she made sure to fully explain the menu to us and she suggested drinks to us that we didn't even know we wanted. We've been to meadwerks numerous times and are never disappointed in the customer service we receive. Even if we are sitting in the table away from the bar, Tara has always come by the make sure that we are good on drinks and are comfortable. Tara is the main reason we keep returning to this location. This is the only place we have been to in the area that we have felt an extreme level of customer service and have not felt that we were just another customer at a bar. read more

Severe lack of knowledge. Bartender recommended mead based off beer styles. Mead deserves more respect.

We have been supporting here since they opened. We went one night and the place was dead and Joe was rude and dismissive. We were asking him some questions about what was available (which a lot of meads weren't) and he wouldn't even look up from his iPad to talk to us. It was a very disappointing experience because this was one of our favorite places but we will not give people our business who clearly don't care about their customers. read more

Great place to try a variety of Meads. They offer different flavors, types, as well as flights of mead to sample all that they have. Each flavor is unique in its self and it's a great place to try something different each time. The owner Joe is very nice, takes pride in his craft, and is a great supporter of the community. Very cool to have the only mead place right here in the area. read more

Decided to stop by here to see what the new local business was. I have never tried Mead and was very impressed with it's smooth finish and assortment of flavors. When you stop by be sure to try the "orange ya glad"! read more

What a great little spot and a welcome addition to the Village of Lindenhurst. I'm not a wine or beer lover so mead is right in the middle. It comes in a variety of flavors/alcohol content so there's something for everyone. They sometimes have a food truck parked outside on Friday nights so you can grab a bite and eat there or just get your food to go with a bottle. Friendly and informative staff and a nice crowd. I'll be back! read more
