The Cider Barrel in Olympia - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

You're gonna love this place! The people here are super chill! Their selection of ciders both local and exotic are super expansive. Their flights are insane! You can have flights of cans! CANS! Where else can you do that? Their prices are insanely reasonable. On top of that, there's even a discount for flights when you're out with friends upstairs in the tattoo parlor gettin' inked! Get down here and get your cider on! You're gonna love it!!!

The owner is super friendly and knowledgeable about the many different ciders they have available!

The Cider Barrel is such a rare gem! It's an enjoyable place every time we go in and there's a number of reasons the people inside are always smiling or laughing! The owner and staff are really good to people on the regular, and go out of their way to make sure everyone's having a great time! And brainstorming news ways to make this happen! Whether it's playing games with your buddies over a cider, one of their many fun crafts nights, or you wanna cozy up with a book and a unique cider and enjoyable company! It can be found here! I can't recommend them enough! See for yourself and talk to other patrons, I imagine you could find a consensus on this!

12/10 experience every time I visit this establishment. I’ve been welcomed every time, the cider selection is phenomenal, and the location is excellent.

Honestly the best experience I have had in the Olympia area. Matt was super welcoming and also made great conversation. Is definitely a place I 11/10 recommend

Love this place! Love the charm and the owner is AMAZING!!

I love cider, I was super excited to see this place open again as I wanted to try it for ages and heard good things. Saw that it was finally open and went in, had no idea how it worked and was trying to ask question so I could get a few things to take home and the owner just started ignoring me mid sentence to have a conversation with someone who has just come in. Felt overwhelmingly alienated. I very much dislike being mistreated and will not be giving this place business in the future.

This was a lovely cider shop, we had four people who ordered different flights and Morgan worked with all of us to help pick great choices. The place had a great vibe and amazing selection, will definitely be back!

Great spot to grab a drink and play some games or just hangout. Owners were very hospitable and show everybody a great time!

This is my all time favorite spot in Olympia. Every time I’ve been in, the ciders have been AMAZING, and Troy has been more than generous and helpful. The flights are an amazing deal and so fun to try. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Had a great tasting with some friends. So many delicious options at a great price with friendly service. Stop by, guaranteed to have a good time while find something you like!

Great selection and owner was super helpful and friendly. Would come back any time.

A great range of cider and a great place to hangout and have a drink. Can't recommend it enough.

Great small cider taproom. Awesome selection!

Fantastic place to go try some cider. Troy was super nice and very easy to talk to. Helpful with finding what you want and has great stories while you try the ciders. We happened upon this place on the way to a different bar and stayed here instead. 10/10

Great place that has any cider you’re looking for! The owner is friendly and knows his cider. Also, I think the prices are very good.

An absolutely gem. Beautiful wood ambiance. The staff is SO nice and knowledgeable, and the selection is unparalleled! Can’t recommend this place enough.

The atmosphere is great. We had a great time playing games and tasting the variety of different cidars. I highly recommend this place. Troy was a great hostess.

Great service. So many choices of cider and staff is super knowledgeable about all things cider. Did a few flights where we just let him choose. Crazy variety of cider to go. We will be back soon, and bringing the pups.

Amazing customer service! The wife loves cider had to stop in!

We accidentally found this place... And we love it. He is hilarious and has great customer service. Definitely going back next time im in olympia. Thank you!!

This little gem is cider central! So many to choose from, no matter if it’s dry or sweet or fruity, the Cider Barrel has something for you. Great environment, lovely staff, and of course, terrific cider!

My hunny and I stopped in to the Cider Barrel today and had a great experience! We tried 6 delicious ciders and went home with 6 more ☺️ The cider tender was awesome and very personable and knowledgeable about the products and there is tons of cider to choose from. If you're in the area, definitely stop by for a flight because they have something for everyone!

Great time. Fantastic prices and me and my girlfriend had a great time trying the ciders and talking with the owner.

Fantastic selection of ciders, and a great value if you try the cider flight; 10$ for 6 4-ounce samplers. On top of that, great conversation with the guy therr

A small but enthusiastic cider bar with such a variety of ciders, there's gotta be at least one you like.

Great inventory. Owner is very friendly and has a lot of knowledge of cider.

Had a good time got a double flight and discovered a few new favorites and brought those home.

The Cider Barrel has an amazing selection of canned ciders! It's my new happy place.

Great service and great selection! We had a flight of 6 different ciders for $10- that's a steal. There is a long list of options for the flight so you don't feel limited, and our server gave us 2 extra tasters just because. I definitely enjoyed my visit and would recommend it.

Lots of cider all in one place that you can try.

Troy was wonderful & Greta company! Let me try so many ciders & had the cleanest bathroom. Definitely will come back always when I’m in town. The best bar experience I’ve had

Excellent cidre! Great environment Exceptional hospitality Very inviting and attentive Good for groups of 3+

Different experience than I'm used to in all the right ways. Awesome selection, very comfortable atmosphere, & Troy was friendly and great conversation. I'm won over and will be going back!

Been meaning to check this place out for a while and I was not disappointed. Fantastic selection of ciders and Troy is a lot of fun to talk to. Had a fantastic time and will be going back.

I've been meaning to stop by for a while now and I'm so glad I did. My friends and I had a blast tasting ciders and talking and joking with Troy and will absolutely be coming back any chance we get.

Really lovely place, with a great atmosphere! Great tasting ciders! Also the cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever seen :)

Awesome place to try lots of ciders! The owner is very friendly and will even let you pick your own music if it's empty enough ;) great selection, great prices, homey vibe, definitely coming back next time in Oly!

I visited this bar on a trip from Austin, Texas, and this is one of the few - perhaps only - bars dedicated entirely to cider that I've ever heard of or been to. There is a casual and friendly atmosphere here, and it's obvious that the place is run with love. You'll find a rotating cast of ciders on the menu, and unless you have something specifically in mind you're likely to find yourself trying a flight or two so you can experience some - less than half, certainly! - of the huge variety of ciders on offer. Maybe you're already a fan of cider, or maybe you're a beer drinker looking for something different, sweeter, or just local; you'll find it here.

Came here for cinco de mayo and had the best cider selection I have seen in Washington and also a plus they had birria today! I haven’t had great Mexican food since moving from so cal last year! Such a great spot!!!!!!

Great selection of ciders and great prices — highly recommended!

Troy was great. I didn't think I liked cider but after having a flight of samples I was hooked. I will be back.

This cider bar is a hidden Olympia gem. It is imbued with happy spirits thanks to the warm and welcoming owner with excellent taste in hard cider.

Dope cider, and the owner is the coolest guy. Love this place!

Troy is always so helpful and funny, we love going here to get our ciders!

Stopped in while just walking around downtown. Love cider and they have such a wide variety as well as the owner had excellent suggestions. Vibe and aesthetic are chill and got to go home with a great selection of ciders. Will definitely be going back.

Don't miss this great little spot with ALL THE CIDERS. There is something for everyone, even if you're not really into ciders. The owner is usually there and is so awesomely helpful, pick a flight and he'll ask what you did and didn't like, then give you more tastes of other ciders that will fit your tastes. We love coming out before heading to dinner downtown.

AWESOME!!! Our host was so fun and the selection was fantastic!

Discovered this hidden gem a few months ago and finally had time to come back! Brought a bunch of friends for their first time and the owner/bar tender was gracious enough to let us stop in and stay as I believe it was close to closing time! There are tons of cider options here! My friend and I shared a 6 flight taster and we were offered a few bonus tastes as well. Thank you!

This place is incredible. Beautiful wood work throughout the environment and the most friendly of owners. We were greeted upon entering and even offered the opportunity to choose the music we wanted to listen to. We tried several of the ciders and ended up taking home a few. I can’t wait to come visit this place again when we’re in Olympia.

The best host experience! Will definitely be coming back!

A great place to meet up with friends or just to grab some cider to take home. Tasting flights are a great way to find things you like, and a fun conversation starter with friends. He has such a wide variety of ciders for tasting everyone (even non-cider drinkers) will find something they like. If you’re a cider fan and want to try things from all over the country (and world) you can find all kinds of unique ciders in all kinds of styles. Definitely a must-stop place if you’re in the Olympia area.

Awesome new taproom! Cider selection is vast and the owner is extremely knowledgeable. Priced generously as well. If you are a fan of cider or interested in getting introduced to it, the Cider Barrel is the place to be!

I love this place!! So many varieties of cider and great service!! I will be back!!!

Door dash has messed up multiple orders from this place, but the owner always fixes it and makes sure my order is delivered. Plus the variety is amazing. If you like cider, please support this local business. Amazing service and product. I'm a repeat customer who will keep coming back. Buy here!!

Great little place to discover a wide array of ciders. They let you do tasting flights so you can test out all the options before you take them home. Extremely helpful + friendly staff!

So many great options, and the six pack to go is such a great deal!

Super welcoming, and GREAT selection.

Loved going here! I'm new to town, and this was the first place that really welcomed me- not to mention the incredible drinks! With that sort of variety and quality, and the overall friendliness and great environment, this is THE place to be. Thanks Troy!

This place is absolutely amazing! If you are looking for ciders, this is the place to go! Come see Troy!

15/10 recommend for any cider lover, Troy was incredibly knowledgeable and gave fantastic recommendations. Unparalleled selection of ciders and incredibly welcoming atmosphere. This is a highlight of Olympia!

Fantastic atmosphere, and Troy was very friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely be returning in the future!

Finally stopped in this evening and I’m so glad I did. Met Troy, super awesome guy and he’s really friendly and very helpful! I’m glad I skipped the DoorDash and headed downtown. I definitely recommend y’all trek on down yourselves. So many ciders and Troy is very knowledgeable. Stop in, get all the ciders!!

Fantastic service by a very nice man named Troy!

Super friendly and knowledgeable about their product. It's tucked away and easy to miss but if you haven't been here yet it's a must do.

One of the best places I’ve ever been! They have an incredible selection of ciders, nice calm atmosphere, and a very helpful bartender. Highly recommend going here!

Owner was very friendly and allowed us to sample additional ciders than what we paid for. Large variety of very delicious ciders and well organized from dry to sweet. I'm so excited to have a cider shop nearby with such a great selection!

Great spot to try new ciders that I haven't found elsewhere. The owner seems incredibly knowledgeable and is very supportive of customers trying out ciders they have not had before.

Great selection from all over, cute atmosphere, friendly owner!! Will be back to try a cider flight ✈️ 🥃🍻

Troy has an amazing cider collection, my boyfriend and I enjoy visiting often. It’s always a good time and there are always new things to try!

The Cider Barrel has everything cider you could ever want! Troy is friendly and knowledgeable with a fantastic selection at his store. I highly recommend checking this place out! (And he carries Crispin! 😁)

I loved visiting the Cider Barrel! This shop has so many different ciders from dry to tart to sweet! A flight of 6 samples is $10! My favorites were the vanilla bean cider along with a blackberry pear. The build your own 6 pack was $15 for 6 cans. This shop is also very clean. There was nothing sticky and there were even purse hooks on the wall! Definitely recommend stopping it!

Awesome selection!! Really comfortable and chill space also

Amazing place to visit for any lover, or would be lover of ciders. The most complete cider lineup this side of the Mississippi with a charming ambiance.Troy is humorous, warm and knowledgeable. You would never regret a visit to the cider barrel.

Amazing selection. Great service. Troy the owner really loves cider and how he explains each one shows it. I highly recommend it.

A gem! The largest variety of cider I've seen in one place. Probably 20 on tap and hundreds in bottles and cans. Enthusiastic knowledgeable service that makes you feel like an instant regular. Love this place!

Stopped by on our way to a hike and decided to do a tasting. Awesome experience, great recommendations, and walked out with some of the best ciders I ever tasted. Highly recommend!!

Amazing cider tasting and experience. A must do!

Immaculate vibes, incredible selection, and just the right touch of experimentation. 10 out of 10 would recommend. They also door dash.

If you're looking for a fun & casual spot to grab an afternoon cider, go ahead and cancel all of your plans. Once you have your first taste of cider, you won't want to leave! The customer service is beyond compare, and the cider selection is immense! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 will be back!

Super friendly, awesome tasters and a great atmosphere! 10/10 would recommend!!

Hands down great experience. Instead of doing a boring wine tasting come here. Delicious cider and great experience.

Fun environment, great selection.

No matter if you’re a big cider drinker, or you have yet to find a cider you like, I recommend you come to this spot! We had a wonderful time tasting ciders here! I haven’t been much of a cider drinker—until today! The owner Troy picked out a whole flight of tasters he thought I’d enjoy and everything tasted great. We left with an armful if cans to take home. On top of that, we had fun conversations with both him and the other patrons. Honestly one of the best tasting experiences I’ve ever had!

Huge variety! Wonderful and interesting host!!

Fantastic experience! Taken by some friends while in town. Space is a little small, but cozy. Large selection that took a little time to work through for a non regular cider drinker but the owner is very friendly and kept us entertained the whole time we were there. I definitely suggest The Cider Barrel for a visit. Especially on a hot day.

Great place to stop for a tasting and cider to-go. Reasonable prices on the flights and the owner is knowledgeable and engaging. You can get single cans, multi packs, and/or growlers to-go. The interior is beautifully designed and has a cozy feel to it. I would recommend local folks adding it to their to-do list this year and sharing it with visitors who come to town.

Super stoked, my local order was delivered much quicker than i expected, very kind, and great options.👍

Great place! The owner is very nice, friendly, knowledgeable, and has a good sense of humor. xD The Place is cozy, and drinks were super tasty! Thank you! Definitely recommend and will come again soon!

Loved this place ❤ Great value. Great service. Abundance of choices.

The owner was extremely was extremely knowledgeable yet not pretentious like I’ve experienced with some specialty places. He was very humorous and easy going. The prices were very reasonable and the atmosphere was amazing. It was truly a great time.

Found the Cider barrel by accident when a wine bar was closed. We had the cider tasting and told him what types like and to surprise us. They put together and wide range of ciders and had great time. Inventory is huge and took a lot home. If looking for something fun and new to do post covid it's a must stop.

Owner is friendly and helpful, and the space is warm and cozy.

Love this place, just visited with family and had a wonderful time. Everything on the flight was great! I believe the owner was working, he made us feel very welcome. Will definitely be back, would be fun with a group of friends. Stop, visit and purchase some for home. Nice being able to purchase a mix! Thanks for the experience.

This place is great! Huge selection of ciders to choose from and you can do samplers of all of them. We got a couple suggestion samples thrown in by the guy at the counter that threw our ranking system off because we had written them off, but they turned out delicious! They also sell mix and match six packs so you can try ciders you’re intrigued by but not willing to fully commit to. If I lived in Olympia I would be here regularly!

I came here a few days ago to meet up with some coworkers, but I'm incredibly socially awkward and introverted. Troy was very sociable and funny, which helped my partner and I to loosen up (the free tasters might have also aided in this). We ended up buying a taster flight of 6 unique flavors from their fairly extensive list along with a mix and match six pack to go. Troy was kind enough to help me connect with my coworkers and I ended up having a really fun time out truly socializing for the first time since the start of the pandemic. The atmosphere is cozy, the people are awesome, and the drinks are delicious!

This place was awesome! We were awaiting a table at Cascadia and stumbled in looking to burn a half hour. Easily burned the half hour but could have stayed for longer. Troy was super knowledgeable and helpful. Ciders were all delicious! Some really interesting options which we wouldn’t have otherwise chosen but still great! A must visit!!

Great place with the best selection ciders you can find. I would highly recommend this place. I will definitely be going back and bring back al my cider fans.

Amazing selection, incredible and generous service. Best selection of ciders in the area!

I went for the first time last night and am kicking myself for not having gone sooner. A local couple was also selling some being corn and tacos.
