Review Summary
Scion Cider Bar is widely praised (about 90% of reviews) for its massive cider selection, with hundreds of options on draft, in bottles, and cans—reviewers often call it “the best cider selection in the USA” and note unique, international, and gluten-free choices. Staff are described as knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful, adept at guiding both newcomers and enthusiasts to ciders matching their preferences, and enhancing the experience with recommendations and information. The atmosphere is celebrated as clean, inviting, relaxed, and spacious with ample indoor/outdoor seating, board games, dog-friendly patios, community events (bingo, trivia, live music), and a modern ambiance. Food options are mostly snacks like charcuterie, but outside food is welcome, and several mention good partnerships with local eateries. Consistent criticisms (about 10% of recent reviews) point to flight pricing/value—some feel $6 preset flights lack flexibility or have reduced in size, and a few cite an unfriendly bartender or lack of personalized service. Most negative experiences are rare and do not deter repeat visits, as overall vibes and cider quality remain highly rated.
