The Cider Barrel 168 4th Avenue West, Olympia, WA 98501

"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!"

"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!"

"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!!"

"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!"

"I started going to the Cider Barrel sometime last fall. A friend and I usually go to the Gig Harbor Cider Swig every year to try new stuff but of course it was canceled due to pandemic. So we went to this place and totally stocked up, each buying a variety and then tasting in my backyard, from a distance (see pic). The place is super cute (love the barn doors), the owner super friendly (and he challenges me to try new stuff plus I challenge him to find stuff I haven’t tried). I look forward to future events there and when stuff is more normal so I can hang out and drink on tap. (Not only does he deliver but he is open to working out special pick up times; much appreciated)."
