Bushel & Bee Taproom

Best variety of drinks I've had at a brewery in a very long time! Each drink was incredibly distinct and delicious in its own way. Sometimes a flight can taste very similar, so I was very pleased. The only issue was the flight was put together pretty chaotic, no names were written down, so I wasn't completely sure which drinks are which.

A nice quiet escape from the busy town. The staff were so friendly and helpful. There’s an awesome selection of ciders and beers, and they have a bunch of games. Great place.

New fave place! Cozy spot with lots of board games, but I was stoked to find coloring books and sharp colored pencils. Great selection of beer and cider on tap - my hubs loved the cider slushie. Outdoor and indoor seating - love the patio for people watching. Definitely will be back!

I bought beer here and later discovered it was already expired. The can showed a production date from 2022, which means the product was long past its shelf life. Very disappointed that expired products are still being sold. Please check your stock more carefully.

Nice little taproom with flights if you want to sample them. Dog friendly. Took a little waiting to get help and a little asking to identify what we wanted to taste. Decent brews. Nothing exceptional except for the blackberry mead.

This was the perfect place to stop and hang in on a chilly day in Leavenworth! It’s tucked away on the second floor of a little indoor mall on the main drag so it wasn’t too busy when we stopped by. The best part was they allow dogs inside so it was a great spot for us to warm up with our pup! The beer selection was great, there’s lots of cozy seating, and a ton of games to play while you hang out. Would totally recommend to anyone visiting Leavenworth!

Old review from over a year ago at bottom.... What happened? They must have changed hands or management. No longer a mead dominant spot. They only had 3 on tap and 6 bottled (they charge to taste) and none of them were what we hoped we would come back to. Now this is a way more bougie, spendy place but if that's your style, then stop there. The service was super snooty and stand offish, like we were putting him out being here. Only one short fire table for outside seating. No longer a recommend for me. Old review... Great little spot for a different drink...mead (they have wine and ciders as well). Watch the taistings...they cost, even though they didn't tell us that up front (not till we got a bill). We bought drinks and a couple bottles but she never waved the tasting fee so, that was a new one. We like the options, cozy atmosphere and available bottles to go. Dog friendly, out door fire pit (1), bar seating and good music playing.

I am embarrassed by how many times I frequented Bushel & Bee during my short stay in Leavenworth. This taproom has so many unusual treasures and I wanted to try too many! Huge mead selection, lots of ciders and sours, a great non-alcoholic selection, and so much more. We had a group of 9 adults and there was something for everyone. We were given excellent recommendations and suggestions, and everyone was so nice! Bummed we didn't get to try the rose slushie (we always just bought things to take with us) but we'll have to save that for the next trip. They also have a great selection of merch!

Visit this place every time we come to Leavenworth. They have an unusual selection of alcoholic ciders and drinks. The inside is very casual and our table had a shelf full of games which we like to play. Don't expect any service if you walk in and sit down. You have to order at the bar and take your drink to a table. We witnessed a couple sitting and got annoyed at the long wait not realizing it is a taproom and they walked out. There is a wall that blocks the view between the tables and bar so it is difficult for the bartender to see anyone seated.

I'm new to ciders but realize this place has a better than average variety as well as several beers on tap. Even crazier? They have colouring books, coloured pencils and board games. Much better than sports on a big screen. Not sure about the dog friendly policy. Generally when it's time to drink, I leave rover at home. But, to each their own. One nice option is indoor/outdoor seating. It's clean, comfortable and the staff are terrific. Not terribly loud, just a truly great hang! 05/25

I like this! Not too crowded. Good selection. Good seatings. I had a drink here while i waited for my friend to return an item. Good hidden spot.

We loved that there were several options to choose from and that we could choose indoors or outdoors! Since I don't love beer, I always try to find places that have some good ciders to try, and this one had a really yummy cyser--the Honey Badger YUM--think mead and cider!! They also had our favorite Finn River cider--black currant...it's sooo good...tart and sweet! Comfortable and clean and friendly service! You can't go wrong with a stop here!

Stopped by here during the Leavenworth Oktoberfest Festival. The spot has a very traditional tavern feel, but also a nice deck off the Main Street. The service was great, the bartender was very helpful in walking us through the different types of mead they had. The drinks were good, had to try some of the mead they had available. Overall would stop by again.

Can't leave Leavenworth without having cider! Although the offerings are from other breweries, they have a vast array to choose from. Located inside the 9th & Front Shopping Platz. It offers a cozy indoor and outdoor dog friendly areas to enjoy. Tea-ing off was the choice cider. It was refreshing and not too sweet. Almost like an Arnold Palmer (half tea, half lemonade) After two and you're good. Beer-tender was quick to pour and offer sampling when asked.

Fantastic taproom with adjacent parking in downtown Leavenworth! Great selection and atmosphere.

While in Leavenworth we hit up this small but excellent watering hole. Solid selection of Ciders and Beers and all in a warm inviting atmosphere. There are games available to sit and sip and play. The staff is knowledgeable and willing to help you find your perfect beverage. Bring all your 21+ and older friends and enjoy a great beverage and relax after a day of shopping in Leavenworth WA.

This is such a cool spot to hang out! Not only is the cider fantastic, but there are plenty of games and both indoor and outdoor seating, making it perfect for a date or a casual hangout with friends. I especially enjoyed the whiskey cider, while my wife loved the lemon basil--but honestly, all the flavors were delicious. The service was excellent, which made the experience even better!

This place was SO cool. Jordan was very friendly and took us into the bottle shop area and helped us pick out exactly what we were in the mood for. Very knowledgeable. Then the owner came in with her very sweet big doggy and had a great convo with us! 11/10 would recommend this place to everyone. We're from St Pete Florida, land of a dime a dozen breweries and this place would crush them all. The quaint and comfy vibe is honestly exactly what we were in the mood for. If you're in Leavenworth, this place is a MUST after dinner.

A great newish beer spot I just found in a favorite tourist town. Try the hazy and btw they have a whole cooler filled with non-alcoholic / NA beers. ALSO they automatically offered a glass and pored it.

Well, despite Yelp having the entry for Bushel & Bee as a cidery this is more filled with guest taps of different cideries. Most of them are local but there are some that are a bit farther away too. I was hoping that they make their own cider but I didn't see any sign of that. Maybe they do but the timing that was available to me they didn't have any of their own. Not that I am complaining. They have a great menu with great selection of ciders so you are bound to find one you would enjoy. The taproom is somewhat small on the inside but can still take a fair amount of people and there is outdoor seating as well.

Cozy little place to try some great draft beers. Wouldn't hesitate to stop in again when visiting this charming town.

Delightful little niche for delicious beer and excellent service! Bushel & Bee Taproom offers several varieties of beers on-tap, all served up in a comfortable, welcoming setting. Rhia was our beer-tender. Not only was she knowledgeable, she was the epitome of friendliness. She had her sidekick "Suki" with her, which elevated our experience even more. Stop in for a beverage and enjoy! They have beer in cans, in their cooler to-go.

How pleasant to find this little nook situated in Leavenworth's bustling town center. The environs were comfortable and inviting with cushioned seating offered across the inside and outdoor area. This dainty taproom serves a whole host of ciders, obscure sours/ wild ales -- for those who fancy a more tart bite -- and refreshing non-alcoholic concoctions to boot. I did much enjoy my Peach Sour from Meadowlark Brewing which apparently is located in Montana! The board games are numbered in the many and offered some fun ways to pass the time prior to check in at our hotel (where our long overdue shower awaited). Dog friendly, in addition, and a local watering hole! Because they serve fruited beverages, there were some fruit flies which management has noted and has put some measures in place to attempt to quell the hoard and prevent unwanted swimmers in your choice beverage. The coasters were provided to prevent the latter and the worker was actively bug zapping during her shift. It looked to be a tiring a task as the zapping did not cease the entire hour we were there. Kudos to her and her diligence!

It was a blistering hot day in Leavenworth (98 degrees, way above the norm) and we were spending as much time indoors and in the air conditioning as possible. We stopped in here for a quick flight, there were not too many meads on tap but we put together a flight of beer with one cider and one mead. The bartender was great, the air conditioning was cold and the drinks were good. There's a cute dog on site that likes to be pet as well.

If you're looking for a great chill spot to grab a drink in Leavenworth, this is it! It's small and cozy, and we were pleasantly surprised to find a DJ on a Friday night. There's both indoor and outdoor seating available. They don't serve food, but you're welcome to bring your own. Additionally, it's a fantastic bottle shop if you want to pick up something to take home.

I stopped in at B&B twice during our Yelp's Leavenworth Weekend last fall. It's tiny and a bit hard to find, but worth the hunt. Their taplist included beers and ciders from near and far, and of course the hit of the weekend was their delicious slushy. By the time I got there for my second visit the bar was full of familiar Yelp faces, and we all had a lot of fun (some might say too much fun) trying the various drinks and bevvies offered. If we do another Leavenworth Weekend, I would love to do a full-fledge event here so we could show it off to other Elites! Thank you Bushel & Bee - there was a taproom hole in Leavenworth and you definitely filled it.

Enjoyed the comfy atmosphere of the place. Had a beer there and then decided to try two of their meads. I'm not much of a mead drinker but they were so good I bought two bottles. The lady up front was very helpful too when asking for the bottles which were the last ones from the shelves at the taproom! Would go back there when I'm back in town!

It serves some of the finest cider I've ever tasted and is among my favorite American taprooms. You should know that this place is really small, gets really busy and packed if you plan on visiting Leavenworth. It's usually quite difficult to find a seat. There's outdoor seating if you'd rather not brave the cold weather. They sell pricey, little nibbles like beef jerky and chips, but they don't serve actual meals. They provide a wide selection of seasonal ciders and beer blends that are both delicious and reasonably priced, and they can compete with any bar or taproom in the country. Just a friendly reminder that Bushel & Bee's does not allow anyone under the age of 21, so if you happen to be planning a vacation there, keep that in mind. However, pets are welcome.

Super cool atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating, with cushions and blankets for use outdoors. Great variety of ciders! I highly recommend the seasonal Snow Globe with its edible sparkles! Plenty of beers and a very good hot cider as well. Friendly staff and great vibe!

Bushel and Bee offered up a discount flight so a visit was definitely in order. Of 5 choices I made, I enjoyed 2 a lot, 2 were OK and the last didn't like. So not bad. The pumpkin cider was easily the best and like most pumpkin flavored menu items - get it while you can. It has a nice sweetness to it, but not too much. The lemon Basil cider was also very good and could see it sticking around awhile. I got the Peanut butter stout and Hazy River IPA, two of my favorite types of craft beers, but have had better of both so I wasn't wowed. The biggest disappointment for me was the mandarin duck cider. Didn't like the fla or or viscosity. If you're curious I'd go for a sample rather than a pour. Setting is chill with music and both indoor as well as outdoor seating and some games to enjoy. If you want some ciders with some beer options thrown in while about town, Bushel and Bee is easy to find.

The ambiance was great, and the ciders are amazing. The bartender was very fun and sweet and very knowledgeable, and suggested exactly what we were looking for.

My 500th review! Wow, time flies. We were in Leavenworth this weekend for an event and had some free time so we stopped off at Bushel & Bee Taproom. We sat at the bar and I had a cider flight and then I had a full pour of the One Tree Pumpkin Cider. This was delicious so I bought some to take home with us. We had very friendly service and even chatted with the owner as she came by. There is a good vibe in this place with everything from the staff, interior decorations to the drinks offered. There's a variety of seating areas and games and such to use while there. There is a section of bottles to go and a refrigerated section of offerings as well. This place is hidden in the upstairs section but is worth the find. Great job Bushel & Bee!

Excellent service, atmosphere, and drinks! Plus nice merch to purchase, such as ale horns.

I love the cozy coffee house feel of this taproom. It's smaller inside but theres lots of seating and on a rainy day a warm little taproom is perfect. Dogs are definitely welcome here. There's even a basket by the door near the patio filled with dog toys and bowls for water! Their menu selection was really neat. I saw pineapple Matcha and had no idea what to expect but had to order a glass of it. It was surprisingly good! Kind of a basic cider taste with a little more sour due to the pineapple of course but no trace of matcha for me. It's a solid cider anyway!

Solid spot in Leavenworth! Love coming here for a drink and to relax. The inside is small, but it's cute. Plenty of seating. Darker, pub vibe, and a laidback, casual vibe. There's games, books, and more if you're looking to hang out with friends and do something while you're here. They also sell bottles to-go if you're looking for something to bring back to your cabin/hotel while you're staying in town. They have a solid selection of local ciders and beers on tap. We stayed a while and had a few, and everything I tried, I really liked! Service was also great. Definitely a staple stop while I'm in town!

We came here mid afternoon on a Saturday and the inside was pretty much packed. We were hoping to do a tasting flight but the bartender that was helping us said he had to check with the other bartender. The other bartender replied and told him she had been telling other customers no for flights that day because she didn't want to do them, so unless the bartender that was helping us wanted to do flights, we couldn't order it. We thought that was an interesting reason not to serve flights but decided to each get a glass of something to try. The bartender was helpful in recommending some options. We particularly appreciated that he offered to turn on a fire pit outside so we wouldn't be cold. The staff seemed to be checking on us while we were enjoying our drinks though because there was still a small bit left when both our glasses were taken away. It was a cozy place and the ciders were good, just wished we could have done a flight so we could try out various drinks.

As a local, I saw with 100% credibility and experience, this is a place to be! The most vibrant but simultaneous chill place in town! I've been to bars around the world, but. Bushel & Bee has a potent ability to attract the best bartender around! They're all amazing, but Eric especially is PHENOMENAL! As a local I can go anywhere in town, but the amazing charisma of allll their bartenders (again, Eric especially) is precisely the gravity that draws me here every time! My mini schnauzer and I agree, this is our favorite "third place"

Bushel and Bee has a huge list of ciders and beers on tap. The staff is super fun and accommodating, and they even have games from our childhood that we could play! They are located in the heart of downtown Leavenworth, walkable from everything.

Nice atmosphere and love that dogs can go inside. Staff wasn't overly friendly but decent enough. Would visit again

We enjoyed an excellent flight of Mead. Fairly spendy at ~$42, but with an average alcohol content of 18%, perfect for sharing between our group of 4 and a worthy calling! Hands down group favorite was the Denmark Mead with some bourbon after-tones. I personally enjoyed the blueberry Mead. It had just enough tartness to tame the sweetness and leave me wanting for more! The Blackberry Mead was good, but some mixed reviews due to the sweet finish. Unfortunately, the American Mead was a little on the light side and closer to water. Hands down, our favorite tasting in Leavenworth!!!

Great selection. Outside and inside seating. Smaller place but good atmosphere. Dog friendly. Super excited they have Mead, Ciders, and classic beers. Was searching for a good German style beer. And I found Vitus Wienstephqner. Sooo good, a blend of malt, hint of sour and buttercream. The outdoor seating is right by the main road so there is a bit of traffic noise. The bartender was very helpful and patient with us. "No rules" -Bartender quote of the day. They do full pours and tasters. There are a lot of places to try around her but so far this is my Favorite.

The husband of mine is just an absolute cider fiend and after being dragged to fancy gourmet restaurants all weekend he was in the mood for a chill informal place. He saw the reviews here and suggested we hang out for a bit after dinner. It's a really relaxed atmosphere that's low lit and sporting a cool boho vibe with cushioned seating, board games, and quirky decor. I loved the brick walls mixed with the wood and wrought iron all complimented by the industrial Edison style lighting. My favorite part of this place was the live terrariums that are the centerpieces at all the tables. Just when you think- oh it's just a glass globe with a plant, look a little closer and there's a little plastic animal that's different in each of them. So much character! They had a great selection of ciders and beer to choose from. Both bottles in the cooler and tap available. We also love any place that has a bunch of nerds playing board games because then we feel like we're in our element surrounded by our people! We look forward to returning soon on our next Leavenworth adventure!

Great spot especially if you are into Meads. Had a great time trying a few drinks and playing games

Cute little taproom that is dog friendly in the upstairs section of the building! We came here for flights and ended up playing round after round of childhood boardgames like Connect Four. The space is quite small but people move in and out rather quickly. There is a back patio deck as well for sunny afternoons. They had a unique offering of beers and ciders that kept everyone happy.

The most knowledgeable and attentive staff. The self proclaimed "cocktail nerd" earns her nickname! She answered every question we had and knew exactly what we wanted even when we couldn't figure it out ourselves!!! I enjoyed every item I tried, which is a first out of any tasting experience I've ever had (out of beer, wine, ciders, mead, bourbon)

Such a fantastic little place. Amazing staff will help you decide if you're a little overwhelmed with the selection. I simply explained what I like to drink and ended up with a fantastic beer. Staff is seriously knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. Relaxing atmosphere with enough comfortable seating. My new favorite in Leavenworth.

I like this place for the relaxed atmosphere and variety of ciders. I found my new favorite cider here. Great seating options and dog friendly. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is on account of the bartender not being too friendly. She seemed very friendly and talkative to people that are obviously "regulars". I was solo and had never been here previously. She barely made eye contact and came off as somewhat rude. I noticed that she made sure to point out leisure activities for couples to do while enjoying drinks. I would've appreciated the same. Some places don't feel lonely when you're alone. This one does.

This place is a little gem in Leavenworth! There ciders are really good we did a flight but honestly our favorite was the jalapeño lime and the snow globe. Get there earlier cause this place gets packed .

Cozy vibe, great beer and great service. Lots of options if you're in the mood to play any games, or even color! Reasonably priced. Lots of choices for canned beer to-go as well.

WOW the ciders and mead here are amazing. They aren't too sweet which I like. (About $15 with tip added for a tasting of 5) Nice and refreshing for a hot day, great service and beautiful patio. Our favorites were the rose CBD mead and passionfruit guava cider but they were all amazing.

They have casual indoor and outdoor seating with misters during the summer. Chill and relaxing atmosphere, free variety of board games to play while you sip (or chug) and the bartenders are very personable and knowledgeable about their beer/cider selection! No food here, but it's close to everything. Bushel and Bee is a tradition for us at this point every time we visit Leavenworth. Check it out!

We celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary at this fun establishment. The backyard porch is the perfect way to end an evening. The cider was delicious. I loved seeing all the dogs. The bartender was amiable. We will be back.

Great spot to visit, but come early when live music. Very small place. The IPA was good and environment was relaxed and friendly.

Do yourself a favor and check this place out! I came in about an hour before they closed on a Sunday, so it wasn't too busy. Ambiance is really mellow (perhaps more lively with more folks in it), and there were fire pits, board games, and a great playlist on. I know almost nothing about beer and the bartender, Eric, was so patient with me and talked me through the different options they had until I found one I liked. He was also continuously working to keep the place tidy which was nice to see. Overall a great experience!

Will be my ultimate favorite from now on! Been to Leavenworth three times in the last few months and I was finally able to stop by and enjoy a drink here. The atmosphere is very chill, the bartenders are so friendly and knowledgeable. I'm fairly new to the beer game, but a cider aficionado and this place has a wide selection of beer, cider and even CBD beer/cider. Plenty of board games, and a outside patio. They are dog friend and apparently working on a license to become kid friendly. Will always come back!

This place was just way cool. Great selection of cider, and some beer. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. It's a great place to sit down with a flight and sample some tasty brews and cider. Check it out!
