Lost Boy Cider

This place is awesome and I would’ve easily given 5 stars but I didn’t really enjoy any of the ciders I tried…they lacked flavor and none of the four I tasted were sweet enough. I’m not a fan of super sugary drinks, but need at least a tinge of sweetness—which the ciders here were lacking. Everything else was great—servers were very friendly, large indoor and outdoor space, food truck on site, very dog friendly (indoor and outdoor), clean bathrooms, etc. I love cider and want to love their cider—will give it another try. Regardless of the cider, it’s a great place to spend an afternoon and play games/have strangers give your dog attention😂

Im usually a big cider fan and was excited to try out this spot. It fell short for me. I tried about 4 different ciders and honestly, I didn’t really feel like they tasted as ciders. It unfortunately felt like a type of water. The staff was really nice, they had a lovely older gentleman playing the guitar and a good truck on site that I did not test out.

Nice venue with plenty of seating and an interesting decor. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, I’m just not a fan of their unfiltered, unpasteurized cider. It tasted more like flat apple juice than the ciders I’ve grown accustomed to. Maybe I just picked the wrong cider (Comeback Kid), but it was a disappointing experience.

I learned about this place through a Del Ray farmers market. The person was so friendly and they had so many fun flavors that my husband and I decided to check it out. The place had fantastic ciders, a cozy atmosphere, and super friendly staff. A great spot to relax and enjoy unique flavors!

A solid spot for drinks after work. You can get a range of ABVs and the most diverse flavor offerings possible. These ciders tend to be on the dryer side, and have lower CO2 levels/bubbles than the big, bottled companies. I like that 4 out of 5 customers bring at least one dog to Lost Boy.

This was my first visit to Lost Boy Cider, and it was truly a 10/10 experience. From the delicious Margarita slushy to the warm and welcoming staff (special shoutout to Kerry, who is an absolute gem) and the relaxed, inviting ambiance, everything was perfect. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Had a great time hanging out with friends at Lost Boy Cider. The cider was really good and to our surprise, Daisy's Legacy Rescue was there with some friendly dogs and nice volunteers. We will definitely be back in town to visit again.

Highly recommend Lost Boy Cider Lost Boy Cider is a true gem. The cider is absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of flavors to enjoy, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. It’s a great venue for hosting events, catching up with friends, or simply stopping by with family to relax and enjoy a drink. The atmosphere is fun, laid-back, and very inviting. I definitely recommend visiting Lost Boy Cider — whether for a special occasion or just a casual day out.

For a gluten free pal (and for others, too) - this place is perfection. I love the selections of ciders that I can choose from, being GF!! The ambiance is so cute - it's quirky, inclusive, and is a large space with a lot of seating. There's also a lot of parking on site and in the area. I actually came here as they were hosting a cookie decorating event in partnership with another business, and my friend and I had a blast, and enjoyed the space, the cider, and the service. I can't wait to return and try more cider!

Wish we would have gone sooner, this place is awesome. Everyone was super friendly and there were so many ciders to try! We will definitely be back

Lost Boy Cider in Alexandria is like stumbling upon a secret garden of libation wonders. Their Lost Girl Wine, like Roxanne, will have you singing its praises louder than a bingo victory. And their Thai Rope Walker cider? It's a flavor fiesta, blending strawberries and Thai Basil in a concoction so refreshing, it'll make you want to do the cider dance. The atmosphere? It's roomy, bright, and airy--like the cider gods decided to bless us with the perfect drinking spot. Plus, it's dog-friendly, because why should humans have all the fun? And with food trucks on standby, your taste buds are in for a treat. So, grab your furry friend, your appetite, and head over to Lost Boy Cider--it's a must-go destination that'll leave you cider-ly impressed!

As this place is a cidery, does not serve food but they always have food trucks outside. Lost Boy always has the best people at the bar, so friendly so knowledgeable. I loved each time I visited this area and they always have something new to try. Sometimes it's Trivia/Bingo/Singing/Dancing? The Venue is very dog friendly. If the space was a bit larger, I think would be ideal. It's got huge ceilings but the bar makes lining up kinda awkward for seating area when it gets busy. I don't blame the place though cause that's not something to be able to change.

I don't know much about cider but still found Lost Boy Cider to be an awesome night out. I had my dog with me and the ladies behind the bar were so welcoming to me and my pup. I did a flight which I recommend because there are a million different ciders on the menu. I would look come back next time i am in the area.

Well it definitely doesn't replace the trusted cold beer or your favorite brewery but there is charm to be found here. If you're a fan of white wine you will enjoy what they have to offer, as that is the best way I can describe the taste. The staff was kind and let us sample multiple ciders before making a decision. Due to its uniqueness, I would recommend a try.

I'm almost never in Alexandria, but I'd come back here! An old friend who lives in the area suggested this place for a meetup and it was a good spot. The space is welcoming, with lots of tables both inside and outside. My friend recommended it because it is a place that is both kid and dog friendly; I saw several folks with dogs or small children there (I brought my two kids) There is an extensive selection of ciders. On the whole, they lean towards dry (which I like), but I saw they have some sweet ice ciders too. You can get a full pour or, if you're indecisive like me, get a flight. They have some ready flights or you can design your own. Prices are decent and the service is friendly. I appreciated my one bartender's patience in answering my questions. Very little food on site, but they usually have a food truck rotation - there was a place there when I went. Overall, not bad.

This was my first visit to Lost Boy Cider. Lost Boy Cider was hosting a night market with a permanent jewelry bar, tattoos, tarot reading and vintage clothing. There were plenty of people there checking the event out. They brew their own ciders and have plenty to choose from. There were only two people behind the bar so it took a little bit to get the drinks. I kind of wished they had a food truck there. I was surprised by the number of people who were waiting to get their piercings. This took the longest amount of time. There are plenty of events happening here so I would keep checking their social media to find an event that works for you.

We stopped by this cidery while in the area and at the recommendation of others. It located in a giant converted warehouse off of Eisenhower, just outside the main part of Old Town. There is plenty of free parking in the lots and street nearby. This is one of the few exclusively hard cider places in the area so I was very excited to try all the different flavors brewed onsite. There was a private event beginning at 5 pm so we weren't able to stay for long. There is a large indoor space with seating that opens to the outdoor patio. We ended up just sitting at one of the indoor tables since it was closing soon. I like that they have taster sizes as well larger sizes so we could mix and match. We ordered two sets of tasters (8 different ciders total) at the bar and still did not try them all. The service was quick and they showed us what each of the tasters were. The ciders were crisp, tart and unique with flavors like sake, starfruit, raspberry, habanero and plum. These weren't the sweet type of ciders which I appreciated. Will definitely like to return when we aren't rushed to leave for the private event.

What an unexpected surprise! They brew their own ciders and what unique flavors too! Not your typical sugary ciders. In fact their Bloody Mary cider was as tasty as the tomato versions I have had. Service was quick and they did a great job of explaining things. They have ample seating and a funky brewery feel. Definitely try the flights if you aren't sure about what you want or are just curious about their many different options.

We came here on a day that they had a dog day event. The ciders and frozen drinks are pretty good. They had some good seating inside as well as some picnic tables outside for overflow. The service here was great for what they had during the event but still had a decent line due to having a dog event. Still enjoyable!

Great spot. Went here with some friends after doing some candle making nearby. Plenty of parking on site and on the street nearby. I got a flight plus a 2oz pour. There was a food truck on site as the place doesn't really sell food. Go to the bar to order your drinks, grab a table inside or out, drink up and have fun.

Incredible cider selection. Homey atmosphere. The cutest dogs in the world. Friendly staff who are accessible and kind but not stuck up. It's the type of service where you know they appreciate you being there, whether a regular or a first timer. A favorite spot of ours for sure (except on Trivia nights when we inevitably lose. We blame the great cider).

Great place to enjoy good company and try new ciders. They have an outdoor patio and garage door that opens for the indoor seating. Dog friendly and cute merch!

Tried some delicious ciders! Didn't catch his name but the male bartender with a bun was so friendly and helpful!

Great cidery but wished that they had food available near them. Indoor and outdoor seating Easy walk to Metro.

Stopped in at Lost Boy for a drink pre dinner while we were visiting the area. I couldn't decide on just one so opted for Flight #2. Husband ordered a tulip of the Juicy. We both loved that the ciders were dry and not sweet at all but had tons of flavor. My favorite of Flight 2 was the Daydreamer, an apricot cider. The cider seemed a bit pricy but I suppose most cider is due to all the fruit they use. I wish I could have tried more but at 6.9% I was done! The Pixie Dust in particular looked yummy! The venue was big and open and there was plenty of outdoor seating. I would definitely go back if in the area again.

This place is fun. Hit them up as part of the the Carlyle Halloween Pub Crawl. Good ciders. Good friendly staff. Lots of choices to hit any taste bud fancy that you might have. No food, but you could bring your own.

Had a lot of fun coming here for my first time to celebrate Galentines Day. They had about 7 vendors. You can bring your own food or partake food trucks that they have scheduled. Good space inside to drink, they have uncovered outside space but only if the weather is good since there are no tents or heaters. Parking is limited but I was able to find parking on the street. Many of the parking spaces are reserved for the gym behind them. I enjoyed picking flavors and creating a flight. The music was nice, the bartenders were friendly and it was a nice laid back vibe. I look forward to coming back.

Alas all dry ciders, none sweet so we had sparkling apple juice. Which was delicious by the way!!! The bar was nice and bar tenders helpful. A good size crowd for early on a week night. What brought us was wanting to eat from the food truck outside ( Puerto Rican food, yummy). Plenty of seating inside and picnic tables with umbrellas outside. Glad we found this place and will be back. Free Parking near by.

Local. Original. Creative. Craft. Community. Just a few words to describe this great establishment. Enjoy their award-winning ciders, bust stick around for the food trucks, the trivia nights, and the amazing live music (listening to Hanoi Ragmen now!). Any business that has a tremendous product but also invests in its community will always get my business.

I might come here for a happy hour. The live music was a nice. But the ambiance is rugged and the cider was disappointing, it honestly tasted watered down, which is really odd.

Vibe and service is great. I really liked it there. The ciders, though, were a big disappointment. The jalapeño one had a weird aftertaste, and the rest tasted like watered down beer or rosé with vinegar mixed in. I don't love sweet ciders but these were much too dry and bland for me. I wanted to like this place but I wouldn't come back. HOWEVER if (very) dry ciders is your thing then I highly recommend because it's so chill and everyone is very nice.

Oh my goodness. I haven't been to the location but this cider.... Legendary. Sign. Me. Up. I am going to come to the actual location soon / the comeback kid is my favorite followed by pixie dust.

I LOVED it here. I came to visit my friend in the area and she knew she had to take me here - she was right. I really enjoy ciders and Lost Boy had all kinds of fun and interesting flavors from fruity and floral to spicy and warm. The space was great too. It's in a garage/warehouse so there's plenty of air and ventilation in the age of COVID. There was even some room to hold events and there was an engagement party set up with speakers and some video presentation equipment. Dogs are also allowed, which is always a plus for us! I can't wait to return and try new ciders. So many to choose from!

Decided to get drinks with a friend after I watched a movie at the AMC in the area. Love going to different breweries, so wanted to check it out and see the ciders. Overall, I would recommend this place for the service. Employees were really friendly and helpful, and loved their jokes and just conversation we had. It's nice when you go to a place and actually have a real conversation while ordering. It truly seemed genuine. You don't always get that. I also loved petting all the dogs! People drinking there were also friendly overall. The aesthetic was cool too. Loved the branding on the cider cans they were selling, and they had lots of fun stickers and decor up. It was Christmas in July themed, and they were playing Christmas music! Fun vibes all around. As for the cider, I didn't love all of the ones I had. Some of them tasted a little watery, almost reminded me more seltzers than ciders. I did like the Juicy cider, though, because it reminded me of beer. I do recommend this place overall, due to the vibes and people. Cider was alright, but I do like the place and want to come back again.

I am obsessed with this place. I can't believe it took me so long to get here... don't make my same mistake! Go now! I love their cider, love the flight options, love the staff, love the vibe, love the dogs, love the events, I legit love everything! I will be back, so so many times!

Great ciders Good service Clean Dog friendly Handicap accessible To go or on site

I've been to Lost Boy Cider too many times to count. They have amazing cider. I can only drink so much sweet hard cider so I appreciate that LBC has drier ciders. They have quite a few rotating ciders and seasonal ciders. I love trying all of their new ciders - from margarita cider to pickle cider and everything in between. You're able to build your own flight or choose a premade flight of 4 ciders. You can also take cans to go. They don't have food on site but have food trucks occasionally and you can bring your own food. The staff is always friendly and helpful. There is lots of parking for the building and they even allow dogs!

Terrible cider. Expensive, we ordered a flight tasted and left most of it. Do not recommend.

I want to like this place more than I do, but even still there are some really positive atmosphere vibes. Pros: Doggies allowed There is a play area in the back for kids. This is a godsend for those of us with kids who also want to drink (sometimes those two are related) Lots of options in drink I got their regular non-alcoholic cider for my daughter and had some - it's really good. Cons: Very limited days open Parking spots are kind of tight Honestly? The ciders are hit or miss. Some of them are pretty good (I think their signature comeback kid is the best one) but some of them I didn't want to finish. Not really a pro or con in my opinion, but they don't serve their own food. There is usually a food truck outside, and you can bring whatever of your own food that you want. Just a heads up for people who come hungry.

Lost Boy Cider is a hit! There aren't many cideries in the area, and this one has an especially fun vibe. The ceilings are high, the seats are comfy, there are board games, and yummy food trucks. It's in an industrial area with untapped potential. I'm glad they got here first. With so many intriguing flavors, we had to try a variety. Their flights are a good deal. Their ciders come in just about every color of the rainbow. My favorite was pixie dust! It matched my purple shirt. We didn't bring our daughter, but we definitely could have. The atmosphere was very child-friendly.

Great cider place in Northern Virginia. I visited multiple times based on its numerous partnerships with Beth Wolfe yoga and food trucks. It is a welcoming place with different varieties of cider to choose from. Its selection includes regular lineup and special seasonal varieties. Definitely a worthwhile place to visit if you are a local to the DMV area.

Chill and refreshing place to enjoy a cider or a few! They have a changing seasonal menu as well so always a nice thing to have a new option! Outdoor seating is great in the warm weather

I'm not a cider person, but this place changed my mind on that. Their ciders aren't typically super sweet. We got a flight just so that we could try a wide variety of choices and I thought it was just a bit overpriced. A flight for $16 that comes with four pours? Breweries typically do 5 pours for less or about the same price, but I'm not sure if it's just different for ciders. We got flight #2, which had the Thunderbold, Spicoli, Porch Sipper, and Pumpkin Head. My personal favorite was the Pumpkin Head. If you like fall and all things seasoned pumpkin spice and nice, then definitely try that one. They had a good amount of board games for you to play if you come with a group of friends and there is also ample seating! Overall, it's a super chill place and I'd recommend to anyone in the area!

You know how they say all who wonder are not lost????? Lost Boy has been on my radar for some time now so I'd glad I finally made it here!! If you are lost when it vibes to cider you should find yourself here immediately!!! Cider choices are plentiful and you have two flights to chose from and of course singles and full glasses. If you are really undecided and are feeling adventurous you can ask them to surprise you!! The young lady who assisted us what great. We opted for one flight the Lost Boy way and one that was a complete surprise! All the ciders were great as you could taste the fruitiness in each one.. my favs were Amelia and the Pixie Dust!! Not just because of the stunning color but the flavor palette full bodied and left you wanting more!! Bottle Rocket was a surprise hitter because it was calm and smooth at first but end the it was sassy and spicy on the finish. As if these are not plenty of reasons to wander and explore Lost Boy, a pour is a full pour, to the rim pour, don't spill it on your way to your seat pour!!! While they have no food out their own onsite they do have a healthy rotation of food trucks and you can bring your own food as well! The explorer in you can get lost and found and lost again over and over again here at Lost Boy Cider!!!

I finally managed to visit Lost Boy Cider for a cider tasting one rainy Sunday afternoon. The cider is located in an industrial style building. When I walked in - I noted the place is very popular - there were a lot of folks inside. Also of note, apparently Lost Boy is kid and dog friendly. There were a lot of kids running around and shrieking loudly I don't know if it is always like this - but if you are looking for a quieter, more intimate cider setting - your mileage may vary here. I ordered two tasting flights of ciders - which ultimately included the following ciders: Comeback Kid (6.9% ABV) (4 stars on Untappd) Wing Man (6.9% ABV) (2 stars on Untappd) Spicoli (6.9% ABV) (3.75 stars on Untappd) Hazy Hopped (6.9% ABV) (3.25 stars on Untappd) Amelia (6.9% ABV) (2 stars on Untappd) Blackberry Rhubarb (6.9% ABV) (3 stars on Untappd) Pixie Dust (6.9% ABV) (2 stars on Untappd) Bottle Rocket (6.9% ABV) (2.7 stars on Untappd) Overall, a mixed bag for me. In hindsight, overall, their ciders that are crisp, dry, and tart are my favorites. I was not a fan of their sweet ciders. The Comeback Kid and Spicoli were by far my favorite of the ciders I tasted. Next time when I come back, I will restrict my tasting flight to the dryer, crisper, ciders. Cool venue! #LostBoyCider

If you have never been to Lost Boys Cider, put it on your list of places to go. In fact, if you like Cider, drop everything and go now. This is my new favorite spot in Alexandria. I walked in expecting 2 maybe 3 flavors of Cider, but no. There were like 12 or more flavors to choose from including a Cider slushie! They brew the cider in house (ask to take a tour!) So everything is fresh and delicious. I recommend the Amelia (BlackBerry and lavender.) Most of their cider is dry with little to no sugar...just the way I like it for ultimate deliciousness without the sugar headache. In addition to the ciders, the place is adorable. It has a very warehouse outside/inside vibe. There are picnic tables and bean bags everywhere. It just has a great community vibe that is unpretentious and welcoming. Love this place.

This place has a really cool vibe with outdoor and indoor seating and some indoor tables that have an outdoor feel. There are quiet a few options of ciders, I recommend getting a flight if it's your first time. I've been to a lot of cider places and to be honest the taste isn't my favorite. Every cider I tried was on the sour side. But I only had four of the many on menu. I did enjoy the el fuego pepper cider, it meshed well with the sour taste. Prices are a little high for tasters. A flight costs close to $20. It's kid and dog friendly and you can bring your own outside food. Seems like a great place for groups.

Super cool warehouse vibe cidery. Indoor and outdoor seating for options to match your comfort level. The employees were welcoming, friendly, and helpful throughout the visit. I love that you can order flights - that's my favorite way to eat and drink. There are pre-built flights or you can choose your own adventure. It seems like LBC has some anchor options and then switches out new and seasonal flavors. Definitely take the time to ask the bartenders for recommendations - they were able to point me in the direction of my palate's preference (fruity or spicy, more or less sweet, for example). I'll be back to visit when I'm in Va again.

Lost Boy Cider is a unique craft cider house that brings an authentic take on hard cider. I have to admit that at first I was a little befuddled in my visit to this venue, because my knowledge hard cider basically extends Magners Irish Cider. However, I soon learned that there are many forms of cider, and Lost Boy produces something known as farm cider, a beverage that is lighter and with less of a bite than Magners. Here you'll find ciders infused with such flavors as pineapple and pomegranate. They even have a hop laced cider that is somewhat reminiscent of an IPA. However, for me, the clear winner was the Apple Cider Slushee, a drink that is everything I wish 7-11 could be. This drink will certainly be my go to on my next visit. Now, to be fair, Lost Boy Cider is going through some first week growing pains, but I'm certain those will be worked out in no time. The key point here is that they offer a unique cider experience with authentic recipes that are more akin to the way Cider was produced back in Colonial times.

Lost Boy Cider is one of the few cideries in the DC area. It's located in an old warehouse in Alexandria close to a kids play zone and other businesses. The space itself is beautiful. Their logo is painted on the front so you can't miss it. Inside, there's plenty of space for the hanging plants and tall wooden tables. There's a bar where you order or do tastings. Once you order your drink (I recommend the cider slushy), you can grab a table. They are new so their events will expand, but they hope to offer music, games, etc. The cider is made from apples in the region and is crisp and tasty!

This place does not disappoint and has a different concept that brings a breath of fresh air to the Northern Virginia area. I have visited a few times to savor the deliciousness of cider variety but also, the staff is very welcoming and attentive. The environment is cozy, with its modern vibe and comfort, you will most likely appreciate gathering your friends and spending some time here while you refresh with some goodness (Cider). A dog, kids, family friendly place. A mix of food trucks during the weeks makes for an even awesome time in just one place but outside food is also welcomed. I suggest you try the Spicoli and Comeback kid, my two favorite so far, but all others are just as delicious. I've tasted them all so far! See you soon at the cidery!

I visited here this past weekend and it was so fun!! There's ton of space on their outdoor patio picnic tables. I really liked their flights deal - you can get 4 from the rows of the menu or choose your own. It was fun to try the different flavors!! So cute! They also have cider packs you can buy (as well as merch) I feel like everyone has their own preferences so it's hard to review the many different cider options but I'll give it a shot. Cranberry seltzer - if you are into white claws, this is a safe choice. Feel the beet- this had a VERY potent beet flavor, but also not overwhelmingly sweet so overall pretty good. I forget the particular names of the ones we had but I enjoyed the early grey tea flavor as well as the passionfruit flavored one, which was fruity but not too sweet. They make so many cool flavors and rotate them seasonally. Can't wait to go back! Only downside I will say is they do not serve food :( so tip: bring some!! I spotted other tables had takeout boxes, and I brought snacks hehe. There were a good amount of people who brought their dogs along which was super cute. A dog-friendly place but hope you don't have allergies!

Finally a local cider brewery in Alex. A hidden gem tucked away next to the One Life Fitness. Lots of table and very airy as they keep two garage doors open. Drinks are a bit on the expensive as a pint of cider will set you back $9. We opted for a flight of the standard and experiment ciders. I must say the standard was MUCH BETTER.... Slasher (raspberry) was delicious Spiccoli (pineapple) was my #2 Wifey enjoyed the Hazy Hopped (recommend for beer lovers) I had a double take on the experimental as one tasted like Robitussin and the other like lavender body wash. Aside from the misstep on the flight we had a great time and coming back again soon!

Good vibes, good service, and good cider! Went today with a bunch of friends and it was packed. There are high tops, communal tables, benches, stools, two tops, couches, and rug space to sit. Small kids area. Good for a couple, a group, family, younger, older, eerrybody. Board Games for all to share and play. Garage doors open for nice air flow and great light. Comfy vibes for all. Rotating local food trucks onsite. Parking is easy, walking distance from Eisenhower metro. Staff is super nice and really good looking. And... you can bring your own outside food(at least for now, not sure if that's forever). Oh yeah, and the ciders are wonderful. They have a great variety of sweet, sour, hoppy, slushy, tart, and gritty ciders. Really something for everyone. We also had a chance to chat with the owner who seemed like a super genuine guy. We are excited to return, try more ciders and just chill!

Cider flights, a big open casual space to meet my friends, toys and a section for my 5 year old to play in, and baby changing tables in the restrooms? I think I've found my new local hangout Was here on Thursday and there was a food truck parked out front with bbq and bunch of tables to hang out at. Loved the chill vibe here and will definitely be back!

Cute cider flights. I like how they have indoor and outdoor options as well as various flight options. We got all flight1, flight2 and flight3. Some of them were to my taste, some of them were too bitter. We visited on a Saturday at 3pm and they had many people so we had to wait for a table. Plenty of parking spaces, they don't sell food so bring your own snack!

I have wanted to try Lost Boy for some time now, and so excited I finally had the chance! Lost Boy is tucked away in the Eisenhower. It is right by the metro, making for a great safe commute for those who want to indulge in a few extra beverages. The staff was friendly and very easily talked us into snagging a 6 pack to go! Clean and vibrant atmosphere with amble indoor and outdoor seating. I hope there will be heating lamps as the temperature drops!

Stopped for a quick drink before catching a movie. Parking was super easy but it was a Sunday and they didn't have a TV so that could also be a factor. The place is a lot easier to order and find a seat at now compare to the first few months. We ordered the cannonball and pixie dust and loved both of them. When we have more time we're definitely going to try their other wild flavors (and the slushie). It's also great that they have games to play so I could definitely see myself spending a good amount of time here.
