Portland Cider House

Great place to enjoy some cider and some snacks. Especially enjoyed the Mac and cheese bites and the chicken tenders, though their tater tots aren't the best

Great place. Great ciders. Fun flight options. Good snacks.

Amazing selection of cider. Never tasted spicy cider before. The barman was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Great place to grab a cider! Staff was great and were able to get our orders out quick (even with a large group). The space looks small but can fit a larger group. Love all the artwork on the walls and they even have some for sale. Will be back soon.

Specifically went in to find the sorta sweet cider after having a hard time finding it anywhere. Unfortunately not even here had it. The bartender informed us that the company is rebranring and may re-release it. A little disappointing but at least we can stop searching. $10 for a flight of 6 and would go back for half of them. Fun little trivia cards and games that would be great for a date or friends.

I am a fan of ciders and this is the perfect place for anyone who likes hard ciders. First of all, the location on Hawthorne Boulevard is amazing, for a nice stroll. They have a huge collection of their own ciders, plus rotating guest taps. The best way to try multiple flavors is to order flights. I tired the margarita jalapeno, the ginger mint, the blackberry, the warm mulled cider and a few others which I don't remember, and I could not decide which ones I liked more, as they were all unique and delicious. You can buy their merch and growlers as well. Its a great place for cider enthusiasts and you can spend quality time there sampling all the different varieties. With respect to alcohol content, they range from 4 to about 8, which means there is something for everyone. Small bites of food are also available. Highly recommended.

A great spot for local ciders, both from their brand and a small selection from other cideries. It was unjustifiably quiet on a Friday night, so come in and make it busy. My favorite that night was the McIntosh single varietal.

I'm a huge fan of hard Cider and this was a great find. I say down ordered 1 flight and tried the semi sweet varieties. Then I drank 2 pints of my favorites and left with a 64 oz growler full of my favorite. I'm going to make this a destination pit stop anytime I come back to Portland!

There were not very many people there when we popped in for my friends birthday. We ended up at happy hour which was cool because we saved a few bucks. The flights are good and you can try most of what they have on tap with one flight. We had a hummus plate and some tator tots and both of them were similar to pub food. The service was great and both people working we friendly and brought everything out pretty quick. They also have a large selection of games to play if you've got some friends and some time.

Cute pub with nice windows and plenty of seating and games for a low key hang-out. We came on a Saturday night and it was busy but not packed. We got a tasting tray which was reasonably priced and had a wide variety of ciders. We tend to like the sweeter ciders so leaned that way, and the ciders managed to be sweet and flavorful without being cloying. Didn't try the food this time around but seemed like they had a good array of options.

I just heard they're closing this taproom at the end of April 2024, and a new cider company, La Familia Cider, will be taking over the lease opening May 1, 2024. So if you have time to pay them a visit during April, do so (Portland Cider is still going strong, they just aren't going to have a taproom). We've enjoyed their ciders in cans for several years now, but this was the first time we actually visited their taproom in person. The guy working the taps was very friendly and knowledgeable, and we enjoyed visiting with him. Since they have so many delicious ciders to choose from we opted to get a flight and then purchased some cans from their cooler to-go. They also have a small food menu that looked pretty good (and the food menu has some gluten-free options). Also, the restrooms were clean & they were playing some great early 90s tunes while we were there.

Such a hidden gem. Randomly stumbled across this place and it ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. They have very unique flavors of cider. My personal favorite was their seasonal chai cider. I liked it so much I bought some cans to- go. I like how they offer flights here and that they are able to bottle the beet straight from the tap for you. The place itself is super cute. They have some board games you can play and I like the wooden décor. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is into ciders and likes chill vibes.

I always walk by here so I was excited to finally stop in for a drink today! I love hot apple cider, so I ordered the hot mulled cider and it was a cozy and spicy treat that made me warm inside in this cold day! Cider is my beverage of choice, so I couldn't stop at just one and tried the tangerine dreamsickle next. It was so amazing and the vanilla really stuck out! It was smooth, sweet and refreshing. There is also a selection of beers for those who don't like cider, but if you like cider as much as I do, this is the place to be! I also love the huge selection of game. We played scrabble for so long and it was such a fun way to spend a chilly afternoon. Located in Hawthorne by lots of other shops and restaurants, it's worth checking out.

First time here, had such an enjoyable experience! Coming from SoCal, I've never seen a cider house before. This place had so many flavors to choose from. Each sip of cider hit a different spot on your palate as well as a nice soft aroma. My 2 favorite flavors were the Tangerine Dreamsicle and the Sangria. We purchased 2 cans to go- which, I have to mention, were canned straight from the tap! Amazing. Also, this spot has a cozy/ home-y environment with board games and wooden walls, it felt like we were transported to a cabin in the middle of downtown Portland. Can't wait to come back! Thank you Marcel and the other lovely cider specialist, I'm so glad we stopped by.

I'm not much of a cider drinker but I came here for my brother and he enjoyed the entire flight. I on the other hand really thoroughly enjoyed the pretzel that I ordered it was better than the ones you get on the street in New York!

Love the variety of options here and if you are indecisive like me, you can get the cider flight and choose up to 6 different ciders. Out of the ones I tried, I like #6 Portland Cider P.O.G the most and #4 Portland Cider Sangria is a close second. If you have a sweet tooth then I think you will love them as well! Service is fast and the staff is nice. I had a really great time here! Highly recommend this place!

A great experience for sure! Neither of us are huge fans of beer, but were excited to try the fruitier, sweeter ciders offered here. They offer a great tasting flight for an affordable price that allows you to try 6 different flavors. You should definitely take advantage! Our favorites were the guava, the prickly pear, and the pineapple, although I wouldn't put too much weight into our top picks. I definitely think it's worth for you to just try and get whatever you think you'll like! The individual flavors really come through, but regardless, all of the ciders had a very flavorful, refreshing base. They also had a pretty extensive list of games to play, which made for a fun activity to do while trying the ciders.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. So drink cider! Portland Cider House is a great spot for cider drinkers. It has several different cider flavors that are worth trying in the Hawthorne neighborhood. Fortunately, we came in at just the right time because for the three of us, we snagged one of the last group tables. This place was busy in the late afternoon on a Saturday. The space is large enough, where you order at the counter to get your cider. Because of how many different ciders they had, I did a flight, which is a great way to explore the different ciders here. The flight includes six different tasters that you can build. Of the ones I tried, I loved the bourbon cider the most, as it was less sweet and fruity, with a bold flavor from the bourbon. But really, everything I tried was tasty. I recommend checking out Portland Cider House if cider is your thing. The menu features so many different flavors that will satisfy any taste bud. And you can take cider home if you don't want the fun to stop.

Damn that's some good cider... they are out of the POG cider that everyone is talking about, but the have a newly introduced Cider - Mango Mimosa. If you like sweet it's good, but steer clear if you want dry. Friendly staff - and provided lots of info about the ciders. Also they have some fun artwork available for purchase.

Everything was great here - service, speed of getting your order, variety of great ciders, and tons of board games! I opted for a flight while my family snacked in some tater tots and water while playing games. Parking is free in the neighborhood!

While walking past the Portland Cider House on my way to meet friends for HH, the sign in the window highlighting Hot Mulled Cider caught my eye and lured me in! It was a cold night, I love cider, so they had me at "hot, mulled." Once inside I was impressed with the robust selection of ciders on tap and wished I could tell my friends to meet me here! Never been a fan of beer, but hard cider is for me what a micro beer is for others. The mulled cider really hit the spot! I definitely want to try some other ciders and try their food. Located in the heart of SE Hawthorne with so many shops, restaurants, and the Baghdad next door, it's a no brainer that I'll be back!

This place has a wide array of ciders. Half of the menu are ciders made from Portland Cider House and the other half of the menu is a rotating list of ciders from other companies. This place has by far some of the most unique ciders I've ever tasted. I had a tamarind cider, sangria cider and grape cider. All new and delicious ciders. I did a flight of six 3 ounce shots. I didn't like all of them but there is for sure a flavor for everyone!

The cider house is the perfect place when you want a beer after thrift shopping all day, but have had too many or cider is more your thing. Fetch. The long tables can accompany larger, rowdy groups who may or not be former flash mob participants. Thriller impromptu dance party! Being it was right near Halloween, there were quite a few costumes drinking with us. The cider is alright, I tried like thirty of them and I didn't find a cohesive greatness among any of them. The staff tried to help, but maybe this cider type/base of cider just isn't for me. Worth a stop in any beer crawl or cider-enthusiastic moment.

I am not much of a cider guy, but my wife and daughter are, so we went here. This place has an extensive selections of ciders anc a single beer ( an ipa) on tap. There is plenty of room at the location, and games to play to pass the time.

Good cider, good vibes! We came here in the middle of a walk, we passed it and couldn't resist going in! Happy hour deals are good - featured an inexpensive soft pretzel which was pretty good. Both of the ciders we tried were delicious, will definitely be coming back here!

Stopped in with the g/f for lunch and to fill up our growler. Very pleasant and informative staff, simple but satisfying menu. We ordered the turkey bacon avocado sandwich, Cajun tots, and a flight of tasters. Nice to have a flight option, we certainly had our own favorites. And the sandwich was tasty (we split it) and the Cajun tots were very Cajun. Along with the growler (we picked a tasty semisweet Concord grape cider), total was $45 plus tip. Very reasonable, we'll be back again.

Lots of variety at the Portland Cider House! They have plenty of flavor options and lots of great guest taps. I particularly loved their POG cider. Omg so good. They had really fruity ciders and dry ones as well. Great place for anyone who enjoys cider.

While visiting Portland I found refuge for my cider addiction in a nice haven called Portland Cider House, a place where I could release my inhibitions judgement free; which if you're a cider fan I'm sure you've had your share of criticism and shame from your Lager loving friends. This place was amazing, 6 flight ciders for $10 you can't beat that. My partner and I had two flights each and could have gone for three easily, but this all took place on a Monday and I'm responsible of course. Each cider was so flavorful, and to my surprise the menu was not bombarded with sweet sugary ciders. I def recommend this place for any cIder enthusiast or alcohol lover in general with a exquisite palate. If you're not a cider fan, this place will convert you, I promise.

I love killing some time here and sample various ciders. I usually get about 2 flights, 6 ciders for $10 each, which usually works out to a pint per flight. Just watch out, #28 is a beer! There is free wifi, and they have some delicious food, but you can always bring in your own food. My #1 favorite cider right now is the 3 Peppers by Seattle Cider Company. It reminds me of sweet relish stuffed peppers my father used to pickle at home. A little bit of heat, but its sweet. I would have to say my second favorite is the Cherry Perry by Carlton Cyderworks.

Low key cider spot with a lot of ciders on tap. Guest taps and their own Portland Cider on tap make it a fun place to try some pints or grab a sampler tray. I love their Passion Fruit Cider. Just the right amount of sweetness and dry tartness to balance it out.

If you like cider, check this place out! It is located by several stores so I had fun exploring and shopping in this area. We came during happy hour which we got a few items off the HH food menu. They have a good amount of cider (e.g. dry, sweet) to choose from so I'm sure you can find something to your liking. We went with a flight and the drinks were good! I chose all ciders from them which I like the sangria and pineapple rose the most. We ordered tots and pretzel to share among the group. The tots were crispy and flavourful. We had a good time here and I look forward to come back!

Who knew there would be craft cider in this town like this. Pleasant surprise. Parking is available along Hawthorne as well as the side streets. The place looks quite modern, with plenty of wood trim all over the place. Nice and quiet too. I chatted a bit with the staff and this location isn't their production facility. Just a heads up. When I went, there were some 11 in house blends and another 25 or so guest ciders. I actually didn't know what to pick. The flights here are a bit smaller than the competition (3oz glasses), but there are 5 of them for $7. Not too bad. All of the ciders were surprisingly good. Just the right amount of sweetness. Wow they really know what they're doing. Looks like I'll have to be back a few more times to clean out the place. Recommended.

I love Ciders so this may be bias. My BF and I tried this place out amongst other breweries in the area. It was a quiet evening just us and another group or so. Plenty of seating. There was a super sweet employee who was patient with me while I tried half their taps. Portland Cider House had an impressive array of flavors to satisfy any one! I ended up ordering the Semi sweet and a few cans to go! They were perfectly tart but sweet where you can't taste too much alcohol (dangerous). One of my favorite cideries. I've been looking for Portland Cider House here and San Diego cause I miss it so much!

Got in right before Portland shut down again for in door dining. The bar tender was very inviting and respectful for social distancing. We were there at the tail end of the day, but she never hinted to us that we had to leave only that it was last call. Everyone loved the cider sample platter, and there were many to choose from.

THIS CIDER IS SO DELICIOUS, I HAVE TO TELL YOU IN ALL CAPS! They have tons of options to choose from and all are made with love and lots of delicious, local fruit and flavors. My favorite was the peach and grape ciders, so tasty! They have a large menu and can do to-go crowlers if your choice is not available in the cooler. I stopped by the store recently and was very impressed by their social distancing systems and how easy it was for me to do a quick in-and-out cider run, can't wait to see you all soon!

Great selection of ciders. The bartender the night me and my buddies went was super friendly and the vibe was super good. Great food as well.

Another great cider spot! They had some food on the happy hour menu. I got a flight of 6 different ciders for $10! Each cider was 3oz. Flights are always great because they give you the opportunity to try multiple different ciders. The Portland cider sangria was super tasty!!! I would definitely come back to this place. I loved that they had trivia cards and would you rather cards on the table. They also had a shelf of different board games. A fun spot to get together with a group of friends or coworkers after work!

Love this little cider house right on the best part of Hawthorne. Way worth a stop by, and ciders that can compete with some of the great craft beers Portland has. And now they have TRIVIA TUESDAYS!

Dropped in for happy hour the other day which was great. Portland Cider brand ciders are $1 off a pint, and there are several to choose from with a variety of levels of sweetness. I appreciate that the food options are clearly marked to be gluten free or vegan. This is a great place for "grabbing a beer" for the gluten free folk on Hawthorne!

I had some extra time on my hands so the hubby thought we'd finally come in and cross this off our bucket list. It was exactly what we expected, at prices that were super reasonable. It wasn't even noon, so we split a flight of six ciders for $10. We also were pleasantly surprised by a fair amount of food options. You could come on in for a full meal if you're so inclined. We got a couple hot pretzels and they were pretty good. The flight and the two pretzels plus tip came to $20. Not a bad deal at all! I won't say we will be here all the time, but we might stop in if a similar situation arises. It's akin to stopping at a coffee shop. Ie, I've got a little extra time on my hands, I like cider, so sure, why not? With 28 taps ranging from extra dry to super sweet, you'll find something.

I got a 12 pack of their ciders, and it was great! I especially like their fruity flavors like their Pineapple Rose, Peach Berry, and Razzberry. Their contactless delivery was neat, I pulled up to the side of the store, called the number, and popped my trunk. The worker looked at my license thru the window and dropped off the pack in the back of the car. I enjoy that their cider cans are bigger as I can easily split it with someone else.

If you're visiting Portland, this place definitely deserves a visit! DRINKS/FOOD - FLIGHTS: 6 ciders for $10? Um.. Yes please! Here were some of our favorites: #4: Sangria Cider #5: Pearfect Perry #13: Pacific Pineapple #17: Berry Sour - Nom nomz: We ordered the pretzel which was so doughy, warm, & the perfect snack to go along with our drinks! It also comes with warm cheese & dijon mustard to dip it in. SERVICE: - was great. The bartender & servers were super easy to talk to, gave the best recommendations, & made sure we got our drinks/food in a timely matter. ETC: - free wifi - super roomy so good for groups too! - has tons of board games (connect 4 & playing cards too!) - street parking I can't believe I didn't visit this gem during my previous visit to PDX but I'll definitely be coming back on my next!

I feel so happy this place is part of my neighborhood. They have 28 ciders on tap, many are rotating, and most are local. The place is very casual but professional, and the staff are attentive and knowledgable without being annoying. And the ciders.... I am a big cider drinker and tonight I went with a dear friend. She loves sweet ciders and I like dry ciders. We each got a flight and were pretty pleased with most of our selection. She was really interested in one of the ciders called passionfruit but it so happened that they ran out of the keg tonight. She was pretty sad about that. But it looks like it will be back so we will definitely go back to check it out. I especially like one called London Dry Gin. This is one of the ciders they actually make. Try it. I think I described it like a karate kick to your throat in a good way. I loved it! Check out my pictures to see the rest of my flight and my descriptions of the ciders. So very yummy. Something for everyone!

I have been to Portland Cider now twice and just love their cider and location. When I went this time, I allowed the server to pick a flight for me and it was just what I liked. It is always so fun to do tasters and to be able to sample different ciders . The staff is friendly and wonderful and the cider should not be missed. Can't wait to visit next time and try something new.

Second time coming here and so glad I came back as both times were great! Love the wide variety of ciders that they have to try. The staff were very helpful with recommendations & found a couple that were really good (I liked the pineapple cider). Loved that they had a wide variety of board games available for you to play. Super relaxed vibe where you drink a ton of ciders, snack on a giant pretzel & play games. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Get the cider sampler, 5 for $7! You have nearly 30 different ciders to choose from, so decision-making may not come easy. But if you're having trouble picking your ciders, ask the friendly staff for recommendations. Two friends and I shared the following flight: 1. Portland Cider 'Santa's Sauce' - Spicy from the blend of cinnamon, cardamom and cayenne. 2. Alter Ego Cider 'Sunny Cider' - Gingery and lemony. Soothing, but not tart. 3. Portland Cider 'Sorta Sweet' - Light, sweet, and refreshing. Easy to drink and my favorite of the five. 4. Portland Cider 'Pearfect Perry' - Light and smelled great of pear, but couldn't really taste it. 5. Portland Cider 'Kinda Dry' - As the name says, it's dry but overall decent. Of course we needed some food to munch on while enjoying the cider, so we shared soft pretzels and a basket of chicken tenders and tater tots. Clearly by the looks of the food, they were previously frozen and tasted it too - pretzels were dense and doughy, tater tots were mushy. So come to Portland Cider House for the ciders, not the food. Overall, this place has a fun and great atmosphere, ciders, and board games too.

Long overdue review for this place when I visited Portland, but this was the first and only cider house that I have been to so I was pretty ecstatic to check this place out when I found it on Yelp. Its located on the busy street Hawthorne so you will also have the chance to find plenty of delicious eateries here (Waffle Window is in the same vicinity!) The interior is pretty small and modern, but their cider menu is pretty extensive! They have your range of different flavors such as peach, mango, strawberry, etc. Since a majority of their menu is ciders, they all taste pretty delicious so you will just have to find the one at tickles your fancy. I would highly recommend their sampler/flight because you get to choose 5 for $8. I think after trying out their flights, I went ahead and ordered their peach flavor cider, it was very very good! They also have typical bar food here if you get the munchies from having too many ciders. The ciders will definitely creep up on you if you have one too many, but you will never know because of the taste. Parking is on the street or side streets near the residential areas, so prepare to do some walking if you park far!

I've lived in Southeast Portland for a long time, so I've seen this location be at least 3 different things over the years. When I saw it was now Portland Cider Company, I had to check it out! I've only been to one other cider bar, so I didn't know what to expect, as far as what would be on offer. I was surprised that it was all on tap! The decor has a rustic but still new feel (lots of wood!), and it's really clean and well lit. They also have one of those digital tap lists that show how full the kegs are, and whether one has been recently tapped. I decided to get an imperial flight, which comes with a sample of their barrel aged scrumpy (think cider-like wine... I believe it was 13% ABV). I won't go into all the ciders I tried, as some were good, and some were bad. Your mileage may vary. I will mention the Maui Cruiser cider they make is FANTASTIC! After I finished my flight, I had a full pint of that one because it was delicious. Overall, nice place. A little trendy, but that's what Hawthorne has become. My favorite part of my visit here was the sign over the hall to the restrooms... "Cider Recycling"... hahaha, yes!

A variety of ciders you'll find something you like. Personally preferred the Sangria Cider which was a nice mix of tart, sweet and smooth which I liked a lot. I'm not a super dry cider fan so take that with caution. But the sampler is a great price and you can get a nice to go can as a gift.

Can't go to Portland and not get beer. $8 for a flight of 5, not bad at all. As most girls are around this time of year, I got a little too excited when I saw they had a pumpkin spice cider. As soon as I took a sip, I wished I could turn all my other samplers into the pumpkin one. This place has fun board games too, which has all the makings of a good time. Wish I bought some of their ciders to bring back, instead of grabbing what I could find at the airport. Whoops.

28 ciders on tap!! I love Portland Cider's ciders ever since they came into the market a few years ago. They have a taproom in Oregon City, but it's in Oregon City. So I was happy to hear they opened another one in town! Using DigitalPour, you can see all the available ciders, ABV and prices for 8oz, 16oz and growler fill. Don't know what you want? They have 5 - 2oz samples for $7. Growler fills starts at $14. They don't make food, but allow outside food and some menus are available at the bar to give you ideas on what to order. With this and Carte Blanche & Gonzo a few blocks away, I'm in heaven :)

If you like cider, this is obviously the place to come! Sooo many different flavors, great prices, and fast service. I did not get a chance to try any of the food -- just a flight. They had a good mix of dries, sweets, and everything in between. They also have kambucha for those who prefer not to drink. My favorite cider was the pina colada, such a unique flavor and the brewery got it *spot on.*

Really cool spot. Moderate amount of people on a Sunday evening. Cosy vibe and good music. Ordered a flight at the bar ($8 for 5 samples). The bartender was super nice and picked out a flight for me since I know nothing about cider. Got the flight delivered at our table and enjoyed each one! Good selection and so fun to hang out and taste different ones for a reasonable price. I'll be back for sure!

Portland Cider House is awesome! I stopped by with a few other girls because we were walking around on Hawthorne and passed by this place. We've all never done a cider tasting before so we got two tasting flights ($7 each) between the four of us, which allowed us to try 10 different options. We started picking the ones that sounded good, but had a hard time picking 10. The gentleman working that day was SO helpful and friendly. He explained what the different symbols on the menu meant and helped us narrow down our choices based on what type of flavors we usually like. My favorite by far was The Guardian Angel, which had blueberry & pomegranate flavors. I also liked Apple Cider, which is an off-dry apple cider. Some of the girls liked Honey Ginger (ginger apple cider), but I'm not a huge fan of ginger so I didn't care for it. There's no food here, but there are a lot of places to eat nearby so it's a good post-meal spot to grab a drink. There's lots of seating for small or large groups and they even have a bunch of board/card games that you can play while you're there. If you're someone who likes cider, you should definitely check this place out. Or if you're someone who doesn't know if they like cider, you should come here to find out if you do!

What an awesome place! Usually, when I go to a taphouse I have 4 or 5 choices (because I drink cider, not beer). Imagine my surprise as I'm walking down Hawthorne and see an establishment devoted entirely to cider. It's refreshing to see a place like this, especially since there are a lot of people out there who can't drink beer because of diet restrictions. There is a fantastically diverse selection of ciders to choose from. I opted for the sampler and got ciders with Whiskey, Mojito, Black Currant, and even Chai. Something for every cider enthusiast. The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. In fact, I got a great vibe right when I walked through the door. The icing on the cake is that the staff are terrific. Friendly, knowledgeable, and fun (Thanks Jenny, Mason, and Jillian!).

The nicest employees ever, and the amount of ciders here is absolutely incredible! The cauliflower tots were bomb as well!

As a former skeptic of ciders... Please give ciders a chance and if you do, do it here! An abundance of ciders and knowledgeable staff to help guide you along. Nooooooot overly sweet and some surprisingly high ABV's. When I visited, I took my mother (a lover of ciders and a newbie on the beer scene). Both she and I left ecstatic! Flavors such as basil mint, pineapple rose, and bramble berry were very impressively well done. Get a flight, stay a while, and play a boardgame of some kind.
