Schilling Cider House

Places like this are why I love Washington state. Cider is far superior than beer and having many different flavors all under one roof is amazing. I wish my home state had cider houses to try. None of the flavors I sampled were bad tasting and I wish I could try them all. Even the rootbeer on tap was delicious.

Emily was our cider tender and was such a sweet heart! Got to celebrate my friends birthday here- wonderful vibes ✨👌 they have multiple non alcoholic options too They also gave my friend a little tulip glass and pin as a birthday gift :,)

Had a great time at Schilling Cider House, Lucy and Justin were super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly! Delicious ciders and comfortable place to hang! Found it because of a Geocaching Adventure lab! Would come back!

This place is fantastic. The cider is great and the woman pouring was able to give us amazing recommendations.

Since being introduced to Schilling two summers ago, our experience has been incredibly welcoming and friendly. The staff is consistently cleaning and picking up empty cups, and the bathrooms are the cleanest I’ve seen in a public place. The prices are reasonable, and we enjoyed our visit, especially the different varieties of seasonal flavors available. We will definitely be returning!

One of my fav cider places in Seattle. This place is open until 11pm so stopped by and tried their plum & plucket, orange vanilla and lemonade ciders. Delicious and perfect to beat the heat! Dog friendly spot with decent indoor seating space for group. I can see this spot being busy on weekends and a crowd cider fav. Overall love it here and love their ciders.

This is a review about the cider they put out claiming “real lemonade.” If you were to put Seattle into a bottle, their hard lemonade cider (imperial pink, blue raspberry, guava and peach lemonade) would perfectly embody that, absolute garbage. Does not even remotely have a hint of lemonade nor any of the of the flavors it claims to be. Should have bought the package of Jack Daniel’s downhill punch instead. Such a poor showing of what Schillings has to offer, normally their product is pretty good.

I have been coming to this location for over 7 years. In that time I've seen staff turnover, neighborhood discounts come and go, and plenty of changes. Adding a big screen TV for events was a nice touch, but closing at 10 rather than 11 cut off my friends and I from our usual hangout following our Friday event ending at 10. It was sad, but reasonable, as the bar was generally not more than half full by 10 on a Friday night. The last straw for me has been the last month and change, where this location has been out of growlers, crowlers, and lids for both. This limits to-go options to the downsized reach-in case(1/3rd of the case is empty), making selection little better than any number of grocery stores. This week, there were more upscaling changes(changing the seating from stools to tall chairs with a backrest, revamped flight cards, a new cocktail napkin setup, and removing the serving mat from the main bar counter) as well as a new staff uniform(previously no distinct uniform). Somehow, with all these snazzy upgrades, growlers are still unavailable. The combination of these changes gives the impression of wanting to become a more exclusive experience, rather than a neighborhood hangout.

We stopped in at the Schilling Cider House to celebrate Father's Day and finally drink inside this location. I've had the ciders out in the world like at Mariners games or from the local stores or pubs but I like going to the source to see what makes it tick. Schilling is a very good local cider made right here in Seattle. There are a large number of flavors offered on tap at the cider house and a large variety of refrigerated ciders in a long case along the wall. The refrigerated cases also have all sorts of other ciders from other companies for sale. Inside there are several long tables with high stools around them. There are lots of Schilling branded items around and games and coloring sheets with pencils and crayons for customers to enjoy. There is a small "garage sale" section inside that has some discounted merch and some cheaper ciders for sale. We had flights of our favorite sounding cider flavors and really enjoyed them. Our server was very helpful and descriptive of the flavors. She also helped me a bit with the Geocaching Adventure Lab Scavenger Hunt inside the cider house. I like the variety of ciders to choose from and the large drinking area here. It's worth a visit.

Fun experience! A little bit pricey, but if you are sharing/splitting, it's not so bad. They have big tables for groups and games to play! Over 30 options for ciders that I assume rotate out. Will be going back!

Steve and I had Schilling Cider on a couple of different occasions. This cider experience is the first for this location and as usual it doesn't disappoint at all. On this cider outing Steve and I had the Big Zesty cider. This cider was fun as it has elements of guava, lemon, crispness and a natural sweetness. You can also expect to find aromatics at work which makes the Big Zesty a fun, complex and interesting cider to drink.

Great selection of ciders plus slushees! This place also hosts a lot of events that go beyond just trivia. My only wish is that they had an outdoor area!

The best selection of ciders, from super dry to really sweet! Got a flight of 6 ciders for $15 and especially loved the dreamsicle and mango flavors!

Happened to find this place while exploring Seattle and we loved it. I tried all the staff favorites and they did not disappoint. They had board games as well to play which I also appreciate. Service was fast and drinks are cold, what more could you ask for!

Hard Ciders are always a great Choice! Good for digestion after a big breakfast-brunch. Stopped in before heading back home to Cali, and I think I just found my Favorite cider. "Excelsior Imperial Mango". Wowzaaa! So light, crisp and subtle. "Menor" the Cashier was very friendly & helpful.

If you love cider, you will LOVE Schilling Cider House! It is truly a cider lover's paradise. They have so many different flavors to choose from, not only from Schilling, but other local breweries as well. And the drinks are so tasty. They even have various board games that you can play while you are drinking. I love how chill the ambience is as well, it's more quiet and low key. If you're in the area and looking for a place to chill, would highly recommend stopping by.

We love Schilling ciders and were so happy to be able to pop in on a Sunday afternoon to see the taproom and do a tasting. There were so many options to choose from (honestly, the board is almost overstimulating the way it's currently formatted), but we appreciated the variety. We also loved the ability to build our own flight (i.e. choose exactly how many we wanted to taste). The only disappointment from our experience was the bartender--she had the personality of wet cardboard, wasn't welcoming whatsoever, and clearly didn't want to be there (and from the feel of it, didn't want us to be there either). Had there been some better customer service on her part, the experience would've been 10/10.

What a great place! A delightfully fun space to enjoy your favorite cider with freinds -- or a flight of as many and whichever ciders you want to try! Flight pours are $3 each. Wen tried the Schilling Chaider, Marine aisland Kiwi, agreed wood Pomegranate, Schilling Moonberries, and Schilling Honeycrisp. I really loves the Schilling Moonberries.

Stopped here for a quick drink will waiting for dinner. A fun space with SO many cider choices. We made a little flight of flavors recommended by the bartender. The menu is color coded based on how sweet or dry the cider is, though there are so many choices, it is a little overwhelming and hard to wade through. We loved the schilling grapefruit flavor, it was crisp and refreshing and almost a little salty. I also adored the vanilla bean flavor from locust, it was so different from any cider I have had before, almost more of a sweet peanut butter flavor. The mountain mule was nice as well, sort of a lime ginger flavor I think, I noticed a bit of a chemical taste from the lime but my partner liked it a lot. Neither of us were big fans of the peach bellini flavor, too sweet and too carbonated. We'll be back! We saw they have trivia on Monday nights and we are looking forward to checking that out!

Mango Excelsior is the best cider and you can't beat that ABV of 9.1%. It's semi sweet with a very bright mango flavor that tastes like real mango. The other two Excelsior varieties Imperial and Red Glo were great as well. Highly recommend Get a flight and taste your way through the menu! Lots of seating with some card games. Apparently Mondays there is a trivia night hosted There were a few guest taps but I didn't really like the Locust Blood Orange Cranberry - the fruit flavor was flat. Likely would stick to the amazing Schilling offerings the next time I come There are also free postcards you can take and write, with stickers too. Really great place to hang out and get swag to represent a reliably delicious cidery!

A friendly place to enjoy a large variety of ciders. They do offer flights and the server offered suggestions, which is always nice. Their menu is also color coded to indicate dryness and sweetness. There were so many choices. We tried the Schilling Moonberries, Local legend and a Lavender. All were good except the lavender, the mix was off. A nice alternative for cider fans.

The moonberry cider IS THE BEST cider I've ever had. Apple pie is also one of their classic cider flavors and is delicious. Highly recommend getting a flight and trying out all their flavors. Was such a great hangout spot and their trivia night was so fun and challenging!

Yay Schilling! I love being able to do flights here, and that they have drinks readily available for purchase to carry out. Although some ciders are sweet, I have always been a fan and they have other options! I will say though I really really wish they had some food options :( Staff is nice and the venue is welcoming!

Honestly don't really like cider but this place was great. So many options, you could get a flight too! Good vibes and board games. Loved

Been here a couple times now and always have a good time. They have a variety of options, ranging from dry to sweet, for a very reasonable price. At busy times, it is hard to find seating but we've always been lucky to find some spots. Fremont is also usually easy to find parking in. Their ciders are usually changing, with some constants like their Excelsior Mango (which you can't go wrong with). Some other favorites include the guava lemonade and newer chai-der. The establishment has a great variety of coloring pages and crayons (lots of fun to do with friends). If you're not into that, they have a bunch of board games too :-) They do close a bit early at 11 PM, and are usually strict with that timing. Definitely recommend checking this place out with a group of friends!

Schilling Cider House is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PLACE TO GO! Drinks are always amazing, staff are always friendly and it is just a really chill vibe to go after work or in the middle of the day on the weekend with friends!

The Schilling Cider House is a phenomenal stop for some good fun and great drinks! There's an abundance of ciders on tap with an eclectic array of options. Myself, I was hesitant to coming here, I generally don't like beer, let alone ciders. However, my wife really wanted to try it, as she is a cider fan. To my surprise, Schilling had a chalk board filled with options to try, listed from Dry to sweet, including semi-dry's and semi-sweet's. I went for the driest options available, and WOW! I loved every one I tried! My wife got the sweeter options, which she loved as well! I tried hers, and definitely not for me, and she tried mine, and definitely not for her. Just goes to show this place has something for everyone to enjoy! The atmosphere is fun and inviting, with board games available to play with friends! The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable! Only downside was the parking, but hey, what can you expect in a big city. Definitely check this place out soon!

Cool little cider place in Fremont. They have a huge selection of ciders! Ending up doing a tasting so I could try a few different ones. Nice chill place to sit with your flight and people watch. The server was knowledgeable and gave some good recommendations based on my preference. Definitely worth a try!

Love this cider company, definitely my favorite one due to the variety of ciders they have! And I love how the cider house showcases all their delicious ciders as well as other cider companies! They have a pretty big tap list compared to most breweries or cider houses I've been too. I also love how they color code their tap list in the categories of which taps are dry/semi-sweet/sweet etc. That's a huge plus for me as I always want to know. The location was packed when I went on a Friday evening and it's not that big, but it wasn't hard to squeeze into a table to sit with my flight! I noticed they have some card games and board games to play as well while you enjoy your drinks, so it's a great place to come with a group! Just know seating might be difficult the bigger the group. Would absolutely love to come here again and will still keep buying Schilling Cider packs!

What can I say, GREAT cider! They definitely know Hape to make their own cider. We stopped in for a couple of flights while we were here and definitely loved their own brand better and we found out they carry it at our local store so win win! Ask them, tell them if you prefer wine or beer, flavors you like, they will get what you'll like best via their expert recommendations!

Pro: BOOZE, on tap!!!! Con: Not enough indoor seating on a cold and rainy day... which is about every day? Found this place while waiting for Kacha to open up around the corner. There is so much different cider on tap, it's kind of insane, I would love to live around the corner and just be able to come and go. Pretty cheap price in comparison to Socal.

We tried the flight and enjoyed the variety of ciders served. They ranged in sweetness and flavor and were a great way to try different ones without committing to a whole glass :-) They also have games and coloring sheets if you just want to relax, which my boyfriend and I thought was super cool. A nice, chill, casual place to come with friends!

Definitely a spot to visit. The employees here are incredibly knowledgeable about every type and variation of cider. It's a functional venue where you can grab a seat and hang for a bit before heading down to the Fremont Brewery nearby. A Seattle classic.

Schilling is a fun little cider house right in downtown Fremont. We were able to find street parking on a Sunday afternoon a few blocks away, since I don't think they have a parking lot. On a Sunday afternoon there were 3 other groups inside - they were checking vaccine cards and IDs as well. We each got a cider flight which comes with 1-6 3oz pours, where each 3oz pour is around $2.5. The entire 6 cider flight (6x3oz pours) ends up being about $15 each and let me taste lots of different varieties! They have 30+ ciders to pick from and vary from sweet, dry, fruity, sour, spicy, etc! Some are Schilling and some are other local cideries. We played some board games (they have a huge shelf!) and did some coloring. What a fun place, I'll definitely be back.

After making our small trip to Portland, my friends fell in love with cider. We decided to do a cider tasting and found this place! It's located near the renowned Fremont Troll under the bridge, just a few blocks away. It's next to a Chase Bank on N 34th St. There's only street parking, I believe... not too sure if there's a parking lot next door that customers can park at. We got 10 different ciders out of the 30-32 choices they offered. Each 3 oz was $2.50. Pretty decently priced! We got to choose whatever and put our choices on a little "business card". The workers fill our drinks up in the order we had wrote our numbers. My personal fav were actually sweet and semi-sweet ciders, such as the Ragged & Right Peach flavor and Schiling Passport flavor. We also ordered the Greenwood Hot Fuzz and omg. It was kind of weirdly spicy. Interesting flavor and definitely not for me. The friend who wanted this was a trooper for finishing it up! Definitely a fun place to check out if you're around the area. The prices aren't too bad either and there's a variety different ciders to choose from.

Cider is not usually a favorite of mine as I favor a delicous craft beer. But this cider house is A...MA...Zing!!! Super cool vibes and loads of ciders to chose from. All labled by color for the desired sweetness, dryness and semi sweet category. Numbers 1-12 are made by schilling and the others are guest tap ciders. It was a cold day, DUH, did you know it's Washington?, lol, so we decided on the chai cider served hot. OMG. Absolute perfection for a cold day. Yummy and sweet, not too sweet served with cloves on top. At 6.5% it was a perfect light buzz as well. Next I tried the crisp apple flavor, which I ended up buying a six pack of, because it was also so yummy! The vibe was superchill with clean bathrooms, plenty of seating, games to play and loads of fun coloring sheets to entertain yourself. No food served here. Only little bites of cheese as snacks. Parking in the nearby neighborhood, downtown area was easy to find. Great find in the Fremont area. If you are a cider fan you will LOVE this place. It has converted me. Happy Yelping.

We love to visit often! I love that they're dog friendly and have dog bowls + water on tap to fill them. The ciders have always been super great but on my last visit I tried the Portland flavor and loved it- sweet but not too sweet. Everyone is also so friendly! Remember to bring your vaccination card as they check on entry.

What's not to like? Wish that you could get wrecked on apple juice? This is your spot. Want food? They don't have any - but you can bring in outside food. It's good spot, can be a bit loud on trivia nights, but the bartenders are top notch.

Schilling is by far my favorite cider. There are so many options too! This is a small shop, and they aren't doing seating yet during COVID (since inside is only small bar tops), but they said they would consider in the future! In the meantime, you can buy discounted flats of certain ciders (a flat is 4 x 6 packs) to take home off of their website! I actually got 2 flats for $50 - What a deal! My favorite ciders are: Passport pineapple passion fruit (very sweet) Excelsior (sweet/dry) Rating system: 1 star = Would not return. 2 star = Meh, it was okay but unlikely to return 3 star = Good. Pretty average and wouldn't go out of my way to come back 4 star = Loved it! Great experience and will return 5 star = AMAZING! I'll tell everyone about this place and put to on my go-to list of suggestions

Went here yesterday. Tried 10 ciders. All great except one. Not a bad record. Will come back and try another ten. The elderberry was the best

A casual and affordable cider house to relax and drink cider with friends! I came here with a friend after a meal to chat and catch up. It was our first time there so we needed a moment to figure out what we wanted to order and the cashier was very patient with us. The $2 flights we had were sweet and refreshing. We saw some other people playing board games there so that's an option too. They have open tables and benches for seating where you can sit next to other people as well. It was a neat experience being a tourist in the area!

Thank you for inviting me to schillingcider tasting event ! I learned so much more about their signature ciders. Since I live in Fremont I always go to Schilling before the quarantine starts and get their flight so I can taste different ciders at once!! But my all time personal favorite is the grapefruit one! Sweet, refreshing and tasted like grapefruit juice! And it doesn't have weird after taste! 1. Grapefruit 2. Passport (Pineapple passionfruit) 3. London Dry 4. Local Legend 5. Excelsior 6. Rosé Vacay Overall they have all good ciders and they will change their taps all the time! So you get to try different ciders everytime you come in. Drinks: 10/10 Service: 10/10

I love a good cider, so I had high hopes for this place. The chalkboard menu is color coded according to sweetness, which made it easy for me to pick my flight from the 30+ options on tap. Schilling has a handful of their own offerings and the rest were guest taps. They also have coolers full of bottled options! We had two bartenders when we were there; one seemed less interested in helping us find ciders we'd love, and one was super helpful. I did a full flight of six different ciders, which I shared with my boyfriend. I liked all but one that I tried, so I was pretty happy. The atmosphere inside is warm and inviting. They have games to play, a self-serve water cooler, and no kitchen, but you can bring food in. I could tell that Schilling is a place where locals would probably hang out.

Had an amazing experience! The bartenders are kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Me and a few friends got cider flights, which are a great, inexpensive way to try some different varieties ($2.50 per 3oz pour). My favorites were the Springboard semi-sweet and the Imperial McIntosh. Will definitely be coming back!

I love hard cider. And since moving to Seattle I've learned that there really is no such thing as "regular" hard cider. Sure, the typical hard cider flavor is apple but that alone allows for so many variations such as Sweet, Semi-Sweet, Semi-Dry, Dry. Beyond those categories you have alcohol content and the flavor factor. Still with me? Great, because Schilling has so much more to offer than that. And it's oh so good. First off, Schilling makes a lot of their own hard cider brews. The flavors can vary by season and perhaps even whim. I love that. My latest obsession was their chai spice option. So dang good that I purchased my own to-go bottle. And I didn't share it. . . Want to check out Schilling? Here's what you need to know. There is a large variety of hard cider available here both on tap and in take-home bottles. The options change throughout the year so you can pretty much always expect something new with each visit. On tap there are around 30+ options. Yes, you read that right. I've yet to find any other location in Seattle with that much to offer. They all have descriptive names, distinct flavors, and are color-coded according to level of sweetness/dryness. I'm very partial to the sweet ones so this color-coding is extremely helpful. To taste and enjoy to the fullest, write 6 of your tasting selections on the designated card and hand it to the cashier. Don't forget to go to the self-serve water station and fill a glass to keep yourself hydrated. Pro tip: Bring a friend and share 12 different tastings to expand your options. Also, feel free to stay awhile and play some of the card or board games provided in the space.

Fantastic surprise for the non-cider enthusiast (me) and two thumbs up from the cider enthusiast husband. We got to taste six canned favorites with the owner at a virtual tasting and can't wait to head to the tasting room when things return to "normal". The owner was a hoot and REALLY knows her history of cider without being snooty! The cans all have fun pictures on them and ciders where light, very easy to drink and perfect for summer nights. We won't be doing the "taste the rainbow " challenge when we head to the tasting room in Fremont (2oz tastings of all 32 ciders on tap) but we'll definitely be taking friends to try some of their seasonal blends.

Ambiance was good board games to chill and drink, nice drink selection not always available in stores. Service was polite and prompt. Will return!

Customer service is hit or miss. However, overall environment is awesome. Great scavenger hunt for entertainment. Highly recommend BigZesty.

Cool little cider house near Google and other shops. We got one in Portland last year and it is a bit nicer than this one (it's newer) because it's on the second floor, had a balcony seating area with a fire pit, but isn't as big as this one. They ran out of some of the ciders when we were there but luckily got it before it did. They have a nice selection of different ciders from other vendors, and they have a gauge to help you make your decision between dry, semidry, and sweeter varieties. Prices are reasonable for a flight and they have some games you can play while you're enjoying your drinks. They also have a cooler with a bunch of other ciders which is really nice. Great place to kick back and relax on a weekend.

Our last stop of the evening was at Schilling Cider House. Always down to try another cider spot in town. We dropped in on a Friday evening (around 10:00pm). Hours are oddly short (only open till 11:00pm daily). Service is helpful and they'll give you suggestions if you ask. The place was busy when we arrived but there's plenty of seating. Several board games to play and lots of ciders (local, American and global) to choose from in their cider fridges. The beats (old school R&B/hip hop) were right up our alley. 32 ciders to choose from on tap organized from driest to sweetest (colour coded). Samplers are $2.00 US/each (except for the speciality numbered ones in red which are slightly more). Write down what you want on your flight. Love that you can get Brownrigg's cherry cardamom! - Flight ($2.00 US each) - we went with Cider Riot passionfruit (#14), Schilling rhubarb pear (#7), Finn River honey meadow (#11), Tieton honey lavender (#24), Schilling pineapple passion (#5) and Schilling chaider (#8). Favourite was the lavender honey followed by the honey meadow. Schilling pineapple literally tasted like pineapple juice. The chaider was supposed to be sweet but had a dry, unappealing taste. Rhubarb pear was well rounded. Passionfruit smelled better than it tasted; only got a small, subtle hint. Card only. Decent ciders but nothing really blew us away at Schilling.

Super chill vibes, very good drinks. Games available which was cool. We enjoyed the option to color while hanging out. Would highly recommend stopping in here.

Good stop on a weekend afternoon, love the wood-accent interior & chatty atmosphere. We got a flight of the semi-sweet ciders: 30, 21, 12, 4, 15, 11. Top three for those loving sweet and light ciders are: 1. Revenant (lime, kumquat): floral 2. Seattle cider: earl grey!! 3. Avid (raspberry dragonfruit): sweet, fruity

Schilling Cider House might be my favorite bar in Seattle so far. The staff was friendly and happy to discuss the menu with me. The menu itself is color coded from dry to sweet, which is very helpful as you learn your palate. I strongly recommend getting a flight. It's $2 per glass, and you can get up to six at a time. Schilling does not sell food, but recommends you bring your own. I wish I had done that. If you're exploring Fremont, it was a great last stop after reading in Gas Works Park, visiting the Fremont Troll, and wandering past Fremont Brewing (have to hit it another time). There are so many amazing ciders on the menu, and they also sell an extensive number of options even outside of their own work. I imagine I'll always bring visitors, and I can't wait to go back!

I loved it here! I was first introduced to schilling cider from Qfc when I bought a six pack and on one of my days off I thought let's see where the tap room is and it's not that far! When I arrived they were so helpful, they have a bunch of taps from other cideries as well. Great atmosphere and great people!

First of all Sarah of Schilling is awesome! Picked up a variety six pack and enjoyed with friends in the back yard. All were tasty, but the favorite was the Passport, the passion and pineapple cider. So good! Can't wait to get more. What a good introduction to their ciders. Can't wait to enjoy the tasting room when they open back up!

4,7,30,85,15 were the ciders I ordered for the flight. If I remember correctly the first 3 were my favorites. They had postcards for sale and offered to mail them for you if you put it in their mailbox. I loved that so I wrote my mom a postcard. I also got a sticker. We really enjoyed coloring the sheets they had available. We did one of Bigfoot and I hope they still have it on the wall. Really enjoyed the cider here. Service was great too!

Shoutout to Lauren P. for planning a fun virtual Elite event! I love cider, but had never been to Schilling. This was a perfect opportunity to test out a variety of their ciders. As part of the event, we were given the following ciders: London Dry, Rosé Vacay, Local Legend (semi-sweet), Excelsior (a bit of a honey taste), Grapefruit and Chill, and the Passport (pineapple passionfruit). Sarah, our wonderful host, talked us through the process and recommended we try the ciders from dry to sweet (as listed in the previous sentence). She was passionate and knowledgeable about the process and flavors, which made for a great, interactive event. My favorites were the Passport, Grapefruit and Chill, and the Local Legend. I tend to gravitate towards sweeter ciders, which is why I loved those 3. I'm looking forward to going back to Schilling to try out the rest of their flavors!
