Deep in the heart of Texas and tucked away in the Bishop Arts District of Dallas is a treasure of a tasting room. Nestled among a number of great restaurants and artisan shops, the cozy Bishop Cider Co. tasting room is a great place to start off or end an evening, or be a destination unto itself. The owners of Bishop were unhappy with the cider options in Texas and decided to start making their own. Cider that didn’t cut corners, used traditional methods but still innovated with new flavors. The result has been a number of really good ciders for seemingly every occasion. There is also a slight irreverence to Bishop which we picked up on and appreciated when we visited. They had recently expanded to the point where they outgrew the space and opened a new warehouse space that also has a "cidercade," filled with arcade games and fitting with the brand’s kind of nerdy but intelligent hipster persona—this seems to be confirmed by the eclectic collection of characters that have featured on their cans from Braveheart to Ben Franklin, and from Star Wars to Nikola Tesla. Though we didn’t get to go, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t interested in playing some Street Fighter II with a nice cold The Dark Cide to sip on. So if you’re in Oak Cliff or in the Design District closer to the Cidercade, come check out what Bishop has to offer.
