This location is right on the hippest stretch of Hawthorne Blvd. in Southeast Portland right across from McMenamins Bagdad Theater & Pub—an institution and local landmark—and Greater Trumps, an old-school port and cigar bar. After trying out Schilling Cider House the day before, the Dean and I hit up this spot to see what they had to offer. To be honest, it was a bit of letdown in comparison. The space was not as inviting as it was dark with a quasi-country décor feeling, really quiet, and the lady working the counter was acting a bit goofy the night we went. Nonetheless, they had plenty of cider to try with an impressive draft list of 29 ciders on tap. A dozen of these were the latest lineup from Portland Cider Company who runs the taproom. The remaining ciders (and one random beer) all came from other cideries in Washington and Oregon giving you a great opportunity to sample a lot of the regional offerings from the Pacific Northwest. Regardless of your commitment level, they had you covered as they offered tasters, half pints, pints, howlers and growlers, all at really reasonable prices. The great selection and location make this an ideal stop if you’re cruising Hawthorne with friends and you like cider, or are just trying to get your friends to try it. A must-see stop on the PNW cider trail.
