Came back here almost a year later visiting friends who moved to the area. It's just as good as I remember - the Queen Bee is such a staple. The food options next door were open this time around (last time I visited they were still under construction) so we grabbed food from there and ate it here while we enjoyed a card game and drinks. It makes for an excellent combination of good times. read more

Lovely place to hang out and enjoy a cider or two. We ordered inside and sipped on our flights outside. The flights cost $14 for 4 - 5oz pours. Single cider full pours are about $7-$8. They also serve beer, cocktails, and might have a trial cider option or specials. The weather was beautiful and Bold Batch Creamery even stopped by to sell ice cream. We enjoyed most of the ciders selected. Overall, a pleasant place for cider and company. read more

Great experience here. There is a parking lot where you can scan a QR code for 3 hours free. Lots of ciders to choose from, and they have a flight option as well. Also have beer, wine and some liquor. No food, but there is Giorgios's right next door. Got the mango cider ($8). Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They also have an array of board games to play with. Definitely recommend read more

I'm a big fan of East Bower Cider. What an awesome addition to the east w d market area. The only thing that is a little annoying is that you do you have to pay for parking and then get validated within the biz. So if you see the signs don't worry, you do have to deal with it, but can get it validated inside. I've been in a few times and enjoyed myself each time. I've sat both outside and inside, I love the fire pits outside but they are usually taken. The outside area is definitely kid and pet friendly. Inside it's nice, not too big, has a nice vibe to it. I've liked pretty much every cider I've had and I also enjoyed that they let you taste test them before you commit to one. If it's your first time going in the tasting flight is probably the way to go. My top picks recently have been their cranberry orange cider and their pumpkin chai cider. The bartender let me know that they steep the cider with the tea leaves and spices, you can definitely taste it. They also do a few cider based cocktails, if you're more interested in something with some liquor in it, they have options there. Overall just a really great spot to stop in and grab a drink or hang out for a while with friends read more

Beautiful space with a decent size indoor and large outdoor space currently being used to allow kids and pups to burn off energy while parents drink. Service is excellent, staff is not afraid to do free recommendations but I glad we did two flights to try all the ciders. We enjoyed all the ciders except Wild Ride, I can see why it would be a great base for a mixer, which they use for a cider cocktail, it is not bad on its T's own but will not conflict with the original there flavors you can add. Linger (cranberry, orange, and honey) is my favorite and Giant Step was hands down my hubby's favorite which drinks like an amazing IPA/session beer. We will definitely be back! read more

Came here on a rainy day and a great pick me up cidery. They had plenty of ciders on tap as well as other drinks if interested. I went with one of the ciders the barista recommended. It was both sweet and tart with an overall great flavor. Definitely want to go back and try the other ciders they have on tap. Atmosphere was pretty nice inside. It was quite spacious with plenty of seating. There is also outside seating with umbrellas when it's not raining. Parking was pretty easy and plentiful as well. I imagine it will get more difficult as this place seems to be growing in popularity. Overall, I enjoyed this cidery and will be back to try the other drinks. Not sure if they have food but something to potentially add/explore. read more

Brand new, East Bower Cider Co. is Raleigh's first hard cidery! Located in Midtown East, East Bower sits in the East End Market which is slowly being built out. Large patio, mod interior, they are currently serving up some guest ciders as they get their production ramped up. They are doing a lot of things right on Day 1 and I anticipate East Bower being a fun meeting spot along with Bowstring down the street, cheers! read more

Great atmosphere and food. Would recommend to friends and family! Their pizza was awesome

First time visiting this place , which I've been trying to get to and it didn't disappoint. The place is tucked away off a side road but wasn't hard to find. I sat outside which had plenty of seating and tables. There was indoor seating as well. I tried a few of the cider beers can't recall each name but they were food. The place sales snacks no food there though. Overall cool spot I'll visit again. read more

East Bower Cider - One of the many cider beers I had - Cideries Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

This place is very cool! Although I still prefer the ciders from Bull City, I like the ambience and service here better than most of the Bull City locations. The ciders were varied and flavorful, but not as good as their in state competition. That said, the service was outstanding, helpful, and super nice. Although I can't really describe it, I greatly like the aesthetics of this place. The music that was playing wasn't my favorite, but they had a DJ that played late afternoon/early evening, and he was really good. I highly recommend this place if you are in Raleigh. My wife and I are already very excited about returning here soon. read more

East Bower Cider is Raleigh's first cidery. I started off with a flight, you get 4 5oz pours. I selected the Queen Bee, Linger, Pom Pomme and Golden Tart. My favorites were the Queen Bee and Linger. Next it was a cider pour then a beer. Outside of cider, they have wine, beer and non-alcoholic options available. I can't wait to return once it gets warmer so I can sit outside. read more

Love this place! The In Bloom cider was amazing (cider with elderberry and cinnamon) it was unique and not too sweet. The atmosphere is great - lots of heat lamps outside for the cooler fall nights. Great place to talk with friends and relax! read more

This cider place has a variety of options: cider, wine and beer. Their ciders are refreshing and not super sweet. My favorite is their pomegranate and rose cider. This place has a nice atmosphere and plenty of space inside and outside. They are also dog friendly. The servers had great customer service. You do have to post for parking here, but they will validate it inside. read more

Service was friendly and efficient; cider was great; atmosphere/location/building space was so fun and functional. Overall, loved East Bower Cider Co and will definitely be back!

All were fantastic!!) read more

Super cute outdoor area! They have heaters for chillier nights. I got the non alcoholic hot cider and it was delicious. They have a lot of ciders, but not a ton of different fruit options (blackberry cider, blueberry cider, orange cider, etc). Worth a visit! read more

Great spot to hang out with friends, kids and pups. The ciders are tasty and refreshing. Love getting the flight to tast multiple ciders.

East Bower has a nice outside area and it was nice in the sun when we were there. They also have blankets to sit on the turf if there are no tables available. The inside seating is minimal. There is a line to order which was kind of hectic bc you had to grab all your drinks and move right away so the next person could order vs a bar setting where you could wait at the bar to order. The staff was slightly rushing us, but overall it was a good Saturday day spot read more

My partner and I are literally here almost every week. Obsessed? YES. This is Raleigh's first cidery spot - and I can say the BEST. I love that most, if not all, of their ciders are dry or semi dry. The flavors are very balanced and delicious. My favorites are the In Bloom and Linger, and if in season, their hot cider with vermouth!!! There is plenty indoor and outdoor seating and games as well! Definitely will be back for more!! read more

I don't want to pigeon hole this wonderful new venue but: Kid Friendly!! What's great about it is there's not too many toys or kids activities. Just spacious and some AstroTurf to run around on. It's not all rocks like Lynwood. Also not too crowded. I am not a cider person but the ambiance here definitely sold me. The ciders really are good. Parking is easy. Definitely find yourself time to check it out. Not a single downside! read more

Great variety of ciders. They have snacks at the bar. Visiting food truck on sight. Dogs welcome.

I love cider and I'm so glad Raleigh has a cidery now! The space is beautiful and feels fresh, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The bartenders were very friendly and let us sample ciders before choosing. Looking forward to when they start serving their own ciders too! I tried the Jack's Original Peach and the Shacksbury Classic and loved both; the Peach was sweeter and the Shacksbury was more dry. My friends loved the Noble Golden Arrow, a ginger cider. read more

So glad raleigh finally has a cidery! East Bower was still waiting for their license to make their own cider when I visited, but they still had a great selection of ciders! Loved that they had a lot from NC. The outdoor patio has lots of great seating with umbrellas for shade. The inside is beautiful. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable on the ciders they had available. Will be back soon! read more

LOVE this new cidery that's been added to the Five Points area! It's such a chill vibe including indoor and outdoor seating. And there's outdoor heaters and firepits for those colder days. They offer about 8 different ciders, cocktails, and some bar snacks. It's a short menu but it gets the job done. I think the area is prime for other restaurants to come in as well since there's additional space. I tried several ciders since it was my first visit and landed on the the Queen Bee. It's semi dry featuring hints of fruitiness. And the local honey has a bit of sweetness that is bot overwhelming at all. They also offer flights if you're interested in trying more than one flavor. The service was great as well. I went on a busy weekday night but the bartender was attentive and patient, which I greatly appreciated. I also saw some folks bring in pizza so I think there may be some flexibility in bringing in food while you drink. I look forward to visiting this place again soon! read more

Love, love, love!! My new favorite place to be Saturday especially if the weather is nice! Not a huge cider fan but they have a couple of sweeter ones that are so good. They also have fire pits which are so fun and really add to the ambiance. Highly suggest coming here with friends or Raleigh visitors on a Saturday. It definitely has more of a chill vibe and is perfect for a relaxing weekend. read more

Today was my third visit and I can't wait to go back. Modern and beautiful vibe with unique and flavorful ciders. You will love the outdoor seating with fire pits for cool evenings. Games available, pet friendly and very nice staff. My new weekend hang out spot! read more

Great location & space inside and outside! The owners are amazing! Great selections of cider (until they have their own), beer and wine!
