Great spot with plenty of indoor space and a nice outdoor area. Friendly bartenders helped us pick from the cider lineup (chai cider was my favorite and I'm not usually a cider guy). Atomic City Brewing on tap is a bonus if you want a change up . Good food, live acoustic music, and an all around great vibe. We'll come back when we are in Kingsport. read more

We could not decide where we wanted to stop for Linner and we decided on this place because it looked and sounded different. Man were we glad we stopped. I ordered 16 wings to share with the wife, hot honey, real dill and gochujang. Don't be scared of the real dill, the flavor is not overpowering at all. We normally order our wings extra crispy and I would not do that here, the next time we are in, because they would have been gtg without that. My wife ordered the twisted Cuban, with okra and it was delicious. read more

I had seen the signs for Gypsy Circus listed as an attraction while driving the interstate. I finally decided to stop by and check it out. Since there were so many signs, I guess I expected more than a small cider tasting room. I ordered a flight to try things out. I got the Queen of Swords which was there traditional, and honestly my least favorite. I also tried Hippie Hash which was a dry hopped cider and it was quite good. Then there was the Tea Leaf Reader. This was a chai spiced cider that I very much enjoyed. My favorite was a seasonal, but the wrong season, the Nutcrackers Revenge. It was a gingerbread cider and was excellent. When I ordered, I didn't realize they had food since the restaurant next door was closed. I didn't notice the bbq sauce bottles on the tables, or I would have potentially ordered food too. The ciders were decent. I've had better but also definitely had worse. I'd consider stopping by again if in the area. read more

Great cider! So many options of great Gypsy products along with craft breweries from the region. We had Rain Dancer and Their other very dry cider (pale ?). They were both excellent. Jonathan did an exceptional job taking care of a large crowd. 10/10 - looking forward to our next visit already! read more

TN's first cidery and it's right here in Kingsport! They serve house made ciders, mead, hard slushies and more. Come in for Happy Hour 4-6pm and enjoy half off dips. We tried both of their cheese dips: House Cheese Dip with Naan triangles; House-made Pimento Dip with tortilla chips. Both were very delicious. Glad we tried both dips. Their naan bread is chewy with a little crunchy outside. Best naan ever. Hubby enjoyed #9 cider and I enjoyed their dessert mead (strawberry crumble) thanks to the samples from the server. Service with a smile. Sit inside at your choice of table height table, couch or at the bar. Outside has chairs with barrels for tables. Notice the chalkboard wall displaying the monthly menu. Great conversation piece. Loud music plays allowing you to enjoy private conversations at your table. There is a stage for open mic night. read more

Fantastic service and selection of beer and some kombucha! The outside area is not very spacious, but is perfect for a cooler day. Inside, there are multiple tables and bar seating. I really like the overall welcoming vibe and pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

I came here since I couldn't decide on any other decent place in town for dinner. Turns out they don't really have dinner, more just a menu of apps, snacks, nachos, bowls, wings, meat platters, taco platters, and dips. I went with the wings since it's hard to mess those up. They come with 1 side and 1 sauce, so I chose vindaloo sauce and house chips since they were recommended. You get 6 breaded wings with your order. They didn't ask me, but automatically gave me what I think was blue cheese dressing. I tried a couple of the ciders, but didn't really like any, so i picked a local beer, which was easy to drink. I apparently visited on trivia night, but didn't join in. The interior is all decked out with gypsy and circus like decor, with some Xmas decor thrown in too, since it was nearly December. The wings were huge...and the vindaloo flavor was definitely unique...just not spicy by any means like u would think. Instead, it's like a mild Indian curry. Everything was going fine until u realized the thicker larger wings were slightly undercooked and had red juices flowing from them. Uggh This just isn't my scene either, but I was trying to be open minded. On a side note, they have an arcade area next to the restrooms, but I am not a video game person...and nobody was playing during my visit. I did like some of the decor here though, like the sinks in the restroom that are mini kegs sliced in half, or the gypsy lighting throughout the bar area and in restrooms. read more

There's so many great cider options here. The location is very convenient for me, but parking is kind of a hassle. They have a variety of different events. read more

Food was wonderful and learned that I do like cider! Who knew? I loved the guitar player and his music as well - Matt was his name I think . . don't remember the last name but played a mixture of rock, country etc. Super atmosphere and the outside area looks great for warm weather! Check it out! read more

This place is truly amazing. The owners have poured a huge amount of personal creativity into making it a unique experience. The atmosphere and decor, even the architecture of the place, is just so incredibly welcoming, you wish you could move in next door and hang oit here all the time! The on-site brewery makes amazing Cider, Mead and beer, plus they've got every other drink you can imagine ordering. The kitchen makes a menu regional fare like fried green tomatoes, smoked BBQ, and a wide array of platters that will make your mouth water. Also non-regional dishes like pot stickers, nachos and egg rolls -- and all at great prices too! When I came here I was served by the wonderful Madison, a friendly bartender who is happy to answer every question. Truly, this place is one of the nicest surprises I've ever found on Yelp. Check it out for yourself! read more

Our experience at gypsy was pleasant. The ambiance is very cute, with the hammocks and lighting. I will say that the stairs to get down to the outside area are *quite* the hazard, and seems like a weird thing to have in a place where people intend to be drinking alcohol. I enjoyed my cider flight and my partner enjoyed his IPA. If you're in the area, I'd say it's absolutely worth a trip! They have trivia, and open mic nights on occasion also, which seemed to draw a large crowd. read more

I love cider, so when visiting the Tri-Cities area, I searched the internet to see what I could find. Gypsy Circus popped up, and I knew immediately this was going to be a stop. They have a great selection of interesting ciders, and I ended up with a flight that consisted of the apple, the Concord grape, and the lemoncello versions along with a fourth one that was a rum infused version of the apple. I also tried the habanero vanilla in slush form which was very interesting, and I wish I had tried it on the flight, too. Every cider was amazing in taste! The bartenders were super friendly and helpful. It was a nice day outside, so I sat in the patio area which also functions as a dog park for those who wish to bring their four-legged friends. Additionally, I tried the BBQ nachos. I almost ordered something else when I saw that they were covered with pimento cheese, but I'm so glad I didn't because the combination of flavors was absolutely incredible! I highly recommend a stop here for all cider lovers. I imagine the beer selection is just as good, but I'm not a beer enthusiast so I can't say for sure... I'm just pretty certain you won't be disappointed either. So do yourself a favor and stop in whether you are local or traveling through. Enjoy your visit and take home your own souvenir container (options to choose from) to enjoy later! read more

Fabulous experience yesterday at Gypsy Circus. Traveling from out of town and popped in to see what they had and didn't want to leave! Grant is an amazing guide to tasting and was spot on with his recommendations for our taste preferences. He went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our experience. The key lime cider is off the chains! Also loved the queen, clover and peach. Honestly the best ciders I have ever had, so I stocked up for the trip back to WV. read more

The bar tender was great. We had a really good conversation and he loved his craft. The two areas that were 5 star was obviously the cider. If you like cider this really is a can't miss place. Also a great selection of hot sauce! I went with the pork sandwich. I just didn't feel that the flavor was there and the pork was a little dry. The sandwich had slaw and curry sauce on it, sounded great just failed to live up to the description. read more

Cute place with good food and drinks! The atmosphere is fun and eclectic. Someone asked if it was nice? I had to say that nice is probably not the word, but cool is probably better. The food was great. We had tacos, nachos and the plantains were amazing (one of my fav items that is hard to find). The cider was good and I'm not usually a fan. The guys enjoyed their beer. Derive wad good too, but be prepared for a little more "self service" by ordering at the bar. The bartenders Devon and Madison were super friendly and made us out of Towner's feel welcome. I would def hit them up next time I'm in town read more

Cool place with good food and drinks. The peach beer was very enjoyable and the fried green tomatoes were fantastic!

Great service and cider, but it makes it hard to enjoy when the establishment is so hot inside. I understand that it is the peak of summer, but other establishments we frequent do not have this issue. Please fix the AC! read more

I've been coming to Gypsy Circus for years and always have had positive experiences. Tonight was the best experience I've had here to date!

Great Service. Great Atmosphere. This is where my daughter wanted to go on her 21st birthday. The flights were great for a tasting.

Drinks and staff were top notch. Great place to stop and sample some new drinks. Would recommend for everyone to try this local business!

Madison bartender was excellent. The pitmaster eggrolls are amazing. Use the barbecue sauce instead of the salsa comes with it. Ciders on top 15 beers on top. Music is decor is on point for atmosphere. read more

Good food. Great cider. Fantastic staff! Love trivia nights there! Jonathan, Cassidy, Madison and all the others!

I'm sorry, however my review has gone from 5 stars to 1 star after the last few visits we've had to the location. We first started visiting Gypsy Circus over a year ago; their bartenders were great, their beverages were pretty good, and prices were fair (and pretzels were AMAZING). Then COVID hit. At first everything was good - they had bottles of sanitizer on every table, enforced social distancing rules, and the pretzels were still awesome. However, the last few times we've been, it's gone sharply downhill. Tonight when we went there were almost no masks being worn. There was a singer INSIDE with a table of 9 under 6 feet away. The bartenders rarely wore masks. The bar was crowded, no distancing - I couldn't even comfortably pay my tab. I now understand why the Tri-Cities has the second highest increasing COVID rates per capita. What's worse? THE PRETZELS WERE COLD! The shrimp bowls (for $9/ea) had about half a cup of rice, 6 Sysco lukewarm shrimp, and some mess of "slaw" on top. It was an absolute joke. (Actually the last 2 times the pretzels were cold and the cheese was congealed.) Gypsy Circus - you need to get your shit together. You were once great. Now, I'm sorry to say, but I don't know that we'll be back. read more

Visited Gypsy Circus while in town for weekend. Probably the highlight of my weekend in Kingsport. Tried a couple of ciders and some apps. Both were great. The Nashville Hot is an excellent cider. The staff were very nice and friendly. Overall, the vibe of this place is awesome. If I find myself back in Kingsport, I will definitely return. read more

I loved this place. It's a great place to detour on on thee way past on 81. They have a nice selection on beers and ciders. It would be a great place to hang out in nice weather because they have a deck and are working on a new patio. There's a stage inside for live music. I would go hang out at Gypsy Circus Taproom again. The bartender was awesome also. read more

Nice range of ciders that are very creative! I'm not a cider fan but the Concord grape cider was pretty good. Dry and sweet. Helpful folks. Awesome back patio with games and numerous tables.

To know Gypsy Circus Cider is to love it. Even the snobbiest beer drinkers I know can get on board with this stuff. The cider is delicious. It's not overly sweet like you would expect from ciders that you've had in the past. And they've up the game by upping the alcohol content. They have crafted this stuff to perfection. The varieties are creative and will blow your taste buds away. We walked into the taproom and were greeted by a friendly bartender that was happy to offer suggestions. We both got a flight, which consists of five 4-oz pours, so that we could taste all ten of their tapped ciders. They were all so different. I loved the Chai cider. The Orange Blossom Honey Cyser was also one of my favorites. They also offer a variety of guest beers from other area breweries. Everyone's happy! The taproom itself is beautiful! They have obviously spent time money into this place and it shows. They offer evening entertainment and have food trucks on site for food. Their patio is also pretty stellar. This will happily be a regular stop for me when I'm in the area. read more

Interesting atmosphere and great selection of ciders to try. Different genre of entertainment.

What a fun, chill spot with the best cider I've had to date. The menu can be intimidating if you're used to chain restaurant menus with cheap, crap beer on tap but start with a flight. They have an excellent selection of local to the area beers as well as their own cider concoctions. The Gin botanical was my favorite until the really awesome bartender gave me a taste of the chai tea cider and I wish they canned it. They have a growler deal on Mondays that is fantastic if you're local-and it made me wish I still lived in my hometown. They run trivia nights and live music which makes this a great new spot in town. The staff is great and engaging with the regulars and new people to the establishment. read more
