Jabanero strawberry and blueberry cheesecake are a couple that I remember the best. I'd recommend a sampler tray on your first visit, so you can test out a few before your commit. The bar service was attentive and the server was very helpful! I was lucky to connect with the owner, Dave, while there that night, too. He ensured that everything was running smoothly and that we were all satisfied. If you're in the mood for video games or board games, this is the place for you! The ambiance is relaxed... you're on your own time. Nobody is going to rush you out the door. Definitely give this place a try next time you're in the mood for a night of drinks, and a different, positive experience.

You order at the bar and they have an extensive menu. As a fair warning, if mead is not your thing you probably won't love it here. Otherwise, it's great! If you can't choose from their large selection they have a mead flight option. I thought that their pricing was very reasonable. They did have live music at some point during the night and it did make it hard to hear and talk to people so keep that in mind for a gathering.

We were the only ones for quite some time and it was a little odd as when we first walked in the lights in the entranceway were off so it almost made them feel like they were closed. Thankfully, there was a server who was folding Silverware who greeted us and had us take a seat. They have several ciders that are available, and I opted to start with a flight. I tried the majority of their seasonal offering with the exception of the pumpkin spice as I'm not a fan in general. I really like the spice cider. It is my favorite. I did end up ordering a glass of it. The food options arevery artisan. My husband opted for the meatballs . They are very large, the overall flavoring to him seemed a little blah. I did try them. I found them to be a very moist and thought the flavoring was good. I opted to do the featured flatbread, which was the mac attack. If you've had a famous, fast food chains signature burger with thousand island dressing you will find similarities. I did find the flatbread crust was a little bit to thick for my liking and there was more sauce on it than there was actual meat. It was OK. They have a private lot, which is fantastic as parking is at such a premium in the city.

It serves European-style foods (e.g., charcuterie, braided pretzels, dips, wings, pottages/soups, harvest salads, lobster rolls, flatbreads, and desserts) and award-winning KingView meads, wines, and hard ciders; PA beers and liquors; cocktails; and non-alcoholic beverages. My husband and I ate one lunch here. An employee very promptly and courteously served us. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Charcuterie Nordic Board - 5 stars - We got the "Serf's Meal" for 1-2 people, but much larger boards are available. It consisted of cured meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables with dip, dried fruits, crackers, breads, and nuts. It was our favorite food here, and I highly recommend ordering it. Gatherer Flatbread - 4.5 stars - This thin-crust pizza was topped with sauce, mozzarella, tomato, mushroom, spinach, roasted red pepper, and red onion. It was the perfect size for me to eat. Eat it promptly before it gets slightly soggy. Coastal Warmth Lobster Roll - 4.5 stars - This Connecticut lobster roll was served warm with butter. My husband liked the amount of meat and its flavor. Eat it promptly before the lobster meat gets rubbery. Drink Flight - 5 stars - A flight consists of four 3.5-ounce pours. You get to choose from dozens of dry, semi-sweet, and sweet meads, wines, and hard ciders as well as beers. One of the flavors that I wanted was out of stock, but I greatly enjoyed the sweet Banana Berry hard cider, Late Harvest hard cider, Flagship Niagara white wine, and Pink Lemonade mead. Considered the oldest of all alcohols, the Vikings used mead in religious rituals, weddings, funerals, and other ceremonies. KingView sources its honey from local beekeepers and donates a percentage of all sales to fight the declining bee population. Customers may purchase bottles of alcohol in person or online for personal or wholesale use. For our meal, we paid a total price of $65 plus a tip. On certain days, the business holds public events such as live music and trivia, and customers may also rent the space for private events.

Arsenal is conveniently located about 3 minutes off I-79 at Soergels Orchard. Today we bought a pumpkin cider and two sorbets. I believe the sorbet is a seasonal product and it is definitely worth trying out. It was extremely smooth and flavorful, and it was actually better then I thought it was going to be. As for the Apple Pumpkin flavor cider, I can not wait to try it later. I do not have any doubts that I won't love it. This is also a seasonal flavor. I love how they are continuously making new flavors and every time I arrive there is one I have yet to hear of. Their Archibald cider is my favorite and it is always available as far as I know. The bottles the cider is poured into are glass and you can bring them back every time you go back for more! When you do that, you do not have to pay the price of the bottle. If you are ever in the area, I suggest stopping in!

I really dropped the ball as I never took any pictures so I deserve a Yelp demerit. They offer red and white wines, beer, ciders and mead. On the food side they offer burgers, handhelds, flatbreads and a decent variety of appetizers. Now, I enjoy sweet wines as does my wife so we both had a few glasses of the Moscato which we really enjoyed. They do have a Cab, a Pinot and a blended dry that I did not sample. Now, the mead. I really liked it here and they boast having a 700 year old recipe that they use to make it. I really cant speak to the food as we only ordered a small cheese plate having eaten before meeting our friends here. I must say though that the burgers and things our friends ordered looked pretty damn tasty and they all said enjoyed there choices. A great time was had by all and looking forward to returning in the near future.

I had purchased a Groupon for mead tasting for a reasonable price: included 8 tastings, two free glasses, and a tour of the facility. Something low key to do, after arriving and driving all day. Ruthann, and her husband were equally knowledge on their mead wines, the honey history and how their business came to flourish. Don't be alarmed if you arrive in the earlier evening, and see no cars in their lot. The owners provide a number to contact, on the door and arrive shortly after if the place is locked. The tour, and explanation of the portion/ratio of honey to mead, and history of the building it sits in was fasacinating. Before being a meadary, the building history dates back to the 1930's.

This location does not not have food, but you can bring your own in. There's a restaurant called Allegheny Grill across the street, along with a pizza shop if you plan to eat. Service was absolutely fantastic as well, everybody was so passionate about their wines, and also making sure you found the perfect glass. I will say, the wine was not the best I've ever had. Most of them seem to run on the sweet side, but that's not to say that might be someone else's taste! I tried the Riverstone red, and it was pretty good, but I think the trick is to get their fruit wines, their pear wine was delicious, it was like dessert! I will absolutely be back here, many times over! The wine is just OK, but the experience is top-notch!
