This place is just slightly off the beaten path--it's near Pike Place, but faces away from the Sound, opening onto Western and Lenora. We more or less stumbled upon it because we had parked in the garage just below. I really liked it. A great selection of ciders--I really like their Pub Dry--which you can flight. We opted to try a couple of varieties ourselves, rather than a flight, and they let us taste them before we committed. Food options were pretty sparse when we were there. They were out of all the folds (it wasn't even 6!), so all that we could get were sausages in a bun. Perfectly edible, but low-key. Locust's emphasis is certainly on the cider, less on the food! Staff was friendly and helpful. When my girlfriend accidentally spilled her full glass because the table was slightly rickety, they replaced it without question. That was so nice! The place is pretty open, with lots of natural light. Has a really good vibe. There are plenty of options for seating, but the place could easily accommodate more tables and seats. There's a lot of unoccupied floor space. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm downtown or near the Market. read more

Super chill place and a great spot once you start feeling claustrophobic walking around Pike Place. There was plenty of place to sit and so many cider options that I had to get a flight. Wonderful open space with tons of windows for people watching. Very unique spread of flavors and a much needed spot to just sit and relax after a busy day. They also share a space with a coffee shop so you can drink some cider and then get a coffee to go read more

Ok I can never decide which ciders to try so I just did the whole flight for $20. Glad I did. Told the barkeep to go with dealers choice. Good mix of sweet and dry. My faves were Grasshoppah, Cold pressed, and surprisingly the Dark Cherry. If you like a hard cider its a fun place to swing by. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this fine after spending all day walking at Pike's place. I checked with the server to make sure they were gluten-free and he said yes they were. Typically, I tend to trust cider being gluten-free over beer. The server made some recommendations for my cider flight and I definitely pick a variety just to see what they're all like. Vanilla bean was definitely my favorite. It was very light, crisp, and had a hint of real vanilla. Will definitely be getting one again while I'm in town. The price was very reasonable! I got to have a taste and sampler of six types of cider. The ambience was nice. There were a few families there having a get together, so everybody was happy and cheerful. Very glad I found this place. It's not a very long walk from pikes place. read more

We were so overwhelmed by the amount of people at pike place. So glad we were able to escape and stumbled upon this "brewery" ***we were also looking everywhere to plug in our phone to charge for bit and couldn't find an outlet! Locust had 1 outlet on the side by the long bench*** I've tried their ciders before either as a guest brew or canned. It was nice to try it fresh from tap. They had a variety of flavors. We jokingly asked if the watermelon flavor tasted like 21st Amendments watermelon wheat beer and they included an extra sample in our flight.! So thoughtful and kind. And yes it tasted like it. Locust cider is a must stop in Seattle. - they have multiple locations too read more

The vanilla one. It is so dang good. You can order online... also there is a little secret menu of mixed ciders and they were amazing. It's a super cute vibe and we sat at the bar and got service right away. Overall it was an amazing experience. read more

We have been here before and the cider is always a favorite for us. Not a lot of food choices and special yesterday they only had flat bread. Bartender was nice the place was a bit messy and dirty, my husband and I played a little connected four but had to wash our hands after because of how dirty the pieces were. read more

Locust Cider Market did not disappoint in the cider department. I, very happily, got a small flight to try and each one was incredible. I'm not sure how often their flavors rotate, but I was definitely impressed with the Cherry and the Cinnamon Cranberry. While the cinnamon made me think of a holiday drink, it was super tasty, so it was worth it. I had the strawberry mojito and it was a bit sweet, but I also was pleasantly surprised at the taste. My least favorite was honey pear; oddly, it wasn't super pear flavored, which left me a bit confused. Overall, they were all good and I would love to get back and try more. The reason for the 4 stars is the "warm kettle chips" which is what my receipt read. They were not warm and honestly, a serious disappointment. They were bagged chips that were put onto a plate and sprinkled with a jar of parmesan cheese from the grocery store. Maybe if they were actually warm I would have forgiven the bag...or the nasty cheese. But definitely, stay away from them and just get cider. read more

What a fantastic spot! I love ciders and my boyfriend and I had visited so many breweries I figured a flight of ciders is called for. We ordered and sat right away to relax. The whole place is very open and gorgeous. Loved the video games to play while you drink. They also had some outdoor seating available. The food options looked delicious but we didn't have room for anything but the ciders. That was fine because the ciders were delicious. Every flavor better than the last. I might actually end up ordering from their website because I loved it so much! Very friendly staff too. Definitely check this place out if you like ciders! read more

Ok, how awesome is this? A cider brewery place that's connected directly to a coffee house next to it! Locust Cider was our next stop while walking around and exploring downtown Seattle. I really liked the huge selection of ciders that they had available on tap. We got a flight of six with the following ciders - blueberry, pineapple, pear, watermelon, vanilla bean, and barrel aged orange. The blueberry and the pineapple cider was my favorite, but the cider that I didn't like the most was the barrel aged orange, which was much too bitter for my taste. My dad said that the pear and the vanilla bean ciders were his favorites. We sat on the table facing the street, watching all the cars and people go by. They had a huge Connect 4 game inside, which I saw a small child play with, with help from their parents of course. Also inside were giant chairs that you can lay back on. I enjoyed Locust and I want to come back next time we visit Seattle! read more

Really tasty ciders! We got a flight and enjoyed all of them! We grabbed a six pack of the vanilla bean since we liked it so much actually. The service was efficient and friendly.

I love the feel of breweries but I'm not a huge beer person, so a cider brewery is perfect! There are a few in Seattle, but I was drawn into this one by a sign outside advertising their seasonal watermelon cider. We ended up getting a flight with watermelon, blueberry, cherry, mojito, and blackberry. The only one I wasn't a huge fan of was the mojito, but the rest were amazing! The pours were generous and the pricing wasn't bad. There were a few different seating areas: the bar, normal tables, and then these comfy chairs. They also had life-sized Connect 4 and other games, as well as flyers advertising a variety of fun upcoming events. This is such a great place to hang out, relax, and have some great drinks and entertainment! read more

Had some time to kill and it was of course, raining. Saw the sign outside, "Hot mulled cider" and that got my attention quick.

Awesome cider that shares a common space with Anchorhead coffee, just a stone's thrown from Pike Place Market. They offer up a fun variety of ciders ranging from super sweet to dry and even have a couple beers in the mix. My personal fav was the vanilla cider. The cidertender (is that a term?) couldnt have been friendlier or more accommodating and even made us a couple top notch personal pizzas. All around great experience, would 100% go back. read more

Absolutely amazing! The Vanilla Bean Cider is so mellow and delicious. The level of sweetness is what you'd hope for while not sacrificing flavor. Not quiet like any other cider I've had thus far. The beer-tender is by far one of the most friendly people I've encountered here. I'd definitely come back again! read more

We found this place trying to find another brewery. It was truly a hidden gem. I enjoyed the blackberry cider. The bartender was kind and generous with his time by telling us his favorites in Seattle. We appreciate his genuine customer service. This was my favorite spot in Seattle. I sampled six different ciders and asked the bartender to pick the last two of six. He also threw in another sample and challenged me to figure out which one it is on the board. The place is immaculate. Spacing is great. I'm so glad to see more places offering hooks to hang up the backpacks and purses. We also had a chance to charge up our phone since it was mid afternoon. read more

This place was AWESOME! The location was really great too and was so modern inside. Also was very clean and well kept. The bartender was super friendly and helpful picking our flight of ciders. Our absolute favorite was the vanilla bean, and I ended up getting some to go it was so good. I was sad when I drank the last of my cans! It was truly an incredible cider! Would recommend this place if you are in the area and we would go back in heartbeat if we are in the area. read more

This is one of our favorite cideries! We always like to try the new flavors and also the oldies, but goodies--our personal favorite is Vanilla Bean! This visit, however, we decided to try a new flavor--Spiced Plum! Soooo good! Tart, sweet, and spicy like a mulled cider! Pair this with the salty kettle chips flavored with your choice of chili lime (which we chose), buffalo ranch, parmesan, or honey garlic, and you have a perfect afternoon snack to enjoy as you do some people watching. Our server was pretty relaxed--no pressure, happy to share his opinion and some suggestions. Always a great experience when we're here! There's a bar to watch people walking on the street, games for kids and families to play and relax, and tables to kick back and enjoy your company! Definitely worth a stop--especially if you are about to board a cruise or are getting ready to head home! read more

I usually visit the Locust Cider spot at Alki beach, but...found myself in Seattle and wanted to come by for a cold one. I had the vanilla flavor after a request for a sweet beverage. Not planning on two but I really enjoy a fresh from the tap beverage so I also had the peach. The corner table had a fantastic sunny peekaboo view of the ocean. From here I watched the tourists from the cruise ship walking up the sidewalk. The nice weather and the street side windows were open too. So I switched seats a couple times to get different views and enjoy a beautiful sunny day. This is a dog friendly spot too. Games with directions are set out if you have a friend (lol). Locust cider is a great alternative to beer and tasty. Higly recommended. Parking downtown is challenging. I recommend public transportation if you can. There is a small food menu too. Enjoy yourself and be safe. SYOY! read more

While drinking my Latte at Anchorhead Coffee Co, I noticed an area on the other side of the building blocked off since it was still the morning. As the day went on while I was reading my book and the clock hit 11am they started moving the gates and opening up a bar. Lo and behold it was a Cidery colocated with the coffee house! I think I am just called to craft breweries and ciders, and if I am in a cider taproom I might as well give their ciders a go. And, it's basically juice anyway right? P.O.G.: A Sweet Cider made with Washington Apples blended with Passionfruit, Orange, and Guava. When you think of POG mixed with apples, this is what you get. A delicious combination that was super smooth. Vanilla Bean: A Sweet Cider made with Washington Apples blended with Real Vanilla. The vanilla definitely comes through giving it almost a cream soda-esque feel. The apples play secondary, and this is just a straight dessert. Dark Cherry: A Dry Cider made with Washington Apples blended with Sweet Dark Bing Cherries. It was barely sweet, leaning primarily dry with a bit of tartness and just enough fresh cherry flavor. Sour Cherry: A Cider made with Washington Apples blended with Sour Cherry Juice. Definitely on the dry side of ciders. Not too tart, even for being sour cherry juice. Apple flavor is still present, and in my opinion more prevalent than some of the other ciders I had. ___ read more

We needed a place to sit and relax after doing the touristy thing at Pike Place and Locust totally fit the bill! I got a flight and enjoyed reading a book in their lounge to decompress. The chai cider was so good and we were sad that they didn't have it available at this location to purchase in cans to take home. I also really liked their branding/logo and wanted to purchase a glass but sadly couldn't purchase this here either. This was disappointing but I still enjoyed our visit nonetheless. Since I was visiting from out of town, I'll have to keep an eye out for their brews but might try to swing by again next time I'm in town. read more

Run there now to try their Chai Cider!!! It's a seasonal cider and so delicious! It's semi dry with a great flavor profile. I also had the juicy peach, the pear, and their original dry cider. The juicy peach and pear were very sweet, but a great flavor! The original dry cider was refreshing and crisp. We loved the environment and the service from the knowledge bartenders. read more

My friends and I came on a Sunday afternoon and found a bench table right away. I shared a flight with a variety of ciders and a hazy ipa. They only had 1 hazy ipa on tap. They focus mainly on ciders and have some fruity, delicious ciders. You order at the front with all of the beers and ciders on tap and menu above which the beer-tender pours your beers and ciders then and there. Quick and easy service. My favorites out of the ones I tried were the vanilla and honey pear. Those two were the sweeter ones out of the 4 ciders we got. Vanilla tasted like a vanilla cream soda. So good. You can really taste the honey in the honey pear cider. It's a fun spot to hang out with friends and try some local cider. Highly recommend! read more

A laid back watering hole located conveniently next to Pikes Place and the waterfront. Seating seems to come in pairs here. Tables for two, swings for two, bar seating for two, it's a great spot for a mellow time and I even saw a laptop out. We chose this place specifically for their ciders. Flights were discounted when I came in Thursday (how cool!) so I ordered a flight of 4 and my friend 6. I ordered the honey pear, WA mule, dark maple, and apricot. The honey pear had strong hints of honey. The mule was light and crisp. The dark maple was heavy on the maple. As my friend described it "its like drinking pancakes". Questionable. The winner was by far the apricot. Subtle, fruity and very good. read more

Hubby and I had some time to kill before heading to the cruise port in Seattle. We happened to walk into Locust Cider Market Place. It was a chill space with lots of seating. Hubby ordered a beer to sip on while drank my water. He enjoyed it but said it wasn't anything special. One notable aspect of Locust was the bathroom. There was only one bathroom door with a pin code lock. The code was provided by the bartender. Once inside, I noticed there were several stalls and a row of sinks. It was a bit confusing until you walked in. People were waiting outside the door because it looked like a single bathroom, however, there were men, women and children all using the same bathroom. It was pretty awkward and not something I've ever seen before. A few people made comments and looked uncomfortable with this setup. Definitely one of the more bizarre bathroom situations. read more

Yummy cider. But GOSH I felt so bad the one guy working here on a Saturday nite. He had a great attitude.

Stopped by in the afternoon with my cousin and we had a blast! Bartender was very friendly. They had a variety of flavors, large seating area, and games (cards, connect 4, cornhole). The vanilla bean was my favorite, the honey pear and dark cherry also had great flavor. I recommend the flight so you can enjoy the taste this place has to offer! Definitely worth a visit. read more

We love Locust! We were told about joining the swarm and joined, and have loved it! They have event nights each week (game nights, trivia, etc.) and we love going to them, especially the trivia! They have some nice food options and we love having a panini or some fries! The cider is amazing and we love using the discounts we get as swarm members to bring some home! We love all the berry ciders and the vanilla bean, but they are all outstanding! We often come here and enjoy them with people from our apartment! The staff is always great and remembers us (and our dog!). We love locust and would highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't before! read more

I have to make a personal shout out to Josh for putting up with our neverending questions. He was so kind, patient, and knowledgeable. We were allowed to sample all of the flavors. He put up with our shenanigans as "those customers." They have a bathroom code to reduce the public from using them without purchasing goods. The space is very large and they offer games to play. I would definitely hang out here with my friends. read more
