Suttons Bay Ciders - View from the bar. - Breweries Near Me - Suttons Bay, Michigan

5 stars for the VIEW. You have to see this place. I did the $10 flight of all 8 ciders. I really liked a couple of them. The only complaint would maybe be how I asked if I could keep a little glass of I got the flight, and he said "sure, why not". So of course I got the flight with this agreement in mind- but he didn't hold up and let me keep the glass. I had to buy it for $4. Little turd. read more

One of the best views of every place we've been to on our tour of the area. They're doing some creative things with cider! They have a couple hoppy ones, which we weren't fans of, just like we don't like IPAs. The jalapeño infused cider was surprisingly good. read more

To start, they are up on a hill with a breathtaking view of the bay. The tasting room is awesome because of the large windows and nice decor that fits northwest Michigan. I'm not a cider person, but there were two ciders that I thought were good so that's saying a lot. Power Island cider was my favorite. My other was from their small batch which they don't always have. Stop by and taste a flight of cider. If you aren't a fan, the view makes it worth the stop. read more

While I haven't had the pleasure of visiting Sutton's Bay Ciders in person, I have been unbelievably pleased with the amazing ciders delivered to my home in Minnesota. The craftsmanship and quality is superb in each and every bottle. It's impossible to pick my favorite. The ordering and shipping could not be easier or more professional. This truly artisan quality work that has won over the hearts of my extended family. Don't confuse this with the average corporate hard cider. You can taste the thoughtfulness and passion that this small family cidery puts into every drop. What an amazing find. I could not recommend this more strongly. Thank you! read more

The view itself makes it worth it, I don't think I've ever seen such a beautiful view from a bar stool and I sat there for hours just staring out at the lake. We tried everything they had on tap and the special mulled wine (excellent) and some of their special mixed ciders. All of them were pretty good but the Smitten cider was head and shoulders above all the others and probably the best cider I have ever had. We had a pint each of just that and then I had another one where they added a peach tea bag to it and that made it even better. Staff is very friendly and informative, always willing to give you fast service and talk about cider. I will absolutely recommend this place to other people who go to Traverse City this was by far the highlight of all the tastings in the area we did. read more

So, really the most important part of this review is the view. Go for the view. Just do it. It's beautiful. I will say on the cider, that I was not a huge fan of the options. I had a flight, and it wasn't bad, but just wasn't what I look for in a cider. The flavors were a little muted, and just not to my taste. Go give your own tastebuds a shot and you may well disagree with me. The prices were somewhat steep. $7 for a pint. The flight only had about an ounce or two sample of each. But really, the go for the view, it makes it all worthwhile. read more

The look of joy when folks walk in the door and see the view out the back windows for the first time- priceless. The cider is incredible, but the staff is stellar. We've been coming to town for years and this is our most favorite place to visit. Trust me, it won't disappoint. Cheers! read more

This was our best stop of the day!! Great staff, amazing view and delicious ciders. We went home with 3 howlers, can't wait to drink them. Happy anniversary, and here's to many more successful years! read more

The Korzon family has truly done something amazing here! The view from the tasting room is reason enough to plan a visit. Their ciders are unique and delicious and the staff is friendly and knowledgable. Two thumbs up! read more

My husband wanted to try this place out because he had heard of the beautiful views and let me tell you it did not disappoint! The views and atmosphere of SBC was probably my favorite of the day. The staff was SO friendly and fun to have our tasting with. The view from the bar over the bay is unmatched. They also have a cute little dog who runs the property (love the dog friendly places in the area). It was busy when we got there but it is also June and bachelorette party season. I would love to come back when it is a little slower day so we can sit outside on the gorgeous deck. Overall really excited we found this place! read more

Can't say enough great things about this place. They were so nice, the view was fantastic, and the ciders were the best!

Amazing view, cozy, friendly service, delicious cider, and wonderful service!!! Will visit every time I'm here

By far, our favorite place that we stopped for the entire weekend! From the outside, its just a small building, but once you get inside and look out that window, its breathtaking! Standing at the bar, you get your cider and a bowl of popcorn, all while you are facing the beautiful bay while a cracking fireplace is going behind you. Perfect. We got two flights of cider that was recommended to be perfect for couples. It allowed us to try everything on their menu. We loved everything we tried and even took home a bourbon-infused cider. So good! They also had mulled cider available too, as it was a cold day when we visited. During the summer they have a lookout deck that overlooks the water. They also have an outside firepit and corn hole and giant jenga available. The owner was very knowledgable and friendly. Makes you want to support him as the "little guy" compared to some of the other giants in the area. Will definitely be back and very much recommend! read more

Super great ciders, super beautiful view, friendly staff. Good stuff. The highlander cider infused with lavender is amazing. All the ciders are good, not sweet artificial mainstream garbage. read more

Excellent cider on a hill overlooking an orchard and Lake Michigan. Great patio on a sunny day but a welcoming, rustic bar inside too. Try the flight and then mix a few of the ciders together to get even more funky tastes. Cherry Fest was my favorite but I liked them all except maybe for Highlander, which is infused with lavender. I discovered I liked the smell more than the taste. The "cider tender" was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive even though he had just been stung by a bee moments before. Oh - and by all means: try the popcorn. Wow. It's unbelievable. read more

Fantastic views for a tasting. Nice variety on the 6 sample paddle, and they have suggestions on mixing ciders. Great dog too.

Delicious ciders, fabulous service and amazing views! We stopped by on a rainy day and couldn't be happier with the experience. Highly recommended for a true Leelanau experience. read more

I'm a pretty big cider fan and the Suttons Bay Highlander (Lavender) was probably my favorite cider of all time. Came home with a growler. Awesome place. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful. The view was priceless. It was raining while we were there, but it would have been wonderful to sit outside and sip on some Highlander. We will definitely be back. read more
