What a beautiful, CLEAN, friendly, and inviting venue!…read more Aside from incredible cider at more than fair prices (try the classic, the Mule cider, and the Imperial (if you want more bang in your cider)), Nine Pin is absolutely SPOTLESS inside - so impressed with how clean this place is. Also impressive are their Bavarian pretzels with Cider Cheese, the ambient music, the selection of games to play, and their robust calendar of events. The team members working there are super friendly and knowledgeable. One of the highlights of this visit was watching a couple at a nearby table order a cider flight, and it comes as an impressive display of nine tap offerings framed in a nine-pin bowling pin diamond - WOW!!! Though I am not in Albany often, I do have a few friends in the area and rest assured the next time I am in this city, Nine Pin will be where I ask to meet up with all of my friends. I'm excited for another trip here. Well done Nine Pin!

I really like this place!…read more Food is good. Had some of the apps and pizzas. Nothing remarkable, but still great overall! Cider flight was fun. I also like that they do offer real cocktails. My 8 year old daughter love the donuts and mocktails. Overall, perfect for big groups. You order at the counter, so you don't need to stress about splitting the bill. Easy spot to bring kids. We brought our own board games and art materials to entertain our kids ages 1-8 years old. No issues!

Walk around and behind the store and then up the dirt road leading between greenhouses. The cidery is on the right. The front part has a few tall tables and the bar. Go through the doorway to the left of the bar and it opens up to a huge space with picnic tables. Beyond that is a huge fire pit and Adirondack chairs. It's a really cute spot.

You can not beat the setting and the atmosphere at the Cidery. Wonderful place for all types and…read moresizes of groups. Fabulous and creative food from Yummy Kitchen. The selection of brews and ciders is of good quality, but limited. The only reason for less than five stars is the $8.00 price of drafts and canned ciders and beers. Eight dollars!? I know there's been inflation over the past two years and every business has to make their margins, but c'mon! I think there's some severe price gouging occurring.

What a great place!…read more We stopped off in the afternoon on a Wednesday during a short trip to the Berkshires. First off, LOVE that you can bring the dogs. Is this normal for an orchard? I'm not familiar. They have the cutest little store with apple cider donuts, fudge, little store items including an apple liqueur of some kind that I was lucky enough to try and that shit is DANGEROUS. They also have a wine tasting area and cider/beer tasting area. We got 2 apple cider donuts (obviously) which were incredible. We also tried a cider flight. I asked for "the fruitest shit you have" and we got a nice spread of different and interesting things including a lavender cider. All of the staff were super nice and friendly. The place is also massive if you are into a lot of walking and things.

One of the owners, Sarah, did a wine tasting for me and was extremely friendly and provided some great background on the various wines. The wines were really good and they had a good variety of sweet and dry options. There's a nice cozy wood burning fireplace with couches to sit and enjoy a glass of wine in the winter months. For those who want to be more active, there is snowshoeing available with snowshoes for rent while you're there. Didn't try that but maybe next year :)

A Perfect Fall Stop - Apples, Cider, and Charm! We had a…read morewonderful visit to Indian Ladder Farms Cidery & Brewery -- the perfect pit stop after a fun morning of apple picking! The U-pick experience was fabulous, with a great variety of apples available. We picked both Gala and Honeycrisp apples -- the Honeycrisp were a clear fan favorite: crisp, juicy, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. The Galas were equally delightful -- did you know they're a cross between Golden Delicious and Kidd's Orange Red? Originally developed in New Zealand in 1934, they've definitely earned their reputation as the ideal lunchbox apple with their sweet and mild flavor. Pick-your-own runs from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM daily, and the weather couldn't have been better for it. Afterward, we stopped into the farm store (open until 6 PM daily) and were impressed by the variety of apples and other local goods available. To top it off, we grabbed a cider donut (delicious, of course!) and checked out the newly rebuilt cidery and brewery. The space is spacious, modern, and very welcoming -- clearly designed with comfort and community in mind. Staff were friendly and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend a visit -- whether you're there to pick apples, sip a cider, or just take in the fall vibes. A lovely outing all around!

One word: unbelievable! Before you visit, though, you must…read moreknow that their tasting room is attached to their residence, so when you pull in, it will feel like you're visiting your friends or family and not a cidery. You also need to know that it will be one of the best cider experiences you've ever had due to the uniqueness of the product and location. They specialize in cider that is aged in spirit barrels - everything from Scotch to gin to tequila to rum and everything in between. As a result, most of their ciders are still and have no carbonation. They do, however, have a few carbonated ciders. When I visited, my boyfriend and I each had a flight of four, which came with a tasting glass for $12. It was a great way to try their different offerings. My favorites were the Cranberry Crisp carbonated cider and Cidre de la Porte, which is a carbonated cider aged in Port wine barrels. They also have several cocktail specials that use their ciders. We were greeted by one of the owners, who explained everything they had to offer and brought us out on their spacious deck. There were so many seats outside that overlooked their small apple orchard and property. We were the only ones there at the time, and it was so incredibly peaceful. This cidery is a hidden gem that I hope more people discover - especially with the amazing fall weather coming up!

In A Nutshell:…read more -Roger's Cideryard is an amazing place to grab some unique ciders made directly from their apple orchard. -You will also find some yummy food like their Poutine & Chicken Wings. -You gotta order both of those items plus their cider, it all pairs up well for awesome afternoon or evening. -You can sit indoors or outdoors on their tables enjoying the moment. -The service here is super friendly too. Overall, this is a nice place to come if you are ever in this part of the country, specifically Upstate New York!

The cider here is so delicious. We had tried it at a couple local bars and after being blown away,…read moredecided we had to go direct to the source. Mitch, the brewmaster himself, was serving up glasses of his Traditional, Ginger Cider, and Strawberry Jalapeño. Having been here in years past to pick up produce from the farm, we were more than thrilled to see this family-run business expand with a cidery. Top it off with the ambiance of picnic tables outside overlooking rolling orchards, you've got yourself a truly special experience. We asked when we would be able to buy some back home in California, and when we were told "probably never", we were more impressed than bummed out. This will have to remain a special trip when we're upstate every summer, and I'm more than ok with that

What a great concept to bring to this lovely but rather sleepy Catskills hamlet…read more Came the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend when staying nearby and had a great time. The owner seems very dedicated to having live music and supporting the arts so they had a band playing that actually sounded good! Lots of young families around enjoying the lawn games. Local ciders and beers were reasonably priced and tasty. I'm usually not the biggest fan of either but I ended up trying a peanut butter cider that turned out to be absolutely delicious. Not too sweet or tart and tasted actually quite natural. Ended up taking a growler home to share with friends. We weren't hungry so we didn't try the food but they had a chicken barbecue going and were selling cheese boards that looked pretty great. The bathroom situation is port-o-potties but to my surprise and delight they were actually clean and they offer a handwashing station outside. A++ recommend and would return.

Not highly carbonated either! i love it. Also my fav is the Black Currant cider, it pairs perfectly for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners!

You can sit at the bar, at a booth or one of their long communal tables. Highly recommend Left Bank Ciders!
