We stopped by Wild Hare Cider in Warrenton and really wanted to love it. The cider and atmosphere were both great, and the space has a nice local charm that makes it an enjoyable place to hang out. The food, however, was a letdown. I ordered wings that were way overcooked, and the meat was dry. My wife got a pizza that looked good but had no structure and completely fell apart when you picked it up. It seemed like only one person was running both the front and back of the house, which probably explains some of the issues. They were friendly and doing their best, but it was clearly too much for one person to handle. We'd definitely come back for the cider and the atmosphere, but probably not for a full meal next time. read more

We decided to check out this cidery for some weekend fun and were pleased with our experience here. When we entered the front door, we were warmly welcomed and we explained it was our first time visiting. The cider-tender went over the menu with us and told us more about the small-batch options. We both decided to order a flight and brought the drinks out to the back garden area. The outdoor seating included a few tables and a small bar that looked like it would be able to be staffed for special events. This area needed a bit of TLC (especially since there were a couple piles of animal poop), but it was otherwise pleasant. We really liked our cider flights. It was very helpful that each individual board was labeled with the names of the ciders so we could remember our favorites. I tried the Hatch, Cherry, and Rocket. We asked if it was okay to order food from one of the surrounding businesses and were told it was totally fine to bring outside food into the garden area. After grabbing some meals, we returned for another round. We both found the Cherry to be our favorite and each wanted a full glass to enjoy after the flight. Alas, when we went back inside, the name was being erased from the board because they had just sold their last glass of this small-batch cider. I had another glass of the Hatch instead. I had a good experience here and really liked the ciders. Next time I know not to wait on one of small-batch items if I really love it! read more

The location is beautiful and atmosphere is very cute. I've been here in the past and the cider was always ok. Not great, but certainly drinkable. I was there Saturday at 1:30pm, and the place wasn't busy. Maybe 1 small group and 2 couples. There was no one behind the bar, and there was a sign that said "making food, brb". I waited for at least 5 minutes, and I didn't see any staff at all. A couple came in and waited in line with me for about another 5 minutes. Finally, a patron at the bar said "she's making food". After a while, they walked over to the kitchen and I could see them very politely tell someone in another room there were at least 4 people in line at the bar. I heard someone respond very irritated and rude. The patron came back and I asked if they knew if it would be much longer. They shook their head and said she (the staff member in the kitchen) didn't know and it would be at least 10 more minutes. I opted to leave instead. Didn't see the point to wait any longer for a cranky staff member and ok cider. read more

So much better with Jen as the manager. The staff is so happy. One of the best places to hang out in Warrenton. Best part is Layla! read more

I had the pleasure of visiting the new location of Wild Hare Hard Cider on their first day - the new location is in Old Town Warrenton. I've visited the original location of Wild Hare (Bluemont, VA) .before they changed ownership and moved to Leesburg, VA. The inside of the Warrenton location is cozy. There is outdoor seating out back in a courtyard. I did a whole tasting flight - six ciders in all. For the uninitiated - this is not the mass produced sugar bomb ciders that you find in the grocery store. Instead, these are crisp, dry, tart ciders. You can taste the apples - not a load of sugar. Well crafted and delightful ciders! They accept Apple Pay for payment. Welcome to Warrenton - Wild Hare! #WildHareHardCider read more

THIS PLACE IS SO EXCELLENT! They had about half a dozen ciders on hand and I sampled all of them. The best being the Mango-Jalapeno by far... which is a shame because it is a small batch... but 2nd place goes to Coba, the pineapple coconut cider. I don't usually care for sweeter drinks, which this was, but I enjoyed it and ended up buying it as a 4 pack of cans (might make a good mimosa?) They have upstairs seating as well as outdoors if the weather is nice. I would absolutely return. We had a great time. read more

Such an open yet cozy place. Never too loud and comfortable every time we visit. Friendly service for both humans and dogs. Hope they'll have more food selection in the future! read more

What a lovely, lively Atmosphere! The Space -clean and refurbished, lots of hardwood. They even had what looked like a Kitchen and shower in the bathroom--you can tell this was recently someone's home that was converted into a business. In my mind, that makes it extra cool. Lovely Biergarten and outdoor bar out back, so we can't wait to visit during the warmer weather! The upstairs was a chill enough place to bring our toddler. Ciders were a little out there, flavor wise, but I really went for it when I picked them. They were out of the Coba on draft but we picked some up to have later and it was DELICIOUS. I didn't realize that the apples were local to the area but duh, so that's also cool. read more

Located in historic downtown Warrenton, Wild Hare is a cute little cider pub that is just as awesome as their Leesberg location. Parking could potentially be a problem during the day when all of the shops are open. The bar area itself is a little small, but luckily there is a very pretty outdoor garden seating area. Today I tried the raspberry mimosa and a pretzel. The mimosa was delicious, the pretzel was good too. I was a little disappointed because they ran out of the cheese to accompany it. The gentleman (dunno if he was the owner or an employee) seemed very frazzled. They could definitely use another bar outside or another set of hands running food. Being busy is a good problem to have. Definitely a cute spot that I plan on returning to. read more

Came here last Sunday while passing through Warrenton - what a gem! Cozy atmosphere, friendly and welcoming staff, and delicious cider. Make sure to grab a pretzel, too! read more

Great cider and friendly staff. Love the new location! Highly recommend the jalapeno cider. Perfect to pair with a local charcuterie. Took a growler home and did just that. Delicious! read more

Stunning backyard in a adorable downtown quiet American setting spells only a perfect afternoon of Summer sips and drinks. Small craft cidery is putting out some big bold and amazing flavors. You should start with a flight of all six of their ciders on tap.they are able to give most of these in to-go containers, along with some canned stuff in the refrigerator. quickly find a spot out back with your socially distant pod, and start to sipping. The backyard is beautifully tree-lined looking into the two-story building with a small alleyway leading back out to the street. The trees give just the right amount of shade and light to cast star like shadows from the leaves upon the ground. The cider is delicious, complex, tasty, bright, and the perfect amount of fruit and sugar to make them extremely drinkable. With flavors like mango, apple cinnamon, and caramel, the Crafters are definitely playing with the many ways in which apples pair deliciously with other fruit flavors. Right now one of my go to hit cideries, this is the perfect summer location after a day of hiking in and near Front Royal or it's Shenandoah. A must visit, a must drink, by all of their ciders and bring them home to enjoy within the next week. read more

I absolutely love this place! Such a great find. I'm not normally a cider person but these ciders are to die for and the location is adorable! read more

My favorite place to go for a cider! They always have multiple on tap and the staff is always beyond friendly! Love hanging out with friends here. read more

So the "new" Wild Hare in Warrenton is in a historic grain mill building and they did a nice job on the interior but there's a few key things missing; A) they have done a terrible job marketing and promoting it; it's tucked down behind main st and unless you're looking for it you wouldn't find it. B) Food- they only have soft pretzels most days. Some days they serve tacos but it's hot or miss. No drinking establishment survives without decent food options. (Wart Hog Brewery??). C) Staff- both times I've been to the new Wild Hare they've only had one person working. D) music- no live music and what's playing on the speaker is hip hop. Not the type of music folks here in rural Virginia go for. Know your customer base. Why move off their prior quaint Main St. location & spend the money on renovations this place and have such big fails?? The cider itself is decent, but that won't cut it for most people. read more

We adore this place. We walk from our house as often as possible. I love that their staple drinks are always available in the can but what's on tap rotates seasonally read more

The business is located in a small older house that has been converted to a restaurant. The main bar is downstairs. The upstairs is set up like a living room with comfy furniture and stylish decor. The back yard has been converted into a large garden patio with uncrowded seating areas. It will be a wonderful place to sit in the Fall when the weather cools off. The staff is friendly and explained their ciders. I decided to split 2 flights of all flavors. I would recommend this is you want to get a sense of their offerings. My only criticism is they don't offer much food outside of their dinner seating time. I had their only non dessert offering, a pretzel with cream cheese and fruit chutney. It was delicious. I would have stayed longer but I was hungry and didn't want to consume more alcohol on an empty stomach. I understand restaurants need to balance staffing to maintain a profit but there could be other food options that wouldn't require a cook. read more

Love this local place : ) great cider and hang out! We liked it so much we became/purchased regular "gold" members. It's small and cozy on the inside... we had fun with chatting with the other local customers. Stop by, they open at 2pm, try out a flight of different flavors - you will be happy there. read more

Good location- good setting! I do think 7$ for a small little glass of cider is a bit much... But I guess since they are still getting started- they are working out the kinks and prices! Hopefully this place takes off and they can really add things to make this place stand out. read more

Saw this place as we were walking down Main Street. What a great little bar!! We love cider and are so happy there's a cider bar in town! We will definitely be back, we tried two flights. They have 6 on tap with growlers and cans for on the go. They have BBQ and some bar food for snacks. We tried the chicken tacos with mango salsa and they're were sooooo tasty!! read more

Good selection of unique ciders, also has a great outdoor area in the back.

Been here a few times now. The cider is great, but overpriced for what it is. 7 dollars for an 8 or 10 ounce glass is quite stingy in my opinion- I could understand that price for a pint. I'd love to come back sometime soon but I do hope that management takes the pricing and portion sizes into consideration. read more

Just what Old Town Warrenton needs. Even if your not a cider drinker you will be after visiting here. Front bar is small and quite, open courtyard in the back is a great place to hang out. Prices are reasonable and they do serve food via 'Divine Swine' which is great barbecue. They're still finding their stride with a new location growing but will definitely return. read more

Nice little place and definitely an asset to Old Town Warrenton. Fun to stop in once in a while. Their ciders are good, but I'm honestly not too crazy about their permanent flavors. The ones I have liked the best have been their limited small batch ciders. I've had two different flavors of these and both have been excellent. Their selection of food isn't great, but they do bring in food from different places to mix it up. The place has a nice, homey vibe to it, but it is small and seating is very limited, especially inside. read more

It's like a hidden garden on the back patio! My husband and I had about 45 mins before an appointment and decided to drop in. We did a taster of all 6 ciders and they were all really good. Cider wasn't too sweet, and though my husband doesn't drink cider, even he said it was the best he's ever had. There was a good vendor that day serving hot dogs. They were delicious! read more

Really cute place to grab a taste of cider. Cozy bar area with tables and the outside courtyard looked fun also

I absolutely love this place. The cider is fantastic. I really loved the Hatch...not too sweet and full of flavor. The crumb cake was to die for. What really made this place special was the employee working at the location. Her son is the cider maker and she makes you feel welcome and fills the place with great energy. I highly recommend! read more

Attempted to go in with my husband today. Music was so loud we felt like we were at a concert. In front of the amps. The gentleman who followed us out to write on the chalkboard heard us say it was too loud (twice), but didn't offer to turn down the music, or say it was quieter in the backroom, or there was an area out of doors, or ANYTHING. Obviously he could care less if we tried their cider or food. Not meant for our demographic, or anyone who gets migraines. read more

I really enjoyed this place, they have some really refreshing ciders- also the bartender was such a lovely person!

Every time I go into this place I experience something new. Small batch ciders mean they always have something new and exciting to try. There's not a bad seat in the house and the rotating food (Divine Swine bbq and Freed's biscuits to name two) keep things lively. I'm so glad these folks came to Warrenton! read more
