Serpentine Cider, paired with Smokin Js BBQ, creates a delightful fusion of craft beverages and mouthwatering barbecue. Visiting around 4:30, we caught the happy hour special on ciders until 5:30, a sweet deal. The added bonus of a Harry Potter movie night, with TVs scattered throughout the somewhat cozy yet bustling space, added a charming touch.Despite its size, the brewery drew a sizable crowd, transforming into a lively atmosphere just 30 minutes into our visit. Sampling the apple hard cider and apricot hard cider proved a delightful experience, thanks to the friendly server who guided us through the menu. Notably, the separate server for Smokin Js BBQ ensured we enjoyed absolutely delicious food alongside our drinks. Planning to return for another round, Serpentine Cider and Smokin Js BBQ make for a fantastic combo, perfect for an evening out with my girlfriend.

Overall very chill place to sip some cider and have some Smoking J's bbq if you decide (they share the same space).They offer a really good and extensive selection of cider (both seasonal and everyday selections). I love cider so I really enjoyed what we ordered. The staff is kind just chilling behind the bar and won't approach you until you ask them for help. We had a 5 cider flight sampler which was perfect for the 2 of us to share. We had a pumpkin spice flavor that was really good and tested just like thanksgiving, the pineapple, pineapple coconut (was my least favorite), guava, and pineapple hibiscus (this was my favorite).

Came here for some last minute drinks and remembered this amazing spot! We went on late afternoon on a Saturday and there were a couple of groups but there was plenty of seating inside and outside. Had to get the full pour of the Sour Cherry because I loved that one last time and it was so good!!!! It might be my favorite alcoholic drink of all time and they sell crowlers and cans of them too. My boyfriend got to the Guava and we hadn't tried that one last time but he said he loved this one too! Didn't get them this time but I definitely will next time I stop by!

I really like the vibes here! It shares a building with Lost Cause and Smokin' J's BBQ (previously Rollin' Roots) and I quite enjoyed it!I got the POG (Passionfruit, Orange, Guava) during the happy hour so it was 40% off for the full pour! The service was excellent and speedy! The guy at the bar was very patient with trying to give me input on what to get. In general, the ciders here are not too much on the sweet side, they are a bit drier, so something to keep in mind!Love that despite it being a small funky spot, the aesthetic is cool, with wall art on the bathroom doors and walls. We also came during the karaoke night (didn't partake though).I'll have to come back for a flight though! (Not included in happy hour specials I believe)Parking wasn't too bad for a Friday night (it wasn't too busy) and there is room for parking alongside the street too. Tables inside and outside, so it shouldn't be too hard to snatch a place to sit. Recommend coming to play board games (bring your own or use one of theirs, they have quite a few available to play!) while sipping on cider :)

[Food/Drinks]- Cider Flight: They all tasted good but my favorite one is the strawberry one cause there's a nice sweetness that's not overpowering.- Frozen Cider: My friend got the Juniper as a frozen cider and she highly recommended it. Nice to get on a warm day. - Brisket: Tender, juicy, flavorful. Was tastier than I expected! Great with beer[Service]- Friendly, chill, attentive[Ambiance]- Has indoor and outdoor seating - Spacious and has a air hockey table[Overall]- Friends brought me here cause I liked ciders and we had a nice time!- Would recommend if you like ciders as there's a variety here compared to most breweries. - Also a plus that they have food here!

Affordable refreshing cider! Guava cider was good and was able to enjoy some Smokin' Js bbq with it. Plenty of seating, spacious, nice place to hang out. Friendly service

Went for trivia night and had a blast, get there early on trivia night or you won't get a seat. Service was good and I enjoyed myself quite a bit.

Fantastic ciders and food!!

I absolutely love Serpentine Cider. This location also has BBQ and mead. While I haven't tried the BBQ yet, I have tried the mead and it's great as well.I love that the cider has both traditional and experimental flavors and none of the cider has added sugar. They even have nom alcoholic options as well. I highly recommend stopping by. Also dogs are welcome!

Delicious cider with plenty of options. BBQ available inside. No AC and the parking lot is narrow. Patio in the court yard and indoor seating available.

Really cool spot! I'm a cider lover and immediately knew we had to stop by here when we were in town for the weekend. The employees are super nice and helpful; they give great recommendations. The inside is of the shop is gorgeous (the snake art is epic), and we also loved getting to sit at the front window barstools and people-watch on a beautiful day. My husband and I shared two different three-flavor flights--my favorites were the pomegranate mint (to die for) and the pineapple (sweet and tasty) while my husband favored the guava one almost exclusively. The apple one was probably my least favorite since it very much resembled a white wine rather than a cider, as their menu describes. Whether you're a cider fan or not, the variety of flavors here has something for everyone.
