HUGE cider selection. They have 18 taps and then a huge library of bottles and cans from all of the world. Food is amazingly done. Recommend the Cajun chicken sandwich and bread pudding. Awesome spot to stop by for after dinner drinks and dessert. Staff is also very nice and you will feel like regulars on the first day. Rose who works on Fridays is awesome. We love sitting there, chatting with her and trying new ciders. She also has good recommendations so don’t hold back for advice on ciders. Place is really nice and clean. Music is a bit too house style for me. Would be nice to give it change up sometimes.

If you like cider, this is the place to go in the city, even in Bay Area. I loved the seasonal pumpkin cider, French rose, and peach cider from WA. Also this place offers surprisingly good food.Lovely place with unique offering. Good neighborhood with some interesting diversities.

Almost 20 different ciders on tap: a rarity in SF. Everything from sweet to tart, even some funky ones. Give them a taste before you commit if you have a hard time deciding. I didn't try the food since I wasn't sure how vegan friendly the dishes would be, but I'll give them a shot next time since the staff seemed willing to accommodate. Happy hour sweetens the deal: $8 drafts and 25% off food from 5-7pm.

From the moment you step into Upcider, you're enveloped in an atmosphere that's as inviting as it is exhilarating.

They're not just employees; they're passionate about their work, making every interaction memorable.

Upcider is a classic Polk street spot. You have a great view to people watch and enjoy delicious ciders. I usually get the flat bread and some form of fries- they haven’t disappointed me yet! The staff/owners are really friendly too and they play good music. They also have some beers on tap if you don’t prefer cider.

Upcider has the best vibe of any restaurant, lounge, or bar in the area.The people who own and work there are what makes Upcider great.

Strangely, it wasn’t that busy on a Friday night but if you’re looking for a variety of ciders, this is the place! I think they’ve got over 10 on tap and more than 50 others in cans. Also a healthy mix of other brews if that’s your jam.

Not very special cider and Perry selection. If you want quality I’d suggest Redfield in Oakland.

A really nice hideaway that sits on the second floor, overlooking the Polk st life. Great happy hour deals too!
So so bad. Save yourselves and don’t go for a flight, almost all of their ciders are terrible

Great to see a cider bar in the city, especially one with plenty of california ciders on draft. The quincein pearantino cider from mission trail was very tasty, as was the roasted beet salad. Industrial-type decor. They decline to pour half-pours, despite having a 4oz flight on the menu, unusual in my experience. Shame as I would've liked to try more than one (but not six!) I probably won't return as there doesn't appear to be much enthusiasm for ciders despite being a cider bar. The bartender said he wasn't really a cider person:( If you don't really want to nerd out on the cider this place will probably be adequate. Still leaving 4 stars to encourage more people to enjoy cider!

Very ambient cidery that offers about 20 selections of ciders on draft, both dry and sweet. It was a very nice place, overlooking the street, as well as outside seating if you so wish. Bathrooms are limited to one person only, keep that in mind, but it honestly wasn't that busy on a Saturday night around 9pm, so it's not that big of a deal. Flights were $25 for 6, pretty typical, but I enjoyed my time here nonetheless.

Cider is great, food is okay, ambiance and service is great. Super cute ambiance/decor/ lighting with views overlooking polls. Cider was really good, the food was okay but honestly I would have preferred to go somewhere else's to eat. Would come back for drinks only!

Easily within my Top 5 bars to visit in Lower Nob Hill. Many cider options to choose from- always hard to decide. Food is incredible! You can't go wrong with their flatbreads, esp the wild mushroom flavoured. Laid back & casual ambiance here. Open seating. Bartenders are personable. Plus the large windows with panoramic street views are hard to beat! This is a great mainstay bar in the neighborhood.
