We love this place. This is our 3rd or 4th visit. We try to stop every time we are passing through Staunton, several times a year. They have a variety of ciders on tap, which differs from visit to visit. We usually get a flight of 6 so we can try the ones we hadn't had before, in addition to our favorites. The vibe is very cool, with a mix of people of different ages. Lots of seating with people playing cards or board games. This time it was a Saturday evening and there was live music and a food truck outside (no food otherwise except snacky foods like bags of chips). The place was very busy, but the bartenders kept up with the crowd. The servers are very knowledgeable about the ciders they have and were able to describe the flavor of each cider. They also serve mixed drinks using the ciders with other things like rum, Gin, juices, etc. We've had a few of those on previous visits and each one we tried was very delicious. We haven't tried them all yet, but we'll get to them eventually! And for those non-cider fans, they have a cooler with some cans and bottles of beer. They also sell some of their ciders by the bottle, and we've taken some home with us in the past. Can't wait until our next trip to Stanton.

This place is PHENOMENAL!! The staff are knowledgeable and VERY friendly! They offered great suggestions regarding the flights and even food that was available in the area. I had one of the greatest evenings of my life here! What a GREAT atmosphere and there is an awesome selection of Ciders. The employees (Beth, and unsure of the other lady's name) we're super attentive and knowledgeable with everything they offered. What a GREAT experience and such a fun time! I cannot wait to return! I LOVE this place! Highly recommended!!

Nice selection of ciders and a couple other drinks. Few snacks available for purchase, but they also tend to invite food trucks and dining is available nearby. Great stop after a farmer's market run!

My parents and I were visiting from out of town and decided to stop in this unique cidery in the historic downtown area. From the moment we walked in, we were pleasantly surprised at how inviting, airy, and trendy the vibe was here. We truly enjoyed our conversation with the kind server who was so friendly and engaging. We opted to try a flight of ciders, each with a different twist on flavors. Super fun! It was hard to choose my favorite one since they were all good and unique. It was overall a great experience.

We visited Staunton for an evening and had researched Ciders From Mars. Upon our arrival we were greeted with a smile from Paul. He was friendly and offered up good conversation in addition to a few yummy cider cocktails. If you are in the area you won’t be disappointed by the cool space with plenty of lounge seating, bar seating, and outdoor seating.

Inside and outside patio is dog friendly. Ciders were good, I got a flight. The Rum Rover cocktail was excellent.

I was not familiar with Ciders really before coming here. In fact, I'd only tried a commercially made cider maybe twice and did not care for it at all as it was a total sugar bomb. Even so, I decided to take a chance here and wow, am I glad i did! We did a tasting and they are fantastic. They even have mixed cider drinks that are so light and refreshing. The staff is so friendly and helpful. They've made a cider lover out of me!!

We tried all of the ciders that were available and enjoyed them all. The cider cocktails are also delicious. We'll be stopping by again when we are back in the area. The staff was also very welcoming and knowledgeable about the ciders. Recommended.
