Wise Bird Cider Co. — Restaurant in Lexington

It's impossible to find "good" cider locally in the markets so when we discovered "Wise Bird", a prayer was answered. While, admittedly, they feature some semi-sweet, and semi-dry ciders, for us "good" cider is dry cider. WB has at least a dozen dry ciders! The drink menu also includes cider-based slushies and delicious sounding cocktails which incorporate cider into the "usual" ingredients. (Beer drinkers are accommodated too with several beers; I can only remember seeing West Sixth IPA but there were others.) The location is awesome - industrial in the first floor of a defunct distillery. There is bar seating, traditional tables with chairs on the floor as well as some cozy nooks and, our favorite, a row of high bar stools that face out huge windows that can be opened and which look out onto the lush green lawn with apple trees and cornhole boards. The Town Branch Creek then forms the outer boarder of the property. There is also a huge outdoor tent awning by the creek that you can opt to sit under. Back indoors, there is an assortment of board games and Jenga-type amusements available to patrons. Also, to the right of the property are the bocce courts. (So no excuse for saying you're bored!) Good tunes that are not too loud play in the background. Food is from their dedicated food truck parked right outside. The "Little Fork" calls itself "trailer gourmet" with a menu formed around "farm-to-table dishes". You place your food order at the bar and you're given a buzzer that alerts you to walk outside to pick it up from the truck when it's ready. Alternatively, you can order right at the cart with the same buzzer alert. Everything we've ever tried from Little Fork is really really really delicious and everything about this place...

Since my wife and I are avid "Birders" we had to check this place out with a name like Wise Bird.

Located in the Pepper Distillery District, a small family run business that believes apples make great ciders.

My wife is gluten free and cider is what she generally drinks. She had the Pomme Pomme Sangria that had notes of baked apple and vanilla. Nothing great but still refreshing.

I am not a cider lover I ordered a beer. I was surprised how reluctant the server was and kept pushing me to try "their " cider which is unlike any other. I did and still wanted a beer. She finally handed me a can of Ol Buddy Lager not even asking if I wanted a glass.

You pay at the bar and sit wherever you like.

There is no music or any kind of atmosphere inside that made us want to stay.

There are many other places in the area that I wish I would have chosen...

Food is delicious - everything we have ever had at Little Fork has been really yummy and elevated, especially for a food truck - and the ciders are great. Not always a huge fan of dry ciders but they do some really interesting ones! Their cocktails are also really good and their bartenders know a lot about what they do. The service is always great, even when they are busy and I love listening to the individual music styles of the bartenders. It’s so cool to see the tanks from the sitting area where they ferment in house. They have cool areas outside where you can play bocce ball or cornhole and a kids play area. They’re also dog friendly so I can...
