Broad Street Cider & Mead — Restaurant in New Orleans

Honestly, you can’t go wrong here. I prefer dry ciders, and delightfully, dry varieties are the majority of cider options you’ll find here. There’s a cozy atmosphere inside and a petite outdoor patio w/umbrellas. So far, I’ve been 3 times, and was inspired to write this review after this last trip. Every experience has been pleasant, and I’m so glad this place is now on my radar. By no means a connoisseur, I can say the ciders are quality, the service is just spot on, and I appreciate the laid back, restful atmosphere with food options like St.James Cheese Co cheese plates or locally crafted chocolate. The last time I went was with a friend who is gluten-free, and they had a market for GF goods going on. She said the bread was the best she’s been able to find in New Orleans so if you’re GF or know someone who is, this location seems like it would be a good resource. And although I don’t think they stay open late, it’s definitely worth the trip. I don’t know how this place isn’t on every blog or listicle for places to check out in NOLA. Also, try the flight—it’s the most economical choice with surprisingly generous pours...

Love this place. Jon and Diana brew dozens of varieties of ciders and meads, with 12 on tap at any given time. The ciders are mostly on the dry side, many with subtle flavors added while brewing. It's more like a sophisticated beer than the sickly-sweet (and near-undrinkable!) ciders you can buy by the can in stores. My personal favorites are Green Fairy (McIntosh apples brewed with absinthe botanicals) and One Night in Marrakech (McIntosh again, with mint). Absolutely the best local brewery for people like me with celiac disease or who are gluten intolerant.

The indoor space is cute and cozy -- feels almost like a speakeasy. Nice little back patio too. For regulars like me, I strongly recommend the Cider Club, a monthly subscription that comes with added discounts and gifts. It's a little hard to find -- if you haven't been, look at the map on their website. There are occasionally food pop-ups and events, so be sure to check their IG or FB...

Me and my husband where so ecstatic to find the first cidary since Colorado but where sadly dissapointed! I understand breweries opening later but opening after posted hours is really unprofessional. We could have easily over looked this first disappointment but the entire hour their was grueling. The owner is very oppininated and honestly rude. You won't get far treating your customers as if you are their gift to cidaries! The actual cidar was ok but every blend had hops which alot of people dislike, especially cidar drinkers like me. We left with 2 growlers and a $75 dollar tab lmao after trying 5 sips of beers because the owner doesn't believe in flights. Don't bother visiting this establishment because even if you love hops the owner has no plan on distributing and making the cidar available anywhere but...
