Bull City Ciderworks is hands down a gem in downtown Durham! The cider selection is incredible, with unique options like Beet Cider and Pineapple, Orange & Cream Cider. If you're not into cider, their beers and cocktails are just as solid--the Stout, in particular, was a pleasant surprise! The space, both indoors and out, is dog-friendly and perfect for hanging out, whether it's for live music or music bingo.Huge shoutout to Taylor, Scotty, and Brenna for exceptional service. It's official: we've found a new favorite spot, and we'll definitely be back!

Great service with added arcade and board games! There are tons of cider options as well as cocktail and beer options for all your friends. They had a food truck with options for food, but also so close to many things. Inside had dog friendly table, bar, and couch seating. There's a small parking lot there connected to the wine bar too which makes for an easy and fun visit!

Was visiting NC and wanted to try this cider place. We got a flight with el matador, cherry tart, orange cream, a double IPA and blue berry lemon. The el matador was my favorite. It was a strawberry flavor with a hint of habanero (super subtle). The service was fast and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The ambiance was great and there were many board games for a big group to hang out. This place is very dog friendly as well.

My only visit here (so far) coincided with a Taylor Swift Trivia Contest and the place, as you can imagine, was packed! And filled with plenty of energy. My son and I were not dissuaded by the long line due to the reputation and ratings of BCC. Our wait in line was worth the time and effort. My son ordered the pineapple guava slushie and I ordered a flight of four ciders. Flights of five ciders are another option. BCW also offers cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages of sodas and kombucha. On this evening, I ordered Rhize Up, the Matador, Créme de l'Orange, and Pom Pom Cherie. All four were tasty in their respective flavor profiles. Seasonal ciders are offered and the BCC website lists the names, flavors and drop dates. The location offers indoor seating with long tables and big screen TVs. Outdoor seating varies from individual seating to stand up seating. A fire pit is located in one corner. On this occasion, no fire was seen. When I'm in the area again and in the mood for cider, I'll head here.

Bull City Ciderworks does cider right and I love that they have both foundational flavors and rotating ciders depending on the season. My tried and true favorite is the pineapple cider and my latest favorite holiday flavor was the Sasquash. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and sometimes they have food trucks too. Love this cider spot and love that their flights are affordable and delicious so you can try their multiple flavors!

I love Bull City Ciderworks! I used to come here often with friends to get the 4-5 cider flights and sit on the patio during the summer. They always have new and delicious flavors that are fun to try out without committing to one thing. They also have a few board games to pass time and a food truck on some days. Good vibes all around!

If i lived here, I would be coming back to hang out! They have a nice indoor space that opens out to the outdoor lawn, perfect for those warmer days! I was pretty full from lunch so didn't up getting a flight but tried a couple of samples and settled for my favorite flavor, pineapple, called the upside down. This is great if you like something a little bit sweeter like I do and it doesn't have an after taste like some of their other ciders do. Tastes more like a light pineapple soda. I love the names of all their ciders too - very creative and festive!

My mother's a cider person. I wanted to take her here when I first heard of this place. I am happy with my experience in the taproom. You have a warehouse-style open lounge with a shelf of board games and playing cards. You have plenty to do while you sit back and enjoy your drinks. There's also wi-fi if you want to bring your laptop for a change of scenery while working your remote job.I decided to share two flights between me and my parents. That's ten different ciders! I let mom pick the ciders in the first flight. I chose the ciders in the second. The first flight was made up of drinks off their Core Ciders list. The second featured their seasonal and rotating drinks. Our favorites are the Cherry Tart, the Bluelacris, the Daily Rind, and the Sweet Caroline. Others had interesting tastes.The bartenders were cheerful, something I think is sorely needed in light of recent tragedies. I think this place will be humming with activity once all the apartment buildings are finished. The Ciderworks is in a great spot. It's not the best with parking (as with most downtown venues), but it's great for getting out of the house and bringing the dog along. Check out their events calendar for live music, trivia, watch parties, and other happenings.

Really great cider in a really fun atmosphere! We came in accidentally on a Sunday night when they were doing music bingo. It was one of the best music bingos I've been to and would highly recommend going when they do this. All the ciders we tried were tasty. Seems like the type of place where you can't go wrong. The parking is a bit confusing here, and I unfortunately can't clarify for you the best thing to do about this, but we did park in front of the wine store and didn't get towed so I can tell you that much. Be sure to pay them a visit (or ten).

Bull City Ciderworks in Durham holds a special place in my heart as an old favorite, and it continues to be one of the best spots in town. While parking may be a bit tricky now, I assure you that the hunt is well worth it. As always, the ciders at BCC are a true delight. The Upcide Down cider remains a personal favorite, delivering its signature deliciousness that keeps me coming back for more. The Bludacris cider is a burst of blueberry goodness, with abundant fruity flavors that make it a refreshing choice. If you're looking for something lighter, the Cherry Tart cider hits the spot with its crisp and refreshing taste. For those seeking a bolder experience, the Rhize Up cider offers a zingy kick of ginger that adds a unique twist. And let's not forget the Creme De L'Orange, a cider that tastes just like a creamy orange creamsicle, and the Bourbonic Tonic, a recent and intriguing addition to their lineup. Throughout my visits, I have always received great service and enjoyed every sip of their delicious ciders.In summary, Bull City Ciderworks is a must-visit spot in Durham, despite the parking challenges. With a range of ciders to suit various preferences, from the fruity and refreshing to the bold and unique, there's something for everyone. Their commitment to great service shines through, making every visit a delightful experience.
