Lost Cause Meadery

Fun place to hang out with tasty food and drinks. They take the time to get to know you and what your preferences are.Good service and friendly atmosphere. Live music on the weekend too!

Very nice tasting room! Feels cozy and safe.Good thing the food places brings you the food to your table either in the tasting room or the patio they have.My favorite was the tepache mode(get it?)Next time I will try the cocktails.

Lost Cause is great! Good vibes all around! I'm a fan of their seating, their outdoor patio is quaint. I also think they have some great winners on their menu! I appreciate that they rotate their selection often. Their latest key lime flavor is a big hit!

Got the flight. They were ok. So different than traditional beer but I liked most of them. More ciderish than beer but I did enjoy it.Service was great. Decent value for the flight.

The best meadery on the planet, bar none. They have a fantastic tasting room and outdoor patio too at The Garten. They own the winery next door and there's a brewery on the other side, if mead isn't your thing. Once you've tasted their offerings though, you will be!There's an onsite pizza shack too which is similarly excellent.

Coming into this place, I was really excited to try out their meads. After seeing all of the good reviews about this place, I had somewhat of an expectation that the mead would be good. I came in wanting to bring a bottle home to share with my fiancé because he loves mead.There was some street parking available when I came. The outside patio area was really nicely decorated and spacious. When I went inside, I wasn't really greeted by the person that was working there. She was talking to another couple so I understood that she might not be able to talk to me. However, I she didn't acknowledge my presence and I felt kind of awkward when I came in.. it felt like I wasn't supposed to be there. I got the Neon Day Trip and the Jackel and both missed the mark. They were both too watery and sweet for my liking. Not surprisingly, I didn't buy a bottle and left after finishing the two glasses.
