Apis Meadery & Winery

I visited Apis for the first time a couple weeks ago, and was so pleasantly surprised. Who knew the nation's third highest-selling meadery is in Carnegie, and that they ship bottles to 41 states across the country! The amount of different flavors shocked me. Jabanero strawberry and blueberry cheesecake are a couple that I remember the best. I'd recommend a sampler tray on your first visit, so you can test out a few before your commit. The bar service was attentive and the server was very helpful! I was lucky to connect with the owner, Dave, while there that night, too. He ensured that everything was running smoothly and that we were all satisfied. If you're in the mood for video games or board games, this is the place for you! The ambiance is relaxed... you're on your own time. Nobody is going to rush you out the door. Definitely give this place a try next time you're in the mood for a night of drinks, and a different, positive experience.

I can't believe I didn't know this existed! The servers were so friendly! We got a flight and it was everything a millennial who wants an experience in being transported to Flavortown could ask for. I had mead of all sorts of interesting flavors! We also ordered Mexican food inside at their pop up kitchen. We sat and watched a black and white movie on the projector inside. There were some pinball machines and boardgames too!

This place is super cool. I like the vibe. It's not too small or big. We watched comedy and enjoyed meads. I like the fact that they let you sample it before you purchase it. I tried so many. There's something for everyone here and the mead will sneak up on you.

If you want to make Apis a grab and go, go for it, but unless you've tried their stuff before, why gamble? Why buy a full bottle of something instead of getting a glass. That'd be cheaper. Then, get a bottle if you like it. Better yet, experiment a little and buy a flight. That'll make your decision easier. That's what I did. After hearing rave reviews from friends, I met up with one of those friends at Apis to catch up. To complement my dinner from Cafe Delhi across the street (separate review for them on their page), I got a flight of the Blueberry Chai, Blueberry Cobbler, Sleepover, Knotweed Honey and Lemon Bourbon Meads. The flavor notes were amazing and literally everything in my flight was great. The "Sleepover" is a hidden gem for sure, a peanut butter mead that has notes of a peanut butter and honey sandwich with and undercurrent of jelly. So good! I'll be back for sure. The place is a lot of fun.

Apis is lots of fun. They have a nice selection of meads, then guest beers and cider on draft and some bottles, too. There is a bookshelf of board games and also pinball machines.The food is supplied by a food truck.The staff is helpful and welcoming. I tried their house mead and it was excellent.

Loved this space! It is located in a very convenient location in Carnegie. We were the only patrons there, but it is expected that patrons wear masks when walking around. We bought flights to get a taste of the variety of meads offered. There's an awesome patio to sit outside and enjoy the summer weather.

I really love Apis Mead. What a great addition to the little town of Carnegie! Once a ghost town, turned into a bustling stretch of small local owned shops, eateries, and this great Meadery! My favorite part about this place is the atmosphere- indoor, outdoor, fun to be had at both. Inside there are sometimes live bands, comics, or some other kind of entertainment. Outside, there are fire pits, the weekend food trucks and games to play. Laid back, modern, somewhat hipster vibe, but also down to earth. The mead is good stuff, but I suggest only having 2 max- somehow it is a bit potent! The other offerings on the drink menu are a couple local brews and a few mixed cocktails. Tonight we were lucky enough to stumble upon these wonderful frozen drinks- a tasty pina colada and a meaderita. Double thumbs up from us and we will be sure to return!

I'm in love! I got to stop in at Apis a couple weekends ago, and what a treat it was. The atmosphere here is wonderful - the staff are welcoming, the tables and decor cute and cozy, and the collection of board games that live in the building make it easy to turn your night out with friends into a game night. Drinking games are optional, but hey, if you're going to play one...As if a great set-up wasn't delightful enough, the drink options here are fantastic. You can buy cups or full bottles of mead here; but if you're not sure what to get, you can also order a couple "flights" - sample trays of six different meads. If you come in a large enough group, this strategy lets you easily taste most of the drinks offered here in one visit. Case in point: my group ordered and shared a number of flights, so I was able to sample most of the menu during my visit. Personally, I found the fruit based meads to be the best, but I tend to like and/or dry beverages, so that's just as much my taste talking as the brew. Although no one at our table liked the coffee-infused drink...but I think that was the biggest and one of the only disappointments at the table. Out of all the flavors I tried, I recommend the apricot peach the most. If you like either of those fruits, this drink is a must - it's utterly delightful.I would absolutely spend some time here with friends again in the future. You're allowed to bring your own meals here, so during my last visit a different group of people was actually hosting a potluck. I'm thinking of bringing a pizza with me next time...pizza and mead: oh yum! Add in the board games and you have a lovely night out, I'd say!P.S. Untapped users, you can log all of your beverages here on Untapped and unlock a couple badges when you order a flight or two - just an fyi!

First time going there and the guy behind the counter was not very nice. We wanted to sit and have some wine. Little did we know that you couldn't buy a bottle and drink it there. Of course he rang the wine up and said we were stuck with it because it was paid for. We walked out after that and went to Quatum Spirits and they were super nice.

I came here with my wife during second Fridays in Carnegie. This is a really cool event if you can find parking for it! I wish I would have known ahead of time that Apis allows dogs as I would have brought ours. The inside is kind of cool, mostly wood with a little bit of hipster vibe. They have a few different tables, high and low, as well as a standing bar and a plethora of board games in the back to break out. My wife and I ended up each doing a sample flight while playing connect four and checkers. We also ended up having a glass of the new tap, Sloe Torri, as well and bought 3 bottles to go. I haven't drank much mead in my life. It's mostly been from wineries who also make mead and not a meadery itself. With that being said, Apis has by far the smoothest mead! It wasn't thick and syrupy and it wasn't biting either. The flavors really shined as well. My favorites were peanut butter, mango habanero, and a green apple one. Very cool place with some great mead. I ended up spending way too much here but will be back to probably do the same thing. The second Friday thing in Carnegie is a great way to go for good food and drink.
