Where can I find a cider bar?

Cider bars are still rare, so the quickest way to find one is a map or list that filters for cider-focused venues. In cider regions, also look at taprooms at cideries, Basque cider houses in season, and pubs that serve real cider. Check opening times before you go, because many cider venues are seasonal.

Key facts

Cider houses are a separate tradition. In the Basque Country, the sagardotegi is a cider-making house that opens to guests in the cider season, from January to May. [1]
"Real cider" is a campaign term, not a law. In the UK, CAMRA defines real cider and perry as drinks that "should never be concentrated then diluted – either in terms of the juice used, or the alcohol content". [2]
Age rules apply. In the UK it is against the law to sell alcohol to anyone under 18. [3]

How do I find a cider bar near me?

Use a cider map. Filter for bars, then check each venue's own page for hours.
Try cideries. Many cider makers have a taproom or tasting room on site. Visiting a maker is a good alternative to a cider bar in rural areas.
Go in season. Basque cider houses and many farm taprooms are open only part of the year.
Ask what's on tap. A cider bar should be able to tell you the maker, style and sweetness of each cider. How a bar differs from a Basque cider house is explained in cider bar vs cider house.
