Bushel & Barrel Ciderhouse - Poulsbo, Washington

The food/drinks, service and atmosphere were 10/10!!!

Man o man I haven’t had such a good experience from a local spot in quite some time. My family and I (3 kiddos all under 5) stopped in pretty much as soon as they opened, on a Thursday and almost had the entire place to ourselves. We got their pulled pork sliders, (which were very good) and the six small cup cider sampler (also very good)

It’s a very interesting place with a beautiful inside seating room to order your food and drinks and then if you wanna wander outside, you have a ton of space to just walk around and enjoy music (if it’s there) and the most fun part - petting all of the animals that they have on a little farm. (A cow, a horse, a pig, tons of goats, and some llamas)

Come purely for the vibes: this place is about as chill, relaxed, and welcoming as it gets. We took the floor seating in the corner and it was lovely. Someone was playing guitar while others were wearing their "best" hats for the Kentucky derby that day. Some of the ciders were pretty drinkable, others less so. As long as there is at least one good drink here, I will keep coming back. They rotate most of their cider flavors regularly so there are always new things to try. The bartender was incredibly nice. Such a lovely little country spot.

Wow!!! Wish I could give more than 5 stars!! This place rocks! My new favorite go to spot!! I am not a cider drinker, but that’s okay because they have an awesome selection of beer. I did try the cider, and it’s really good as well. The bar and inside are really comfortable! The yard is huge! My dog just lived the outside. Lots of room and really nice chairs. Great place to hang out with friends and family!! The food is excellent as well. They even gave my dog a huge hot!! Who does that Bushel and Barrel that’s WHO!! Even better than all that the people that work there are really nice and friendly. This is a MUST GO!! Highest possible recommendation!!

3 stars for the cider and service being good. Decent variety of cider flavors. Preface this by saying I’ve been to my fair share of cider houses as cider is my preferred adult beverage.

The inside of the place was cute. It’s super family friendly. There was kids watching their tablets in the floor couch area and one had a blanket and was napping, separately a kids birthday party was going on outside. As a parent, I like a family friendly place but this was giving preschool vibes and just wasn’t the experience I wanted.

The cider was served in paper cups, really takes away from enjoying the flavors. The charcuterie we ordered was absolutely unacceptable for $17 (see photo), we ate some of it as we were hungry but it was all stuff from Costco and wasn’t even fresh. The outside seating with tables and chairs on gravel wasn’t my favorite, especially since my view was a port a potty.

Overall, I’d come back if I really needed a pretty decent cider but couldn’t find a sitter. A few simple changes could really elevate this place and make it a different experience.

Stopped in because I needed a bathroom and they were very warm and friendly! Fiddle players and happy patrons complimented the beautifully themed decor inside this unassuming establishment.
I'm really looking forward to coming back and spending some time here!

So the good side is service is good, friendly, and efficient. The atmosphere is awesome, we went for karaoke night and was great. Unfortunately the cider was a huge let down. It was watery and none of the flights we tasted were good... perhaps we just had a bad batch but to be honest I cant recommend the cider.

Love the Ciderhouse, Melissa and Joel are doing great things there! Another evening at the ciderhouse and Cafe Rendezvous for dinner with live music and met some new friends.
