Etta Place Cidery & Taproom

About This Establishment

Flights let you sample multiple ciders and meads. Etta Place Dry hits brut-dry with bright acidity; Grand Circle Semi-Dry stays crisp; Stray Arrow Rose glows ruby with bold apple and aroma; Raspberry-Hibiscus Mead carries vivid berry aroma and a tart finish. The vibe is casual yet refined, with bar snacks and cliff-side views that snap the moment into focus.
