Black Apple - Springdale

Very laid back and calm place to go early. The blackberry cider was very good. The employees were very nice and helpful.Service: 5/5

If I could give this cidery more than 5 stars, I would! I have been coming here ever since they opened their doors in the summer of 2015. My best friend and I came on their opening weekend back then and one of the co-founders, Leo, greeted us! We were the only people there but he was so excited to show us around that he even gave us a tour of the whole place, including where the cider is made! I will always remember his hospitality and passion for this new project of his. It makes me even more thrilled that it has had such amazing success for the past 7 years! I no longer live in Northwest Arkansas, but this is a place I come back to literally every single time I am home. I much prefer cider over beer and it is rare to find a taproom that is fully dedicated to ciders! They have expanded quite a bit in the last few years, it's always fun to see what new updates they have when I come back. They now have tons of indoor seating, a stage for musical performances, patio seating out front on Emma St, and a more backyard vibe patio in the back! There are a lot of fun events offered regularly like trivia, game nights, and comedy shows. They are dog friendly which also makes them even better in my opinion. The menu is always changing and expanding, I remember when they only had 6-8 drinks total on the menu! Now they have regular ciders, premium ciders, and even cider slushes! I had to get a flight this time to try out the new flavors that have arrived since I last came here. I got the blueberry lemonade slush and then 3 premium ciders: ginger pear, mangonada, and raspberry thyme. All of them were delicious as always! I also got a pint of the hibiscus cider which is one of their classics. They now sell their canned cider in stores but unfortunately it is only available in this region. I now live on the West Coast and would absolutely order cans all the time if they shipped out here! I can't say enough good things about this place, it will be a business I continue coming back to support anytime I'm here visiting!

Black Apple is the BEST place to try cider in Northwest Arkansas. Downtown Springdale has the Outdoor Dining District initiative which allows adult drinking to explore more restaurants and shopping. ?

Second time at black Apple, coming from California, and their selection is more catered to spring/summer time. I would definitely recommend flights for your first time here and ask the bartender what they recommend. Great service and recommendation from the bartender as well. Ambiance is very rustic and homey.Great board games available to play for everyone at all times. Amazing lights in the outdoor seating area that hang over head with plenty of seats in both front and back. Would definitely recommend to people visiting NW Arkansas.

Super chill and had a DJ playing and it was just the perfect vibe! The large window/garage opening was open so we sat outside and it was awesome! Raspberry Thyme is my new favorite flavor, 10/10, I love this place!
