Review methodology and evidence standards

The editorial take

Scion Cider Bar builds its beverage program around cider, from a rotating draft lineup spanning 4% to 12% ABV to bottled and canned craft cider. Cocktails are cider-driven, tying the mixed drinks to the same fermented-apple core. The spirits list follows suit with apple-based expressions and specialty sippers sourced from small orchards, urban producers, and artisans. It reads as a bar that knows its lane and stays in it, with an award-winning cider focus and a clear point of view rather than a broad, everything-for-everyone list.

What should I order?
Start with a cider-driven cocktail, then move to a draft cider from the rotating 4% to 12% ABV lineup. If you prefer a sipper, ask for an apple-based spirit from a small orchard or artisan producer.
Who will enjoy this place?
Cider drinkers who want a range of styles and strengths, and anyone curious about apple-based spirits and cocktails that lean on cider rather than hiding it.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
The program is unified by cider: cocktails, draft and packaged cider, and apple-based spirits all point back to the same fermented-apple focus, with producers described as small orchards, urban makers, and artisans.
