Fun time singing karaoke and drinks were pretty good if pricey. Quality stuff though; every drink was solid and flavors were unique enough to enjoy a variety or find a favorite. Particularly liked "Lestat".Food: 5/5
We love Ironbark, it is one of our favorite places to visit. The owner is super sweet. The cider is awesome! We live in Indiana and come here at least once year. Some of the ciders are pretty high ABV, but they are amazing. I have never had cider this delicious anywhere else. My husband got the Lady K, which was Lady Luck mixed with the spicy Krakatoa, I even enjoyed that one. I think my favorite by far though, is Passionista.
Ironbark cider is one of my favorite places. Oh you want more details? Well, let's start with the ciders. If you think angry orchard when I say cider, PAUSE. Angry orchard has more sugar than coke. Ironbark is no sugar added, just the wonderful sweetness of the fruits they use. No sulfites, gluten, or preservatives either. Wonderful, High abv, dry ciders, nothing artificial added and let me tell you now. As healthy as drinking can get I'd say. Beyond this it is one of the most wholesome communities, with a strong emphasis on feminist values promoting a truly safe space for LGBTQIA+ persons. Got a dog? Dogs are welcome on leashes inside and out, with an area out back for potty thank the neighboring pet groomer! Got a big party? They have the tables! Need cider for an event? They do cans of some, and growlers of all ciders on tap! If you aren't feeling cider they have even expanded to do apple brandy, and elderberry sherry for the wine lovers out there. These are hard hitting and delicious! For the IPA lovers they now carry a seasonal hops based cider called Hoppleganger. Finally if you love events they do regular Trivia nights, and karaoke! Or if you're a foodie they have some of the best food vendors come to ironbark and given it's proximity Claremont craft ales. So you can always bet on at least one food vendor on location! Come on down for 626 tacos, or Inner Pizza for some amazing food. Again, this is my favorite alcohol, Ive never been a fan of beer, and hard liquor can be too hard for regular consumption. These ciders are the perfect middle ground. Strong like a mix drink, tasty like a mix drink, but in the same format as beer! So what are you waiting for! They open at 5! Vegetarian options: Food vendors are aware that such an establishment attracts vegetarian and vegan crowds and offer vegetarian and vegan options. The cider itself is vegan so no problems there.
So I love the karaoke here, but all the times I’ve been, there are certain people who have made very offensive remarks and made everyone uncomfortable. It makes me question how inclusive the place really is if they are still invited back or not kicked out when when it happens. It’s a real shame because iron barks has stood as a pillar of inclusivity for the community for a long time, but it doesn’t feel like it now :/ For now, Be careful with kids on karaoke night.
Been several times to ironbark and they are fantastic! Thiughtful healthy ciders, inclusive atmosphere and all the staff are wonderful, informed, and helpful. I've had more than my share of cider here once or twice and I'm pleased to say the hangover was non-existent. I credit that to quality ingredients! This is a great spot to bring friends, there's plenty of seating and it's also a lovely date night with my husband.
Great service and great ciders! I feel like it's all seltzer lately, so it's nice to have a good cider. Friendly staff gave great recommendations. Recommend!Service: 5/5
I love that they do dry cider. All of their cider has a clean finish that doesn't leave your mouth feeling dirty. I love that they are woman owned and totally emphasize the intersection between femininity, art and cider! They do pizza nights, art shows, poetry nights and more. Such a cool hang out space. The bartenders are very friendly and knowledgeable. They were playing great jazzy music. It's a super welcoming environment. Super glad I came by and will totally come back with friends.
Outdoor seating with sun coverage, it was quiet when we got there and it was clean and well kept. The staff was outgoing and was more than happy to answer questions and I had endless ones.... get a couple flights, find what works for you and then go to a pint... if it does not work for you they replace it without a hassle or discussion. In summary, a very nice venue with a great product and a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon
First time here and I have to say, it is amazing! The people are great. I went in not sure what I wanted and told them, i cant have beer anymore but cider is ok. She let me taste the hoppelganger and it was great. I tried a couple of other ciders and decided on a growler of the first one. I will definitely be back soon to refill my growler.
I think we finally found or new favorite spot! Ciders are amazing and the higher ABVs are much appreciated. Staff is welcoming & super helpful. :
