The top cider bars in Toronto boast the biggest and most eclectic collections of fruit-based libations in the city. Sourced from craft producers in Ontario and beyond, these bars and restaurants are ideal destinations to discover the refreshing flavours of fermented orchard fruits spanning from crisp and dry to sweet and musky.
Here are my picks for the top bars for cider lovers in Toronto.
Barhop
Two locations from this craft brew bar generally feature one or two ciders on tap plus a discriminating list of bottles. Standouts include Spirit Tree Draught Cider, West Ave. Barrett Fuller's Secret, and Toronto's own Brickworks Batch 1904.
Bar Volo
The rotating taps at this Yonge and Wellesley area beer bar are known to include at least one or two featured ciders each week. Look forward to appearances by Spirit Tree Draught Cider and Revel Fruit Funk, plus a selection of bottles including West Ave. Cherry Beach and imports like Bouche de Bretagne by Cidre Coat-Albret.
Wvrst
The pleasures of fermented apples are a perfect pair with the meaty menu at this sausage hall on King West. Here the phenomenal assortment of ciders includes an exclusive selection of fruit-forward Troy Ciders out of Sonoma and Ontario-made favourites such as Pommies Dry Cider and Coffin Ridge Forbidden Fruit.
C'est What
The taproom on Front Street East deals exclusively in Canadian-made brews and ciders. Savour the crispy, tangy flavours of Waupoos Cider on draught or sample from the selection of bottles including tart and sparkling Ironwood Hard Cider, and cans of dry and aromatic Brickworks Queen Street 501.
Bar Isabel
The Spanish restaurant on College Street favours large format bottles best shared like the spread of tapas on the table. The selection includes Spirit Tree's Sparkling Dolgo Crabapple, a Golden Russet Cider from PEC's The Old Third, plus European imports like Sidra Bere from SidrerĂa Bereziartua.
