Lost Boy Cider: Unique Flavors in a Family-Friendly Atmosphere

Lost Boy was a super laid back environment with a huge cider selection including dessert ciders and frozen cider. We loved that they are family oriented so you can bring your kid as well as your dog. They allowed for a small sample of the ciders prior to purchase which helped me to narrow down my selection easier. We will definitely be back again!

It was our first time here and we got a table! My fiancé and dad ordered flights to sample and I was feeling bold and ordered a glass of the Stick season (I believe it’s called) which was honestly in my opinion one of the best ones! It was so good my dad bought cans to go home with! We also liked the gingerbread! These ciders were definitely a little more sweet compared to their other ones but way less sweet than most ciders out there! It was a cool place to visit in between doing activities at the National Harbor!

Employees are awesome. Not sure why they got rid of Sarah. She was the only reason we came lost boy as much as we did. I have seen a big downfall since then. I would always get the wingman and I honestly don’t like it anymore. It tastes completely different now. Idk what the cider makers are doing but it isn’t right. I can see the employees aren’t taken care of by the owner. Tristan is blind to everything. I give it one more year if he doesn’t take care of his employees better.

Decided that I am not a Cider Guy. Lost Boy Cider has a very good atmosphere (love that they let friendly dogs come on to the establishment) and a good staff but after a third visit (our boys like the Ciders) I decided I prefer Breweries and Wineries over a Cider place. Interesting variety of ciders but honestly, they all tasted pretty much the same, except for the one with habaneros, or some kind of pepper infusion. Taste more like a sparkling water or seltzer to me than any other cider I've tasted before. They all lacked any kind of sweetness and bordered on overly sour or tart. Probably won't be back again. The Food Truck during this last visit was really good though. The Shawarma was tops.

Lost Boy is my favorite spot in Alexandria! You won’t find any other ciders like theirs, not too sweet and they always have so many fun and rotating flavors. The staff are all incredible and friendly, and they always have great recommendations. My fiancé and I love them so much that we’re having our wedding reception here. They also host lots of other community events that support local, small businesses and they have a pretty good variety of food trucks at the cidery. UPDATE (4/7/24): My husband and I had our wedding reception at Lost Boy Cider on 4/2, and they truly made it so magical and special for us. From working with us every step of the way to ensure our vision came to life to developing a custom cider for us to bringing everything to life on the day, they were absolutely fabulous to work with! You really went above and beyond to make us feel so loved by the LBC family. Thank you SO much! Our guests had a blast and commented on how magical everything looked and how amazing the cider was. We are so lucky to have friends like you!

Im usually a big cider fan and was excited to try out this spot. It fell short for me. I tried about 4 different ciders and honestly, I didn’t really feel like they tasted as ciders. It unfortunately felt like a type of water. The staff was really nice, they had a lovely older gentleman playing the guitar and a good truck on site that I did not test out.

Highly recommend Lost Boy Cider Lost Boy Cider is a true gem. The cider is absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of flavors to enjoy, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. It’s a great venue for hosting events, catching up with friends, or simply stopping by with family to relax and enjoy a drink. The atmosphere is fun, laid-back, and very inviting. I definitely recommend visiting Lost Boy Cider — whether for a special occasion or just a casual day out.

Yellow Door Concert Series had some great jazz music playing at the Lost Boy Cider last night. That created a cool vibe to hang out in. Lots of ciders to choose from. My favorite was the hot gingerbread cider - yum! There is a self-service water cooler adjacent to the bar. The bartenders were very friendly and provided quick service. They offered tastes/samples of the various ciders to help you decide what flavor to get. Seating options are benches, stools at high top tables, or regular chairs at tables. There is a bookshelf with boardgames to play, which is always fun! Dog friendly place with some sweet, adorable dogs to watch. Plenty of free parking in the lot adjacent to bar. Looks as if in warmer weather there are garage doors to open access and some outside seating. Food is provided by food trucks. I didn’t have anything but other people’s food looked good. Nice that there are cans to go and other merchandise that you can purchase. There was also a calendar of fun events like yoga & cider… Definitely check this place out!
