We host private events and special hours pretty often! Before heading our way, be sure to check our events page, social media, or Google listing for the latest updates. We’re a small team, and those spots are always the most reliable for real-time info.

View our current menu for beverages & snack options below. *Please note that the menu is subject to change based on availability.*
Parking
We have access to upwards of 30+ parking spaces! Our parking lot is to the left of the building – you can park anywhere on the black lot – butting up to the deck, L&S Radiator building, and behind the fence! Please keep in mind we lock the fence at the close of every night. Please be mindful to not park in front of the very last unit (garage door & entrance door) as those tenants need to be able to get to their space. There are ‘no parking’ signs for clarification.
Overflow Parking: We have an access to an overflow parking lot located at 2221 Edward Holland Drive. From our parking lot, turn left onto Bethlehem Rd, drive ~350ft and turn left onto Edward Holland Drive, then turn left into the large parking lot.
From the parking lot, it is a short walk to Blue Bee Cider. Turn right out of the parking lot, head towards Bethlehem Rd and then turn right onto Bethlehem Rd. If it’s dark, please make sure to wear reflective clothing and/or have a flashlight. You can use the D1 Moving parking lot to walk to Blue Bee Cider and avoid walking on Bethlehem Rd.
*Directional yard signs will be staked to help navigate parking.*
DO NOT PARK: Please only use the Blue Bee Cider and overflow parking lot. Vehicles will be towed at owner’s expense in the surrounding lots.
Family & Dog Friendly
We love having families join us! While we encourage a family-friendly environment, we kindly ask that children are supervised to maintain a pleasant experience for all guests.
We’re a dog-friendly venue! Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome in our tasting room and outdoor deck. However, please be mindful that our environment can be stimulating. We prioritize the comfort and happiness of your furry companions and aim to ensure they have a positive experience. If your dog gets overwhelmed, it may be best to leave them at home. Thank you for your understanding!
