FAQs

Yes, but only in our Cidergarten/patio area. Now that we have our food truck up and running, we are no longer allowed to welcome doggos inside the taproom- no matter how good they are! Our Cidergarten, however, is dog friendly! Your pup is welcome in our Cidergarten ANY TIME (as long as they are friendly and well-behaved). We have water bowls and treats behind the bar, just ask a server when you arrive. Please thoroughly read our cidery doggo rules below before arriving with your pup:

• No dogs on furniture.
• Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times.
• Your dog must not be left unattended at any time.
• No barking or growling.
• Dogs must go outside our fence line to do their “business”.
• No aggression towards people or other dogs allowed.
• Please make sure your pup does not block the bar area or walking spaces around the Cidergarten.

It is the responsibility of the owner assure that your pet is well-behaved and follows these rules. If you and your dog are unable to adhere to these rules, you will be kindly asked to leave. Thank you so much in advance for your cooperation- we look forward to meeting you and your doggo!

“Waldschanke” roughly translates to ‘forest tavern’ in Swiss-German. The original cidery partially built by our Grandpa George, is located on a forest preserve in Romanshorn, Switzerland- hence the name, “Forest Tavern”!

We sure do! We welcome you and your family into our taproom. We simply ask that you don’t leave your kiddos unattended in the taproom both for safety and out of respect to other guests. If your kiddo is having a “rough day”, we ask that you please either take them outside or in to the bathroom until they are able to calm down. We have apple juice and Izzy sodas for purchase as well. Remember, this is a bar and a shared space that we want everyone to be able to enjoy. Additionally, please also make sure you clean up as best you can after your kiddos when you leave the cidery. Thank you!
