We had such a wonderful time here, and we can't wait to return!

Drinks: We started with a flight of fruity ciders, and they were fantastic. The peach cider was smooth and refreshing. The loganberry drink was fruity and flavorful, and it was not too sweet. We also tried the mixed berry drink, and it kind of tasted like cherries; the flavor shone through.

Starters: We loved the bread and butter. The bread was crispy. The butter was rich and sharp, with a flavor that lingered in the best way. The plum butter offered a deep, caramelized note.  The richness of the butter tamed the sesame’s nuttiness (the sesame was on the bread).

Salad: The chicory salad was a delightful surprise. I normally avoid chicory due to its bitterness, but this preparation was anything but bitter. The squash was tender and flavorful, and the crispy bits added the perfect contrast in texture. It was balanced, fresh, and satisfying.

Small Plates: The salmon roll was nice and crispy, but we felt like it could have used a pop of something.  Some capers would have helped!  I still enjoyed it, and it is excellent if you like milder flavors.

We also had a mellow meatball soup dish. The flavors were a little too mild.

Final Thoughts: Overall, we appreciated the thoughtful curation of flavors—nothing felt out of place, and the milder dishes had their own place.

We can't wait to return and explore more of the menu!

We went for pizza night. Their pizza was delicious. Nice, chewy sourdough crust. High quality toppings. Tasty combo of things on there. I also got the roasted hazelnuts, which were also great.

I really liked a lot of their ciders (we got a couple of flights and shared them so that we could taste a bunch). They had a good variety of sweeter and drier ciders.

The atmosphere is nice and I think on a warmer day the patio would also be a great atmosphere to sit around in.

I did feel like I was inconveniencing the staff by ordering at times, but I guess that's about par for the course in Portland. :D And I wish that they had a couple more snack options than they did. Otherwise, great. I'll definitely go back.

I was so excited to hear that Bauman's was taking over the former Ecliptic Moon Room, and I was not disappointed with the results.

The cider selection was excellent, as expected. The non-alcoholic selection was surprisingly excellent and definitely not expected. BUT, the food was the real shocker! Excellent, well-prepared, with a good assortment of dishes to satisfy any palate.

We had the asparagus and the braised pork with their housemade sourdough. Everything was perfectly prepared and flavorful, and as it was only the second weekend open, we were prepared to wait a bit, but it was quick and delicious.

I highly recommend you get out here before everyone figures out how amazing they are.

I had a great time at Bauman’s.
The place is lovely, the food is great, with high quality ingredients and beautifully prepared.
Please try the homemade pickles and cheese with speck and the tortellinis. Ciders are amazing (and a big discovery for myself).
Need to go again to try the chips with blue cheese and the beer and more cider!

best cider in the state, probably the country, stoked they have a tap room now in SE Portland. They took over an amazing space, former beer brewery (Basecamp), with an epic patio and beautiful inside space.  the food isn’t what you’d expect from a brewery/cidery, less comfort food and a little dainty for what I think most people expect from a place dedicated to ciders and beers on draft but it works at times.  The burger was fantastic, and the pizza was alright too (wood fired on patio) but both only offered on special days of the week.  Overall a big thumbs up, I’ll be back as I’m in the ‘hood and this has been desperately needed.  Thank you.

Attended a networking meeting in the mezzanine and had a great experience and a wonderful cocktail. Before heading home my friend and I had dinner downstairs. We were seated promptly at our table and instructed to order via our phones, which had us pay for everything ahead of time, including tip, which seemed a little strange to tip before the service was provided.

I ordered the Cuban sandwich with waffle fries. The fries were fantastic and in general the Cuban was great but on half of my sandwich, there was a ton of horseradish. However the interesting thing was the other half of the sandwich did not have horseradish . My friend ordered the macaroni and cheese and halfway through our meal she stopped eating and mentioned that her noodles felt like they had a lot of horseradish on it. I noted that mine did too, which seems strange. Double checking the menu. We noticed that neither of our meals mentioned in the menu description anything about horseradish. With this being such a bowl flavor it seems like something that would be mentioned in a menu.

I would have wanted to get the attention of a server to say something about our meals, but no one checked in with us after our food was dropped off. It was a busy night and even when we tried to make eye contact with the server to ask for a box for our fries. No one caught our attention so we had to walk up to the bar.

Very nice vibe! We sat outside and the weather was great. Big windows were open for indoor people to enjoy outside too which was nice. I ordered the blueberry pomegranate cider and really enjoyed it. It also came out in like a minute after I ordered which was nice. They also have a 6 sampler of beer for $15, which I will definitely be trying for next time!

Really nice place to hang out and have some good beers. Would recommend folks to go with the sampler tasting tray where you can try 6 beers in each order. We ended up trying almost every beer on the menu by doing so.

Fast & efficient service.

Would definitely recommend visiting this place if you’re in Portland.

Nice brewery in a nice neighbourhood. Ordering was through online system which was quite fast and efficient - we prefer the usual personal style better though. Staff is niece and helpful. Beer selection is quite big but unfortunately some of them not really to our taste. ps: they make huuuge and delicious pretzels
