The first cider bar in Melbourne resides in the rooftop of Young & Jacksons, offering the very finest in Australian and New Zealand craft cider, alongside international brands and their very own Scrumpy Cider straight from a French oak barrel.

Lucky Coq

Not as well known for their cider as they are for their $4 pizzas, Lucky Coq actually brews its own apple beverage, the Lucky Coq ’N’ Cider. They do all the usual national favourites as well, including Lucky Duck (coincidence no?), Dr Pilkington’s Miracle Cider and Napoleone Pear & Apple Cider. You can also enjoy the Old Mout Boysencider from New Zealand, a refreshing apple cider with a hint of boysenberry wine for a zesty zing.
