We had our wedding reception here in late August. Olivia was communicating with me in the planning stages and was a great help. It was clear how much everything would cost and answered every question so we could know exactly how things would be executed. Sociable allows for off-site food to be brought in, so we were able to set up catering and dessert to be delivered. Because of our communication beforehand, the staff was prepped to help those vendors set up without us or anyone from our party being there. (As a note, they do partner with Unidos who can set up a food truck to be at your event, if you so choose.) The weather was gorgeous, so the garage door was open and we had the indoor and outdoor space for the West Taproom. About 30 people were there, so plenty of space to spread out. We opted to buy drink tickets to give to guests, but there are other options to go about this, so you're not locked into one thing or another. They also let us hook up to the audio system in just that side of the business, so we were able to play our own music, which was a huge plus! All in all, very pleasant staff made for a chill atmosphere. Our guests loved it, and we loved working with Sociable!

Really love the atmosphere of this place! There were kids and dogs but it really just gave off a family fun vibe. I tried the Thai chile lime cider and it didn’t disappoint. Not everywhere can do a “hot” drink. Staff and service was a solid 5 . I hope to go back when I have more time to try the food truck, the outdoor seating and invite my family. You can sample drinks and there are beer and seltzer options.

We reserved Sociable for a private event. It was the most seamless experience I've had working with a large venue. We got hit by a surprise of pouring rain, which required a lot of reworking of the space. The staff was incredibly helpful in reorganizing furniture, moving the band indoors... they even helped us park our VW bus inside for the event, in case the rain didn't lighten up in time (but it did)! When the weather cleared, the staff squeegeed and towel-dried all the outdoor furniture for our guests. The drink selection was unmatched and So & So's catering was excellent. Special thanks to Olivia, April, Amanda, Steve, Gardner, and all the staff that made this event a success! I would love to host future events in this space.

The place was packed because of Art A Whirl. I love going there. The place has a great food truck that carries a vegan option. The staff is always so friendly. I didn't have any food on this occasion. Will go back again.

I hosted at Sociable for the launch of my debut book "The Shame Game" and I am SO HAPPY I did. From start to finish, the staff at Sociable were super professional! Praises: Staff. Olivia was super responsive to my needs pre-event, making it that much easier day of. Having staff on hand day of and a private bartender for my event/party made it a breeze. They were courteous, professional, and were quick to offer solutions/a helping hand. Space was a great value. It can be hard to find event spaces for smaller creatives, and Sociable had all the aspects needed to make it a successful event. Perks of the mic set up, your own audio set up, tv screen connected via apple, and even the sandwich boards offered, brought it to life! It meant a lot that I could afford somewhere nice for my launch--thank you Sociable for making reasonable pricing--you can really tell they are community-focused in that way! Ambience/Layout. The space at Sociable allows for a really great flow for the party and if you have nice weather, having the option to overflow via the door and have open air made it beautiful. The space makes it so that you really don't have to do much work to make it beautiful--it's already beautiful! Extra perk: easy/safe parking! :) Drinks/Food. Having so many options for drinks, including N/A was a perk. I loved being able to host drink tickets. The option to have your own catering was super helpful to meet the needs/bring in your own special touches. Visibility. Between the usual crowd at Sociable and my own guests, it was a great spot for others to see the message. Afterwards, Sociable shared the posts of the party on their social media. For someone doing marketing solo, this was a perk. (I might have fooled some of my attenders into thinking I had a whole "PR team"--a bit of planning, a great space, a great crew, and a few good friends made it sing like I did!) Thank you so much Sociable Cider crew! Appreciate you! [Note: I realized that my original review never posted, and just found this, while a bit delayed...wanted to sing the praises!]

I love this place! They offer a wide variety of ciders and THC drinks. The vibe and aesthetics are on point, and they have the best outside gathering space. It’s huge! Parking is plentiful on their massive lot. Make sure to grab a snack and a meal at the food truck. Everything is yummy. Highly recommend!

I held a birthday party/fundraiser event here and it was AWESOME! Events manager Olivia did a great job of helping me prepare and making the event happen, Veronica was a great bartender to my guests, and TJ prepared the most delicious meal for everyone. My guests enjoyed the cider, the vibe of the venue, and getting to bring their dogs to my party. 10/10 would do it again!!

This was our 1st time here, and we really liked it. You can get flights and choose from the various ciders. You can get just a single glass of cider. They have a GREAT warm, mulled cider, which I LOVED! I believe you can get cans of soda as well if you don't want to drink hard cider. The atmosphere is great. It was Rustic and fun. The service at Sociable was fantastic & friendly. I thought it was great that in the winter, they sponsor Curling events. They had the rink covered because the Curling season is pretty much done, I guess. As far as food... when we were there (3/2/25), we got there right at 12 noon when they opened (on a Sunday). From their website, they have a food truck on site, 'So No' I think it was called, and they were supposed to open for lunch at 1 pm. Someone was there at the food truck because we could see them doing stuff in the truck, but we never saw them actually open for service. The food truck had 2 big sections on each side they could open for service, but the side closest to Sociables entrance never opened to indicate they were open for business. At one point, I saw the side away from the Sociables entrance had opened and then closed, but that in no way told us that we could go and order anything. I ended up buying a small container of pretzels that Sociable sells for 3 adults to snack on, and we ended up having to leave at 2:45 pm. That is the only reason for the 1 star, but that really wasn't Sociables' fault. I did check Sociables website and like their Facebook where they sometimes post if the food truck is unavailable for that day and didn't see anything indicating that the food truck would not be open when we we went so... That was disappointing because we met a friend (it was there 1st time there as well) for hard cider and wanted lunch while we sat and visited/ caught up. So if we were to try to go there again, we would likely eat 1st before going and then just go for the cider.
