  The ciders were by far the highlight. None of the food is worth getting again for me. The roast pork on the cubano was very dried out. I’m giving a 5 star review because I want to support local and I do really enjoy the handlebar ciders!

  5/5 Stars - Fantastic spot in historic Erie!
  The Old Mine is hands-down one of my favorite places in Erie. Tucked into that beautiful old mercantile building in downtown, it has such a cool, welcoming vibe-rustic yet cozy, perfect for hanging out with friends or just unwinding after a long day.
  The cider is the real star here. Their in-house hard ciders are world-class-crisp, flavorful, and creative. I’m a big fan of the classics like Handlebar and the seasonal ones; they nail that balance of refreshing and complex without being too sweet. Paired with the great selection of craft beers on tap, it’s hard to choose just one drink!
  The food is equally impressive. Their artisan pizzas are made fresh and have that perfect crispy crust, and everything feels scratch-made and thoughtful. Portions are generous, flavors are spot-on, and it all pairs beautifully with the drinks.
  The overall vibe is unbeatable-laid-back, friendly staff, live music or trivia on certain nights, and that community feel that makes you want to come back again and again. Whether you’re grabbing a quick cider flight or settling in for dinner, it’s always a great time.
  Highly recommend The Old Mine if you’re in the area (or even if you’re not-it’s worth the trip). Can’t wait to go back!

  Food was okay, though not especially memorable. Service was pretty much limited to the register and bar. Drink selection was majority focused on cider, and the ones we tried were good yet also very sweet; you won't find dry ciders here. The atmosphere was pleasant - we enjoyed looking at the mining photos.

  Smoked wings were delicious with a dope sauce that WAS NOT FRANKS ! The pretzel was served warm and perfectly fluffy and salty with decent cheese sauce and incredible homemade STONE GROUND mustard . It had a perfect spicy finish . Pizza was served extra crispy by accident which they apologized for , and asked if we wanted a replacement but lucky us we love our 🍕that way . Honestly, we weren't expecting much from this place because we're generally always let down in Colorado ( Our NYC born tastebuds are not forgiving) but we were THRILLED. And will definitely be coming back there . The Ambiance is definitely super cute too . Only reason I didn't give 5 stars for service is because you do everything yourself , and if that's the case the garbage cans could be cleaner . It was kinda gross throwing your own trash out and getting goo on your hands . Other than that the experience was great !

  This is a great small cidery. Hit the mark for our summer needs with refreshing ciders, good food (names are great), a nice patio area and some live music on a Wednesday. The bartender Zack (I hope I spelled it right) had an outgoing personality and was knowledgeable to their options. Worth a visit!
