About

Twisted Cedar Tap House is a craft beer and mead bar in Mariposa, sharing its building with Smokin' Oak BBQ next door — order barbecue there and carry it over to enjoy with a pour from Twisted Cedar. Reviewers consistently point to the tap house's mead program and friendly bar service, and it holds a 4.5-star rating from 31 reviews.

What's on Tap

The bar pours a rotating lineup of world beers alongside four house-crafted meads — reviewers describe versions ranging from dry and spiced to sweet and fruited, with apple and berry drawing particular praise. A handful of ciders and red ales round out the drink list. Staff, including a bartender reviewers name as Chris, are frequently singled out for taking time to walk guests through the mead selection.

Food Next Door

Twisted Cedar doesn't run its own kitchen — instead, it's paired with Smokin' Oak BBQ in the same space, and the two businesses feed customers to each other. Order barbecue at Smokin' Oak, then settle in at Twisted Cedar for a flight of mead or a pint. Reviewers recommend ordering food early, since the BBQ has been known to sell out.

A really lovely bar. Steve behind the bar was very friendly, as was Becky. They both made for a great evening. The drink prices are perfectly reasonable, and the selection of beers and wines is extensive. The atmosphere was very relaxed and pleasant. We'll gladly stop by again next time we're in Mariposa.
