Bar Cultivar is now OPEN
at The Barrel Factory!
​JOIN US!
Craft ​hard cider-focused Bar Cultivar will be OPEN on Thursday 5-10pm; Friday 12-11pm; Saturday 12-11pm; & Sunday 11-6pm!
Medina NY-based SteamPunk Cider and Leonard Oakes Estate Winery are proud to announce the opening of our new bar within The Barrel Factory in the Old First Ward.  Bar Cultivar will have a heavy focus on terroir-driven ciders, while also offering a variety of beer, wine and cider-based cocktails.  We will showcase various cider regions from around the world to further appreciate cider’s place at the table and its prevalence in said culture. 

Alongside the opening, a new line of SteamPunk ciders will be released, which put the apple varieties into focus, while giving definition to our sense of place.  

Bar Cultivar is the culmination of 17 years of growing and fermenting cider-specific varieties while reveling in all things cider. The opening of Bar Cultivar leads directly into our centennial year as fourth-generation apple farmers in Western New York.  We are proud of our heritage and excited for the opportunity to share the versatility, complexity, and depth of character that we know craft hard cider to be!
