Reviews
I'm giving this a 5* for the tasty drinks (which is why you go). But in all honesty I'm a fan of their liquors already so I wasn't going to be the toughest judge.
The not so perfect...
The staff was great, but the service is odd. You order at the bar then go sit at a table to wait for them to bring you the drinks. Fine but wasn't super clear if I need to wait, sit, pay, give a cc for a tab, ect.
The ambiance: all is good EXCEPT the lighting, it is way too bright. Feels more like a midday coffee shop then cool bar. Just dim those lights please.
You can bring outside food which is nice since they do not serve food.
Overall solid experience and love supporting a local distillery.
We recently hosted a 3 hour corporate reception here and were BLOWN AWAY with the space and staff. Clients flew in from all over the US for this event, and everyone was absolutely raving. We were able to customize the cocktail menu, bring in any catering, and do distillery tours all for a great inclusive price. We will 100% be doing more events here. The bartenders and Mark, our main contact, were incredible to work with. Highly highly recommend!
Loved this spot! Great Distillery tour with plenty of history and delicious spirits. Staff are friendly and I highly recommend their Cocktail Bar which has some really good cocktails. Cool vibe inside and reasonable prices.
Visited last night for the magic show. We were greeted on entry and checked in by a nice fellow, nice lobby/area to lounge, good for groups, also good for kids as they had high chairs, bar tenders were helpful and nice, we had about 6 cocktails including their signature old fashioned, they were pretty good. Magic show was fun and entertaining. I’d say slightly over priced but doable
We went there for the "tour" and taste. First thing you notice is the style, really cool!. The labels of the bottles are great, with a clean and minimalist. Had a good first impression.
The guy which was the only person there, was nice at every moment, he gave us our gift shooter glass and we waited. The tour itself is not a tour, is more like a "fun class" where he teach you about history and how they do their products. We tried around nine different stuff. The ginger one is really good!. The price, I won't say they're pricey but they are not cheap either. Good quality product though.
The bad thing is, there was no enough room for everyone, they should keep the number of people accepted for the "tour" to at least half of what they accept now.
It was a good and fun experience. I will definitely try the coffee liquor in the future.
One of the nicest and finest distillery experiences I've come across. Taste everything and ask about the rare or even tasting room only and distillery only offerings!
We had a fantastic time here today! The "tour" is less of a tour and more like a lesson - very educational. You do get a lot of tastings though! Loved their spirits and ended up taking home quite a bit to restock our bar.
If you have friends visiting who love gin, whiskey, or any sort of spirits - or if you yourself are a fan - definitely check this place out. For $10, the tour is WELL worth it.
We visited for a cocktail class. It’s good that they do more than just tasting and we had a good time. The main thing I’d say critically is that you are sat at a table of about 5 people and one person makes each drink. So, the rest really spend a lot of time sitting there. It’s a lot of time waiting to make one drink and taste small samples of a few others.
