Friday night flights! I’m going to spill the beans on this awesome speakeasy type bar that was recently recommended to us! 📢📢📢 Last night we graciously borrowed our friends’ kids to babysit our kid and then we borrowed them to go on a whiskey adventure with us. How to enjoy a kid free night @greatamericancraftbar: Step 1. Let your jaw drop to the ground and casually walk around all the beautiful bottles of craft bourbon, whiskey, and other spirits in a bar with an ambience you didn’t know you needed. Step 2. Grab a large enough table to fit your friends and your bourbon. (It’s okay if you call the bourbon your friends too) Step 3. Choose your whiskey, order a flight, and start your adventure. They bring all the bottles over to you and their awesome service includes a brief introduction of everything you ordered as they give you the cutest mini goblets ever! Step 4. Send the husbands to order a variety of authentic Mexican food at the equally impressive and delicious @elfenix_carniceria to bring back and soak up some of that alcohol. Did I mention part of the charm of this place is the ability to bring in your own food?! Step 5. Eat food and chill. I have no pictures of the food because I inhaled it but it was delicious and so worth the lack of pictures. Possibly the best steak quesadilla I’ve ever had. 🙌🏼 My favorite pour of the night was the high proof @augustakydistillery. I loved being able to try my first @threechordbourbon and the 12 year was fantastic! I also really enjoyed my pours of @heavensdoorwhiskey, @daviesscountybourbon, and @brokenbarrelwhiskey. This place was amazing and once my recently ordered @femalewhiskeysociety tasting journal arrives, I’m planning on spending some more time there for my weekday lunches while tiny human is at school. Solely in the name of research and trying to better myself. 😉 If tasting delicious drinks is a result of that research, so be it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I would highly recommend both of these places if you have the opportunity! It’s been a while since we found a fun new place we instantly fell in love with, let alone two in one night. 🥃🔥🥃

MY wife found this little spot when "Googling" wine tasting and ended tequila tasting! Right off 241 Toll Road. Excellent staff and superb customer service (Lauren was incredible as our bartender and more than patient). The selection of alcohol impeccable. Fits large groups (book in advance on Groupon. Nice little getaway for groups of friends looking to get out! Bit of advice, "book a hotel!"

Wow I have seen a ton of events posted on FB and finally decided to check this place out. Hands down for rare hard to find or small distillery batch types this is the place to come visit and try new flavors and up and comers. The staff was very surprisingly helpful and knowledgeable about all the spirts in the store. They have to be small batch and American based and mom and pop style. This was a great find for the types. Come check out a weekend event.
