My boyfriend and I were told about this place from a coworker of his and WOW. Such an unassuming, quirky hidden gem! Obviously, they distill all their own spirits but we learned that they also HAND MAKE every single ingredient that goes in the cocktails - including the bitters! The cocktail selection was expansive and each drink we tried was a delicious labor of love. The bartenders were knowledgeable, friendly and added to our experience without having to be the center of it. If we lived closer, we’d almost certainly be regulars. If you’ve not had the pleasure of visiting this place yet, add it to the top of your to do list!

First time there today for a Bridal Show. Loved the vibe, and the food that I sampled was terrific. Will definitely be back to try the restaurant!

Definitely a hidden gem!! This distillery is amazing!! They make all of their own spirits, so you won’t find your typical ones here, however you won’t miss them. They have a full drink menu with unique flavors and something for everyone! If you’re not adventurous… their experienced bartenders can make you something based off of your pallet! When we went, our bartender was Miguel! He was so kind and accommodating and definitely one of the reasons that we returned! They have a huge room that you can rent for events.

Fun time doing karaoke. 🍸Drinks are good, people are nice, and the environment is unpretentious. 🎵 Joe is the best karaoke boss!!! #TeamJoe (We love you, too, Craig…you’re the OG). 🎶

Cannot recommend this place enough. We went here for the first time tonight and I already can't wait to go back! The building itself is spectacular, the decor really sets it, and the bartenders playlist seals the deal to make you feel like you're in an Electronica speakeasy. The bartender was the one of the best I've seen, making everything from scratch, and giving the best recommendations. We met the sous-chef, and her food was great as well; we enjoyed the bourbon BBQ burger, veggie burger, and fries. I really want to go for a tour and brunch! This place is a can't miss bar!
