If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The drinks are consistently delicious and well crafted. And don’t get me started on the atmosphere.

Eastern Kille (formerly Gray Skies) Distillery is the best Distillery in town IMO, and the best I've ever been too. Their ever evolving menu with superb staple cocktails are always top notch. They have cocktails for every palette and make everything to order as well as using almost exclusively their own spirits. The rotating menu ensures that there's always something new to try, as well has having some staples to fall back on. The lounge is very modern and bar seating allows you to watch them prepare a wide of array of complex cocktails. The staff are all very friendly and more than happy to help you find something that you will enjoy. While they don't serve food, they are more than happy to allow you to bring food from elsewhere. The drinks are expertly crafted, fairly priced, and well worth a try.

I love EK. Best distillery in town. Brandon and Steve are great guys. Sean is an awesome bartender. The bourbon is delicious as are the cocktails - the blackberry smash is fantastic. The hopped gin is the best around, so try a gin tonic or a gin mule. Even the Appelflappen rocks! I love supporting a local distillery. The atmosphere is very cool. Tiki nights are a ton of fun too!!

***Two years later and EK is my favorite place to grab a drink or two. The cocktails are phenomenal but the staff is far and above the best at any place of business I’ve ever been to. Period. My wife and I always enjoy the stop and will continue to support these awesome individuals Eastern Kille is an absolute stunner. I’ve been a frequent visitor here since moving to GR. I grabbed a few of their cocktail kits over the last few months, which impressed me even more. Since opening up their outside seating I’ve even brought my dog! I’ve enjoyed some truly impressive cocktails. The creativity is second to none. An absolute delight to visit!
