First time visiting, I love checking out local breweries, wineries, distilleries and seeing what everyone has to offer. I heard nothing but rave reviews about the Old Fashioned here, and as a whiskey lover, had to check it out. Sadly, I think it was a very off night. Good: Atmosphere was great, lovely decorating, live music was great and not too loud. Drinks overall are pretty good, can't deny it. The Old Fashioned was very smooth. Bad: Really wanted to try my Old Fashioned smoked, but the torch was inoperable so couldn't. There was also a good amount of Maple syrup flavoring at the bottom of my drink once I finished, so the last swig was just maple flavored syrup which was upsetting. Also, was I charged for them to "smoke it"? No idea, no pricing on the drink menu, no itemized receipt. Kinda weird to me.. Also, comfortable seating is super limited and it became crowded shortly after we got there, so find the right time to get there or stand. Overall: Underwhelming, sadly.. I'm sure I'll be back at some point later, and will update my review, but as it stands, was unfortunately not impressed.

Great drinks, excellent staff, clean and friendly environment. Drinks prices are higher as they are using natural ingredients and NJ products

Owners and staff are friendly and drinks are delicious. I have tried every drink on menu at some point and purchased bottles of whiskey for parties. Everyone loves it. Nice spot downtown to relax. They have music/band playing certain days. Highly recommend. My favorite drink there is the bricktucky Mule.
