Loaded Cannon Distillery

Great local distillery! The best atmosphere for getting together with friends and meeting new ones!! You will also find a good choice of cocktails uniquely created by the skilled mixologists behind the bar. Stop by to hear local musicians playing at a fun Open Mic on Sundays.
It is my favorite local business!

Very friendly, low key and really fun.
Bourbon cool place

Amazing time doing the tour and tasting!! So worth the money. I did it with my husband and family. Steve was so kind and smart. I felt like I was given the best history/science class of my life compared to anything I’ve ever learned in school. It was really cool seeing how everything is made and what goes on behind the scenes of producing all types of liquor. I loved this tour and would absolutely do it again and bring by friends!! Will certainly plan on returning!!

Fantastic tour and distilling history lesson. Owner is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. Alana was fantastic. Had tons of fun. Thank you for a great time!

The experience we had at this distillery was amazing! Steve and Alana were awesome. We did the distillery tour and tasting and found some great new liquors! We ended up taking home multiple bottles. We also tried the bloody mary, the spicy rita, and the pina colada-ish cocktail. They were all amazing! Definitely check this place out!

What a fun place! The owner Steve gave us the tour. He made it fun and interesting with his knowledge and a great sense of humor. The tastings were great and there was a big variety to choose from to create your flight. We would recommend Loaded Cannon for a laid back and enjoyable time. We'll be back!!

WOW! What a great find! We visited Loaded Cannon Distillery and immediately upon our arrival we were welcomed with a smile and offered a tour, not knowing what to expect the owner/distiller provided an in depth and detailed look inside the process they use in distilling all their spirits, from the water and the core ingredients to the types of barrels used. This was a history lesson from start to finish! The “Still” in its own was impressive! We enjoyed a tasting of their finished products from the assorted flavored vodkas to the whiskeys & bourbons…all were outstanding! We will be back!

What a COOL place! Steve & Alana are such sweet people. I brought 15 of our family members to Loaded Cannon for my dad’s 70th birthday celebration and we had an absolute blast! Steve gave us a fantastic tour and tasting… his knowledge, jokes, and passion for what he does made it such a fun experience. Alana kept us all sipping on her delicious creations, and we couldn’t resist taking home their spicy Bloody Mary mix and smoky jalapeño vodka. (My husband is a Bloody Mary connoisseur, and he said it was one of the best he’s ever had!) The BBQ food truck outside was the perfect bonus. This is such a fun, local gem! We’ll definitely be back and will be telling everyone we know about it!

Amazing craft spirits made with heart and soul! We had a great time touring Loaded Cannon with Steve. He is so knowledgeable… full of science and trivia (perhaps he’ll be on jeopardy someday! Alannah was a great host and gave us excellent recommendations. Needless to say we left with a couple bottles, some salami sticks and good laughs. The jalapeno vodka and salami sticks make the perfect Bloody Mary!! Whenever you are in the area, it is worth a visit!

This place was fantastic! The drinks were delicious and the staff and owner were so welcoming and personable.

Great flights! So many delicious flavors!

Tourists and locals alike will love this spot! The tour and tasting was so fun and informative that I only got one picture! Steve and Alana are top notch. The tasting and tour was a highlight of our stay in Anna Maria Island/Bradenton and I highly recommend a trip to see them. We loved the whiskeys, lemoncello, and straight bourbon was 11/10.

Great place. In-house created bourbon, rye, vodka, tequila, etc. They also teamed up with 3 Car Garage and are serving craft beers on tap.

Owner Steve is sometimes around and is always good for a quick chat.

This distillery has drinks, tours and a whiskey making experience! I found Loaded Cannon Distillery after looking for a place that offered a lesson in whiskey making. I contacted Steve, the owner, and he was quick to respond. Steve is very nice and super informative. Steve gave us a tour of the distillery and then we got started on making whiskey. The group made two 15 gallon barrels. Steve explained each part of the process. Following his directions, we did each part of the process... from making the mash and fermenting to distilling and then barreling you get to do it all. I've taken distillery tours in the past but did not really have an understanding of what really went into making whiskey. We sampled what the busienss has for sale and what we made. Im excited to see how the finished product will turn out. Now we wait a year and a half for the whiskey to age. There were birthday parties and tours going while we were there. This place gets busy but I can see why. The drinks that are available are delicious. There was a food truck on site each day on the weekend. Steve is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I will definitely go back and highly recommend this place.

I contacted Loaded Cannon for a Birthday Whiskey Tour for my husband and 10 friends after a well known Tampa Distillery backed out. For less than half from what the other location wanted, the owner agreed to a private tour, off hours, and from what I heard, it was fantastic. The tour was informative, they purchased whiskey, had samples, a food truck was present, and now two weeks later, his friends are still talking about it. I am so glad I contacted Loaded Cannon. Thank you for making my husband's birthday one for the books!! Highly Recommend!!!
