Distillery of Modern Art in Chamblee, Georgia Atlanta

We loved our event here! Becky was incredibly helpful and staff on-site was excellent. I had a corporate event for 100 utilizing multiple spaces within facility.

Here’s the deal. Saw a post about DoMA several months ago and was intrigued. I’ve been talking it up to friends and neighbors saying we needed to get a group and go sometime…looked like a great place for an adult field trip. Well tonight, we were at a party and felt like having a nice cocktail so we thought it’d be a great opportunity to check out DoMA. Loaded it in navigation and off we went! Arrived and found a seat at the bar. One of our favorite servers from a catering company saw us and came to say hello and offered us cookies. Shortly thereafter, the manager (or owner or who knows, he didn’t introduce himself) asked if we were with the private party. We said no, what party? He said they were normally open on Saturdays but had closed for a private event. Now, let me point out, there was a standing sign at the parking lot entrance that was blank…perfect place for a “Closed for Private Event” sign. Or hey, maybe post one on the entrance door? No signage. I pointed this out to the manager/owner/guy and he said “Good point.” To his credit, he asked if we “wanted a shot for out the door”. No, man. I’m 56, not 22, but thanks anyhow. Maybe offer to buy us a drink if we came back another time? You get one chance to make a first impression and the excitement I felt about this place for months evaporated in an instant. Yeah, I’ll tell my friends too. But don’t fret, there’s plenty of other establishments to check out!

The IHG global marketing team hosting an awards event at the Distillery of Modern Art and it was a fantastic experience for all. The team at the distillery were so accommodating and helped us execute an amazing event for our team. From the custom cocktails to the unique character of the space to the warm and welcoming support team, it was a five-star experience. We will definitely plan events here again.

Innovative spirits in an artistic setting. A unique experience!

Highly recommend! We were hit with a warm welcome as soon as we entered. Shortly after we began our tour with RUSSELL. He was a delight. Very knowledgeable and charismatic. He catered to us as we were somebody’s! My favorite thing was finding out about the local art and businesses that they work with. It felt like they care and that’s refreshing these days. The drinks!!!! Our favorite was the 3 little birds! Try it!!!! We also loved the peach so much we brought one!

What a wonderful concept. It combines two of my favorite things, art and craft cocktails.

Amazing experience. Henry REALLY knows his stuff. It's like drinking from a fire hydrant of whiskey knowledge. 😃 TYSM

Excellent tour and tasting! Highly recommend!

Was in Duluth and wanted to find an establishment for a cocktail before dinner - Google brought up a few restaurants that liked to be of just sports bar like. Then I came across the listing for Distillery of Modern Art and the reviews were telling and honest. Russell was helpful in explaining their liquor and the processes of their availability and the stories behind corn whiskey and plaintain liquor. Was so impressed we ended up buying the rye, corn whiskey. Lanise made the best Rye old fashioned and dirty martini, definitely treat yourself and add the blue cheese olives. Tatiana, who normally works in the distillery area was so engaged with us at the end of her shift telling us about the art gallery with art from local artists. This place is truly a gem and would be a great place for a company or social event. I love that it's an eclectic grown crowd without any riff raff. This place is so welcoming, do yourself a Neat favor and enjoy one at DoMA! 🥃

I recently hosted a small birthday gathering at the Distillery of Modern Art and had an amazing experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the drinks were absolutely top-notch. The atmosphere was perfect for a fun, laid-back celebration. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy great drinks and good company—it's an ideal venue for any casual get-together!

The best experience at a bar EVER! All staff members are so friendly and polite and knowledgeable. Also, their bottled bourbon is the BEST. Incredibly sippable!

Come and visit and make sure to try the All Gold Everything; its one of the best drinks I've had since I started drinking.

Did a tour here and it’s such a hidden gem! A cute place to have a little drink and relax. Staff is very sweet and knowledgeable. Their peach vodka is so smooth very good!

The space and artwork are amazing. Loved the vibes!!

It truly pains me to write this, but after the tears shed, I need to share my experience to move on. I am a former artist of the Watson Gallery and had a great experience showcasing my work. The staff was friendly, and the space was beautiful. My husband (then fiancé) and I chose DoMA for our wedding because of this connection. For six months, we planned with Becky Sowemimo, who was incredible—responsive, accommodating, and went above and beyond. She even helped us during an ice storm to ensure we could do our walkthrough. Minnie and Nicole were also kind and respectful to our guests. Becky and her team worked with my sisters to plan what should have been a beautiful reception, but due to poor communication decisions made by Henry Rosenbaum, my husband and I did not get that experience. We booked from 11 AM to 7 PM, yet when we arrived, neither the gallery nor the bridal room (where I was supposed to get dressed) was ready. Instead of having time to prepare for my wedding, we had to wait for DoMA’s team to clear chairs from the ceremony space and bridal room—majorly setting us back. We were assured nothing else was scheduled earlier, yet our spaces should have been fully ready at 11 AM, not being prepped while we stood there waiting. This was the most embarrassing part of my wedding: I had spent months raving about the distillery, only for guests to later tell me they overheard Henry—within earshot—openly discussing how our wedding had gone over time and that there could be an additional charge if we didn’t clear out. Instead of informing me—the contract holder—he had this conversation with someone outside our wedding party. As a result, my guests felt like they were being asked to leave immediately, even though we had been assured in planning that we could transition into the bar area after the reception. During planning, we had concerns about how many hours to book. Ironically, Russell reassured us by saying, “When the wedding is over, feel free to hang out in the main bar. If you’re not 100% broken down by 7 PM, it’s not like we would kick you out.” We planned accordingly, yet that's exactly how my guests felt - kicked out. Because of the morning delays, our schedule shifted. Had someone come to me and said, “You are running over; here’s the option to extend,” I could have handled it. Instead, guests began leaving in the middle of what was supposed to be a joyful moment. The bar service was another disappointment. Our guests were given drink tickets, yet the bartenders inconsistently collected them. This led to my sister being wrongly charged $750—despite our bar tab being fully paid per our contract. Worse, my sister was not authorized to make payments, yet the charge was processed without consulting me. After the wedding, I went to DoMA hoping for accountability but was met with indifference. I even had to physically bring my contract. When I asked why I wasn’t informed about going over time, Henry simply said they “typically don’t bother the bride or groom.” How was letting my reception be disrupted better than pulling me aside? Throughout planning, I was open, appreciative, and excited about this venue. So how did we get here? When I asked Henry, he had no clear answer—other than claiming they only speak to the person listed on the contract. Ironically, that person was me. And because no one spoke to me, here we are. There’s more I could say, but honestly, it’s painful to relive. I’m not here to bash DoMA, but if I don’t share this, I may never be able to fully see my wedding day for the beautiful moment it should have been, despite the heartbreak. At the very least, I just wanted an apology. Or my security deposit, which I never got back. I received neither. If you book here, be extremely clear about who should be contacted for anything time-sensitive or contract-related. Otherwise, you risk experiencing what we did—even though the lack of accountability ultimately falls on DoMA.
