Atmosphere and service were stellar. Their aquavit was perfect to sip on its own. A nice hideaway in SLP.

My wife and I had our wedding here on Friday the 13th this year. I cannot even put into words how amazing our experience was with the staff at Dampfwerk. It was everything we wanted and more. From the special, curated drinks, to a beautiful spread of food, we felt like more than guests, but family. Everything was so special. Dampfwerk and their wonderful staff will always have a special place in our hearts!

This is a beautiful place to have a drink. Dampfwerk is a surprise. Located in a warehouse in a neighborhood of railroad tracks and concrete block, the Dampfwerk Distillery hits you with elegance and sophistication once you enter. It’s a “Through the Looking Glass,” experience. It’s like imbibing in your wealthy uncle’s basement bar. Known for its aperitifs, Dampfwerk requires navigation. Izzy and Wyatt were our navigators and bartenders. They were great. Everything we tasted was refined, delicious and special. Dampfwerk would be unique anywhere in the world. This is a place to surprise friends and guests from out of town. By the time I arrived at Dampfwerk, I was already tipsy from spending time at another distillery. (My spouse does the driving, thankfully.) Thus, I can’t remember what I drank, but I know I had a great time.

Izzy was absolutely incredible, spent my birthday night here and the attention and personalization they gave to our experience was nothing short of phenomenal. Can not wait to be back and enjoy more of this wonderful place.

Phenomenal bar! I've tried everything on their menu and love it all. It's the perfect atmosphere for a date night. The staff is always so nice and they make you feel so welcomed. We recently went for their trivia on Tuesdays and it was so fun!

Love this place! I wish the menu changed more often and they offered some classics daily, but that's just my thoughts. Great atmosphere, unique drinks, and fun staff!

It was a slow night. The staff was helpful, though the seemed to be busy having mini staff meetings behind the bar. The food was fine, though not balanced with the drinks. The drinks were a delight!

Five stars isn’t enough for The Dampfwerk Distillery Cocktail Lounge!
Every time we visit, we're blown away by the experience. The staff here are absolutely top-notch—friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. Whether we walk in knowing exactly what we want or feeling adventurous, they always come through with amazing recommendations. What really sets them apart is how willing they are to work with us to find the perfect drink. They take the time to ask thoughtful questions, and their enthusiasm for craft cocktails is contagious.
The food is consistently excellent—creative, flavorful, and a perfect complement to the drinks. You can tell they put just as much care into the food menu as the cocktail program.
And the drinks? Flawless. Every single time. Whether it’s something off the seasonal menu or a custom creation, the quality and balance are always impressive.
Most importantly, I always feel truly welcomed at Dampfwerk. It’s the kind of place where you’re not just another customer—you’re a guest they’re genuinely happy to see.
This is easily one of our favorite spots in town, and I recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional cocktail experience in a cozy, elevated setting. Can’t wait to go back!

Omg this place is great. Customer service is amazing, I got here at 9:15 not realizing that they were about to do last call, they still squeezed me in and made sure I was taken care of. They also made sure my dogs were comfy and had water, and they sprinted to the register with my phone so I could use Apple Pay (dogs aren’t allowed inside). Service is 10/10, drink is beautiful, and they’ve done a great job making the patio cozy. Will be back for sure.

The craft cocktails are excellent, it's a thoughtful menu, and the bartenders seem passionate and knowledgeable. Nice atmosphere as well. The negroni flight is fantastic.

A gem of a distillery, very nice to see a spot like this producing fantastic niche spirits (specializing in apple/pear brandy and German style herbal liqueurs). Almost even more impressive, they have one of the best cocktail programs I've had the pleasure of enjoying at a distillery. The bartenders were wonderful and we were lucky to get some time to chat, very much looking forward to our next opportunity to get back here.
