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.

What an incredible distillery!! I absolutely LOVED the Negroni flight. The Matcha Negroni was hands down my favorite, but the persimmon and black truffle were also pretty good. They do a great job on their cocktails. The atmosphere is romantic. Our server Felix was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great conversationalist! The Charcuterie board paired perfectly with the cocktails. And the olives had fun flavoring. Highly recommend this distillery!

First time in and never need to come back nor recommend. Service, even though seated directly at the bar, was pitiful. 4 staff behind the bar for 9 patrons and they just completely missed the mark. Not only did the one person appearing to manage everything ask another one to take our drink order but then when she did, she just rang it up and walked away. The other staff asked us if "she just walked away", which she did. We intended on eating there but no one even checked back once we did get our drinks.

The cocktails were fantastic. There's one on the menu that's basically a sidecar, and it was wonderfully balanced. That is one of my long time favorite drinks and my typical litmus for a bar. The charcuterie plate was tasty and had a nice variety of bites. The servers were really friendly and welcoming, too. Overall great experience, would recommend this cocktail lounge.

We arrived on a Friday night with a group of 7 to have a cocktail prior to dinner reservations. The cocktails were all so unique, but delicious. I had the Gen X “Take a chill pill” which I really enjoyed! Fun atmosphere too.

Drinks were good but everything is a little egregiously priced. Nice vibe but for $16 the cheese plate was a little skimpy.

This lounge is an amazing space to bring friends and loved ones for a nice evening cocktail. The bartenders truly have a PASSION for the chemistry that goes into making drinks. If you ask any one of them about how a drink was designed/created, every single one of them lights up talking about it. The family who also runs the establishment is nothing short of amazing and kind. They are always a friendly face when you come in along with their amazing crew.

The events that this place puts on are also so unique and fun. Every event we have gone to has left us leaving with many new memories and a happy attitude. My fiancé and I have done their sauna pop up and their family style 5 course dinner with an amazing chef that they flew in for the event. It was so cool!

This is a very unique cocktail bar. Ambiance is both cozy and modern. Great attention to detail on the cocktails with some of the most unusual offerings I have encountered. Flavors are subtle and nuanced. Not many food offerings but the charcuterie board was excellent. Feels like every aspect of the cocktails and the place was carefully curated. Lucky to have found Drampfwerk and looking forward to our next visit.
