The atmosphere and cocktails were beyond incredible! The creative names behind each cocktail was fun to see on the menu.My boyfriend and I were able to book a tour of the distillery with the owner, Ralf, and learned about the process and flavors of the different spirits. So much hard work and dedication goes into the quality of the cocktails.All of the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family!

We had a brandy flight, gin flight and a couple of cocktails, Sam the bartender was great and the liquor was exceptional. I would not sleep on this spot.

I've been here a few times when visiting family. The service is great, the decor is simple but warm. The drinks are lovely & unique since the menu changes so it's fun to be able to try different ones each time. Go on a date or take a small group of friends here!

The Distillery is located in an unusual industrial area but the ambiance is warm, inviting, and has an upscale warehouse like feel. The table lamps give it a quaint feel. A DJ played the night we were there and had great music. The drinks are unique with fun names but very delicious. The ingredients sound unusual but they surprisingly pair well perfectly together. Only thing I wish they had was more food options. The only option was a small charcuterie board. I look forward to going back again to try some new drinks.

Must visit in the west metro. Worth the drive from anywhere in the cities. Unique spirits creatively crafted into wonderful cocktails by the friendly and fun staff.

I had some cocktails here with a friend and it was awesome. They have a themed menu and it’s a fun little piece to order from. The team is very knowledgeable about what they have on the menu and guided me to a choice multiple times. I highly recommend this place for a night out!

If you haven't been... go. If you've been once... go again. It's different and better every time.The cocktail lounge is cool, hip and funky without being pretentious. The team is knowledgeable, friendly, and beyond talented in their ability to match a cocktail to your particular tastes (e.g. "You know what I feel like?"...)The cocktails? Visiting multiple times is a must so you can try each of the offerings on their menu (which changes periodically). Each offering on the menu is remarkably complex, layered, and accessible. Every cocktail begins with one or more of their spirits, all of which are crafted onsite in gleaming copper and stainless steel at the attached distillery. They are mixed in front of you with fresh juices, teas, and bitters (again, all made onsite).I have been a regular, and I always have a little anxiety when the menu changes, and I have to say goodbye to old favorites. It usually takes no more than one or two visits to fall in love with the new, thematic offerings.Take some time, soak-up the ambiance, chat with your bartender, nibble on a charcuterie board. Don't leave without buying a bottle to take with you. The whiskey is beyond compare and the gins (all three of them!) are sublime.As the weather grows chilly, the German herbal liqueurs are perfect in front of the fire. I keep a stock of The Pfeffersack and Pfefferminz as thank yous and gifts for friends. For those special people, a bottle of Rabbit in the Rye (pour an ounce and breathe deeply - all is well).Pro-tip, the bottles themselves are a work of art and make a great vase or a vessel for olive oil or home-made maple syrup.So. If you're looking for a great first-date destination, or a refuge to treat yourself and let the stress melt off with a quick snack and a favorite craft-cocktail, this is the place. You will not find anything like it in the cities.Why are you wasting your time reading this review. Enter the address in your google maps and jump in the car. If you see me at the bar, I'll buy you a pour.
