Just want to let you know that I had the opportunity to try Hartman’s Straight Bourbon at a Lisa’s Liquor Barn Tasting in Rochester. Ann Lambert who was representing your brand did an excellent job sharing her expertise in spirts and provided the rich history that runs deep in your family in the Black Rock neighborhood of Buffalo. Your attention to detail in distilling is notable. Looking forward to booking a tour the the near future on the last Saturday of the month.

These drinks are great on their own. They are FANTASTIC for the price. Their vanilla chai bourbon is something special and I would've happily paid double for that drink.

Stepping into Hartman's Distilling Co. felt like walking into a piece of Buffalo's living history. Tucked away in the city's Old First Ward, the distillery occupies the historic Cooperage building—a site that's breathed new life into the neighborhood. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that Hartman's is more than a distillery; it's a celebration of community and craftsmanship.Owned and operated by Justin and Jennifer Hartman, along with their family partners Bob and Lisa Hobba, Hartman's Distilling isn't just about the spirits; it's about the experience. The distillery tours, offered on the last Saturday of every month, are a must. They're not only informative, providing a deep dive into the art of whiskey making and the rich history of bourbon, America's native spirit, but also immersive, concluding with a tasting of four of Hartman's famous whiskeys. The sense of history is palpable, especially learning that the building once housed a company integral to the barrel-making industry, underlining the importance of barrels in spirit aging (Hartman's Distilling Co. ) (Buffalo Rising).The story behind Hartman's is as compelling as the spirits they craft. Justin and Jennifer returned to Buffalo with a vision to slow down and enjoy life's finer moments, encapsulated in their fine spirits. Justin, the master distiller, has a passion that's not just about distilling but about creating moments and memories. This ethos is evident in every sip of their offerings, from their Straight Bourbon Whiskey to the unique Loganberry Flavored Vodka (Hartman's Distilling Co. ) (Hartman's Distilling Co. ).As someone who appreciates the craft behind a good drink, I was impressed by their selection. The American Dry Gin, Vodka, and Straight Rye Whiskey are standouts, each with a story and a smoothness that speaks to the meticulous process behind their creation. The Loganberry Vodka Seltzer was a refreshing surprise, a nod to local flavors that captures the essence of Buffalo in a bottle.Hartman's is a testament to Buffalo's spirit of innovation and community. It's a place where the drinks are rich in history and the atmosphere invites you to make new memories. As I left, I couldn't help but feel part of something bigger—a story of passion, heritage, and the simple pleasure of sharing a good drink with friends. Hartman's Distilling Co. isn't just a distillery; it's a beacon of Buffalo's vibrant culture and an experience I'll treasure.

We stopped by on a Saturday night and came for dinner and drinks. It was about 7 pm and it was quite the lively scene. There was a dj playing some great Drake, to get pumped for his upcoming concert, and 90’s throwback hits. It was quite a scene and as the night went on it turned into a packed party. We were lucky to arrive when we did because the seating here is very casual, first come first serve and there aren’t a ton of tables. We started off with espresso yo self and aviation cocktails which were delicious! And we decided to try a few different menu items since it was our first time trying their food. The duck fat popcorn was tasty and had the right amount of truffle salt, the duck fat def gave it a more deluxe flavor. It was the perfect amount to snack on. The sweet potato hummus was probably the best thing we had. It had perfect ratios of sweet potato and chick peas and the pepitas and candied walnuts were awesome toppings. I will order this again and again. Finally, the nachos with grilled chicken were also good. The queso was home made and there were a generous portion of toppings, chicken included.This is a beautifully designed space and you can go back and forth between Hartmans and Resurgence which is cool to get 2 spots in 1. They distill all their liquor and make some delicious high end cocktails. One of their specialties is Loganberry flavored vodka, cocktails and their own seltzer. Overall a great time and we will be back soon.

Our group was here for 2 hours, paid cover and were at the bar watching football. All of the sudden the TV we are watching goes haywire. We asked 3 different employees to put the TV back on the game. All had bad attitude. We waited 15 min and still it wasn’t fixed. So finally we left and went nextdoor to resurgence. Thanks a lot.
