Amazing place. Nick gave us a tour of the distillery. We had a night when a food truck was outside making the most delicious tacos I have ever had. The rye and vodka are freshly made on premise. The drinks were great and the staff was even better. They had a musician playing as well. Overall great place to chill! I will be back , it's a definite #Snobspot!Another great night here on St Patty's Day. We had the Habitat for Humanity card Discount. Elysian and Tonic and the Hibiscus Mule. Delicious drinks. The place is so chill and great.Tell 'em Barsnobs sent ya!

Really fun atmosphere, and the igloos are a fun way to spend some time outdoors in the winter. Staff was very friendly and the food and drinks were great.

The perfect place to meet a friend for a delicious cocktail or shareable plate or for an event! We had our bon-voyage party here when we were moving away! The servers are amazing! So attentive and kind, especially Sam, and the Events Coordinator Allie was great to work with!

Great drinks. Excellent food. Attentive staff. It's a really laid back place that's great for an after dinner drink, a hangout, or lunch.

This place is amazing! We we're gathering for a graduation and wanted a unique and fun place to celebrate. Our server Samantha was accommodating, incredibly cordial and knowledgeable about all the food and drink menu items.The drinks were spectacular and the food was delicious! The manager Alli made sure we had an awesome experience with personal service and attention to detail. While we were there a couple got engaged and they told me that Alli arranged the details of his proposal to perfection. He said she personally transformed a private room for them into a beautiful romantic setting• I was so impressed by this and by our entire experience at Better Man.
One of my favorites! We love their cocktails and of course their vibe. Check out their bottle shop and follow them on social media to stay up tp date on all of the fun events they host. We love it every time we get to visit.

Kind and friendly workers. Great drinks and food. We ordered an extra order of the wings after our initial order because they were so good.

The Better Man is an awesome spot to enjoy some drinks! They have an amazing outdoor space with heaters and comfy seating. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. I would reccomend a trip down to The Better Man for anyone looking for a fun way to spend a night!

Talk about a moment of revelation, but upon my first real understanding of the location of Better Man Distilling, I realized it is in fact the old Blue Point Brewery. Huh. That was kind of cool (and a little jarring) to see as my wife and I pulled up this past summer for an outdoor movie night, but hey, I'm glad the place is being used for libation purposes. Let's back track a bit and fill out the intro as Better Man Distilling hosts some fun events at their indoor/outdoor distillery including film features such as 13 Going On 30 (a favorite of my female and one I was willing to watch to check out the entirety of BMD). Although not spending much time inside, the interior is definitely a more open space than Blue Point ever was with a retro yet cozy vibe. The exterior has a decent amount of tables and seating though where they show the movie (a projected screen against a storage structure) might not have been perfect viewing for some. Luckily, my wife and I got to Better Man on the earlier side and we were able to snag a relatively close and centered spot. Better Man has that internal bar, but the rest of the place runs on wait staff who were friendly and did a nice job checking in throughout our time there (including during the movie). We were never truly looking for someone to help us out which is nice. It was also pretty cool to see that the menu of items they had featured food, drinks, and a handful of movie-themed/named choices. It added a little pizzazz to the evening. What was also "pizzazzy" was their happy hour pizza deal. You get two drinks and a pizza for $25 which is a nice price, though BMD has some really creative cocktails (which are not part of this deal) though we were still able to do a little up charge dance and make those drinks work. Let's talk food first because the pizza, spreads (we got a trio of different types) and chocolate/strawberry popcorn (a movie item) were all quite tasty. I'll even quickly mention my wife's second drink (a piña colada based off of the movie menu) was also tasty and quite big. And therein lies my one big gripe with Better Man and a factor that takes the review down a star. Better Man's signature drinks come out looking like art. The colors, toppers (I had a toasted marshmallow on top of mine), and glassware creates some beautiful drinks that are indeed quite tasty and well-balanced...except half of their drinks are ice. Yeah, a giant circular ball of ice looks cool in a small glass, but a lesson on volume will quickly tell you that this cuts out quite a lot of liquid. So does a giant rectangular slab of frozen water in the middle of a tall glass. Both are examples of the ice found in our (my wife and I) drinks. I mean I don't expect any place to necessarily dole out huge libations, but those ice shapes just made me feel a bit slighted on the price and amount of drink I'm actually getting. Maybe that's just me. Overall though, Better Man Distilling is a pleasant spot to chill out, catch an outdoor movie (in the warmer months), try some tasty grub, and definitely get some well made cocktails (albeit with a lot of deceiving ice in them). That frozen factor won't stop me from returning because I did enjoy the setup, staff, and everything Better Man had to offer. Now if only they could do a retro Blue Point Brewery evening. Hmm...

I've come to visit this place a few times and I thoroughly enjoy it! The ambience is great, they often have great bartenders and the staff can be great! I will say that last time though, one of the waitstaff made it very clear she did not want to be at work and it was a very awkward situation. When I asked when last call was, she said "right now" which was interesting as no one had shared that with us. When asked if we could have a minute or two to decide our final order, she responded with "oh sure, it's not like I want to go home" and then walked away. By the time someone else came back to us, we were informed we would no longer be able to order drinks. So, usually a top recommendation from me but I wouldn't want someone to encounter a situation like this as well.
