The Aimsir Distilling Company

the business practices here are shady and not the vibe at all. If I could give negative stars I would.

Excellent drinks here! Also the food by Chef Ichiza of Jade Rabbit is phenomenal. I hope to enjoy food here by Jade Rabbit for years to come!

Sketchy business practices, hurting local companies and their workers.

Fantastic experience!! Loved it and the hospitality was top notch. We were able to walk in after our flight on a Sunday afternoon with no wait and no reservations. Got lucky!

While Gin was interesting and Bourbon adequate, I couldn't get a tour without paying $20 and waiting 30 minutes. I waited and had no tour, so I paid my bill and left.

Gem of a spot. The bar is beautiful and I love the esthetics of the whole place. Fantastic ambiance and great service. Tried the flight of spirits, an absolute must. Took home the gin & cold brew bourbon. Didn’t try the food but will do so next time as everything coming out of the kitchen smelled delightful.

Their spirit flight for only 10 dollars was a steal!Atmosphere is nice but it's definitely a hipster type of crowd. Which isn't a bad thing but it isn't the atmosphere we expected at a distillery.I was hungry and saw they have vegan dimsum so I ordered the wonton in chili oil and it was underwhelming and over priced for what you get. I decided to save my appetite and go somewhere else down the street for lunch.This place does get crowded fast, so recommend to come in early.We would come back for the drinks but not for the food. But we wouldn't go out of our way for this place. Customer service was nice and attentive.

Charming place to enjoy some good cocktails or taste their spirits, the atmosphere is very pleasant and excellent for a date night or enjoying with friends.

Great cocktails, great space, great vibes, comfy couches

Really good vodka and gin, great cocktails, great oysters.

Really disappointed with this place primarily because of attitude from bartender/servers as others have mentioned. They are incredibly cranky and uninviting. Clearly unhappy with their jobs for whatever reason. Maybe it's because it's hot in there and they were sweating profusely but no matter what, they ruined the experience.

I've been to Aimsir before and love the space and their drinks. I love supporting a local women-owned business! This time was unfortunately a completely different experience.My partner (first timer) and I were met with uninviting glares as soon as we walked in 40 minutes before closing. We assured the host/server that we just planned to have one drink and would be sure to leave by closing. We were not aware Jade Rabbit was now there (previously Ichiza Kitchen) and given it was one of my favorites, we inquired about ordering one small appetizer. We were informed that the kitchen stopped taking orders 30 minutes before closing (while there were definitely 35 minutes to go while we were having this discussion). The server proceeded to bring out food orders for the entirety of the time we were there, for the two tables that were seated. Not once did they offer to ask the kitchen.Beyond the one drink each we ordered, we were not asked if we wanted anything else and rudely given the check before we were even done with our drinks. The drinks were average this time, a bit on the sweet side for our taste. But the experience definitely left a displeasing taste. I was hoping to share a favorite with my partner, but can't say that I'll even want to be back after this.

Super cool spot!! A little hidden but beautiful once you find it. Very modern and masculine inside with great lighting! Service was great as well.I had a mezcal drink called “The Altar” and greatly enjoyed it. We also had fries to share and they were so crispy and fresh. Great date night idea or just way to get together with friends. I’m not normally a whiskey person but genuinely liked the ones I tried here.

I want this place to succeed so badly. I keep coming back because the food and drinks are amazing and I think they have something very special there, but the service is consistently some of the worst I've ever had. I really hope they get new staff or retrain who they currently have so that this can actually be an enjoyable place.

Such an amazing spot in Portland. Their standard gin is outstanding, their cold brew whiskey is out of this world, and their vodka is award winning as well. I recommend this spot for date night or tasting with your friends. Food is well curated as well!
