I mean, I won't be back. Staff was bad. Drinks were way over priced. I was not impressed

Nice cocktails made with locally distilled spirits. Dive bar vibes. Friendly staff and good clientele. Bought some bottles to take home and continue sampling. :)

The bartenders know they're stuff. Nothing fancy but solid cocktails. Great neighborhood place to hang.

Came here for a girls-night-out/catch up with a good friend, since we wanted to "treat ourselves" to fancy, upscale, creative cocktails (rather than our usual dive bar City wide) - and this place did NOT disappoint. I got the gold dust woman (sage gin - pretty yummy, but not too strong. Simple and elegant.) and the Bela Lugosi's Dead (AMAZING! Gin, frothed egg white, and FALL SPICE!!). My friend got the Negroni, which was impeccably strong, if you're into that sort of thing (wasn't really for us). The bartenders were friendly & fun, and after 930pm the bar cleared out enough that we finally got a seat. Be warned- it's expensive at 12$/cocktail, but the ingredients and care put into their creations make it worth it.

A wholesome place full of excellent products, friendly and knowledgable staff, and kickass weekend '80s playlists (that are only missing '80s Celine Dion). What else can I say about this place, really? It turns out, a lot. Came in for a flight originally, because I'd had their small batch #18 at Time a few times, and then realized they had a tasting room here in the 215. The flight is four half ounce pours of whatever their flagships are at the time. At the time of this review, it was their white whiskey, their four grain, their four grain select, and then an apple and honey whiskey. The white whiskey was surprisingly smooth. I was expecting "neutral grain spirit straight from the still with a smack of methanol" and instead got something that didn't taste too different from grappa. Neat. The four grain and four grain selects were excellent. The former being more peppery on the tongue and finish, the latter, being smooth as all getout. After that was the honey whiskey. Instead of the super sweet caricature most of us probably are familiar with from the big brands, Manatawny understands balance. We also got to sample some of their port barrel aged whiskey, which was something else. Hard to describe because it's greater than the sum of its parts. Just know it's not to be missed. They have a solid cocktail program down here as well. Check 'em out.

We popped in on a Sunday evening and Sandy was amazing. She was personable and knowledgable, and was such a nice person to interact with. The drinks were great and the vibe felt good too, even when we were the only two in the bar!

Was Jennifer paid off by the news media? The mandate is actually going to suffer businesses. It's about time. Really. Honestly the vaccine is going to kill everyone. It will kill the food industry. govt and media are lying. Look up 911 to coronavirus. that tells the truth of what is really going on. I have been awake for over 20 yrs.

Awesome cocktail experience. With tons of options from their craft distillery, Manatawny's liquors were definitely a highlight. Good service and fair prices made it an even more enjoyable Sunday evening. Would certainly return next time I'm in the area.

Was finally able to make it out here and the whisky is good. Started with the levante brewing birra beer which was good, then the slushy (rosé I think), and did a flight. All good and took the Select 4-grain American whiskey. Staff was nice and the people that were there also were nice as the one girl told me to have a nice day as I was leaving lol Philly folks can be friendly lol

John Herman

Awesome place to get good whiskey. The bartender was very knowledgeable and knew everything about the whiskey he served.
