I've left several reviews for this place, but last night in particular was really excellent. Service was fantastic. Food was especially on point. Really love everything about this place and I'm Always excited to come back. Highly recommend checking out the tour before drinks/ dinner sometime!

I booked a distillery tour as a birthday gift for my dad and brought my husband along as well! We has the most amazing time! Wonderful tour guide (shoutout to Val), gorgeous location and delicious gin tasting. We stayed for dinner and cocktails and were equally impressed. The food was scrumptious with amazing service and the cocktails were some of the most original and tasty we've ever had. We'll definitely be back!

We had our wedding here this February, and could not say better things about Robin, Jesse, and the staff at Philadelphia Distilling. From day one, Robin (the lead coordinator), answered every question, no matter how many, always in a timely manner. The venue was extremely accommodating, and was so easy to work with. Due to the beauty of the venue, we felt no need to bring in extra decor, which saved us time and money. We were 100% correct on this decision, the venue has so much character to it, that it speaks for itself.We loved having a separate space for the ceremony and the reception. It made us feel like we got so much more for our money, as well as helped to break up the event. The ceremony space was so intimate, and we received so many compliments on how special it felt in there. Once we moved back down to the main space (their entry and main dining room), guests had a blast feeling like they were partying at an old-school speakeasy. We loved the open-air style of the event (which isn't for everyone), however, being we had a smaller wedding (70 people, max 100 in the venue), and we wanted to focus on the party, this worked perfectly for us. Guests also told us how they loved how easily they could mingle as a result, not being confined to a specific spot all night.Next, the food and drink. Obviously the drinks will be the best you ever have. Guests fawned over them, and we are already ready to go back for more. Jesse and his staff of wonderful bartenders (who also helped to make the experience even better because you actually wanted to talk to them due to their charisma), did a fantastic job working with my husband and I to craft our custom drinks (and a mocktail!). For the food, many don't realize the venue has an in-house restaurant. Every single item on our menu was phenomenal. There is so much thought and craftsmanship that goes into their food menu. Guests loved the food, and I know many went back for seconds and thirds.Robin was also an amazing coordinator. You know this because she moved effortlessly throughout the venue, barely being noticed. She was also attentive to us as the wedding couple, magically appearing in the moments she was needed. Many guests told us they spoke with her and that she was so friendly and kind.Our wedding pictures are also so unique, and have so much character, as there are so many spots within the venue that we got to take photos in. Robin kindly took us into the distillery itself, where we got to take photos with the barrels and distilling equipment. She also took us around the outside of the venue wheres theres beautiful brickwork and murals that made our photos so special.There's so much more we can say, so I'll wrap up with this. Philadelphia Distilling holds such a special place in our hearts now, and we'll certainly go back every year to celebrate our anniversary and relive the amazing time we had there.

Signed up for the tour, and our guide, Joelle, was great! Joelle was extremely knowledgeable, seemed to truly enjoy speaking on the history, operations, and the future of the distillery. Joelle was very engaging and answered our group’s questions with respect and enthusiasm. After the tour, we decided to have a drink and enjoy food at the bar. The drinks are crafted with natural ingredients and the bartenders mix with passion. Our food was delicious and was served in perfect portions. This was a fun experience, and something different to do for a “day” date.

These were the best cocktails I’ve had in my life. No exaggeration. Meha was an amazing bartender and made all drinks precisely and perfectly. Will be back 100%

Was looking forward to stopping in for a drink at the bar, however host was incredibly rude and arrogant. She was belittling and disrespectful. Unfortunately will not be back for that reason alone.

Awesome place for food and drinks, they do unique cocktails and change the menu weekly. You have the option of doing a tour where you can see the distilling process, how they choose the herbs to go into the drinks, and then do a tasting at the end! Fun for a date night

Incredible! I really liked the special menu for New Year's Eve: cocktail + aperitif!! The food and drink menu is excellent... I will be back very soon... a place to visit if you are in the city.Incredible! I really liked the special menu for New Year's Eve: cocktail + aperitif!! The food and drink menu is excellent...

Came here for the distillery tour, which ended up just being the two of us and the guide which was great. Super knowledgeable guide who also tailored it to what we wanted to get out of it. Were greeted with a drink, which was a nice touch. And finished the tour with a tasting in the private event room upstairs. Very cool spot and they've done very well converting the space. Stayed for a drink after and their menu is especially interesting. And their bottles are very reasonably priced!
One of the best burgers I've had in a while! Small menu but done right. Server was also excellent and got us wrapped up table side to make our show at the Fillmore with time to spare. HIGHLY recommend!

Amazing ambience set in an old factory with a full view of the actual distillery behind massive windows behind the bar...like sitting in a Restoration Hardware magazine scene. With a distillery focus, a most pleasant surprise how incredibly delicious the food tasted! Hospitality was great too! Greeted by the most friendly host and shown to our table. Our server was very attentive and explained items on drink menu. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I am newly 21, and came here with my family. Inside it is beautiful, with a more calm / mellow atmosphere- so if your party is loud like mine is, just note that before going in. we went for birthday celebrations for two different people in my family, and they gave us two little goodie things with cute stuff in it- which was very sweet! like I said I am newly 21 so I really don't know much about alcohol- but I can say they were very accommodating to me as I wanted something off the current menu and they made it anyways! also the food. amazing. we got potatoes as a little app since we ate at another place before going, and ended up ordering another one. overall, it's classy, top notch, and great people who work there!

This place is 100% a hidden gem. I will definitely tell any of my friends visiting to come for a tasting! For $20 you get a tour of the active distillery, a cocktail, and to taste 5 of their unique and delcious alcohols. We loved so much of what we tasted we can't wait to place an order to ship to us. The cocktail lounge was also a great moody vibe with great drink options. (And everything they serve is made in house!). Definitely plan to stay for a drink or food or both, after your tour.
The Local Guide
Really nice place with friendly employees. I walked in just after 4 and I was the only customer. I ordered a flight for $15 and was impressed with the flavors. I also ordered wings as a starter. Not your normal wing. Dry rubchimichurri , mint yogurt, micro parsley. Didn't taste the yogurt. Beef burger was very good I would give a 5 star. Cheddar cheese, caramelized mushrooms and onions,
