Fantastic! All staff were super friendly and the drinks were phenomenal - I had the RI Iced Tea and Apple Cider Old Fashioned and they were both SMOOTH with great flavor! Probably the best Old Fashioned I've ever had. The space was also really inviting and cozy. I'll be back soon!

We recently discovered Rhodium Distillery and have been multiple times now. They have some amazing cocktails and even collaborations with others, such as Working Man Distillers.The space is open and a lot of options for seating. They have comfy couches in the back. The staff are very friendly and they check in on your regularly, making sure you are well taken care of. They have a very welcoming atmosphere and we love it!You can buy bottles of their spirits too! We usually get a couple bottles when we are there. They make great gifts too and it feels good to support local businesses!Definitely will be back!

Rhodium is such a fantastic local distillery! I love their coffee and black walnut vodka it is phenomenal!!Since they moved they have a bigger space now including a parking lot outdoor area with chairs. It’s nothing fancy but it’s nice to sit outside with the dogs!

Fun place with great drinks! It’s walkable from the commuter rail station. The space itself is really nice and spacious; they have tables and couches. They also have games for you to play. Definitely a cool spot to hang with some friends or do some work.Since it is a tasting room, there is a limit on how many drinks you can get. We were able to sample before we ordered. We got: Spring Coffee Martini, Rhode Island Iced Tea, Limoncello Appletini and Bankers Lunch. Highly recommend the Spring Coffee Martini, that was my favorite.

Kim made us AMAZING drinks. We had the Lemon Drop with the blueberry vodka and the Rosemary Gimlet. We were also able to sample the spirits and decide what we needed to take home. Wonderful drinks and welcoming environment!

I visited Rhode Island Spirits as part of a Yelp Elite event and saw so many interesting things on their cocktail menu that I got several drinks on my own dime, on top of the freebie that I received as part of the Yelp event. So this more than qualifies me to write an unbiased review about the drinks themselves.Not only do they brew their own spirits here, but they have a full bar to showcase them. Their cocktail menu is helpfully arranged by the key underlying spirit, whether gin, vodka, or liqueur. After opening my own tab, I tried the Magic School Bus, which was a delightfully spritzy drink for a warm early summer day: grapefruitcello, grapefruit juice, a dash of grapefruit butters, club soda, and a fresh grapefruit wedge. The drink itself was already super refreshing, but after squeezing the fresh grapefruit into it? A whole new dimension of flavor. From my own experimentation with drinks, I can attest to how there's simply no comparison between using freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and, say, the bottled variety.A Spring Coffee Martini was a solid, boozy, desserty way to close things out, as it combined coffee black walnut vodka, decaf cold brew, vanilla syrup, orange bitters, and an orange twist. And at only $11-12 each, the drinks here were quite affordable given how much effort and unique ingredients went into them. You can literally taste the difference.The space is inviting, consisting not just of a bar area but also a cozy living room-like space in the middle that's equipped with board games, if I remember correctly. Service was absolutely welcoming and wonderful, especially since they're an LGBT-owned and LGBT-friendly business. So, yes, do take pride in your community and support your neighbors, especially the folks here at Rhode Island Spirits who are doing some top-quality stuff!

It's a little hard to find, as in the gps takes you to the right spot, but you're gonna ask -"is this right?". Yes, it is. A fair size parking lot is located across the street from the entrance or park on the street for free.In fine weather you can hang out in their parking area where they have a canopy set up, get a beverage, play some corn hole. On our visit the AQI was over 130, so we headed indoors. Across the street there is a sandwich board near the door. Enter there, up a short stair (half a flight give or take) and through the well signed door. Yea! You're here! The space includes 3 rooms. A variety of high tops, sofas, tables and bar seating. The bar is straight through and on the right. No purse hooks yet, but I am assured they are 'on the list'. This is a new location for them and still a work in progress.They sell bottles of their in-house made gins vodkas and lemon or grapefruitcello. If you're interested in seeing their distillery, ask the bartender if tours are available. The drink menu rotates or they cab make you a cocktail of your design. See the menu for details on that. As they only serve their liquors, there are limitations.A few snack items are available including gluten free cookies. Yum! The staff are all super personable. The atmosphere is laid back. Definitely a spot to bring out of town guests for some 'local flavor', a quiet drink with a friend, or meet up with the whole group!

Highly recommend the Spring Coffee Martini

WOW what a cute little gem! The vibe is cozy, service is great, and there's free parking across the building! I loved this distillery because they offer local ingredients, new and unique flavors, and snacks! If you love gin, and vodka they have products by the bottle for sale which is impossible to just pick 1 flavor "Don't say I didn't warn you lol" overall this is definitely a location I will be coming back to.
