    AUGUSTA, GA: Brie did it again!! She found another dog friendly place downtown where drinking is the name of the game! 2nd City Distilling Co. has a really warm and inviting space with plenty of seating and great craft liquors, cocktails, and their super fun Durty Girl brand! Vodka, gin, rum, and bourbon are the stars and their cocktail list is updated frequently. Canned cocktails are available too! We enjoyed talking to the bartenders, Jason and Jasmine, both super knowledgeable about the products and just fun to chat with. They are also tight at the entrance to the River Walk and water fountain to walk the pup. Also visit their sister spot, Carolina Moon Distillery!

    I have visited a lot of distilleries over the years, and 2nd City definitely stands out. Friendly staff and a distinguishable variety of beverages to try. I can't remember the name of the one drink I like, but it tasted like orange cream soda. The location is in historic downtown Augusta right on the river. Great for parties and events or just to try something different. It's worth the visit if you are in the area.

    Stopped by to try the holiday drinks they are offering for the month of December. I was happy when we were able to put them in a flight and try them all. My husband loved the creamy drinks while I preferred the others so it was a great option for both of us. I also tried the trust the bar tender and she made a drink based off of me answering a few questions and it was delicious, a little sweet but really good! This could be a great happy hour spot with a few friends or co workers after work especially sampling the monthly offerings in a flight. The bar tender made our daughter a mocktail of strawberry and lime flavors. She's only 17, so she really enjoyed getting to hang out with us and have a flavorful drink of her own. I love that they have the bar decorated for Christmas, it really continues with the holiday spirit!

    I needed a drink on a hump day. The business hours via Facebook said they were open at 11 am. I ended up here at 2:00 pm sharp I knew exactly what I wanted the caramel bourbon advertised via Facebook. I'm not big on milk or cream drinks but I figured the caramel kind had to be a milky kind from the look. The bartender was nice. The two young ladies provided lots of suggestions for the guys on the side of us. I asked about two I over heard them talking of the black berry whiskey and caramel whiskey. I had about three shots total. Each time the girl poured a different amount. About half way full. I just ended up buying two bottles one caramel bourbon and caramel whiskey . Overall I would return and maybe try a flight. The price was very affordable. The caramel liquor was a hit for my morning coffee and holiday events.

    drinks were good, not too pricey. it was enough to accommodate our party of 8 comfortably.

    Roxy making the tough decision between all the great offerings.

    It's an amazing place to unwind. Dog and kid friendly! Wonderful staff! No matter if you're sitting at the bar or one of the comfortable couches, this place is super chill.

    This is where it all begins.

    What started out good (having a distillery downtown) has only gotten better. Whether it's an update on their gin or a partnership with a local coffee shop, you can trust whatever they put in a bottle will be pleasing to the palette. They continue to attract local and regional musicians as well as offer onsite yoga classes and clay throwing (for pottery). Boozy slushies, cocktails, and of course all their spirits are available from the bar. You can do a flight, but whatever you do don't leave empty handed. A personal favorite of mine is the Rabbit Spit moonshine (116 proof!). And of course it's located right by the river front so grab some fresh air down by the river or atop the levee.

    I've only been a couple of times, but both times had good drinks which led to bottle purchases! Always clean and friendly. Can't believe all they do in the small space and kudos to being a welcoming event space too.

    Popped in to check out the ambiance during the Yelpie virtual event, yikes. Happen to be downtown and would not have made it home in time to stream it. Love love the ambiance, looking at it for a friend for a small event venue. Wondering how this place would shine during a bachelor party and not to come across as sexist I could see myself with my girls here too. Clean rustic flair really makes me want to come back.

    My buddy and I checked this place out today. I LOVE the location they chose, being right in downtown Augusta (next door to the Farmer's Market). Flights (4 shots of their product) are $10, and a cocktail is $6-$7. Overall experience was great! Their bourbon is the top seller right now, but I loved their whiskey. I love the atmosphere they give off: friendly, chill, and just able to walk around and check out their process. Music is always good and they seem to be down with music at all times! This place just opened last week, but they are already making strides to connect locals with their establishment. I recommend going on a Friday or Saturday night for some live music while enjoying a flight or cocktail!

    Excellent. The establishment is on the river front in a historic looking, beautiful brick building...live music on a Saturday afternoon. Jeff and Dann spilling the old school drinks behind a copper top bar. Great space and available for parties too! We will definitely be back on our next visit to Augusta! Try the Mint Julep - Kelsey style with whiskey instead of bourbon.

    This place is amazing! Entire staff is welcoming and the Bourbon is to die for. Every time I visit Augusta, I will make a point to drop in.

I have to say that this place just added to the great experience in Edgefield. The lady that did the tasting was an absolute joy. Everything we tasted was great and I found some new favorites. This is worth the drive to Edgefield if you are anywhere in the area. Tasting are free and you can purchase bottles of anything you like to go or shop where ever you want. The store is an old downtown storefront, which created a great environment to try all these great whiskies. Do yourself a favor and make a stop here.

    Well sign me up for the Fan Club. Ya just gotta love guys who love to do what they do…read more Their Ten Goal Single Barrel (93 proof) Bourbon Whiskey is where its at for me . All those flavored options just left me shruggin' my shoulders. If you need some high test stuff for a recipe or just a boring weekend, well they have the cure at 119 proof! Hell, it's known to make rabbits rabid. Their Tequila would have made the trip back to Florida too but they are still maneuvering the red tape tangles of gov-ment on some labeling issue. Sorry guys, next time! As a bonus, for you historian types, the two gals outside the shop selling honey and such can give you the low down on their local politics back to the 1800's. They got's some juicy stuff to share too. In particular how this distillery managed to legally locate only 1 block away from the courthouse. Truly a quaint little town Edgefield is, we really thought there should be a "Sac-O-Suds" grocery just outside of downtown. No such chance. Would have been a great photo-op.

The tasting room is attractive and features an award wall that inspires confidence in sampling the distilled spirits. The staff are very friendly and generous with their pours. I was impressed with their product and we had a good time comparing the different releases. My friend snagged his free birthday vodka, and we got a tour of the production facility! A great day at the HCD! Go, you will like it a lot!

They've got picnic tables outside where it's great to just enjoy nature before heading inside. You're immediately greeted by some of the nicest folks around who seem genuinely happy you're there. Everyone was so nice, helpful, and happy. It seems like a real nice family run place. The tasting and tours are free and they are very knowledgable and helpful. When the woman doing our tasting didn't know the answers to some of my questions, she immediately got ahold of someone who did. Everything was good, but my favourites were there two bourbons. I love that you can buy barrel strength bottles of their whiskies, and i took several home!
