There were three shuttles running the Sunday we went, and our group of six had made reservations beforehand (highly recommend doing that!). The ride up is worth the trip alone -- super scenic, and our shuttle driver was fantastic. He shared a ton of info about how everything works and how long they've been in business, which kicked the whole experience off on the right foot. Once you're up top, there's a distillery and a restaurant. We headed to the restaurant side for brunch, and while it's a smaller buffet, the food was absolutely incredible -- every single thing was top-notch. The shrimp might've been the biggest I've ever seen at a buffet! They also had brisket, eggs Benedict, fresh fruit, and a whole spread of desserts -- and that's just the stuff I couldn't stop raving about. Best part? We never felt rushed for a second. The staff were super patient and genuinely let us relax and catch up, which was exactly what our group of friends came for. It's a bit pricier than your average spot, but for the experience and the food, I'd do it again in a heartbeat -- this is a special-occasion kind of place. Next time, I'm determined to do a distillery tour! Our group was big and they were fully booked for the rest of the day, so we missed out this round -- but that just gives me a reason to come back.

While looking up things to do in Park City, I came across this tour. I'm a big whiskey fan, so it…read moreseemed like an easy choice. What was really cool is I left with a whole new appreciation for gin! The tour was great. I wish I could remember our guide's name because he was awesome. He explained everything in a way that kept it interesting and never felt like a boring history lesson. Learning about Utah's alcohol history all the way through the 2002 Olympics was something I wasn't expecting. They also shared how Brigham Young enjoyed whiskey, shut down other distilleries while allowing his own to continue operating, and that it was later described as being for "medicinal purposes." Learn something new everyday! Oh,'I was also there for "medicinal purposes" It was also really cool to learn how they distill and blend their whiskey and hear the story behind the brand. ( no spoilers here) I even found out I've been drinking whiskey all wrong!! The price was not bad, especially since the tasting is included. Some of the other distilleries in the area charge extra for that, so I thought it was well worth it. They also have a restaurant that serves brunch, we went on a Sunday. We didn't eat there this time, but we'll definitely be stopping in the next time we're in Park City. Overall, this was just a really fun experience. The places was beautiful! It doesn't take up your whole day, but it's enough to feel like you got out and did something. If you're in Park City with friends, or you're able to sneak away from the kids for a couple of hours, I'd definitely recommend adding this to your trip.

The 5 year Rye Whiskey, Sophie's Gin, Rene Rye-Magnac, and Josephine Eau-De-Vie are all regular items. Most recently, I tried the Gin. It's the most Gin & tonic Gin I can imagine. The Rene and a cigar are perfect. Fortunately, they have an excellent selection of cigars in the walk in humidor.

I bought tickets for me and my parents as a Christmas gift to do a distillery tour and tasting. We had a fantastic time with Karen as our guide, learning about how the spirits are made, getting a behind the scenes tour of the facility and then ending up in the beautiful tasting room where we got to try a variety of spirits. They also have a humidor and an impressive selection of cigars. Check out their cigar tasting and cigar club if you want to learn more or hang out with other cigar smokers. What a cool place! I look forward to supporting them in the future and getting some locally made spirits!

The furniture is comfortable, making it easy to settle in and enjoy your meal. The menu strikes a nice balance. There are enough options that everyone in our group found something they liked, but it's not so extensive that it becomes overwhelming. If you enjoy spirits, definitely try some of their house-distilled offerings. The gin stood out as particularly good and was a highlight of the visit. We visited for a birthday celebration with a group of eight and had no issues being accommodated. We were seated at a comfortable table, and service handled our larger group just fine. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, and I would definitely go back.

We got seated and to start the chairs were dirty (first people of the day sitting here), my water had something in it, and the silverware was dirty. We ordered the bread appetizer, but no plates to put the bread and oil on. We ordered the shrimp and grits, which was very bland it needed salt. Ham and cheese omelet, which my mom also thought was bland, French toast, my son enjoyed. The Benedict, my step dad enjoyed as well. Finally chicken and waffles, which was as expected. On the plus side the service was great and the price was reasonable for the portions. Overall I was not impressed and more than likely would not recommend, at least not for brunch.

My partner got their old fashioned, which we didn't realize was made with gin until after we ordered it and it was delicious - I'd never had a gin old fashioned before. The food menu here was small but mighty. We got the French fries which were in fun shaped spirals and they were fluffy and also crispy and so delicious. We also got the smacked cucumber salad that was really refreshing and a hint of spice. I also got a tofu burger - with fried tofu, hot honey and a pickled veggie mix. It was really unique and yummy - I've never had something like this before out at a bar. The bun was soooo good, and all of the flavors were delicious. I'm excited to come back here!

Their grand opening was this weekend, and they supplied some great food. It was a joy to meet Alan and Julia Scott. Julia was finishing up some bottling and answer some questions about the stills and distilling process.Alan was doing the tastings. His website does a better job than I saying what he's doing. "We've discovered a rich vein of pre-Prohibition herbal spirits, bitters and LONG LOST liqueurs. We intend to mine these recipes for flavor gold." That's really true. I don't love all of them, but I can appreciate how well done they are. That said, I love the special release high molasses Rum. I bought all they would sell me. It tastes right to me. There's a lot of rum around town, but they are made with either all cane sugar, or mostly cane sugar. That makes a really clean tasting rum, but removes a lot of character. I'm in love with a place that's making alcohol with a twist. I also like that they use two labels. Anything with Waterpocket on it is 100% distilled and created in their facility. We have some pretty big names around town that do not do that. They purchase already distilled base and blend/complete/modify it to meet their needs. Alan is completely up front. If he's completing a product, no matter how good it is, and he didn't do 100% of it, he labels it with Robbers Roost. I left with bottles of both labels because the Robbers Roost light whiskey was excellent.

"we've discovered a rich vein of pre-prohibition herbal spirits, bitters, and lost liqueurs. We…read moreintend to mine these recipes for flavor gold." and that they have!! Waterpocket is hands down the most innovative, creative distillery in Utah. Alan and Ana are changing the landscape of craft cocktails in Utah by introducing new flavors, ingredients, and twists to familiar liquors that will spice up any cocktail. It is apparent that both Alan and Ana are beyond passionate about what they are doing and it shows in the quality of their work. My personal favorites are their Robber's Roost Light Whiskey and their Long Lost Eau de Melisse. I am not a gin fan, but their Eau de Melisse is a great substitute and is great with tonic. I would highly recommend a trip to their distillery to learn about their process and ingredients from Alan himself and to taste the variety of liquors, bitters, and spirits they have available. You'll likely discover tastes you've never encountered before. You can purchase all of their spirits directly from the distillery and can find a smaller variety of them at your local State liquor store. Their liquors and spirits are also making their way into local bars, restaurants, and they have even been at local events such as Made in Utah lately. Highly, highly recommend checking them out!
