    Omar Kingsley - spiced tea infused rum, lime, almond orgeat, citrus liquor, and fresh mint garnish
    Dee Ann M.

    Before I get started bragging about the decor, the freshness of the ingredients, & the amazing drinks I want to tell you what I learned about this family owned and operated business. This is one of the most amazing concepts. We learned that drinks are seasonal and that the staff get to put in ideas for new drinks and they vote on the best! I love this, all of it! We walked in and were greeted and we decided to sit at the bar to watch the bartender make the drinks. The place itself has a variety of creative seating for any and every comfort level. There is a lot of eye candy decor to keep your interest. They boost a cute carnival theme with a page for their signature local favs, classics, boozier drinks, and even a non alcoholic page. All the names are fabulous and fun along with their house produced gins, vodkas, rum, absinthe, and moonshine. Our bartender was fabulous and super personable. We really enjoyed talking to him and learning more about the place. We leaned they have theme nights and there was a group playing a game of sorts upstairs. Just an overall great vibe and fun place with top notch drinks and super fresh, clean ingredients. Color me amazed, impressed, and just down right jealous that this place isn't in my neighborhood of Vegas. Even if you don't drink, the nonalcoholic drinks are phenomenal. We started with a fun spirited drink and finished with a non alcoholic drink. I highly recommend coming here. You will be hooked with so much WOW factor!

    Is it a distillery or is it a bar? We're all in luck because it's BOTH!! The distilled spirits are all very tasty, with some being extremely unique and shall I say bizarre!! The drinks they concoct with those spirits are phenomenal and not like anything you'll get anywhere else! First, we tasted and sampled to find our favorites! We definitely weren't prepared to love them all!! Next came choosing the cocktails, that was the hardest part! Of the few we were able to drink, we were blown away by the craftsmanship. The flavors were all mixed perfectly with every single ingredient shining through, including the spirits. Service was super friendly and all of them definitely knew their stuff! From the decor, atmosphere, service and spirits, Backwards Distilling is anything but backwards! It is hands down in front of and leading the pack!

    Beauty & Thrills. With crafting bar background.

    Very swanky, and friendly atmosphere. Drinks are fun and approachable. Definitely coming back, definitely great place for a baby shower. lol

    This is Casper's best place for cocktails. It is so unique and has a huge variety of drinks to try with their own alcohols! It would be a great place to take a group of friends or go on a quick date for a drink. Although they don't stay open late, they are definitely great! 100 Horses - strong vinegar taste but still smooth. It's definitely a sipping drink. One of my favorites if you are into something different! Mr. Grimaldi - pumpkin drink is sweet and balanced. Yum! Dragon Chariot - rum, muddled lines, bitters. If you like bitters you will like this drink Golden Gong - actually tastes like tiramisu! This is the one place in town I will miss when we leave. So many unique cocktails, great ambiance, friendly amazing staff, and they are a distillery so it adds the extra coolness in that they make everything themselves. Love this place!

    Uh, amazing. Best whiskey I've had outside of Jameson in IRE! Gin also very drinkable, smooth and I DON'T like gin. Never drink it! Great vibe inside. Excellent customer service. Come check it out, and you'll love it too!

    So just had a chance to check out the new location and it's fabulous! The place was slammed and staff was still killin it with great original drinks and service. These are some of the best mixed drinks we've ever had and the prices were totally fair compared to a big city. So impressive for a small town like Casper, we loved it and will be back.

    Wizard Prince of Arabia - very tasty!
    Stacey M.

    I highly recommend Backwards Distillery. It's a very friendly, warm place with unique, fun cocktails. We came for the cinnamon moonshine spiked hot cocoa, Mr. North. The cocoa was a hit for all six of us. The Hot Toddy had plenty of fans within the group. I really enjoyed the Wizard Prince of Arabia (rum, brown sugar syrup, pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, lemon juice, lime juice, coconut milk, allspice dram). We also had an interesting tour and tasting.

    Creative cocktails!   Don't be stingy; Have a tasting party with friends!  Great recommendations, Amber.  Thanks.

    Such a nice option in Casper.... Old school speakeasy meets progressive chic, with a splash of carnival atmosphere. Unique, creative cocktails and a friendly staff. They'll let you try their ginger beer and it's really tasty. There's some intriguing alcohol-free options too. It's a find!

    You walk through the door, and you're greeted by prohibitionesque decor and smiling faces. The owners of the distillery are behind the bar, mixing up curious elixirs. You sit in the room of mirrors, amidst the coolest chandeliers you have ever seen, sipping a cold concoction that reminds you of walking among flowers in springtime. In all seriousness, this place is a shining gem in an otherwise bleak town. Try the Charly Mule, with flavor a of blueberry and thyme and their own ginger beer, it's my favorite.

    I have to say, I am disappointed. We did a wagon ride July 22, 2024 I did my research before…read morebooking a two hour tour for my family. The reviews looked good and the website pictures amazing. I am not sure if it was an off day for the company or maybe it's under new ownership, or what, but it's really just an overpriced wagon ride. The tour guide was dressed in regular clothing and there was no information given about the Oregon Trail. I was thinking maybe our trail guide is not a regular guide. It seemed like the owner just wanted the money and grabbed a person to steer the wagon. He also was hard of hearing (nothing wrong with that), but it meant when my kids asked questions he could not hear. So it was like a two hour silent ride. I would say skip this if you are in Casper. Do the free museum in town instead.

    We just got back from a exiting, and fun Wagon Train Ride through Historic Trails West. When I…read morefirst contacted Morris, I could tell he was the real deal. He was so accomodating, and made our group of 8 adults feel like we really experienced traveling on the Oregon Trail. He and David took us on an amazing wagon train ride, and with all of his knowledge and great stories we could visualize life on the trail back then. After the ride was over, we had a delicious meal that Chef Dave cooked right in front off us, complete with dutch oven peach cobbler. This was an experience that none of us will forget! Thank you so much Morris, and both Daves :-)
