What I remember is bourbon, pear, and pecan pie bitters, with a lightly charred/smoked bit of wood with the ice. Absolutely amazing. Parking is on the street.

They were starting up some of their pride month drink specials so we tried a couple things off the menu that were good. It's not a very large place inside, but was comfy there at the bar area and the vibe of the other patrons was very chill. For being fairly close to my home this is definitely a spot, I could see myself checking out more often than future. With it being a distillery, several of the liquor options are made by Uncle Jimbos, which is cool too!

The bartender was very informative and made me a New York Sour from their bourbon, topped with cabernet franc. It was delicious. All the wine they offer is from NY. They had 2 beers on tap, from CBW and Hamburg breweries. They have various flavors of vodka and also offer mixed cocktails in cans. They have only been open a month so no drink menu yet, but the bartender told us they are working on one. They are also planning of offering brunch on Sundays, with food catered by various local businesses. Check out their website for more info.

Wondered over chatted with the owner to learn the distillery opened back precovid 2018. The business is women owned, located near the old Buffalo China plant. My polish heritage growing up Krupnik was the remedy with honey for colds. The krupnik was smooth in honey taste and mild flavor. My mom tried it as well and informed me was how she remembered it years ago. They sold it in a variety of sizes, even offered pre- filled made drinks for samples to comply with covid 19 precautions. The distillery pairs up with Park Edge sweets for the process of making the candy. Overall, the candy was a nice twist on representing polish culture and East Side of Buffalo . Check it out another great local women owned business.

I have been having tastes of krupnik since I was a little girl from my parents and family so I have high expectations when it comes to my krupnik. This krupnik was so so so flavorful and smooth. I loved that you could taste the clove and honey very distinctly. I also tried their kruparita and I would honestly buy that in a 12 pack as a regular drink of choice. It is unlike any other margarita I've ever had and it was better! Obviously is not a sour margarita, it's just different but amazing in its own way. I wasn't able to try their vodka but I heard other having sips and they seemed to enjoy it. This is a new polish female owned business is the heart of the east side of buffalo. It is 100% worth the try!

The bar has a plethora of drinks and cocktails - I had a vodka slushie that was absolutely delightful! I also had a burger that was to die for - juicy, full of bacon, and soooo good. I am a bit of a soup fanatic, so I also had the potato soup. Everything was so good, and our waitress was super friendly!

We start off with a couple of cocktails, my partner and I. I had the South Buffalo Slam, while they got a "hot" cocktail called the Ultra Violet Tipple (it changed colors!) Both cocktails were very good. For dinner, I got the barrel factory burger, which was a half pound burger of ground short rub and brisket and my guest had the barrel factory pork chop, which looked so delicious I was jealous that I didn't get it. We both really enjoyed what we had with the pork chop being very yummy and a real standout. We finished things off with a shared desert of the Pot Au Chocolat, which was a mousse-like decadence served in a canning jar. Overall, it was a very nice dining experience and a charming space as well as a cool ambience.
