Talk about a cozy atmosphere with a lovely design layout -- with delicious, complex drinks that match! This might be my favorite place for a high end cocktail in the area. My most memorable drink of the night was ironically my last one, Forbidden Knowledge. It's unusual to say the least, and most people might hate the lovecraftian ingredients, but I enjoy trying something that looks like there's a story behind it. One of my favorite game series is Elder Scrolls, and this drink just screamed Hermaeus Mora and the dark library within the Wretched Abyss. I didn't have high hopes for the taste, but surprisingly, it suited my palette. Sweet, a little bitter, with a tart bite and sharp herbal kick to the senses. Chatted with the amazing bartender who concocted the drinks that night, and he told me that some of them, like this one, came to him in a dream. He showed us the prep work it took to keep the ingredients fresh and ready for mixing. Gotta appreciate the creative energy and effort it takes to designing culinary experiences like this, so hats off to the staff here. They were so open and made us feel very welcome! Thank you, and I can't wait to visit again when I'm back in town :)

Somehow this place continues to get better. My husband & I would visit when we were dating, 6 or so years ago. We were worried the pandemic would shut it down but to our surprise bluebird distilling was bigger and better than ever when we returned to town this Spring. On this trip, we enjoyed a soft serve strawberry vodka infused ice cream that was DELIIISSSSH. We also got a few of their signature cocktails, each one better than the last. The ambiance is casual & there's a nice balance of indoor and outdoor seating. Service is casual and effortless, with the staff providing service to any table that asks or looks like they need help (in comparison to a server with a dedicated section). We're also frugal people and we were surprised to see the cocktails cost $10-14/ a drink when they could charge $12-18. But hey! We were pleasantly surprised by how affordable the signature cocktails are and grateful the people of Phoenixville get to enjoy this awesome distillery. We can't wait to come back next time we're in town. Keep up the great work!

Great set up with indoor/ outdoor/ hybrid seating options. Tons of drink varieties and the cocktails have creative names. Tons of options for all different types of liquors. The Blackberry Smash was fabulous! Smooth bold bourbon flavor paired well with the tartness of blackberry and lemon zest. Such a refreshing summer drink.

Cool cool cool, true to its name!!

I've been here over 1/2 dozen times in the past few years and love the craft speakeasy-style cocktails! While the extensive House and Classic Cocktail lists of 30+ cocktails can be overwhelming, try the seasonal cocktails from the House list! I've bought at least 3 bottles of the Honey Whiskey - well worth the $40! Note there is no food or snacks available. The grain to glass distillery has an impressive selection of spirits - bourbon, honey whiskey, rye whiskey, wheat whiskey, single malt, dark rum, citrus vodka, gin, agave blanco salvaje (similar to tequila), and blueberry brandy. There's something for everyone! The "Cool Cool Cool" fruity summer cocktail really hit the spot and tastes like strawberry lemonade. The strawberry, lemon, mint, and ginger beer perfectly masked the rye whiskey and balanced out the flavor. I enjoyed it so much that I got another round. Love the "Incider Information" seasonal fall cocktail with vodka, apple, pear, cinnamon, vanilla, fresh lemon, apple cider vinegar. It was well-balanced with a subtle citrus sweetness. The "Beast of Burden" winter cocktail was another tasty cocktail with a nice fruity twist on a Moscow Mule with vodka, blackberry, fresh lemon, cinnamon, vanilla, and ginger beer. The "Gold Rush" summer cocktail with 4 Grain Bourbon, honey, and lemon was spirit forward and packed a punch! Next time I'll request for Honey Whiskey which might help to sweeten the drink and elevate the flavor. The warm "Mullied Apple Cider" is pipping and Honey Whiskey makes it a fun way to stay warm. The "Gin Chillin" with juniperus gin, ginger, fresh lemon, honey, ginger beer has a bold ginger flavor and tastes like a Moscow Mule. The patio is dog friendly and has plenty of table seating - high top, picnic, and small tables. The bar is are open late to 11pm on Mon & Tues and midnight Wed - Sun. Sadly, there's no food! Excited to come back to explore other cocktails on the menu and buy another bottle of the honey whiskey!

Found bluebird distilling after visiting their sister coffee shop, Char & Stave in Ardmore, PA. Located about an hour from Philly, Bluebird is whipping up crafty cocktails in the coolest little space. Well actually the space isn't little at all, it has about 4 rooms, including the outdoor patio. The cocktails are relatively affordable ($12-$14) and you can ask for things off the menu like my passion fruit mojito, so long as they already have the ingredients , making on menu drinks. They have something for everyone: gin, vodka, whiskey, rum and even slushees. The distillery is also dog friendly, which is a plus!

a variety of cocktails

Cool place. Came here to grab a drink during our trip to Philly. It was crowded but we still managed to find seating outside on the patio. Our drinks were great and we enjoyed our time here.

Tropic thunda

Stopped by with a group of friends yesterday and had so much fun. Beautiful venue with indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside in the shaded area and had a great view of Bridge St! Ordered the Tropic Thunda frozen drink and it was strong and delicious! The group and I had zero complaints. Very refreshing, strong, tasty, not too sweet and had a beautiful presentation with a pineapple leaf. I would definitely recommend this spot and look forward to returning!

This is my go-to spot when friends come to visit. The cocktail menu is a great balance of unique drinks with the classic staples everyone enjoys. You can also do a flight of their straight liquors if you're into that. There is plenty of seating inside and out. The staff is friendly and great with suggestions. For parking you can try your luck with metered street spots, but I usually do the church on the corner and do a cash donation. I like to start at Bluebird and then walk Bridge Street. There are tons of restaurants, shops, and breweries. You can definitely spend a whole day here.

Bottles to purchase

A nice place to grab a cocktail and hang out! The spirits are good quality. The menu has a good variety of drinks made with the different spirits. It's also possible to switch one spirit for another in a cocktail. Our waitress was knowledgeable and attentive. The old fashioned was made well with a good flavor profile. Tables are available outside and inside. The inside was nice and cool on a hot night. The bathrooms were clean.

My husband and I stopped here while strolling through town as he has heard excellent things about it. It's a pretty big spot sitting on the corner of Main Street. Theres indoor and outdoor seating which I love. The place itself was clean and had an industrial feel. The staff was awesome! They were so nice and our server was super helpful in making recommendations. I ordered a mocktail, the last resort, and WOW! The drink was pretty in color and delicious in flavor. My husband enjoyed his tasting flight. They have a big selection of products to purchase.

Stopped in for an afternoon cocktail with friends and loved the drinks and the vibe. Bluebird has both indoor and outdoor (uncovered) seating that is appropriately socially distanced, and they kept several doors/windows open to maintain air circulation since it was gorgeous outside when we visited. Each table was equipped with hand sanitizer made at the distillery, which was a smart way to adapt to pandemic life. They make well over a dozen different spirits including rye, bourbon, vodka, rum, and gin. Our friends opted to do a tasting and were a bit overwhelmed choosing just six of their many options (flights include six 1/4 oz pours for $10). Their method of serving the tasting seemed a little bizarre --- they brought over an oversized clipboard equipped with a menu and had placed the cups overtop of the menu listing for what they contained. I think it was particularly confusing because they combined the two flights onto one board, but I'll admit the table wasn't really big enough for a second clipboard anyway. They seemed to enjoy their whiskey options and wound up purchasing a bottle of their seasonal winter whiskey. BF and I opted to trial some of their craft cocktails. I chose the CoolCoolCool (rye whiskey, strawberry, lemon, ginger beer, mint), enticed both by the name (Nine-Nine!!!) and the fruity spring vibes, and I loved it. BF chose the Irreversible Sin (rye whiskey, cinnamon, lemon, vanilla, bitters), which was also delicious, though more of a fall vibe. Wish we lived closer, but will definitely be back if we are in the area!

The place is decorated so cute, with 2 beautiful bars and a retail area as well. We had a reservation for Valentines Day but just walked in for brunch. Our servers both were very friendly and attentive. We tried a flatbread, a sandwich, Mac and cheese, and the fried burrata the first night, with a sangria flight. For the brunch we had the fried burrata again, the pear crostini, a flatbread and mimosa and espresso martini flights. We absolutely loved the place and all the food! The flatbreads were a little light on the toppings for me, so I asked for butter to spread on the crust. I got a red wine infused butter that was absolutely amazing! I was not disappointed in the lack of toppings after that! Best bread and butter ever!

One of the best things to do as a family in Lancaster County is to go to The Turkey Hill Experience…read moreto experience the famous ice cream and iced tea/lemonade brand that started out as a family operation in the area. Tickets aren't crazy expensive. It was just over $16 for my adult ticket. It gave me access to the museum, which is really the second floor. In one small space is a museum about Turkey Hill's history, how ice cream is made, etc. It's very interactive with an area to make your own ice cream flavor, commercial, and more. The ice cream sampling area is great. They give you healthy scoops. There's also an area to try their iced tea and lemonade and learn how it's made. The bottom level is a giant gift shop with toys, clothes, and more. There's a large parking lot out front.

Then I found Turkey Hill Ice cream Experience only 30min away from Lancaster, and decided to visit. We bought the double scoop experience (comes with ice cream test lab) and obviously that was the highlight of the place! The test lab is about 45min experience and the whole thing with self-guided tour takes about 1hr 30min to 2 hours depending how crowded it is. The visit was fun and of course my 5-year-old daughter had a great time eating tons of ice cream!

"It's not the problem, it's how the problem is SOLVED that counts!"…read more It's the end of June 2022 and our daughter Vlada is on her way to Peru for her third TFT summer experience. After 10 days, she was then to go to Ecuador for another 11 days. Over the last few weeks, there has been extreme political upheaval in Ecuador. It's very dangerous indeed. As concerned parents, we reached out to Ned from TFT whom we've dealt with for three years now. Ned was very aware of the situation and assured us that they were monitoring the situation daily. We trust Ned. Ecuador is a problem. Pivoting the kids to a different destination at the last minute is a problem. Managing concerns and expectations from multiple families from multiple world locations is a problem. Fast forward to a couple of days prior to departure. Ned informed us that TFT made the (right) decision to cancel Ecuador and like travel magicians, they pulled an alternative Costa Rica adventure out of a hat! We could not be more delighted with the RESPONSIBLE decision TFT made and our daughter could not be more excited about the change in plans. As I wrote, "It's not the problem, it's how the problem is SOLVED that counts." Good job Ned and TFT. Excellent job. A heart-felt thanks.
