We LOVE Burnt Church! We come here every single time we visit Bluffton, and we're always so happy we did. We usually start with a cocktail, and I love that the drinks rotate. I recently tried the spiced pear martini and WOW -- so good. For an appetizer, we always love the nachos, and this time we got the wings and the new chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was AMAZING. They recently revamped a few menu items, and this one was such a good addition. The wings are also consistently delicious every single time we come. Such a fun spot with great food and drinks. We love it here and will definitely keep coming back every time we're in Bluffton! read more

Came here to check it out. Cool place. Great use of the space as well. Sat right away. They have a large bar in the middle and seating all around. The front of the building looks like overflow seating and a gift shop. And it does look like a church but cooler. Decent crowd. They have all the liquor and some guest liquor as well. Prices are on the higher end. If you're going to drink here a specialty cocktail will run you $15 or so. Food will run you $14-23 on average. I got the amethyst salad. It was pretty good and a decent portion. Lots of stuff in it. I liked it. Server was ok. Helpful. She was waiting on a lot of tables. Plenty of parking. And like I said super cool space. They do have an area with chairs and comfy couches you can hang out. Nice place. read more

I had an amazing experience at Burnt Church. The moment you enter you feel the place is well taken care of. Their staff is very friendly and professional. They were all great. Ambiance was also on point. We didn't have to wait to be seated and food & drinks came out very quickly. We were a party of 5 and can't remember what everybody else ordered but I know I ordered the Margherita pizza that was probably one of the best I've ever had. Loved the garlic on it and it was thin crust which was a must. I also ordered a margarita as a drink and even though I forgot its name on the menu I can tell it was very delicious and perfect for a hot summer day. This place is definitely a great option if you're looking for somewhere in the area to have a good time. read more

We try to come back every visit we have to Hilton Head. Most recently for the first time we brought our daughter and everyone was super understanding and accommodating of her despite her getting overtired and becoming really fussy/difficult unexpectedly. There were one or two other babies too but we really appreciated the staff's flexibility and understanding. The food was delicious. The whiskey was great. And the chocolate milk moonshine is still one of the greatest liqueurs I've ever tasted. You'd have no idea it's a moonshine, it's so incredibly delicious, so smooth, not strong so you can just keep drinking it. Dangerously good. Looking forward to returning! read more

Burnt church distillery was something we found when we were just looking for a brewery in the area. I am not much of a liquor person, but I fell in love with this place! They do have cocktails and beer and as you see with the pictures there are so many inviting places to sit and hang out with friends or coworkers or entertain yourself by reading the history wall or just browsing the property. Service was amazing and the gift shop had lots of wonderful swag to choose from. I wasn't expecting to fall in love with this place, but we all did! It's a must try! If you're not a drinker, it is still a very wonderful place to meet up with friends. There is great food and plenty of non-alcoholic choices. read more

I am not even sure where to begin. This distillery is quite the experience and my husband and I landed on this place on a Friday night. It was very busy however, the bartenders behind the bar were extremely kind and very fast. We were sure to leave them a good tip. I really enjoyed the ambience of this place and the overall vibe the bourbon flight/whiskey flight that I got was really good. Pretty bummed I didn't know you couldn't buy alcohol after 7 PM oh well next time I would definitely recommend going to this place and enjoying some spirits. Be sure to be kind and patient with the bartenders. I watched them handle all kinds of patrons with grace! While serving amazing drinks read more

Cool spot. I saw this a couple of times while passing this along the way and wanted to stop. I was a bit disappointed that we weren't able to purchase any small liquor bottles since they stopped selling liquor after 7pm, state law. I never knew that. It would had made a cute christmas gift but unfortunately couldn't get any. read more

Did the tour and tasting flight- Clinton did a great job with the tour and helping us select what to choose for our tasting. Afterwards we moved into the main area to have some food and another flight to try some of the items we didn't have during the tour. Food was great and the sanctuary room is very cool. Staff if very friendly and it's a cool place to hang out. Highly recommend if you are in the area! read more

What a great find! This was recommended by our hotel. This restaurant is a converted old church, which makes it very unique. They have live music in the evenings which made our night even more enjoyable. For drinks, since it is a distillery, you can sample a whiskey flight or pick one of their specialty cocktails. For food, they offer classic pub fare, and I highly recommend the BBQ nachos. They were a nice portion, filling, and absolutely delicious. The ahi tuna was also very good and nicely prepared. Service also really stood out. The server was friendly and, attentive. They even bring a water carafe to the table, which is a nice touch. Additionally, they offer a discount when you pay with cash. If you're in the area and looking for something a little different with great food, drinks, and atmosphere, this place is definitely worth checking out! I'm sure I'll be back. read more

Burnt Church was a fun experience. We stopped in after a round of golf. The atmosphere is awesome: stained glass, high vaulted ceilings, wood beams. The architecture was well done and resembles an old church. We got whiskey flights. They give generous pours for small flight glasses! Definitely worth $18. We shared the loaded boneless wings. Honestly, these were the only disappointment of our visit, the wings tasted fine but calling them "loaded" was certainly an overstatement. Overall, this is a fun place to visit and have some drinks in a neat atmosphere. read more

Architecturally impressive building,..more modern yet reminiscent of a venue in Charleston SC.As we are not drinkers,we stepped in for lunch and found the food agreeable.Most probably we will not return for another meal here.However you may find this setting is more to your liking read more

Other than our waitress being way less than helpful, our visit to the distillery was really fun. The indoor decor is so pretty. They had sampler flights, which was good for someone like me who doesn't know their bourbons. They had a great gift shop with lots of things to purchase from T-shirts to coasters to water bottles to decanters magnets, and of course, all the bourbon to purchase. read more

Amazing ambiance! Staff greeted us promptly on Valentine's Day night when we sat at the bar. We ordered two rounds of drinks and got apps. We got the pretzel sticks which were INCREDIBLE with the mustard. Loved it. We also tried the brussels sprouts which were also lovely (coming from someone who doesn't even like them). 10/10 will be back! The drinks were smooth and well made and with a heavy hand which I enjoyed. read more

I know we went here during a slow time of day, but the service was EXCELLENT. Bartenders were AMAZING. Every single one of them. I appreciated them listening to my questions and for making their suggestions that hit the mark across the board. We got 3 flights, a local beer, and an espresso martini. The flights were a moonshine, DIY flight, and whiskey, and each was DELICIOUS. I am so sad they don't distribute their spirits out here in TX yet! I loved all the moonshines, especially because none of them were super sweet or tasted fake. We did vodka and tequila for the DIY flight, and all of them were far smoother than I thought they'd be. I got the iced coffee, milk chocolate, chocolate raspberry, and the Burnt Church Bourbon Cream liqueur. ALL DAY. I was surprised time and time again with each of these flights. PLEASE COME TO TX! Overall, I would definitely come here again any time, any day. Great distillery local to the area, and definitely worth the stop! read more

A little weird for me with the church and spirits... that aside, the food and service was great! My partner and friends loved the bourbon and whiskey options, being experts in that area. For a lunch or dinner option with friends or family, I'd highly recommend. Good food, drinks and atmosphere. read more

Amazing bartenders, ambiance is top notch, live music and a shop what's not to love? (They don't do reservations)

Holy cow! This place is amazing! Our server, Ashley, was FANTASTIC, patient and creative. She took the time to find answers to my husband's million questions. We had bruschetta app (not a fan of pimento but wow), margarita pizza with bacon added (yum mozzarella), brownie bar with ice cream (YUM!!) We sampled pretty much everything they offered. The paradise was amazing! We're going home with a bottle of Anita, iced coffee moonshine, chocolate milk moonshine, and a bottle of pear vodka. Highly recommend!! read more

TOUR REVIEW: Burnt Church distillery is a restaurant as well as a distillery. We took the distillery tour and loved it! There were eight people in the tour group. You start off in the study where you learn a little bit of history about the area and the building. After learning a little bit about what spirits they make, you select a flight of samples that you would like to taste during the last part of the tour. Our tour guide was Clinton, and he was fabulous. He knew tons about the building history as well as the whole distillery process. He encouraged our questions. He walked us through the whole distillery process, took us into the barrel rooms and back into the study, where our samples awaited us! (The whole tour was about an hour and then we sampled). We stopped at the shop and purchased our favorites before leaving. Enjoyed! read more

Service was great! Wife is the bourbon drinker and ordered and old fashion! She did enjoy it! I had the vodka with ginger ale! No ginger beer, but I was fine! Appetizers were delicious! Pretzel Logs , and cauliflower pizza was excellent I'm giving this place five stars! Gift shop attendant was excellent and found me a tee Shiites from stock and remembered me as I was leaving! Now the downside was the sneaky way we were billed.(and maybe my fault for not reading the menu $$$$ first! They charge a buck for the large square secure used in the old fashioned! They charged for the cheese that usually just arrives with a pretzel in other places, but the worst charge was the tip being included with the bill.We us the credit card to pay but always leave a cash tip. Not seeing the tip was in the total we left another tip in cash. To be that's just stealing. But other than that it was all very good. Maybe it was the server being deceiving or just us having a good time not asking. Lesson learned read more

Food was sad and nothing to remember, service was nothing special and bordered on rude. The whiskey flight was horrible, terrible bourbon and can't believe this is a distillery. The property and building is beautiful and is very tricky that the food and drink are as nice as the nice building. No so much!! read more

Burnt Church Distillery is a spot one should visit if in the area. It's an incredbly designed space with a great ambiance and great staff that are attentive with their southern charm. My boyfriend and I ended up coming here twice because we loved the experience so much. It's a great place to catch a drink and to admire the layout and architecture of the building. Great drinks and a wonderful time to be had here! read more

3*=A OK I really wanted to give this place more stars. But I've visited quite a few Distilleries. So I can give a solid opinion. This is planted in a beautiful building that looks like a previous church. One may think church and spirits do not go together, but spirits (in the liquid form) are deeply interwoven in a lot of religions. I was disappointed in the fact that I reached out to this company well in advance before my trip to inquire about a tour. No one ever responded. When I arrived, I mentioned this to several employees and no one seemed to care. My husband and I were approached to dine, as this place is mostly a restaurant. I told the mam that we were here for a tasting. He said we can sit anywhere. We sat at the bar. There were 2 bartenders. We sat right in front of them. It took 3 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. My husband chose the moonshine tasting and I sampled my own. After talking to the bartenders and letting them know some things about spirits, they let their guard down and became friendly. Some of the things we tasted were nice, some tasted very young. Prices were decent. I would return for a tour in the future. read more

The distillery itself is beautiful with delicious food and mocktails. Unfortunately, the customer service for their Amethyst NA Spirits ordering leaves a LOT to be desired. One package I ordered last week was returned to sender with no reason given. It was meant to be a gift for a friend we were seeing on vacation. I sent an e-mail to the listed address, as requested on the website and voicemail for the distillery. Notably, no one is available to answer any calls when you call the distillery. I received neither a return call nor an e-mail, and supposedly the second delivery was made while we were on vacation. We had several people still at the house who got our packages and mail, but they did not receive a delivery from Amethyst/Burnt Church. I have now spent over $60 trying to buy two bottles of Amethyst from the only place that I can order it from (I live in Virginia), and I'm really frustrated with the poor customer service that they provide to Amethyst's online customers. Again, I sent an email and called and left a message but no one bothered to return my requests for contact. I will likely no longer attempt to purchase from their site as apparently they have no interest in doing anything but taking my money for my order. I'm going to move on to another product and inform others to avoid purchasing Amethyst online. EDIT AFTER SUBMISSION - They delivered it to Robins Road, which could have been my bad if there was an autocorrect on ship to page. But honestly, wow. This is even worse than I thought. Delivered to the wrong address once, returned to sender, no contact from seller despite multiple attempts to figure out what happened on my end, then re-delivered to wrong address. My review stands as written. My issue is with poor customer service. Even if I did something wrong the first time, there were 4 days in the interim of no contact from the company regardless of attempts on my end. read more

Been here twice so far and it's been great each time. We like to sit at the bar and just have drinks and apps.

We did a tour last time and it was a great way to find out more of the history of this place. read more

Burnt Church Distillery - Bruschetta - Distilleries Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

Must visit spot in the area! Burnt Church is truly incredible and delivers a 5 star experience on every aspect of the visit. Atmosphere: incredible design inside and out. Very streamlined and modern look. Logo is very sharp on the merch. Staff: SO friendly! Our waiter Matt provided the ultimate experience, offering delicious recommendations and samples of house made products Drinks: Each cocktail was so unique and refreshing. Not pictured, but a table favorite, was The Black Pearl. Also, if you're in the mood for something sweeter, the chocolate milk moonshine mixed with the bourbon cream creates a delightful boozy milkshake. Food: while we expected the drinks to deliver, the food provided the same mouthwatering experience. Fresh, flavorful, delicious. Best salad I've had at a distillery. Guac was also on point. read more

Did tour tasting and lunch. Buffalo wings are great. Everything was great. Clinton answered every question we could think to ask

This place was great and worth the quick trip from Hilton Head for sure. Cool vibe. Chicken wings were above average - wife and kids agreed; youngest said they were the best wings ever. Steak gnocchi was good. Whiskey flight was cool for the price. Enjoyed all 5 - should have picked up a bottle but didn't, next time for sure. Our server was awesome, very helpful and super nice. read more

It's Memorial Weekend. We planned to meet a friend here but couldn't get the hours on their website or on the phone !! Soooo, we stopped in on Sunday to ask about their Holiday hours for Monday (Memorial Day). YES, they would be open !! Sunday ~ First off, walking into this place looks & feels like an old Church.... (as expected... thus the name !! ). Wonderful to feel such a vibe !! We sat at the bar to order a flight & food. Plenty items from which to choose in the way of drinks & food ! Glenn B. was our Bartender. The place was quite busy and the bar was slammed with drink orders going every which way. Enjoyable to watch them work so smoothly. We did finally order the Seared Tuna Plate. Delicious & light !! My husband ordered the Non-alcohol Bloody Mary with serano pepper..... just the right amount of heat for him !! While I ordered the Cucumber Vodka, straight on ice !! MMMMM, it is that smooth. On Monday, we did meet our friend. We sat at a table with Grace H. as our Server. A VERY delightful young lady. Pleasant and prompt in getting drinks to us. My husband ordered the N/A Bloody Mary again while I ordered their Old Fashion cocktail. Both were very good and Grace was very busy tending between her tables. This time we ordered the brisket sandwich with Bourbon baked beans & coleslaw. It came with some cornbread as well. Everything was delicious in flavor. Very tender and enough to split, in our opinion. We wished they had some BBQ sauce on the side to add more to the sandwich though. It was perfect for me, but my husband thought it was a bit dry. The extra sauce probably would have fixed that. Our friend ordered the Seared Tuna Plate, which she enjoyed as well as we did the day before. Our only complaint was ~ two days in a row, we had to ask for silverware settings. What gives with that....??? ‍‍. Classy place, staff works like a Swiss watch but no eating utensils dropped off at the tables ..... BOTH days !?!? I believe they could add that step in with training..... drop utensils off when the food order goes in !! Easy-peazy. We do enjoy the Burnt Church Distillery and we usually stop when passing through Bluffton. AND always walk out with a couple of bottles of "something" ! Highly recommended. read more

Go here! This is the coolest place if you like spirits. We just came on a whim from Hilton Head. We did whiskey tastings and then had a grapefruit Manhattan--wowowowoow! The food is good too.

Atmosphere is a 10 out of 5. Open and spacious. They even have a side room where a large party could gather. Excellent bar seating (and lots of it) as well as tables for dining. Be sure to checkout their long list of cocktails. Food and bourbon is a 4 out of 5. The PALMERS STRETCH is my favorite bourbon at Burnt Church. They have a good BOURBOM CREAM. The food makes it a place to just come and get dinner...along with a glass of bourbon. I enjoyed me some chicken wings. read more

Such a gem! This place is aesthetically pleasing. I love the use of their alcoholic and non alcoholic products along the back wall on the black shelves. The mix of high and low tables is nice. The drinks were flavorful and presented well. The food overall was outstanding. Even my kids enjoyed their meal selections. We started with the Smokey Goat Cheese and pita chips. This was by far my favorite. All the flavors completed each other well. My kids chose the cheesy bread which was inhaled. For dinner selections, the Cesar salad was plentiful and of good quality. Pulled chicken was simple yet delicious. The potato salad side was very tasty and complemented the shredded chicken well. read more
