First stop into the Ballast tasting room and loved our visit. There's 2 different inside seating spaces and outdoor seating. You order from qr codes on your table and they bring your coctails to your table. Food available as well Very fun seasonal cocktail menu and of course martinis! The "garage door" side was well air-conditioned which was awesome on the hot day we visited :) read more

This was my first visit since Cirrus moved to Scott's Addition. It's now located in a courtyard that also houses a grocery store and a restaurant. It's nice that you can order a meal while you enjoy your drink. The menu has changed since my last visit, and instead of ordering at the bar, you can either order on your phone, or have your order taken by one of the waitstaff. This time I tried the So Fresh and So Clean, which reminded me of a mojito, then had a coffee martini drink special. My friend had an El Diablo mule and then a Ballast Bloody. We sat outside as it was nice weather and both enjoyed our drinks. Make sure and stop by if you're in the area. read more

This was my first time at Cirrus and my group had a great time. It was a little tough getting a table for 6 of us but we just had to be patient and keep an eye out. They have indoor and outdoor seating and a gender neutral bathroom. You need to be seated at a table to order. They use a table QR code online ordering system so the only time you interact with staff is when you receive your drink. Service was prompt and the drinks were all really good! All drinks are made with their vodka, besides the mocktails. A bit on the pricey side but worth it to catch up with friends in a clean, well lit, and festive environment (during the holiday pop-up). My only gripe is that I wish they had at least a few snacks or finger foods on the menu - it seemed to be entirely drinks. read more

I am so glad I finally tried Cirrus' new tasting room! The whole area joined between Yellow Umbrella, etc. is just adorable and very well set up. Cirrus has 2 indoor seating areas to choose from. In each area, there's a QR code on the table that you can order from and your drinks will be delivered directly to your table! The service is super fast and the bartenders are friendly and knowledge. I'm so looking forward to warmer weather so I can go back and enjoy their outdoor space next time. read more

Cirrus Vodka - Distilleries Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Writing this re: the new location in Scott's proper. Such a cutesy spot - the original Cirrus was a bit more off the beaten path, sequestered away from the regular SA crowd, but now this is right in the heart of it all. A great place to start or spend your night with plenty of hybrid indoor/outdoor seating with the whole garage door patio thing they've got going on. Wish there was a more accessible bar area to order from, but otherwise not many complaints on my end! Drinks are delicious and fairly priced, service is good, it is very modern and sleek on the interior, feels very new and clean - and I otherwise felt very taken care of. read more

Cute spot! They had a wide variety of mocktails and cocktails. I walked in and they shared their service model immediately. I found my friends and ordered from the QR code. They promptly delivered the mocktail I ordered. It was one of their seasonal mocktails called the "Checking In" with Pomegranate Cordial, Lemon, Rosemary Simple Syrup, Blood Orange Navy Hill Soda. It was delicious! I am sure all of them would be with or without alcohol! read more

New location in Scott's Addition. Excellent cocktails with interesting mixtures. A whole bunch of different kinds of martinis from traditional to non-traditional, beautiful setting and strong drinks. That is the good the bad is. It's very hard to get a table and you can only order a drink if you have a table because you have to use the QR code The other bad is it took 20 minutes after ordering to get a drink. It even took longer for my friends to get their tricks. Yes, it's a new place and they have to figure out their kinks. read more

This was a super cute spot to stop by for some drinks when we were out with friends in town! The service was literally so fast that we didn't believe the server when he brought our drinks! Two drink maximum was our only downside but it's just because the drinks are so good! read more

New location: 1320 Summit Ave in Scott's Addition Beautiful new space which is shared with Yellow Umbrella and Slack Tide (not opened yet). I am so excited to soon be able to order some food with these drinks once Slack Tide opens up. The drinks are a little pricey and it's weird that you can't go up and order at the bar. You need to be seated at a table to be able to order drinks. The cocktails are good though and they are very dog friendly! It's an exciting addition to the area! read more

I love pretty much everything that Cirrus puts out. Their orange crush and limeade are two standouts for sure. I also really enjoyed their holiday cocktails this past season. I was able to try three out of four of them, and they were all really well made. It's a popular spot no matter the season. In the winter, they have a tent for some extra covered seating. The interior is cozy and cute, and the line for drinks generally moves pretty fast. It's a great spot in the summer as well with the live music that Main Line often has going on. I was confused about my total after my last visit and messaged them on insta. They responded so quickly and professionally to help clarify it for me. I really appreciated that too. Shows they care about their customers. I definitely recommend them for your vodka needs! read more

It is one of my favorite places to go for a casual drink on the weekends. As someone who doesn't love beer, Cirrus is a good option to suggest when everyone else wants to go to a brewery. It has the same laid back, daytime feel that all of the Richmond breweries have. The drinks are always great! This time I got the lavender lemonade, but I also recently had the new seasonal drink which is a strawberry mule, and that was excellent! read more

Phenomenal! So cute and colorful. Got a drink that was incredibly unique (pickle martini ifykyk) and am already thinking about going back! read more

Horrible experience. Went there in a paid inclusive tour... the location was closed. They took us to the new location (which was pretty) and is apparently owned by billionaires and it was a private friends and family event. Any good manager would have honored a paid free drink pass and just said sorry for the inconvenience and given us a drink... not this guy... we paid $50 for an Aperol spritz and a Moscow mule. Sad part is I was so excited this was the 3rd part of our tour (after whiskey and rum) and vodka is my favorite spirit, I loved the esthetic of the space, and I was ready to buy a bottle of vodka to take back to NYC. But the entire experience was ruined in minutes. Good look to you all. Treat people better. Would have happily spent money there. Oh well. read more

This is a cool little vodka distillery. I came by here this weekend and enjoyed the experience. The bartender was very nice and the drinks I had were pretty solid. There is a decent sized outdoor area and a smaller indoor area. If you're a vodka lover you can't go wrong checking this place out. read more

new Ballast Location- Drinks are incredible, however ordering area is quite congested and seating is severely lacking with no availability to take your drink anywhere else in the Ballast vicinity. Ended up standing in a corner outside surrounded by 10 other people who couldn't find a seat, but when I sat their pickle briney martini might just be worth it- I wouldn't be lying read more

I was there for a pottery pop up market, advertised as part of a pot-pub crawl in conjunction with the NCECA Pottery Convention in town- I of course had to pop in for a cocktail! I got the Blackberry Smash- which was delicious, even if I was freezing and wishing for a hot drink! lol. I also was intrigued with their specialty simple syrups- I sprung for a blackberry vanilla simple syrup to take home for cocktails! The bar was brightly lit, fun menu boards and quick service! Win win. read more

The weather cleared so we ventured out to Cirrus. It was pretty crowded and it appeared a group had grabbed all the tables in the tent even though they weren't sitting at them. The bar staff were quick filling drink orders so the line went quickly. The blood orange crush was delicious. The limeade was a little too tart unfortunately. The martini was delicious. Didn't see any food offerings. read more

I've been wanting to check out this distillery bar for some time. I was thrilled to finally experience it during their Santa Cocktail Shop! We visited it the Friday before Christmas Eve as a fun pre-Christmas celebration. I loved that it wasn't too crowded like the other Christmas cocktail pop-ups in town. It was cozy with fun ornament decorations. At first, I was shocked that there were only four holiday drinks to pick from, but then I quickly realized that it made sense since they all had Cirrus Vodka in them. My group and I had the chance to try all of them. The Slay Bells Ring was the fan favorite (a repeat pick for people in my group). I think people really liked the house made ginger syrup and elderflower in it. It was very refreshing. My partner and I found the Saint Nicholas Hot Cocoa to be very strong. Maybe it was extra strong because we had the end of a batch, but it was mainly vodka. We asked for more oat milk to dilute it. The Espresso Tini had a very yummy coffee flavor. It was fun to see two Richmond local places (Blanchard's and Cirrus Vodka) collab on the Blanchard's Infused Coffee Vodka in it. I'm usually not a big peppermint person, but love a white Russian. Their Peppermint White Russian was very tasty. I'm looking forward to checking out this place for their regular cocktails (which they were still serving when I went, but wanted to drown in the Christmas joy). read more

Cirrus Vodka - Santa's Cocktail Shop - Distilleries Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Citrus vodka is located between by Scott's addition/diamond district. The distillery is right next to Main Line Brewing so it's convenient location for a day out with friends. They have outdoor seating but it's pretty limited especially if it's a busy day. Their drinks are absolutely delicious and are more affordable compared to bars ($11-12). When I went, there was only one bartender working and the line was long but overall I had a great experience. I don't think the distillery has food but they host food trucks. read more

Cirrus Vodka - Distilleries Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

If you like vodka, this place is a must. Their vodka is pretty smooth and comparable, if not better than a good amount of popular top shelf vodkas. Unlike most vodkas that are made with rye, wheat or corn, Cirrus is made from local Russet potatoes. Thus giving it a unique, smooth flavor. As for the tasting room, it's comfortable, quaint, and intimate. Best of all, they have a huge list of cocktails. Every thing that I sampled was delicious! The Setty and limeade were out of this world. I could seriously drink them both every day and not get tired of them. I couldn't be happier that this area finally got a vodka distillery and I look forward to being a frequent visitor. read more

Since moving from next to mainline to the ballast this place sucks. Since moving they have completely changed the drinks they offer too. The price to proportion ratio is horrible and the drinks are no where near what they used to be. They offer water but ran out of water and water cups. You need to be at a table to order but it's a free for all to get one. No one seats you. It's a 2 drink limit and it takes about 30 mins to get your drink. read more

So my experience with Cirrus vodka was wonderful. Everything on their menu was so exciting and so unique. The workers here are very nice. I ordered both the orange mango crush and the jala-pina mule. I usually don't care for spicy drinks nor mules but the jala-pina mule is a MUST TRY here at Cirrus Vodka! I hear they switch their flavors out often, so I can't wait to come back to see what else they have in store! read more

Cirrus Vodka - Jala-pina mule - Distilleries Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Cirrus Vodka is one of my favorite distilleries in RVA! The customer service and attention to detail is impeccable! The overall ambience of the distillery is very inviting. I usually go for a mixed drink that includes limeade or lemonade because I love citrusy notes. It's a great place to go and kickback on a sunny day. The drinks are refreshing and the bartender is very knowledgeable when it comes to their drinks and distilling processes. They have some of the smoothest vodka I've ever consumed. Also, it's super affordable and It will give Belvedere, Ciroc, & Tito's a run for their money! read more

I'm not really a vodka guy. I've had most of the top shelf vodkas, but I used to say that vodka can be worse than $12 Smirnoff but can't be much better. Cirrus' vodka made me reconsider that. They give you a small taster of the straight vodka when you visit, and it goes down very smoothly and tastes... actually kinda good on its own. It's among the best vodkas out there (and, while more expensive than Smirnoff by the bottle, is a lot more affordable than a lot of inferior competitors). The tasting room is nice. They have some enclosed outdoor seating for when the temperature's nice. The service is friendly, and they have an extensive list of cocktails. The three that were ordered in my group were all fantastic. And, the cocktail prices were /very/ reasonable. If you're a vodka person, I don't get your tastes but am pretty sure you'll love Cirrus. If you like the idea of local spirits but aren't a vodka person and are questioning whether a vodka only place could be worth it, check it out: The vodka is unusually good, and even if it were the same as Smirnoff to you, the cocktails are affordable, creative and delicious, and served by friendly staff who seem to care about the drinks they serve. read more

Really enjoyed the drink I got (spiced cranberry mule) it was truly unique. They really do a great job of having fun options. Came early on a Friday evening and there weren't many people there but it picked up quickly. Parking wasn't bad but I know that area gets busier later into the night. read more

We weren't a fan of the flavors used in the drinks. I got the coffee infused drink and my bf got the rosemary infused drink. They were REALLY small and weak for the price. Cool decorations though. read more

Stopped into Cirrus Vodka while we were at mainline. OMG I got the lavender lemonade and it was the most refreshing drink!! They had so many different options for drinks and the server was so nice. They had a patio that was covered/tented in which worked well with the rain. Check them out! read more

I'm not much of a vodka person but I enjoyed Cirrus Vodka! The building is very easy to miss; it's along the same road as Hardywood Brewery tucked in amongst the office buildings. Look for the sign and follow the dirt road! They make their own 100% potato vodka, which is very smooth and easy to sip. No rubbing alcohol burn here! They also make their own grenadine, shrub, and other various mixers. My group was welcomed by two very friendly bartenders and the owner (it was his birthday and we got free Sugar Shack donuts! Yum!) who gave us a free sample of straight vodka before we ordered our cocktails. I tried the blood orange crush and the blood orange saffron and both were delicious and refreshing. We were also talked into each having a Firecracker shooter, which is their homemade twist on Fireball, and it was sweet and spicy and definitely too good not to drink slowly. They sell their vodka by the bottle as well as branded merchandise such as hats and T-shirts. There is a Bloody Mary bar available exclusively on Sundays that seemed to be quite popular. read more

I've been to Cirrus twice, but frequently have their vodka. The space itself can be hard to miss, it's near hardywood nestled on a seemly dead end road. But once inside you'll be greeter by a friendly worker! You get a comp shot while they explain the process of making their vodka. Then they always have a short menu of drinks you can try. The drinks are cheap, and you can even get a flight if you can't make up your mind! I love checking out the new flavors they come up with. The staff is also always so friendly and will tell you everything you want to know about their vodka and how it's made. read more

I cannot remember the last time I drank vodka without immediately regretting it prior to coming to Cirrus Vodka. As a first timer they give you a small taste of the vodka straight up. I sniffed it and it smelled like my worst nightmare however when I took a little sip, I neither gagged nor shivered. It actually tasted good! They over a wide variety of craft cocktails that are ever chaining. Prices are very affordable ranging from $8 for a flight of 3 different cocktails all the way to $12 for a full pour of one. There was such a big and good looking selection I will definitely be coming back to try more. The inside is a cool little spot with a big bar and several tables. Setty the bartender is really helpful and friendly as well, making it a great experience overall. read more

Cirrus vodka is potato-based and gluten free. I had never had it before, but with a quick Google Maps search of things to do in the area, this place popped up! I visited the website and this Yelp page, and it looked like a lot of fun. Two of us stopped by on Sunday after the Folk Festival, and we left happy! When we first arrived, we were greeted by a cheerful bartender, and she immediately allowed us to taste Cirrus vodka straight up. It was nice and cold and super smooth! We ended up getting two flights and a full cocktail, so here goes: Setty - This was our favorite. The herb flavor came through but wasn't bitter, and the lime was perfectly tart. Barbara - We were not into this one. The pineapple flavor took over the sage completely, so it just tasted like plain juice. In my experience, this tends to happen when pineapple is added to any cocktail, so I wasn't too surprised. Limeade - This drink was TOO sour and not sweet enough. It was tough to get through. Blueberry rosemary shrub - This was okay. The rosemary came through slightly, and the blueberry added sweetness. Chai pear shrub - The flavors on this one were too mild. It wasn't until the very last sip that the chai was fully present. I think pear is also difficult to highlight. Classic mule - The ginger beer was good! This drink was also a little sour for my liking, but it was better than the shrubs. Cold brew coffee vodka cocktail - We got a full drink pour of this one. It comes with condensed milk to make it sweet and temper the coffee flavor of the vodka. I really liked this one! I think even more condensed milk could have been added, but I am a sucker for that stuff. All in all, we found most of the drinks to be pretty dangerous, in that you won't even feel the vodka until later. They all come out very smooth! On another note, the bartender was talkative and knowledgeable about Cirrus and Richmond. We enjoyed chatting with her. The tasting room was somewhat spacious, although we were the only ones there on a rainy afternoon. The outdoor patio would be cool to check out on a sunnier day. The bartender also told us that Cirrus's owners are currently working to open Main Line Brewery behind the distillery, so we hope to check it out soon. Bottom line: Cirrus Vodka is easy to drink and a great base for cocktails. Some of the drinks the tasting room offers could be improved a bit, but you'll probably find a favorite! read more

We went to their tasting room on a Saturday afternoon after looking up distilleries in the Richmond area. I ordered a Blackberry Smash which is a seasonal drink and my wife ordered a Jala-Pina Mule. The drinks were a little odd but got better the more we drank them. I then ordered a Cherry Limeade and my wife ordered a Dirty Blue Martini. My wife said the Martini was too strong for her and I grabbed a straw to mix up my Cherry Limeade since some Navy Hill tonic was sitting on the top of it. The Cherry Limeade was good but the Blackberry Smash was better. Their tasting room is right next door to Main Line Brewery so you can hit two different spots on the same day. We are not beer drinkers so we came for the vodka. However, we did walk over to the brewery and enjoyed some live music. The brewery also had some fire pits outside and one had a fire in it. You are not allowed to take the vodka to the beer side nor the beer to the vodka side so we just walked over with our empty cup of ice. The ambience was very casual and there was plenty of seating inside the stage area. In the summers, it looks like they have live shows in the outside stage. That area looks like it would be fun to go enjoy some music and beer/cocktails on a warm day. We will definitely go again. read more

Cirrus Vodka tasting room is a hidden gem. Cool and laid back vibes, delicious craft cocktails and a really great/intimate atmosphere. The vodka is extremely smooth and I love that it's locally made, and that all their merchandise is Virginia-made. They bartenders make the simple syrups for the drinks out of fresh stuff that they sometimes even grow in the tasting room, like mint and lemonbalm. They have a Bloody Mary bar on sundays with bacon and cheese and all kinds of good stuff like that and the best bloody mary mixes! I used to think I hated Bloody Marys until I tried the Texas Beach mix, so yummy. read more

This place is fantastic!!! i was in a group of 3 people and we tried 2 flights (you can get a flight of 3 or go for a full size cocktail.) We tried the limeade, bloody mary, vodka tonic, moscow mule, coffee infused vodka, and the pineapple punch. All 6 were extremely good and allowed the vodka so shine in all of them! if your in the Richmond area, this place is a must!!!! read more

Locally made and delivers!!! What's not to love??? I really do enjoy this vodka, not nly can you get vodka delivered, but their pre-made cocktails, too which are all great!! read more

Smooth gluten-free potato based vodka with a creaminess to it. They say it's a vodka you sip. You can get a flight of 3 or go for a full size cocktail. I did a flight of Azalea (mixture of pineapple, lime, and grenadine), blood orange crush, and limeade. These drinks are a bit dangerous because they are so good and go down so easily. They also had some cider vinegar element shrubs which I did not have a chance to try but the pear chai sounded interesting. I was able to work with the staff to organize a team event and they were great to work with. They opened their tasting room on a Wednesday to host us, provided a cocktail class with some historical trivia, and a tour of the distillery; and also helped get a food truck on premise. This is a great place to host and event! Plenty of parking, outdoor seating, and a friendly crew. If you live in the area, take a break from the breweries and hit the Cirrus Vodka tasting room. If you are visiting, check it out and take a bottle home. read more
