We had a little get together with a bunch friends from work. We started at Source Brewery and us girls wanted to take a walk across the lot for some espresso martinis. For a Saturday night it wasn't too crowded they had pretty good music playing. The espresso martinis were delicious. They had $6 orange cream shots, but I guess they must have sold out by the time we got there. They did offer us an apple or peach. I think we did apple.. lol either way. That was delicious. We ended up doing 2 rounds. Overall we had a great time. read more

We had the best time at the distillery. Awesome drinks. Bartender was so amazing - one of the drinks was a bit strong for one of us and he made a new one even though we said it was fine. He took such good care of us. The plum cocktail was the favorite of ours. We stayed to play games in the back room. Such a fun evening! read more

Great small distillery right in the hear of Colts Neck. The bar is small, but there's also an outdoor area that is nice when the weather is good. Drinks are great but no food, don't go hungry... Perfect spot to met a friend or two for a couple drinks to catch up. PS- They have a cigar night periodically where they have a vendor roll cigars on site and bundle with drinks. read more

We were 3 couples on a Saturday afternoon about 3:00. Drinks are very good and priced about $16 each. There was a small patio with fire pits that ran out of propane and were not refilled after asking. There were no chairs set up on the other side of the building. I had driven by a few times and the grassy area had adirondack chairs. There was nothing set up. It's a different type of place with good drinks and no food except food truck near adjoining brewery. I don't feel the need to return. read more

So to start there's no parking. I don't get it because there were like 6 people inside. So we grab seats at the bar, great. The guy with the beard didn't even greet us but kind of threw menus our way. The cocktail menu was limited but what we settled on was underwhelming and overpriced. Mostly ice and cranberry juice super disappointing. We felt pretty out of place because the bearded guy seemed to be annoyed that we were there. If you don't want a customer facing job where you have to talk to people, maybe this isn't the right place for him. Honestly, we just felt uncomfortable so we chugged our drinks and got the heck out of there. Never again. read more

This place is awesome! Clearly I'm sleeping on Colts Neck because for 2 years I worked out at a weightlifting gym 1/4 mile away from Delicious Orchards and had no idea that Delicious Orchards even existed. Last fall I went to Delicious Orchards for the first time and somehow didn't notice the Stillhouse. I've said it before but I really need to wear my glasses more often. On to the Stillhouse. The back patio is great. On a summer Friday evening it wasn't too busy and easy to snag a table. Keith (Beef if you're nasty) was friendly and made everyone feel at home. I started with the Jam, Honey and was truly undone at the jelly on the spoon. I also had the Pushin P and the Drink Peace. I really liked this one because sometimes cucumber basil drinks tastes really predictable but this one held a little something back in a good way. I appreciated the restraint. Now the real star of the show was the barrel aged gin with elderflower and honey. Gin and tonic was my "getting ready to go out" drink lmao when I was younger and I've rediscovered them in middle age nostalgia. So lately I've been collecting gin. I've never even seen a dark gin! This thing was so delicious I enjoyed 2 pours then bought a bottle. Apparently they have food trucks and pop ups on site. Chik Fil A was there last night - during Pride month no less. Yikes. Never forget. Anyway I got Wendy's instead. read more

This is one of the best experiences I've had at a stillhouse. You must wait outside until someone comes out and greets you. They explain all the types of liquor they make and how everything is fresh and home grown for the drinks. It is 21+ so not kids are running around plus it is dog friendly. My boyfriend and I ordered the Hawaiian name and the lemonade. Both were pretty strong but still had a hint of sweetness to it. Also can we talk about the presentation of Hawaiian name. Super pretty. Will definitely be returning here with my dog next time. read more

Love this distillery and their unique and creative cocktails - I mean, where else can you get a drink with brie cheese gin or eucalyptus vodka? The brie cheese gin definitely surprised me - you can't taste the cheese at all but there's a slight hint of creaminess in the drink. I also enjoyed the mintiness and refreshing flavors of the eucalyptus vodka cocktail - perfect for a warm sunny day. I've noticed that this spot can get super busy, but we had no wait on a Sunday late afternoon. They also had two special cocktails on the menu for Sundays only, which makes it even more tempting to visit again on a Sunday! read more

This is by far one of the best distilleries I have been to and I've been to several recently. This is the new hip thing right now. Locally distilled, and locally brewed custom cocktails and drinks. The Stillhouse is located right next door to Delicious Orchards, and directly behind is The Source Farmhouse Brewery. Once we parked I had to line up outside for a few minutes and then we were greeted by a hostess. They will proof anyone they think is underage and will ask you for ID. I received a wrist band, and I was immediately walked inside and seated at the bar with my boyfriend. All of the staff and bartenders are very friendly. My bartender Jay made really great cocktails. Everyone I tried was delicious and really balanced. The MUCKLEYEYE SPIRITS are really good. My favorite cocktail is the STRAIGHT JACKET COCKTAIL - Gin, pomegranate, lemon, cranberry bitters. My second favorite is the -BLACK BETTY COCKTAIL-Gin, spiced blackberry shrub aka rosemary and lemon. The presentation of this drink is great. My drink was topped with rosemary sprig and then lit on fire, and then it goes out. The drink is really balanced and if you love blackberries you'll really like this drink. My boyfriend really enjoyed his drinks. He chose the SIDE PIECE- Bourbon, citrus curaçao, lemon, simple syrup. BY ORDER OF THE PEACHY BLINDERS- Bourbon, peach cordial, walnut bitters, apple pie jam. This is not a big place, but the drinks are made well. We took home the Muckleyeye Vodka, and Muckleyeye Bourbon. The bar is circular with large glass windows to let in natural light. There's parking up front and in the back more parking. This is a fun place to come and spend a few hours read more

Not affiliated with the source brewhouse behind it, but it's nice to have both options for liquor and beer! Small place to accommodate for social distancing but thankfully their outdoor seating area provides enough tables and chairs, I think there's a total of three separate sections. A few of their drinks incorporate peppers, so be sure to be aware in case you don't like that. I usually don't, but it wasn't super overpowering. We liked the vodka drinks, bourbon was strong, but we usually aren't bourbon people, but still good nonetheless! The vibe was very chill and comfortable! read more

Welcome to the neighborhood Colts Neck StillHouse! What a great addition to Route 34. We had a couple of great cocktails today and really enjoy a great vibe h going at the bar. I can't wait for the warm weather to kick in and this place is really gonna rock! Right now they have food trucks scheduled and nothing in-house. The owner does the tours and those usually start around 4pm. We'll have to come back for that! I tried a gin and vodka cocktail and they were both delish. Dayna at the bar was very personable and made us feel at home. We will definitely be back. read more

Colts Neck StillHouse - Preston's Fedora - Distilleries Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

About one year ago, on a chilly rainy lousy day... We missed our turn and instead happened to stumble upon an interesting blue building with the word "Muckleyeye" written whimsically across the front with "Stillhouse" included. My interest was piqued. Going in, we were warmly greeted with smiles and a staff eager to please. We tried a sampling of spirits, artisanally created on site. Bourbon, Rye, Vodka, American Gin, and East Coast Rum. Each sip was more impressive than the last. And to this day, the ONLY rum, gin, and vodka I not only can drink at room temperature straight, but enjoy to do so as well. But it gets better. To display the depth and dynamic flavors of the spirits, the staff artfully created inspired and delicious cocktails. We were hooked. We've been back countless times, with many friends in tow. Each time we are greeted just as warmly as the first. The cocktails change seasonally, and have become something we look forward to exploring regularly. Rightfully so, Colt's Neck Stillhouse has become quite the popular spot. Their spirits are distributed and accessable from our local liquor stores, but we still go every opportunity we have. The skill and personalities of the staff are second to none. The cocktails are always amazing. The atmosphere is inviting. You can't go wrong going here. For the naysayers who've left negative feedback... It's important to know what CNS offers. They are NOT a "bar" in the traditional sense. They are not open until 2am with sports on every wall. They are a craft, small batch distillery creating amazing spirits, and showcasing their spirits through artfully inspired cocktails. They are brand ambassadors of the highest caliber. Down to earth, fun, adventurous, and knowledgeable of their products. Myself, my family, and my friends are hooked, and we'll be patrons for MANY years to come. read more

Short take: warm staff, creative cocktails, and a great time overall. Long take: came here for the first time. I'm always a little nervous coming to distilleries/breweries/wineries/etc. for the first time because I'm not that knowledgeable about alcohol, but I like to get an occasional drink. That nervousness was immediately dispelled by, who I presume to be, the friendly owner. Before entering, everyone must have their IDs checked. The owner asked us if it was our first time, if we like booze, provided a quick synopsis of what they offer, and whether we'd like to be seated at the bar or at the tables. We choose the tables where there were fairy lights and one of those instagramable vine walls. The bar is also really nice, but has a more mature vibe (lol). The owner occasionally came around to check up on all of the guests. We ordered 4 drinks: Bing-Bong, Lemon Actually, Preston's Fedora, and Tia Widdit. Out of the 4, we liked Lemon Actually and Preston's Fedora the best. Will definitely be coming back! read more

This place used to be AMAZING! The drinks tasted great and were a good price. Now, they cost more and have no taste. Drinks that used to be my favorite I just can't even drink anymore. I'm trying to like them, but I seriously just can't.... I'm very sad about it too. This was one of my favorite go-to places and now I don't think I will be returning anytime soon. Sad.... read more

This place is awesome! They have a large and impressive selection of drinks with all their own liquors. I tried some of my friends' and honestly there wasn't one I didn't like. I went on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too crowded. About 6 of us were able to sit by the bar. It's a nice casual place to enjoy the company of your friends while sipping on some well made drinks! read more

This place has amazing craft cocktails in an amazing setting. It was so crowded when we got there, that it was valet only (free) but the service didnt suffer at all. My husband and I both had a drink within 15 minutes and they were both so tasty. If you dont like to drink on an empty stomach, they frequently have food trucks in (we had the flying pie guy). They are kid and dog friendly, too. Pro tip: the building close to the road sells booze, the barn building behind it is beer only. I knocked off half a star because I personally thought the music (at least outside) could've been quieter and another 1/2 star because at the price point of these drinks I would've liked mine to be a bit stronger. read more

Best place to grab a cocktail! You can spend a nice afternoon in a 3 block area with the StillHouse, brewery, and delicious orchards down the road (not affiliated with each other) The drinks here are amazing and change seasonally. The bartenders are excellent and more than happy to converse with you at the bar. They do have 2 TVs which are usually playing movies. The front has an outdoor porch on each side and the back has a nice sitting area. There are food trucks in the parking lot sometimes or they do have a menu from a local pizza place that will deliver. Cocktails are creative, delicious , and reasonable priced. They do get busy during Fall so there may be a wait. Be kind to the door man, Beef!!! =) He's a great dude. read more

COLTS NECK: Brie was there for the grand opening of NJ's newest distillery: Colts Neck StillHouse! Dogs are allowed at the back outdoor patio where there are two fire pit tables! Nothing like a bourbon and fire pit to keep you warm this winter! They have a large cocktail list and you can also drink their homemade liquors neat. We had the Pickle Rick and Thornton Melon. Next time we want to try the BBC, which is a "butter beer variation" for all you Harry Potter fans! We recommend going with two people, so one person can go inside to order and the other hangs outside with the pups. read more

Amazing food and ambience. Drinks are excellent . Not too pricey. Go and enjoy! You won't be disappointed.

The staff was really rad and the drinks were tasty. I had the Pickle Rick and was told I had to eat the cucumber. They weren't wrong, it had lots of alcohol absorbed in it. I also tried the Lunch Lady being that I love Bloody Mary's. This had a different taste to it as they used roasted tomato juice! Lastly, I ordered the Lemon Actually. Which could be dangerous being that it went down too smooth! There is also a brewery right next door, however, we weren't able to hop in at the time. read more

I absolutely love this place! It's become my girlfriends and mine favorite hang out spot. We either see what food trucks are coming that day or get take out to bring. Every season they come out with a new menu which I ALWAYS look forward to trying it all! There are a few staple drinks though for the less adventurous. The bartenders are amazing. You feel very at home. They outdoor areas are so cute with firepits. The indoor area by the bar is small but there is a big side room. Highly recommend not only is it one of the only distilleries in the area BUT the people and drinks are perfect. There's something for everyone read more

I was there for a friend's 30th birthday. Try their spicy Bloody Mary! You won't be disappointed. A little pricey for the area but I understand re: inflation.

This is a cool place. I love the vibe more than anything else. They have lots of outdoor seating. As it's getting cooler they have heaters and you can light a fire at the table to stay warm.

Came here tonight (Saturday) at 9:22 and was greeted at the door by the "bouncer" who said "Sorry we're done for the night" They close at 10 according to their website wouldn't let us in for a drink. BUH BYE! And we always buy their products no longer will we purchase Muckleye read more

Took a slight detour on the way back from a family trip to try this place. Great first impression as it looks like someone dumped a lot of money into this place. Seems Corporate owned instead of master distiller owned as you can smell the money without the heart of distilling a good spirit. Sure the bartenders were busy but had a few seconds to explain the set up. No Tours because of Covid19. Basic samples had to be tasted out on the patio. The reason I'm knocking off a couple of stars because was almost run over by a Pizza Delivery guy coming in. With the space they have a small appetizer kitchen could be set up for wings or pretzels. All bottles sold are the same size sold at average distillery high prices. I would personally like to see smaller flask bottle size options because it would keep me coming back more often to try different spirits then buy the large bottle of ones I would enjoy instead of buying a full size bottle that sits on the shelf. Now my opinion of the spirits: White Rum - taste like moonshine, just burns going down no distinct flavor. Maybe that's why I saw so much juice added the the drinks at people hanging out on the patios. Rye Whisky - Same as the Rum burned going down but at least with a distinct Rye Taste. Definitely needs a cube of ice to tone it down. I would say try some Proper Twelve Irish Whisky. Then compare with this. For me this tasted like it was aged in a corporate metal tank instead of an oak barrel because all I got was the taste of the ingredients and not a nutty oaky smooth flavor from a barrel. read more

I see what they're going for and it's great but the execution needs help. The staff should be trained before they're scheduled for a weekend shift... let's start there. The bartenders are so young and so green that they appear to freeze under pressure. When you're paying over $15 per drink and waiting over 30 minutes to get acknowledged that's not really cutting it. We got seats at the bar maybe 20 minutes before we decided to flag down the bartender. Ended up not even getting what we ordered and tried to start a tab but we were charged right away because the bartender accidentally closed it. It was his second day, but is that the smartest scheduling to put him on shift on a Saturday in the fall? Seems like someone had a vision without any restaurant/bar experience and was too cheap to hire a manager. read more

Ok, so we looked for this place with this name, it didn't exist. It's called Muckley Eye Distillery, same location. Fantastic place! Indoor and outdoor seating, brewery across the parking lot and Delicious Orchards next door. Can't get any better than that for locations. The cocktails were delicious, bartenders were fun and the environment was friendly. You will have fun here. They have a very tasty single malt whiskey we had to buy a bottle of. We tried various different cocktails so I can't remember them all, but, they were good!! read more

Super friendly folks, creative cocktails, and a relaxed atmosphere. I especially enjoy their bourbon drinks - the side piece and the stillhouse. My friends and I usually visit both the stillhouse and the brewery and it's always a great time. There has been a food truck on most of my visits. Absolutely worth a trip, especially on a nice day. read more

Being local, I've been to CN Stillhouse plenty of times & have really enjoyed it! The Muckleyeye spirits they make there are very good, especially when mixed in the unique craft cocktails accented with varied, fresh shrubs (ingredients) they source locally (mainly from Delicious Orchards 2 doors away). I myself prefer the Port Cask Finished Straight Bourbon Whiskey straight up over ice! Kind of neat, that they serve all of their spirits straight up or serve them with a large hand-cut ice cube which appropriately chills the spirit while not watering it down too quickly which can happen with crushed ice or even regular cubes. Colts Neck Stillhouse is not necessarily for large groups (especially if you go at popular times), or for families with small children. Both are welcome there, but better during off hours. But, if you are looking to taste some locally crafted Delicious spirits with 1 - 4 or 5 other friends, then Colts Neck Stillhouse is a MUST TRY!! read more
