We headed to Firefly Distillery for the Taste of New England and I was so impressed by the entire experience. The distillery itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a rustic and charming feel, plenty of parking, and a layout that makes it the perfect place to host an event. Even though all the vendors and some food trucks were unable to make it because of the snow, I still had the chance to enjoy a delicious lobster roll and creamy lobster mac and cheese that were incredible. The flavored moonshine was a real highlight and so much fun to try, and the strawberry lemonade was perfectly refreshing. I loved the cute little photo opp signs and all the fun swag. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the whole visit a warm and enjoyable experience. Scotty C, this would be the perfect spot to host a Yelp event or any special gathering for that matter! I am already planning to come back for a tour next time. The distillery itself is just stunning and there is so much to explore. Everything from the beautiful setting to the delicious drinks and food, to the friendly staff, makes Firefly Distillery a must-visit destination. read more

Very disappointed. Firefly Distillery advertised a Mother's Day event from 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm. This was verified again the night before the event, when I put in the address for the next day. My mother and I showed up at 12:15 pm for a fun, intentional afternoon out only to discover the gates closed and a plethora of cars coming in and turning around (like we did). I went online and there was no update, no indication as they why they apparently cancelled the event. It had simply disappeared from the page. I had been looking forward to learning more about the distillery but now I will never plan on an event at this location again, and honestly, not interested in wasting time coming for any other reason. Have the professionalism to at least update the event cancellation information. In the short time we were there, at least 20 cars came in and turned around. This had real impact on people. read more

No events going on when we went but we were looking forward to do the tasting. The potholes leading to the distillery was a road at some point and I doubt the County will ever pave it so be prepared for a bumpy ride, our designated driver was good at it and we were giving her a hard time about almost needing a four wheel or a rental car. Plenty of parking, there was only one other couple on their way out when we got in the building, you walk in to the gift shop where they have a ton of merchandise. Don't miss the history room on the right, very informative place about the process and how the business started by a family We paid 10 each for the tasting of more than a dozen kinds of vodka, they must have a chemist to come up with so many different flavors, my favorites were the coconut and the peach, they only give you about a quarter of an ounce each My friends bought a bottle of Peach for me and I got another of sweet tea, for those of you that don't know Summerville is the World Capital of Sweet Tea regardless what other southerners will say After the tour we purchase even more stuff in the gift shop Will go back with outoftowners read more

Pet friendly to be outside only! As long as its a nice day could be fun bringing your pet- of course ON LEASH-and hanging out. Grab a drink (they have plenty good ones). Enjoy all the property they have there. They make a ton of liquors ranging from moonshine to whiskey to vodka and more. They do sometimes have food trucks and they also do festivals and concerts there. The one thing I don't love is there hours, they are closed a lot and even when online hours show open we have went with it being closed. I always try and call before going. read more

I appreciate the venue being available for a variety of acts. They have applied the bare minimum to the venue and ambiance though. It's essentially a big lot with little grace. No tents/shade, porta-potties, & buggy. There is such potential to make this a venue with thought. If you go remember your sunscreen, sunglasses, bug spray, lawn chairs, & blanket. I have never had food here but had a spicy margaritas. It was ok but tasted light and sweet instead of spicy. They have NA options as well. The bar tender was rude when I asked for salt (twice). read more

This is a nice distillery. They have plenty of outdoor space and inside is large too. They have a store in the front entrance. Also, they have food trucks, and when we came, there was a craft show with vendor tents. In the back area, I ordered the apple strudel drink, which was delicious. It tasted like a liquidfied apple strudel. My 2nd drink was so so. It was the Firefly Old Fashioned. It was wayyyyyy to heavy on the whiskey. It's definitely worth visiting, though. read more

I've frequented firefly before but never done the liquor tasting! I enjoyed my time learning about liquor of the distillery with great details from my guide ! She was knowledgeable and fun! Some of the liquor I didn't like and she was able to substitute for better flavors . The pina colada slushie was good! Lots of room inside and out! Definitely will be back soon. read more

My coworker recommended I check out Firefly Distillery, and it was a great recommendation! I've never been to a distillery before, so seeing the process was very cool. My friends and I did the tasting event, where we tried different samples of the liquor they sell. Most of it was very strong, with samples including different moonshine, vodka, and whiskey flavors! My favorite was the Firefly sweet tea whiskey, which was easy to drink for me since I like sweeter drinks. The experience itself was very fun, and the host of the event did a great job keeping us entertained while explaining the background of each drink sample to us. The tasting event itself is like a big group event, so you will be in a room with other people, but you'll still have your separate sections per group. After the tasting event, we tried the cocktails at the bar and they were very delicious and strong! Luckily they have an outdoor area, and at the time we were outside there also was live music. We sat around until we were good to drive back, drink responsibly because the liquor was very strong!! Overall, the experience was fun and I'd recommend trying it out if you're visiting the Charleston area! read more

Great venue. Space for everyone. It's a place you can feel safe at going to, during and from. Parking is limited. But there are places along the road if you don't get there early enough to park on their free lot. Now the businesses that surround the distillery charge to park. And it's PRICEY! Concert ticket prices... $60 to park is a lot so come early... Get some parking. Grab some grub and settle in for a good time with gii eats and drinks. If you're lucky you'll catch a breeze coming off the creek! Very handicapped friendly to boot! read more

This is an amazing space!! There is a beautiful outdoor area where you can sit and enjoy drinks. There's a lawn that is also used for events like concerts. My husband and I came for a tasting, but it was full, so we just had a cocktail instead. The park circle punch was delicious. It had fruit punch and coconut moonshine in it. It was perfectly fruity. My husband also liked his drink as well. There is a lot to see here and there's also a really nice gift shop. Everyone we talked to here was so friendly. We got to talking to the women at the gift shop who also happened to be teachers like my husband and I. Overall I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Great open air venue. There were food trucks around the outer edges of the field. The folks checking people at the gate were friendly.

"The vibe is upbeat and welcoming, with lively music that keeps the energy high all night. The decor is fun and stylish, creating the perfect backdrop for a night out with friends.

Firefly Distillery is a ball of fun! My coworkers and I did a ladies night several months ago and had the best time sampling vodkas, moonshine, and whiskey. There's a great storefront as well plus plenty of spirits in stock to get some to-go or gift for others. I love the field area as well, during the summer they host concerts and festivals. The tasting is a superb group bonding activity plus there's a bar area too if you want to enjoy a drink in a lowkey atmosphere. Through the Explore CHS Advent calendar, had to share this nugget of info! Get $10 off a Firefly tasting of six of our spirits with promo code ADVENT. Tastings are held every half hour on Monday-Friday from 12:00pm - 5:00pm and can be booked on our website using the promo code ADVENT. Promo code is valid until 12/31/23. read more

Go now and do the tasting! My husband and I have never been to a tasting where we liked EVERYTHING! We got two tastings and therefore tried everything offered. If you buy 6 bottles, you also get a discount. So of course we bought six. Went on a Saturday and the food truck + live music was a big plus. Would have loved to have tried the cocktails as they sounded ah-mazing but we were feeling a bit too buzzed to give them a go. read more

Attended the Young the Giant show last Friday night at Firefly. Highly, highly recommend the venue. Seamless experience... easy in, easy out. Stage and vendor set up allowed for great flow and ample space to enjoy the show. Friendly staff. Sound system was excellent !! Don't know if that was down to the venue or the band, but it was noticeably better than many others. Only recommendation would be for the parking lot staff to direct the flow of pedestrians as well as traffic across the main drives (after the show). Will definitely keep Firefly on my radar for upcoming shows !! read more

This place has a lot of cool activities so make sure to check their schedule if you're really wanting a cool experience. We just went to pass time, not knowing about their vast event calendar. Such a cool place. Very clean. All the staff is super friendly. We did a taste tour, which I highly recommend. We ran out've time to stay for drinks but will definitely go back if I'm ever in the area again. read more

Enjoyed the tasting which includes 6 pours of assorted whiskey, moonshine or vodkas. The tour guide was friendly and the price per tasting $13.00 per person.

Great way to spend an hour or 2! Nice little tourist stop, a place to grab a bite to eat if you're a local. If you've never had firefly sweet tea vodka, it is worth a try and available in most grocery stores on the east coast. Their signature flavor tastes like it sounds: Southern Sweet tea but has a vodka kick. It's low enough proof (30ish?) You can drink on the rocks as if it was a strong cocktail by itself. $13 get you 6 samples out of 12 liquor varieties, plus a clean unused souvenir shot glass to take home. They gave me 10% military discount on the samples, as well as the whole bottles of liquor! The gift shop had interesting stuff including their own rum cake. And has a large outdoor venue and I think they have concerts about every month or so. If you ever in the North Charleston area, it is well worth the stop. read more

One word, wow. This has to be one of my favorite places! Wasn't sure what to expect as we ventured down the long dirt road, but to our surprise a huge welcoming venue with lots of parking! We did a tasting for $13, was well worth it for a unique tasting that includes a shot glass, 6 shots and lots of humor and history! The cocktail selection is amazing, bartenders super friendly and live music plus a food truck. Corn hole boards, and space outside to chill added to the experience. There was not much seating inside or outside by the food truck, but a bunch of tables in the front outside. The liquors were all amazing and truly unique, it was hard to choose which ones to purchase! Loved the vibe and the store with lots of things for sale. Only complaints were the large birthday or bachelorette parties who were absolutely obnoxious and rude! This place is a MUST try when in Charleston! read more

What a fun afternoon!! Highly recommend this event to anyone looking for a fun atmosphere and delicious oysters!! Grateful that they had indoor/ outdoor shucking stations. Although I don't believe they were anticipating the amount of people that came out with the weather service needed up being a bit slow on the refills. The drinks were strong and tasty.. the oysters were hot and steamy and the music was on point!! Can't wait to come back and do a whiskey tasting the next time I'm here! - visiting from California :0) read more

A wonderful tasting at this distillery. All the staff were courteous, our tasting pourer was knowledgeable. Great southern mentality where you get to have the tasting before paying.

This review is specific to the event space. This is quickly becoming one of the best outdoor concert venues in the Tri-county. You will not get a better experience for an outdoor show. 1. Great acoustics. 2. Great live music vibe. 3. Food trucks. 4. Plenty of outdoor restroom options. 5. Free parking. 6. Always a well trained staff prepared for the crowded. 7. Chill environment to lounge out or dance. This is a solid!!!! venue!!!!! read more

Really cool place! I've loved Firefly since on Wadmalaw Island. Today is our first time visiting the new location. It's lovely. Tasting room, large bar, beautiful outdoor space, and great retail options. Great afternoon with friends! I had the Rum Rita. I didn't care for it. I tried all three other drinks my friends had and all were great. - the OG, Java Colada, and Strawberry Colada, and all were great!! Enjoyed cornhole with our friends read more

Writing this from an experience way long ago but can't believe I forgot to report back! The spirits tasting was so much fun because it was casual and the bartender was so nice. They made the experience a lot of fun. The spirits were unique and tasty. We even bought some to go. There were a lot of liquors I didn't realize Firefly even made. The space is airy, a little industrial but also modern. There were some other large rooms I imagine would be great for events. I hope to make a return visit next time we're in the area. read more

Stopped in here for a flight mid day and was very impressed with the variety and quality of spirits. We tasted the lemonade and sweet tea vodkas, apple pie moonshine and the Bend and Steel whiskey. Service was excellent and we ended up going home with the whiskey and moonshine, although all were delicious. The grounds and facility itself are large, welcoming and there was plenty of parking. The outdoor portion is dog friendly, and there is a large gift shop. The ambience was good and the music wasn't too loud that you couldn't have a conversation. Overall I'd recommend checking them out. read more

I really enjoyed firefly! I didn't get to experience everything they had to offer but I'll be back! They offer tours and I'd love to take one. Im not sure if they serve food there but they did have a food truck! I went during an outdoor event so I'm not sure about their daily operations. It's so spacious and beautiful there with a huge field! I see why they hold concerts here! The service is great, I had questions about the tour and the ladies in the store were able to answer all of them! I also ordered the blue bird cocktail while I was there and it is very refreshing and tastes like summer! My only question was about the plastic cups. I think they are cool for a souvenir but do they come with each drink? I'm a little concerned with the idea of all that plastic going in the trash. I was there for an event so I'm not sure if that's their normal cups. Great place, great experience! read more

I probably should have written this BEFORE the 6 mini shot tasting...because after an array of coconut cake moonshine, lemonade vodka, coffee flavored rum, and bourbon...I am struggling to put my words together.

They usually have a food truck or 2 on the premises. They host various events throughout the year, including concerts. read more

I've been visiting Firefly for years. Began at the Wadmalaw location and now here at it's new location. I have celebrated many birthdays at both locations and introduced many friends to all they have to offer. I love the people who make all the action happen. Whether you're in the gift shop, your the facilities, or enjoying a tasting, it's the people working there that make your experience rememberable. They treat you like family. They are knowledgeable about their products and you can feel there passion when they are telling the history. Firefly is always hosting an event. I've come for blood drives, concerts, food truck events, and many other happenings. It's never a dull time at Firefly. Why? Because they keep you lit! Literally! read more

What a great experience! For only $10 you can try 6 different drinks: vodka/rum/whiskey/bourbon. If you're with a partner then you can try 12 different items if you each pick a different one. At the end you get a souvenir shot glass. We ended up with a little buzz so we bought some snacks and sat out on the porch and watched the rain. There's plenty of green space for dogs and corn hole, etc. The staff was friendly and there's lots of cool merchandise in the gift shop. We ended up buying a bottle of the lemonade vodka which was so sour yet so delicious. This vodka tasting and the Charleston Tea Farm tour were the top two experiences of my visit and I will definitely return next time I'm in town. read more
