I went before and after sunset, and something felt extra cozy about going there when the sun was down and the mood lighting was on. This is the perfect place to take a date, a friend, or a group! To order a drink, you have to order at the bar and then seat yourself. The bartenders work quickly, but I imagine there might be longer lines at certain hours. The drinks themselves were well-made and I also love that you can buy the books displayed there! Really fun concept, would recommend.

The main room with the tables and booths had one DJ and then different music in the back room and then there's an outdoor area you can hang at. Bartenders were chill. Second time we went there was barely anyone so we just got a drink and then left. I would still come here again though because it was a blast the first time. Especially if you love to dance with your girls.

Lots of outside seating but I was truly taken aback by how gorgeous it was inside. My experience was made even better by the owner and how he handled an unruly man that was screaming threats and profanities at us from across the parking lot. This man was not a patron of the bar and seemed to be on drugs and homeless. The bar owner very tactfully and politely handled the situation by giving this man many chances to remove himself from the property before calling police, which he eventually did. I appreciated how he protected his customers without allowing the situation to get out of hand and resorting to violence. 5 stars, man.

I had the frozen orange slushy cocktail that tasted like a boozy orange dreamsicle. This place was very laid back with friendly bartenders and patrons but as the sign says it ain't no country club!

Every corner is styled like its own unique vintage living room, with incredible attention paid to every single design element. Definitely take a lap around the entire space to soak in the full vibe! Do yourself a favor and check out their merch while you're at it; it's top-notch. The bar staff was incredibly welcoming and mixed up some phenomenal drinks. Both "The Death Becomes Her" and "He Likes To Call Me Peaches" were fantastic. They also have a massive events area and were promoting a ton of cool stuff--including a live dating show where people pitch their friends to potential dates! This was my first visit, but it certainly won't be my last.

After years of Dalton Distillery being open, I finally made it a point to go try it out for a…read morepre-dinner drink. When I entered the establishment I was wowed at how cool the space is, I had no idea and honestly didn't have high expectations. The bar is decorated really cool with geometric wall designs and a giant hexagonal opening leading from one room to the other. Dalton Distillery also has Ping-Pong, a pool table, and video games. I had no idea. As I walked in, I was immediately curious as to how this place isn't more popular. There is plenty of seating with lots of chairs and a few couches. The Distillery is decorated with some cool furniture too and has some colorful graffiti murals. I am a very visual person and this place was surprisingly awesome inside. I'd love to come back with a group of friends for some Ping-pong and pool games! I was very happy to hear that my bourbon and gingers were only $4, a great deal that is a rarity in/near downtown Asheville. My friend ordered some of their housemade rum in a cocktail that neither of us enjoyed, but they have a pretty good beer selection so he left happy anyway. Overall this place was great and I can't wait to check it out again. I had to give Dalton Distillery 4 stars rather than 5 because the bartender was very unfriendly. I asked him many questions about the rum. I was very interested considering that they are a distillery and that is what they make, but he seemed annoyed by my questions and barely answered them. He talked to me in a way that was very arrogant and dismissive. I'd like to hope that next time I go in there is a different bartender or he has a better demeanor. Servers and bartenders play the role of being the face/representative of an establishment and for my first experience being here, there was not a good representation.
