    A rainy day is a great day for tasting alcohol! So we came to Indusrty City and checked out The Fort Hamilton Distillery. Its a very large space with a good amount of seating and pool tables. The bar is smaller than I was expecting but it has a glass wall behind so you can see into the actually distillery. After the tasting I think Im a Bourbon sipper and A Rye mixer. Big surprise their gin is good...to me, lol. I have never liked gin before so thats saying something. The staff was of course knowledge and made me a very tasty old fashion. So much so I bought all the ingredients lol!! Also the boozy affragato Another reason to come to industry city!

    This feels like a secret hide out that's far enough away from the maddening crowds to avoid being too busy or impersonal, but also serves up high quality crafted spirits in local taste. The double barrel rye and gin are top of my list, and they have a great menu of cocktails to help you get inventive and flavorful with both of them. They also have a few nice mocktails for the no-alcohol crowd looking to keep things classy without the tipsy. I also love the hang out space with pool tables and big cozy sofa and papasan chair- just a nice overall hangout space to gather with friends.

    Place is small but cute. Located in industry city. I thoroughly enjoyed my cocktail. They make and use their own product which is really nice. The bourbon is smooth and nice on the palate. The service was good but the pours on both drinks were very un even. Even the prices were different. So, I'm not sure what to think of this. They have classes fri-Sunday which I'm super interested in. Overall really cool vibe and place. Fills up quickly though!

    Went with some friends to check out local businesses and this place was awesome! Incredible service, friendly staff, lots of space and most of all incredible drinks!!! my friends are I ended up staying for hours playing card games and laughing with staff. 10/10 would recommend anyone come try this place out!

    Late with this review, but better late than never! FHD was the location for my new employer's holiday party. They did not supply the food, but they supplied the libations, ambience and service. The drink menu is extensive and the bartenders were able to keep up and get orders out pretty quickly, while being pretty personable and fun. The distillery is pretty spacious with slightly sectioned off areas, which was very comfortable to say the least. I did not drink a lot (2 cocktails), because I just started working with this company plus I just don't overdo drinking at company functions, despite having a high tolerance for alcohol. Nonetheless, I had a Hamilton Mule, which was delicious. I would definitely revisit with friends or solo, just because I think it's a cool spot with good drinks and cool bartenders.

    My family and I had a fun time checking out this distillery, where we got to learn about the history and the making process of their delicious whiskey, which is distilled New York-style. It We ended up doing their tour, which consisted of fun facts, an awesome and yet informative tour guide, and best of all quality whiskey! They also have a little game room on the other side where you can chill and enjoy the vibes after your tour. You can also grab a drink or two at their bar. This is def a fun thing to do if you're looking to try something new.

    GOTTA Love a local distillery and this one not only has awesome liquor, but a really great ambiance and cool staff with a lot of knowledge on their products with recommendations if you don't know where to start. The entrance is on the second level of Industry City so you can get in through the courtyard staircase. I love whiskey but they also had some gin which was quite aromatic and good for a summer cocktail. I got the Maple Syrup Old Fashioned which was just perfect. NOT sweet which was exactly what I wanted- just a HINT of maple. really delicious. There's a saloon right across the hall with pool tables and LOTs of other great local businesses in the area so you can come for drinks and food and fun! I'm a fan of Rye and theirs was good too so definitely worth going to for a few drinks on weekends or even weekdays!

    I've come here several times in the past including my Birthday the past two years and have had a whiskeylicious time every time! In the past two years they have expanded their space and now have a Pool Table and a corny situation with Corn Hole as well. The Whiskey is fantastic with my favorites being the Bourbon and Cask Strength Rye. They also make a Maple Bourbon Syrup which is amazing to put on Waffles! The service is always spot on as for our last visit Haley did our tasting and was lovely. Always a fun vibe when visiting! It's a trek for me to come out but I always love stopping by!

The vibes are classy with an entire wall of bottles lit up for a nice ambiance. Since we had our pup with us, we sat in the patio. I ordered the Rye Tea Punch ($16) while the boyfriend got the 10 Year Old Fashioned ($16). It was so cute how my drink came in a little clear teacup, which was a nice touch. The only thing that was disappointing was the slow service. We had asked for the check, but it never came around after waiting 15 minutes. We had reservations to get to, so the delay was annoying. I ended up walking up to the bartender to close out the tab since we never got our check.

I remember liking their drinks, but I never stopped back in, as I don't go out to drink too often. More recently, I was here a few months ago with a large group for their Sunday Roast. The staff were friendly and gave us good service, even though the place was crowded, and there was some loud but pleasant live music playing in the background. Of course, a bunch of us got cocktails. I went with their signature Irish Coffee, as I thought the Alexander one, based on a Brandy Alexander, would be a little bit too sweet. Said drink was $17 and had Teeling Small Batch Irish whiskey, Andytown coffee, Demerara, freshly whipped cream, and nutmeg. As can be seen in the hundreds, or rather thousands, of other reviews, their Irish coffee is excellent. It's not too sweet or too bitter, with enough whiskey for just a tiny kick of alcohol, along with a hit of spice. Another person loved the $20 Frozen version with the same whiskey, along with Mr. Black coffee liqueur, cold brew coffee, cane sugar, and cream, and I believe someone else got the fancier Alexander version for $21. Outside of their coffees, there was a mix of other cocktails, including the Doctor's Orders for $21, with Wild Turkey 101 bourbon, Laird's apple brandy, cinnamon, allspice, grapefruit, and lime. I remember trying it as I gave the other person a sip of my drink and enjoying it. The majority of us went with the same $44 Sunday Roast as our main dish. This consisted of a roasted sirloin of beef, bread stuffing, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese gratin, roasted vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, beef gravy, and horseradish cream. The beef was cooked to my requested temperature, and only a small portion of fat wasn't rendered down properly. However, this wasn't the case for others, with one person's steak in particular having a lot of fat. I partially blame this on the sheer number of orders, but that was unfortunate. The roasted vegetables consisted of carrots and broccoli, and they had a nice char, along with the potatoes. The stuffing was standard, and I liked the unique gratin in particular, as it added an extra texture and saltiness to the dish. The gravy it came with was nice, with some richness and a good beefy flavor, which paired nicely with the Yorkshire pudding and the vegetables. Lastly, I used a small bit of the horseradish, which helped cut the richness. Overall, it was good, but if I had one of the other people's plates, I might have liked it a bit less. This is a tasty place with particularly good cocktails. They have thousands of good reviews for a very good reason. Good luck in DC and Austin as well.

They've only got two bocce lanes, so just a heads up, if it's a busier night or you're going during peak hours, you might be waiting a bit. But on normal weeknights, it's totally doable to walk in, grab a drink, and play without any stress. It's very laid-back in the best way. Downstairs, they host comedy shows and other performances, which makes it such a fun multipurpose hangout. People usually grab a drink and chill upstairs while waiting for their show to start, and it creates this really nice, social energy without feeling chaotic. Overall, Union Hall is a quaint neighborhood staple, great drinks, fun games, and a little bit of that old-school local charm. Perfect for a casual night out or something a little different from the usual bar scene.
