Here's a natural English Yelp review translation:…read more I had a very relaxing and safe experience at this bar. The interior is bright, clean, and beautifully maintained. I'm actually not a big fan of whiskey or strong drinks, but I still really enjoyed sitting at the counter, listening to music, and watching the bartenders at work--it was very calming. The parking situation was a bit of a challenge, but I suppose that also helps keep the place from getting too crowded, which makes for a more comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere.

A rainy day before a Jags game led us to Manifest Distilling, and we're so glad we stopped in for a…read morecocktail. The atmosphere was great, the establishment was clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. We had the chance to try **Being Green**, one of their seasonal cocktails. It was a little sweeter than my personal preference, but still well-balanced and refreshing. We also tried their **Gold Rush**, a classic cocktail that was executed well. But what really made the experience stand out was the bartender's creativity. I usually order a **Paper Plane**--it's my go-to cocktail. They didn't carry some of the traditional ingredients, but instead of simply saying no, they created their own version using what they had. And let me tell you... **it was better than the original. Yes, I said it!** That alone made the experience memorable. A great spot for a well-crafted cocktail, especially if you appreciate creative bartenders who know how to work with their own spirits and put their own spin on a classic.

Dustin's passion for distilling a quality product and his deep knowledge showed with every question he answered, and as he explained each part of the process.

I was not really able to partake of the samples being tasted -- 'cause someone has to drive! -- but everyone else was very impressed. And we got a couple of bottles to take home. Looking forward to crackin' open the Peach Mango Tequila. Smelled like beautiful ripe fruit!

This has become one of our favorite lunch spots every time we're in town. The food is absolutely…read moredelicious and the drinks are amazing. This time was no different. We walked in around 12 o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon and was able to sit at the bar with no challenges. Bar area is open seeing if you want a table you do have to check in. I started with a handmade Italian soda the ginger one and I love this because the ginger is very pronounced. It's very crisp and light. I also got an order of their soup of the season, which was a red curry. It was absolutely delicious. Had great flavor little spice at the end of it as well. For lunch, we split the fried chicken that comes with collard greens and whole cakes. The collard greens are by far one of the best that we have ever had. They use slab bacon and they're absolutely delicious. We've literally talked about them for years and they were just as good as we remembered. Fried chicken was nice and moist and the hocakes cakes were very sweet. For drinks, I tried one of the seasonal ones which was the witches of Eastwick. The gin based drink definitely was sweet, but exactly what I was looking for. My husband got an old-fashioned because they had black walnut bitters when he was really excited about.

Long waits are common for this spot. The interior is the old Ice Plant so it has great character. Not super large so limited dining spots within. Very high ceilings and though there were plenty of diners, it was overly loud. Great spot to enjoy the company you are with! Our server was top notch, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly but not trying to monopolize our table talk. We started with Cocktails which were all great. I went classic Old Fashioned, presentation AND taste were on point. We split the Crab Beignets order of 4. The breading on them was light and fluffy, the Crab tasty and they were cooked appropriately, no burns or underdone spots. For our main course, we elected to split 2 of the specials of the day so they may not be there when you go, but judging by the quality of the specials, any dish would be great. We had the Caesar Salad (which is like calling the Queen Mary2 a "boat"!). It is next level, 7 minute eggs, homemade croutons, Anchovie forward, all good! We also split an order of Shrimp Cake Sliders. These were huge, and the slaw that accompanied was the perfect match to the shrimp without overwhelming them. For dessert we settled on the Pineapple cake which also had coconut and all kinds of wonderful flavors going on! A really outstanding meal from beginning to end!

I can't recall the name of the young lady we had unfortunately, but she was fantastic and so much fun. My family ended up buying a few bottles to take home with them. It was a nice local place to stop by and support. It had a really good vibe when you walked in. It looked like your typical local distillery room when you come on with the barrels. I don't go to St Augustine very often but if you love to get a taste of local spirits when you are visiting places I highly recommend this place.

Each time we've visited we have had wonderful experiences. Everyone is always a joy to interact with. Lexi had a large group during our first visit and then just the two of us the second time. Both times we walked out with our favorite spirits and some new ones. The peanut butter whiskey is always a staple and this one is my favorite. We now have a new addition to our must-have collection, mango datil whiskey. I dont even mix these with anything as they are incredibly smooth. Can you? Sure. But why? The spirits also change out and I'm a little sad that the cookie dough whiskey will become seasonal (that one did mix well with the peanut butter and caramel). But the new key lime pie rum was delicious and the coconut rum is another favorite. Was there anything we didn't like? I am not a fan of the roasted pecan whiskey but I can appreciate why others will enjoy it. In our tasting, Lexi swapped that one out for me so I didn't miss out. The care and joy the team has is palpable and a must stop when visiting the St Augustine area. Big fan and we now stop by multiple times each visit to sample and take home our favorites. Im excited to try the new rye whiskey on a future visit. One thing to keep in mind is that the tasting used to be free and now costs $5. Personally, I don't mind since there is a $5 coupon to use in the store that can be stacked so it becomes essentially free but it's a relatively recent change (the same applies to the nearby St Augustine Distillery and San Sebastian Winery). Do I wish that this one was still free? Of course. Will it stop me from visiting? Nope. It just breaks up my purchases so I can apply the cost each time. (And it's much better than the winery which gives you a plastic cup...nice but not really repeatable.) Overall, City Gate continues to be my favorite Distillery for flavored spirits. Thanks for always providing a great experience and product! And thank you to Lexi for being awesome!

The place is small, but the drinks really pack a punch. The owner was very nice and clearly knows how to mix a good drink. If you're in the military, I highly recommend trying this place. Just let the owner or bartender know; I won't spoil the surprise. I tried the Nutty Professor cocktail, which was absolutely delicious. It's similar to an Old Fashioned but with a unique "nutty" twist. If you're familiar with the local Kookaburra Coffee Shop, you'll definitely love the Kookaburra Coffee Martini. Sailbird makes their own coffee liqueur using beans from Kookaburra coffee, and it's fantastic. Be sure to grab a bottle!

Love visiting this location!…read more I've always made sure to make a stop here when I'm visiting St. Augustine. This last visit was no different! Inside is spacious, clean and what's really interesting is that they have informative areas that showcase the distillation process and other fun facts about the distillery! I enjoy coming for their tasting that they offer. While it use to be free of charge local businesses in the area that also had tastings started charging so that makes sense especially with the amount of visitors they get! Luckily it's only $5 dollars and you get a chance to enjoy a variety of their products. There are employees are different stations that give you information on the spirits and mixers they offer while they craft drinks for you to try. Such as a mule with their vodka, a sweet tasting drink with their crafted rum, another with gin and the final stopping point is an old fashioned! If you end up loving any of the drinks, you're able to purchase a bottle there in their gift shop. They also offer to hold any of your purchases for a later pickup time if you don't want to be holding onto your purchase if you're busy visiting and exploring the city. They also provide different paid experiences involving their whiskey. I have yet to try them out but maybe one day I'll make sure to!
