Just an absolute fantastic place to grab a drink, play a few games and relax. Outside (too hot today) has an absolutely wonderful view of Lake Michigan and far enough up the hill to not see/hear the traffic. So cool to just walk around and check things out. Oh, by the way, the drinks are GREAT! We tried a couple varieties, with different liquors and all were good. We ended up buying a bottle of gin. It was mid-afternoon on a Monday so not crowded whatsoever so just got served right away. Bartenders were nice and gave nice recommendations based on what liquors we like. read more

Grounds and building are beautiful. Only came here to check it out briefly. We were not able to take a tour. Looks like it has good potential but a little bare on the inside for entertainment. A couple dart boards, pool table and a single shuffleboard table. Bartenders were prompt and polite. Not sure about food as we didn't order any. Appears to be a limited menu. They seem to have an event venue on the property for weddings and parties. read more

Chris , Daniel, and Mike were awesome and made our girls night memorable. Chris made an incredible espresso drink that hit the spot for my friends. We left with bottles of our favorites and blood orange gin clean cocktails to go! I recommend to anyone to check this place out.... Fun for families too. read more

We double lucked out on this find...happened to be in the area for a mac and cheese cookoff and we were not disappointed. It was a super rainy day and really dampened our skiing situation, but we made the most of it and found this place. Not only did we sample 10+ mac & cheese options, but we also washed it down with several delicious drinks from the bar. Truly a beautiful place, great venue for weddings and receptions. There are also dart boards, pool tables, table shuffleboard...lots to do with friends for a different feel to just sitting at a bar. This place is worth a visit and has so much to offer read more

Service was great! Extremely helpful and happy! The food from Libe Lula was excellent! I got the Cajun smash burger. Might very well be the best smash burger I have ever had. My husband got the bowl and it was freaking delicious! The facility is awesome! Great nod to the beginnings of the grounds - so pretty and so very clean! I am in love with every aspect of the place. The cocktails definitely let me know I will be retuning and bringing as many of my friends as possible! read more

Gypsy Distillery - Distilleries Near Me - Petoskey, Michigan

We ended up at gypsy distillery accidentally looking for the Libe lulu Mexican restaurant and realized they were in the same location. We had excellent service, excellent spirits and a fun time sitting at the bar and tasting! My husband had a fight of 4 tastings and bought a bottle of one of them. The tasting price was subtracted from the bottle price! I had my usual gin and tonic and loved it. They distill all their own spirits on the premise which is an old horse equestrian center. The place is huge and they were hosting 2 events while when we were there. It is frequently used for weddings and would be a great wedding venue. They had 2 food venders onsite, one was more of a sliders type thing and we ordered from libe lulu Mexican and we loved the shrimp appetizer wrapped in bacon and fried pickles and taco. Highly recommend this place read more

Great visit!! Owner and staff were the best!! Every spirit we tasted was unique and very flavorful!!!" Ambiance first class! Lots to do and very well appointed. It was originally a beautiful equestrian center. Olivia and Brittany are awesome! read more

This quaint little distillery was a perfect spot for a warm sunny day! They had the garage doors open and music playing. They distill their liquor at another spot but carry and sell it there. I love espresso Martinis and I love old fashioneds. When I saw an espresso old fashioned on the menu it really piqued my interest. Omg. It was absolutely ridiculously good!! I'm hoping to duplicate it. I would go back just for that! The bartenders were great and very helpful. After all this alcohol it was time for an afternoon nap! read more

Gypsy Distillery - Espresso Old Fashioned. Simply delightful! - Distilleries Near Me - Petoskey, Michigan

New gem in Petoskey! Very family friendly as it lends itself to accommodate large groups and no reservations. Food is outstanding! There are 2 options sliders or tacos with tons of options of each. We went with a group of 17 were able to get tables and drinks right away and then order food with a short wait. Love that there is room for the kids to wander and not be stuck at a table waiting for food. EVERY SINGLE THING WE ORDERED WAS DELICIOUS! The space is adorable and trendy atmosphere and all the staff are so excited to be there! This place is also so great if you want to have more of an adult night not for drinks and listen to a band. Overall I give this place a 10/10. read more

My wife and I stopped into Gypsy Cocktail Bar on our first night in Potosi and really enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere was lively and fun, with a slightly younger crowd than us, but everyone was welcoming and friendly. Our server was great--helpful and knowledgeable in recommending cocktails we both ended up loving. The live music was a highlight; the guitarist playing that Friday night was truly exceptional. We liked it so much, we returned the following evening and had another pleasant visit, this time at a table instead of the bar. One suggestion: it would be great if they offered some small bites or charcuterie to accompany the drinks. All in all, a great spot to kick off a night out in town. read more

This is a huge, beautiful venue. They do gin, rum, and vodka. Being Michigan and this time of year there were many cherry flavors which I loved! We went late in the day and had to go up to the bar for drinks (not sure if it's always that way) but the bartenders were friendly and speedy. You can tell it must be very busy at times- lots of space and parking and they even have a helipad! read more

An absolute must stop in the petoskey area! The high fives company has taken an old equestrian barn, and completely transformed it into a 42,000 ft distillery and tasting room. There's an amazing bar area in the front, complete with a lounge area and pool/darts. Wanting some sunshine? There's a porch area with seating and games for beautiful views of the bay. The crown gem in the HUGE open seating area. The staff is super helpful, and can make you one of their custom cocktails, or one of your choosing. Hungry? Don't worry. There's two food options, Dusty's and Libe Lula. We opted for libe- and I will be talking about the food for hours. SO good. Great atmosphere, and even better drinks. A crown gem in the petoskey area! read more

To be fair, we were there with a private group. I loved the space we used. Growing up I always wanted to go to this equestrian center. But it was sold and turned into a distillery. It's really cool inside. Massive. Hope you love the area as much as I did read more

Great space! Pool table, corn hole, different food "truck" options. Love the live music! 10/10

Great views. Drinks (I tried Knockout Punch, my wife tried Pear Blossom) were outstanding. Family-friendly atmosphere with plenty for kiddos to keep entertained. Service at food options (Fresh Coast Sliders and Libe Lula) and at bar was warm and inviting. Food at both options was delicious. Definitely worth the drive and stop if you're visiting or heading through Petoskey. read more

We stopped here on a mini brewery/distillery crawl when staying with friends in Harbor Springs. The grounds are really impressive with a view of the water and lots of outdoor seating. The interior is massive and very spaced out! We loved the amount of games (pool, darts, cornhole, shuffleboard, etc.) and the live music. Food is ordered at a separate window and we had sliders, sweet potato fries, a specialty hot dog, mini corn dogs, and all were great! While sitting at the bar we were not greeted/acknowledged, given menus, nothing. After sitting at the bar waiting for service for 5 minutes we decided to get into the walk-up drink line. The drink line took over 30 minutes and was very unorganized. Our friends went to sit down and I watched the young woman at the bar make our drinks and I was not impressed. Not to mention, I still did not receive any friendliness from the staff. I wanted to love this place because the vodka is so damn delicious but we most likely won't be back. There are so many better options when visiting this area. read more

Annoying music , bartender was more interested in her phone than customers. Food was great !! Owner brings his dog in when dogs are not allowed. Not a good example. Drinks were excellent.. service not so much. Atmosphere, super cool. read more

Great, relaxed vibes with a ton of different seating options inside or outside! Friendly, knowledgeable bartenders! The kids loved the games indoors and appreciated the little water station. My mocktails were perfect and everyone in our large group greatly enjoyed their cocktails! read more

Gorgeous facility but neither my husband nor I enjoyed the drinks we ordered: old fashioned and a lavender gin cocktail. Disappointing!

Holy cow what an amazing unexpected experience. We Just passed by on Derby Day and stopped in on a whim for a tasting. Ended up staying for the derby. Had a great snack from the bar, drinks and watched the derby. Lo and behold we were actually sitting next to the owner's father who was SUPER friendly and informative. Couldn't recommend this place more highly. Thanks John for a great experience. Your family has an outstanding and beautiful place with awesome servers. Stop by for a great time! read more

This is such great place to go. The atmosphere is really lovely. It used to be a horse arena. It has been beautifully converted to bar and entertainment space. They have a couple of food 'trucks' inside. My husband is really glad they added beer and wine to the bar. There is a pool table, shuffle board, darts and a wide open area with corn hole games. Good place for adults and kids. read more

Service was awesome! The wife and I stopped in to check it out. Beautiful setting and the spirits were great! Highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

The cocktails were absolutely delicious! Had the Carmel apple Martini. It was so good I bought two bottles of apple vodka. The place was really cool. Parking is a little bit of a walk especially after having a couple cocktails. Definitely would go again. read more

The concept is great, but the food took over an hour... We inquired after 40 minutes and were told we were next up. It still took over 20 more minutes. read more

Best new place to open this year in Northern Michigan, hands down. Cocktails are excellent, the atmosphere is even better. Sit inside or out. Inside they have darts, pool and corn hole. We've tried both food trucks and they are both out of this world. Bay Harbor area needed a place like this, we will be back for sure. read more

Great atmosphere! Bar tenders are knowledgeable and engaging! The drinks are creative and delicious

My experience with this place was so negative that I felt compelled to share with others on Yelp. My wife and I spend a lot of time in the Petoskey area but since we do not drink we never cared to visit Gypsy Distillery. Today we decided to stop by and see if this is a place that we should recommend to visiting friends and family. We had our two Mini Australian Shepherds with us who are extremely well behaved. Before I enter the facility I looked for any sign that would indicate if dogs were not allowed. As we took a couple steps inside a gentleman behind the bar screamed at us "dogs cannot be in here"! He could certainly have offered us to order a drink and enjoy the weather outside on the patio with our dogs instead of being unprofessional and rude. My advice to this establishment is to post a sign that dogs are not allowed and hire courteous and professional employees to interact with your customers. read more
