    First, let's talk about the vodka. It's one of the smoothest vodka's I've tasted. There is a slight sweet finish and minimal burn. It has turned me into a vodka drinker. Very enjoyable straight over ice, as a simple drink with club and a lime, and also a delight in any mixed drink. While at the distillery, you can also get in-house made infusions. Some flavors rotate seasonally, along with seasonal cocktails made from the flavors. Offerings include pineapple, apple, blueberry, grape, cucumber mint, strawberry basil, orange peel, pear, cantaloupe, vanilla, jalepeno, etc. New flavors are always being experimented with. Now onto the owner, Rich. You can tell he is passionate and does this with his whole heart. He is a local from Cranford and uses Jersey corn for his vodka, and when possible, uses Jersey fruit for the infusions. The tour is extremely informative; I have yet to come up with a question that he didn't have an answer for. He is quite outgoing with a great sense of humor, which rounds out visiting this distillery in a great way and keeps you coming back for more. For my third point, let's talk about the atmosphere. There is a group of regulars that frequent the distillery, and I am happy to admit I have joined this crowd. They are all amazing people that I may have never had the opportunity to meet had it not been for this gem tucked in the warehouse district of Kenilworth. The ambiance is always positive - music playing, foosball table, trivia, cards - there is something for everyone. Another positive is many restaurants deliver so you never have to go hungry. Finally, the information for you to come and visit soon. Open to the public from 3-7/8pm on Wednesday and Thursday to stop in for a cocktail or so - spectacularly priced at $5 a drink. There are plans to open a third night in the near future. In the mean time, you can call and request a private tour and tasting. Rich is happy to work with you to create your own experience. Great vodka + Great company = Great place to be!

    This review is long overdue as we have been coming here for years. The product is phenomenal (Tree City is the only vodka I really enjoy, never been a big vodka guy) and the cocktails and delicious infusions bring out its flavors without being overbearing or too sweet. Rich, the owner is a super nice guy, very knowledgeable about his craft and has a passion for sharing his process. The tasting room is always immaculate and protocols for Covid-19 are excellent, we feel very safe there. Definitely worth your time to stop by, pick up a bottle and/or have a drink before going out for dinner.

    A nice place. The staff makes you feel at home with TASTY cocktails. Everything is well priced and made to order, it's a must to check out. Always check the hours, they are limited.

    I have been dying to go to All Points West Distillery for a long time! After trying their vodka at…read morea Yelp event a few years ago I was sold. I decided to do their tour on a Saturday with a group of friends and I'm so glad we did! This place is definitely one of Newark's hidden gems! The distillery takes walk-ins but I would 100% recommend doing a pre-booked tour. Prior to your visit, buy your tour ticket on their website or Groupon. The ticket comes with a drink, a tour of the facility, tastings, and a souvenir! The owner Gil, is knowledgeable & so welcoming! He gave us an informative tour and allowed us to taste a few of his great products. If I had to choose two favorites I would go with the Malt & Grain Pot Still Whiskey and the Cathouse Pink Pepper Gin. The whiskey, gin, and vodka are all so smooth. You really can't go wrong with any choice! The bartender was amazing & gave us great conversation along with recommendations for drinks! This place is BYOF (bring your own food) so feel free to order a pizza or a light dinner from somewhere nearby! This was an awesome experience & I will definitely be back!

The Drinks range from 9.00 to 12.00 i believe. however, they are made very well and strong. Gil is very helpful with organizing private tours and small parties. you will receive tastings of whatever is currently in process. i personally hate Gin and whiskey, but i am drawn to the licorice notes in the gin and the smooth taste of the whiskey here. he has so much information about the local distillery history, the process of making liquor, and overall interesting knowledge about alcohol. tour can be 20 to 30 mins. street parking outside, and ive always been lucky to get a spot! my only complaint is how hot it is in here. ive come here in april and in july, both times i was covered in sweat.

We did a quick search, saw Jersey Spirits Distilling and decided to give it a try. I would have never known it existed since it's tucked in the back of an industrial complex. From the outside, it looks small, but it's pretty spacious inside. When we were seated, our server gave us a brief history of the distillery. I love that it's family-owned and all of the ingredients are locally sourced from NJ. There are so many different cocktail options, and some of them were so creative in their presentation. Since I was having a difficult time deciding, I went with the Espresso Martini flight. It came with a Traditional, Pistachio, and Jelly Ring martini. I also ordered a cookie butter martini. My favorite was definitely the creamy pistachio martini. I am so happy to have discovered Jersey Spirits Distilling and can't wait to visit again soon!

The night started with a tasting of their super clean and smooth white rum followed by a smokey , more full bodied dark rum. Next we had a choice of a couple different liquors where I went with a "Suisse le bleu" absinthe drink. Made half and half with seltzer and a dab of ice, the liquor miraculously turned light blue. Strong smell of licorice off the top but the taste was surprisingly light and subtle for being 140 proof (less after being mixed obviously). The ladies had a coffee liquor which was the white rum mixed with soaked in Brazilian coffee beans. The entire time conversations were flowing between Brant(master distiller), Jim (NJ homebrew club advisor and drink architect), Doug (NJ homebrew flu. President and Brant's right hand man) and our group. Next we went on the distillery tour where Brant gave us his background and a bit of history. You can tell right off the bat that his passion comes from the heart and everything done at the distillery was carefully thought out from start to finish. After the tour, we were treated to more drinks and even a rum strawberry Gelato dessert... "hard ice". All I can say is wow! So tasty and just the right amount of kick. They need to put stuff on shelves in supermarkets! Also had one of their mojitos.... Very yummy. The crew then started talking about the different stuff they have distilled or architectured, which included peepski (melted peep for sugar base) and hot chocolate sex (rum, frap, Bosco, mead and hot peppers). Jim was nice enough to bring out his personal bottle of the hot chocolate sex which we got to try... Definitely interesting! They also brought out some local nj hot sauce to try with the chips. All in all a fantastic night!

We ordered an Expresso Martini (Vodka) and a Bees Knees Cocktail (Gin). Dario brought our drinks to our table. The cocktails were so yummy! SCD only sells chips and other related snacks. Best to eat before you arrive. Overall, Silk City Distillery has remained consistent since my last visit. Extras: - All alcohol is made at the distillery. - Distillery tours are available by appointment. - SCD has some hilarious Tee Shirts for sale. - 2 Restrooms on the premises. - Adjoining Ghost Hawk Brewery shares a small parking lot with SCD. Street parking is available too.

Like the brewpub, Silk City Distillery had been on my wish list, and it was not until I arrived at Ghost Hawk that I noticed that they were adjacent to each other, allowing me to check both off at once. The tasting room was adorned with barrels that were holding their vast selection of spirits, such as bourbon, whisky, rum, gin, vodka, and more. They also offered a handful of regular and high-top tables, which we were easy to obtain on that afternoon (given the outdoor options as well), but typically reservations were recommended. Though the seating was comfortable, the temperature was not. In fact, it was freezing in there, and we, along with a lot of other parties, switched tables multiple times to find the best fit. We approached the counter to order from their lengthy cocktail list, which included standard and more custom cocktails. I decided on their rendition of a Lime Rickey, asking for it to be made with their gin. The tart, sour, and sweet drink was light and refreshing. I enjoyed each sip so much that I wound up getting a second round. While many distilleries offer a few types of alcohol and a handful of cocktails, the Silk City Distillery went above and beyond with their vast array of options. Any connoisseur should enjoy the place!

While the aesthetic has a hipster edge to it, let's be clear: this is not a place where you get a cheap bucket of beer served by a pretentious, disinterested bartender. It is a haven for people who truly appreciate exceptional spirits. They distill incredibly high-quality, rare spirits right on-site, and the innovation and quality show in every glass. It is obvious that an immense amount of thought, care, and consideration goes into the flavor profiles of both their unique creations and their brilliant takes on classics. The drinks are pricey, but it's worth it for the premium experience. Their rum old fashioned is a personal favorite -- a truly innovative take on a timeless cocktail. For those who abstain from alcoholic beverages -- they do have a handful of tasty mocktails available. What elevates the experience even further is the exceptional service behind the rail. Instead of the indifferent attitude you get at some trendy spots, the team here is welcoming and highly engaged. They take the time to ask about your flavor preferences to recommend the perfect drink. The space can get quite loud and high-energy -- especially when multiple lively groups or bachelorette parties are overlapping -- so be prepared for the cacophony. Even so, for phenomenal cocktails and incredible service, this place is unmatched! If you want a masterfully crafted drink in an unforgettable, high-energy setting, this is the spot. We will definitely be back! PRO TIP #1: New Jersey's draconian liquor laws prohibit microbreweries or distilleries from serving food, so bring your own snacks or order via your favorite delivery app. PRO TIP #2: Dismal Harmony does not have a private parking lot, but there is plenty of paid on-street parking on Morris Street. Bring change or use the ParkMobile app for the meters ($1 per hour) Monday through Saturday from 8am til 6PM; all street meters are free Monday through Saturday after 6pm and all day on Sunday. If you can't find a spot on the street, paid parking is also available in the Morristown Parking Authority Lot #10 (12 Wilmot Street).
