So, I absolutely love supporting small businesses, and I'm especially a fan of keeping things…read morelocal. That said, after visiting this place on a Friday afternoon, I have to admit I was a little taken aback by the pricing. I've included a few pictures for reference so you can see what I'm talking about. When we arrived, the ambiance was really nice. Everything was decorated for fall, it was beautiful outside, and they had a great outdoor setup, so we decided to sit outside and enjoy it. Now, I completely understand that everything is expensive these days. Drinks at bars, restaurants, and distilleries aren't exactly getting cheaper. With that in mind, though, I also expect a certain level of quality, size, and portion when I'm paying $12-$14 for a cocktail. My wife ordered an espresso martini, and I ordered a rum mojito, both made with their own products. I'm not exaggerating when I say the size of these drinks was... well, laughable. Especially considering the price. I also walked around and checked out a lot of their spirits, because, you know, that's basically mandatory when visiting a distillery. Their bourbon and other spirits seemed to be priced pretty much where you'd expect for a smaller-batch operation. I really didn't have an issue with those prices. It was the cocktail portions that got me. You're paying $12-$14 for a cocktail or around $8-$10 for a martini, and they're coming out in what I can only describe as plastic baby cups. At that price point, I'm expecting something that requires at least a heavy hand to carry, even with plastic being mandatory. Here's the deal: if you want to spend some money and have a decent experience at a local distillery, this place is okay. The outdoor fire pits were a nice touch, there was plenty of seating, and like I said, the ambiance was really enjoyable. The bartender was also very nice. For us, though, we only ordered the one round. After tax and tip, those two drinks came out to almost $25. So, if you're heading here, just bring your wallet--and maybe a magnifying glass for the cocktails. You're definitely going to pay a premium for the experience, and in my opinion, the portion sizes just don't quite match the price. Overall, it's a nice spot with a great atmosphere and friendly service. I just think it's a little overpriced for what you actually get in your glass.

My bf and I recently visited Dragon Moonshine during our anniversary after finding a great deal on…read moreGroupon. WE HAD AN AMAZING TIME! We were immediately greeted by one of the owners, Chris. This man has such an amazing story! We learned so much about the spirit making process. You can tell he knows his stuff! He answered all of our questions and went into details on how every machine works. What's even more amazing is that he and his partner self-taught themselves how to do this. Genius. To top it all off, we got to taste their rum, amaretto, and apple pie moonshine. Our favorite was the amaretto, which we bought for $24! We even got two shot glasses. I love how everything is handmade from start to finish. Come and bring your friends - ask questions - you'll come out learning so much (and slightly tipsy) lol.

This place is so great! But, fair warning, they are not following regular hours at the moment, so…read moredefinitely try and call before you go. But, the owners were absolutely fantastic! It is a small space in a very hidden location (just follow the signs once you park) and the tour is more informative than anything else. Where this place shines is their product, and let's be honest, you didn't come to learn about the distillation process, you came for the booze! They are so generous with their tastings and everything they make is incredible, but the amaretto is where they shine! Their prices for bottles are also very reasonable and you get to keep the shot glass as a souvenir. Plus, Chris, and especially Rick, are so congenial and you can swap stories with them for hours! They are doing a release of their new bottle design, so stay tuned!
