This was a highlight destination of our Poconos trip! This family-owned spot has the kindest staff, gorgeous atmosphere overlooking the mountains as you drink outside (we even had live music on our visit). Our drinks were fantastic, all made in-house with stories and information behind them. They have cocktails and straight pours for flights. The hummus plate was also very tasty! Fairly priced, great family, and plenty of bottles and merchandise to bring home! This is a MUST visit for anyone visiting The Poconos area! read more

This may have become our favorite distillery! No on under the age of 21 allowed!!! I do wish more adult beverage places would do this!! Dogs are allowed. My drink was very good!! The outdoor seating area was very comfortable and relaxing. They have a place for bands and a large gazebo. It is a very nice distillery. I definitely recommend this distillery. read more

My friend and I are on a boys weekend and decided to take a stop to Holy Ghost Distillery as my buddy is into the bourbons and whiskey. We had a nice hour or so talking about the facility and trying the wares. The place is a former farmhouse from the 1800s and has gone through a few metamorphosis's before finally becoming a distillery about eight years ago. The owners had some stories about the licensing and jumping through hoops but they said they are to the point where they like what they have. It's a nice place with indoor and outdoor seating, they have some small bites for food, and a lot of good liquors. Tastings are $10 for four 1/2oz pours of either the clears (vodka), rums, or brandy/whisky. They will give you more than enough information about how each differs, and the tasting comes with a baked pretzel. I liked two of the four rums, and my friend liked two of the four whiskies. He then got a Smoked Old Fashioned (see my video!) and I went with a Mojito. Both drinks were outstanding. My friend then purchased a cocktail glass and I got a T-Shirt. $15 for the shirt, $10 each for the tasting and drink. We had a very nice time speaking with the owners. You should make time to come visit Holy Ghost Distillery. read more

My spouse is a huge bourbon fan and seeing reviews that Holy Ghost Distillery had the best bourbon was the reason we stopped. The reviews were definitely right, amazing bourbon! On top of that they have a unique venue, great hospitality and great menu. We are already planning our next trip, and bringing friends for a pairing! Oh and don't miss the smoked old fashioned! read more

Had company from Philly, what to do with them. Great choice they are bourbon drinkers. They learned a lot Was fun from beginning to end. John the owner also makes a mean Lemon Drop. Guest and servers were all very friendly. read more

Stopped in after a day of hiking around the area. Nice old farm house converted to a distillery. It was very busy on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated downstairs and each had a drink: - The 990 Ward - Cran-Spiced Martini Both were well prepared and delicious. Worth a stop for a drink in a nice place. read more

Holy Ghost Distillery - Out door bar and gazebo. - Distilleries Near Me - White Haven, Pennsylvania

We have been many times. The last two times the owner has been gruff, not friendly and seems annoyed. The very last time we went we had our 16 year old with us which had never been a problem before. We got out of the car and were met with the owner saying "21 and older." Ok not a problem. Understood, but could have been met with a more pleasant demeanor. We and other people had brought their kids multiple times. If the rules changed, then ok but was there a need for the poor attitude? Customer service counts and being nice costs nothing. We have been multiple times and brought all of our out of town guests to the distillery. We are locals. I respect their rules but I also expect to be treated with kindness and for customer service to be paramount. If you treat me and my child with disrespect then I won't come back. I've also taken multiple orders for friends and colleagues and that will stop as well. Sorry, not sorry, Holy Ghost. Please do better. You lost a good, local customer read more

Very nice place to sit, have a couple of cocktails and listen to live music. We were there on a Saturday afternoon and sat outside to eat. They had a food truck there that afternoon with really good sandwiches. We had cocktails - I had the Blood Orange Madness made with their Blood Orange vodka and it was yummy read more

Cannot recommend this place enough. I live in California and was visiting my parents for the weekend. I wanted something fun to do and happened to stumble upon this place online. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The tour was interesting and we got to taste all of their house bourbons. After the tour we sat in the patio area for cocktails and snacks. I had the Maple Bourbon Smash and the Blueberry Bourbon Smash. Both were amazing, but make sure you ask for them smoked. They come in a little treasure chest full of yummy smoke. My Dad had the cucumber martini, which he loved enough to buy a second, but also bottle of the same gin so we could make it at home. They even had a great selection of mocktails for our designated driver. (Thanks Mom!) And I'd be remiss if I forgot to mention the bourbon smoked Gouda that we ordered to nibble between cocktails We had such a lovely time at Holy Ghost Distillery. My only regret is that I don't live closer! read more

Waited 15 mins at a table with no service. Politely left without ordering. Price was 3 tastings for $33 which seems astronomical. Guess I won't find out if it was worth it. read more

This place was so cool! The owners have been in business for a little over a year, and they are the kindest couple you could ever meet. They have a nice variety of flavored vodkas, as well as some very good bourbons. It was the name that caught my attention, and I was glad that I stopped by. read more

Wish this place wasn't so far away. Great people and great spirits. All four bourbons hit my sweet spot, as did the single malt. Staff was great and was handling a big crowd efficiently. If you're in or near the Poconos, it's worth your time to give Holy Ghost a try. read more

Very nice staff, good cocktail and flight menu, and relaxed atmosphere with outdoor seating. Really nice place to spend a lazy afternoon with friends. read more

Cocktails were all very good. Highly recommend the smoked old fashioned. The whiskeys were also all very good. I look forward to trying their high proof heated bourbon. Their service was also excellent. read more

It was a random stop on the way home from a short mountain stay and we were pleasantly surprised by the place outside... live music ... outdoor bag games and even our dog was allowed! Drinks were awesome and service was great as well! read more

Can't say enough about HGD. My wife and I stopped by and opted for a couple of cocktails. The Jan's Manhatten made with their rye bourbon and house-made sweet vermouth was absolutely THE BEST cocktail we both have ever tasted. We brought our little Shischon, Linus with us and we were able to sit in the cozy front room by a beautiful stone fireplace. The owners John and Jan were wonderfully cordial and great to talk to. I got a great education on how whiskeys and gins are made. We loved the rye bourbon and London- style gin so much we purchased a bottle of each. Upon returning home, I poured a bit of the rye bourbon in a glass of ice, and I can say that it is the finest bourbon I have ever tasted (and we KNOW good bourbons when we taste them. RUN don't walk to HGD for a wonderful, relaxing experience! Can't wait to go back!! read more

The drinks are good and the people that work there are super pleasant and very nice!! I recommend stopping by the place and trying a drink or two! read more

This was a spur of the moment trip to a hidden gem! Definitely worth the visit and I will go back! The service was excellent! They were very accommodating and helpful. The Man o'War drink was delicious! read more

We had a great time here and contrary to Yelp, they ARE open on Wednesdays! We did both a bourbon and vodka tasting. They don't normally serve food but do have a good truck and entertainment on Saturdays. read more

Brand new distillery off 80 in the Poconos, an otherwise distillery deprived area. So we walked in with tempered expectations. But right from there moment we stepped in, we knew we were in a special place. The spirits are plentiful and delicious. The seating, both indoors and outdoors, on the historic property, is so elegantly charming. And the owners have infused their respective Polish and Irish histories into the branding and the decor. Oh, and not only is the place dog friendly but dog obsessed. :) We were seated indoors with our pooch. Can't wait to return and try their full menu. Also the owners are history nerds and this is the first place where I saw a picture of the old white haven train station! read more

My family and I visited Holy Ghost this past weekend, and we absolutely loved it. There were 6 adults, 1 infant, and 1 dog, and they were easily able to accommodate us in their outdoor area. Their cocktail menu has a lot to choose from, and they have something for everyone's tastes. I'm more of a beer drinker myself, and the beer cocktails that they served were delicious. There was live music outside for all to enjoy, and an axe throwing area as well. The service was also top notch. I'll definitely be going back to Holy Ghost the next time I'm in the area. read more

My roommate and I stopped into this lovely little place this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Janice (the Owner) and Elaine were very knowledgeable about the Bourbon they poured for our tasting and the story behind their startup is even more warm. We very much enjoyed ourselves and we will definitely stop by again when we're back in the area. A treasure worth stopping in for and supporting. read more

My husband and I went to the distillery earlier today and really enjoyed it. We did a tasting outside and they followed Covid protocols very well. Their indoor area also looked inviting. Their tasting included a sample of 4 bourbons as well as a pretzel. The staff were super nice, inviting and knowledgeable. We bought a bottle of their distillers reserve bourbon and their gin. We recommend visiting and plan to go there again in the future. read more
