The spirit is Kentucky Whiskey. Short Barrel offers high proof whiskeys, Rye, single barrels and some with those woodsy toasty vanilla notes. They have specialty releases as well like Bee's Knees and Sapsquatch. But they also calab with Old Forth Distillery. Bringing you the hand crafted vodka and the lemon ginger vodka. That makes the best lemon slushes. Now, today I came in to ask about the tour and tasting. I was told by a great guy that in order to tour and taste, you would have to reserve 24 hours in advance on their website. They don't have a set amount people for the tour or tasting. So, I looked around the cozy man cave/cigar room vibe area. I purchased a limited edition Dragoncon short Barrel bottle. bourbon. So, to give you a better review of everything I have to visit again.

It's a small place, specializing in blending and experimenting with different barrels. The tasting was excellent. We sampled four barrels, and tasting pours were generous. At the end, we got to bottle our favorites to take home. It was a very fun experience, and Sam did a great job guiding our tour and tasting.

The bartender noticed I wasn't drinking and asked what I wanted, but told him I'm pregnant so he instead showed me all of their non-alcoholic options. There's a party that brought their own food that they picked up a few doors down. The brewery also had some outside seating, disc golf and corn hole.

The people are extremely friendly and I felt very welcomed, my husband enjoys the beers but I really like the cocktails they offer. It's great to be able to enjoy both worlds in one place. Highly recommend the Strawberry Daiquiri, they make the strawberry syrup in-house and it really gives it a freshness and lightness. In terms of beers my husband enjoyed the Dunkel, and looks forward to trying their other offerings. For Trivia night they have a rotating list of food trucks, and we had the pleasure of trying the taco truck--great food, and generous portions. The shrimp tacos are a must try if you like seafood. In terms of vibes, this bar has wonderful outdoor seating with string lights if you want to enjoy the outdoors, or varied seating indoors with stools and comfy couches if that's what you prefer. Bathrooms are always clean and well-kept, and we've seen people with their kids and dogs, such a warm atmosphere. A couple notes for Trivia: the bar plays as well! If the bar wins first place the prize goes to the last place winner, super fun twist. They also have a few groups of regulars that are generally high on the leaderboard, but I hope I'm there when the bar finally takes the first spot. :) Definitely worth trying for any of their event nights! Also appreciate that they give back to the community in various ways (blood drives and donations for example). That type of care will keep us coming back every time.

As a young lad I used to despise the taste of wine. It was either too sweet, too dry, tasted like…read moredirt, or reminded me of chewing on a cigar. After spending time in France touring Moët & Chandon, G.H. Mumm, and other Champagne houses, while visiting vineyards throughout the region, I started to develop an appreciation for the nectar of the gods derived from tiny, beautiful, round globes from around the world. I began recognizing the different intricacies and characteristics that make each wine unique. Fast forward a decade. I'd been going to this strip of businesses in Chamblee for years, usually hitting up the microbrewery and sushi restaurant across the street. One day I walked out and saw this wine shop that seemed to have appeared out of thin air... at least in my mind. I walked in and started chatting with the two amazing gentlemen behind the counter, who turned out to be the new owners. The shop had literally opened just two days earlier. They were incredibly kind, but more importantly, they knew their stuff. Never pretentious, never trying to impress you with wine jargon; just genuinely passionate about helping people discover great bottles. I immediately joined their Wine of the Month Club. For $50 a month, I get two curated bottles, discounts, and a few other perks. And this isn't some bottom-shelf stuff you grab while picking up paper towels at Kroger. These are thoughtfully selected bottles that are often from outside the U.S., which is right up my alley since I'd rather drink warm sewage water than most American wine... yes, even California. If Napa really is producing world-class wine, they apparently keep hiding it from me. Every month has been like Christmas morning, wondering what two bottles they'll surprise me with next. I'm genuinely sad that I'll be leaving Atlanta in the near future for a multitude of reasons, and this little wine shop is surprisingly high on that list. The monthly club has expanded my palate, but it's the ownership and staff that keep me coming back. They're knowledgeable without being pretentious, welcoming without being pushy, and they've created exactly the kind of neighborhood wine shop every city deserves. Verdict: Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or someone who still thinks every bottle tastes like dirt, this place is worth a stop. You might just leave with a bottle you never would have picked... and a Wine of the Month membership you didn't plan on signing up for.

It's a great little neighborhood wine bar to hang out in and meet good people. The staff is great as well - always super friendly and helpful. I also love that you can try so many wines here without having to commit to a bottle. They have wines on tap that you can pour yourself a taste, a small glass or a full glass, and also they will let you sample the wines they have by the glass before buying. The Thursday wine tastings are a great deal, and always fun with good wine. You would typically expect that a wine bar in downtown area would have high prices, but their bottle prices are great, and they often have specials. Cannot recommend highly enough!
