Gabby is the best! Wonderful Old Fashions that she gleefully smoked for us. Yes, I said gleefully because the vibe here was so positive and so much fun. As the neon sign said, "Do fun $hit" and coming here was exactly that!!! read more

Manager has such a cold and mean attitude, overpriced slop on top of that. Save your money

BRISTOL, PA: when we found out that Hops and Hardware Distillery allows dogs, we were thrilled as downtown Bristol is a beautiful town along the Delaware River and now we have a dog friendly place to visit! Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed inside the modern tasting room and outside at the impressive patio and we enjoyed our visit on a boisterous Sunday afternoon. The management is cognizant of how dogs may interact with each other and may suggest that if other dogs are inside maybe it will be better to sit outside, but it is all up to your comfort level. We really enjoyed this craft distillery, makers of vodka, gin, and rum that deliciously feature their liquors in hand crafted cocktails. A customer favorite is the "Famous Drilled Orange" where a hole is drilled into a fresh orange and filled with vodka. You have a choice of a grapefruit and also a liquor-free version. The Lady Guava rum-based drink is also so delicious and there is a whole list of cocktails to choose from. They also offer local beer, wine, mead, and non-alcoholic options. A soft pretzel, personal pizza, and mixed nuts are available for purchase and you can also bring your own food. There is a free parking lot right next door off Basin Street. We were so happy that one of our most supportive followers was also hanging out at Hops and Hardware and recognized us: Dave B., and his pups Dozer & Pugsley! It was fun to catch up and we appreciate meeting others who love hanging out with their dogs and supporting small businesses. read more

Great stop if your in the borough for any occasion. The canals end parking lot is conveniently located right next door. Seating options are at the bar, high top tables, lower tables, a couch area and outside. The bartender (Autumn?) was there on both visits and did an outstanding job. They have their own spirits, house distilled and aged in a location close by. Hardware Vodka, Perfect Storm Spiced Rum, Bristol Springs Gin, Enchanted Indigo Vodka, Cedar Street Bourbon. I tried their Cedar St. bourbon - a mix of 75% Corn, 21% Rye and 4% Barley Malt. It's age statement was 2 years. It was a simple and smooth young bourbon, I had it neat and on a second trip in a cocktail called the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend - Cedar Street Bourbon, House-Made Strawberry Simple, Fresh Lemon which was sour, tart & refreshing for a gorgeous spring day. There was a hint of bourbon, but mostly sour lemon and sweet/tart strawberry. Their food menu is limited with a couple of small flatbread/personal pizzas $10 or 2 for $18 and a pretzel wreath from nearby Papa's pretzels. I had the Margherita which came on a premade whole grain shell. It had a sweet cheese & sauce, fresh basil and the crust was grainy and sweet. Simple flatbread, but it really hit the spot. (The bartender put it together quickly and baked it in a Bakers Pride oven right behind the bar.) They had several beers on tap, cider, tea, local wine/sangria, mead and some non alcoholic drinks. The list of standard and signature cocktails is a pretty good size. Their "Bristol Bomb" - FAMOUS DRILLED ORANGES (OR GRAPEFRUITS) 4 /8 Fresh Oranges Drilled filled Wit or Witout Hardware Vodka looked like a real fun drink! I will certainly return here at some point. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Thanks guys! read more

Our first stop on our pub crawl with the usual suspects. BlackBerry Bramble a gin drink. The others were Thin Mint and Enchanted. The drinks were good my Bramble was really good. Autumn was our barkeep. Service was great. Ambiance was a distillery. A short bar with six stools and a few hi-top tables, and a cushy couch along a wall. A great first stop. Mark. read more

I was there this past weekend. It was the bar crawl. There was a 21 year old very intoxicated customer there. hops and hardware continued to serve him. We took his keys, gave them to the bartender to where she returned them to him. The were finally called and one of his friends came and picked him up. The only thing this establishment was concerned about was if he left. They did not care that he was getting behind a wheel of a vehicle and driving. read more

We visited on Sunday afternoon and the place was moderately crowded but we found a table. Nicely decorated, not the usual annoying industrial vibe. Bartender/server Miranda did an excellent job handling the crowd and was very friendly. We had beers and the pear martini, very tasty, and the pretzel wreath was very good. Needs to be served with more spicy mustard. We love this place. read more

I keep returning to this place with the hope it's going to get better & each time it ends up disappointing me more. The ambiance is super cute & it's a great location walkable to other bars & restaurants. The drinks are average at best. The guava spritz was the only thing out of 4 different cocktails we tried that was just okay. Service was terrible. The bartenders were not friendly or approachable making it uncomfortable to ask for anything. The icing on the cake was when the bartender knocked over my drink, granted it was almost gone, but she never apologized, or offered to replace it. It's a shame because this place has so much potential but there are way better places with better cocktails & service in Bristol that I'd recommend over this place. read more

Came here after the Forever Motown show at the Bristol Theater. I'd been wanting to stop in to see what it's all about for some time. Today felt right. I ordered the Hops Hottie, a mix of local tequila, hot honey, fresh lime and pineapple. It was tasty and spicy. The spicy was from the "hot" honey. This was on the specials menus and was $10. Next up, I wanted to try something different, but stick with tequila, so I went for the Black Tequila Margarita, made with local tequila, lime juice pineapple, and activated charcoal. The Black Margarita, $9, was a little too sour for my taste, but there are signs on the wall that indicate if a drink is too sour or too sweet, they want you to be satisfied and will remix it. I didn't opt to do that and enjoyed my drink anyway. Both drinks packed a punch for the money! Hubby didn't want to drink so he picked a non-alcoholic drink, The Surge Protector, $5, made of mango, dragonfruit, apple, and gingerale. I tasted it and it was good. There aren't many food choices, (pizza, pretzels, chauterie pretzels), but we noticed a sign on the wall for a pretzel wreath with 3 tipping sauces (honey mustard, jalapeno, and a salad type dressing), $8. The pretzels can be baked with and without salt. It was very soft and fresh and very good. Highly recommended for some fun and interesting drinks. We'll be back! read more

This place is nice to go to when they are having events on mill street because it's easy access to cocktails, LOL. The people that work here are really kind and the drinks never disappoint. Being that there are so many breweries around it's nice to have a local distillery. read more

This place is seriously adorable! Instagramable for sure! From rope swings and a cute backdrop to games on the tables. Make sure you check out the patio! We had a basic bitch and a whiskey business. Both were delicious! Service was also quick and friendly. read more

Hops And Hardware Distillery - Basic Bitch and Whiskey Business - Distilleries Near Me - Bristol, Pennsylvania

This is the spot. I recommend it to anyone who is a vodka or rum fan. Their cocktails are some of my favorites and whenever I have family in town this is the perfect spot. It's right near the water so the outside vibes are great. Their cocktails are tasty and reasonably priced. Their food selection is limited but it's also very tasty. Service is great and the vibe is super cute. It's a must try! read more
