We had a flight of whiskey, a mule, a Godfather (their number one drink) and a beer that was on tap from Hub something. Can't remember the name. My husband loved the wheat whiskey and the Maryland Rye (enough to buy the Rye). The bar itself was made from a hammered copper, nice vibe. There were table games set up throughout the bar in preparation for their new year celebration. The place is in the old Masonic temple building, we were told, and is attached to the parking garage. Easy access and near the theatre and the new stadium. We will be back!!

The owner, though, still recognized us when we walked in the door (even after a year or so). She is so kind and knowledgeable. The spirits are always tasty, and they often have new ones to sample. The Dragon's Den is very fun. Yummy food, though I do wish there were one or two more vegetarian options. We got the nachos on this occasion, and they were really good. The drinks are the main attraction, and the menu is quite extensive. You really can't go wrong! There's plenty of seating (but it can get quite full). Our favorite part is that there are various board games to grab and play. Axe throwing is available, too. Highly, highly recommend!

Heard while at a nearby brewery that this place had an interesting vibe and some good food so…read moredecided to check it out. They did not lie! They have a Game of Thrones/Dungeons and Dragon kind of theme going on, with cocktails named after the different houses and a page where you can roll for your drink. I went with a flight to try out some of their whiskeys, but they also make gin and vodka. The flight was ok, I find when you make all the things nothing really stands out, but the Everyday whiskey was a nice smooth sip which I very much enjoyed. For dinner I had the smoked brisket which was tasty, but the sides (garlic mashed potatoes, carrots and asparagus) were fire. Service was great, they weren't very busy so it was easy to get a table and get served. Overall I would definitely come back to roll for a random cocktail and enjoy more flights of their other offerings!

Upscale distillery near Martinsburg. Pretty countryside location. The decor and buildings are…read moretastefully decorated. Plenty of tables , cozy couch and chair seating , pergolas and more! Patio equipped with fun corn hole set up! They feature specialty drinks monthly. The pours are generous- the cocktails excellent !! They do not have a kitchen but they feature a food truck or two. If you want beer - they only offer PBR,. Nice set up ! Check this place out if you are in the area . The bourbon is really great!! Blood Orange Bourbon Buck is my favorite - double shot of their bourbon, blood orange puree and ginger ale !!! Bartenders are friendly and quick - tip them well !! If they could do something better - would suggest maybe having some IPAs to go along with the PBR as lighter choices. Variety

A hidden gem. For over a year we wondered about what Black Draft Distillery would be like…read more Although we both are retired seemed like we were always busy and could not stop on our way through the area. This weekend was for us. First the free tasting introduced us to a great product. Next two choices of Novembers cocktail made especially for our taste were enjoyed by the fireplace. As I teased my Wisconsin family members about warmup drinks and no snow on the ground, we spilt a flight of 1/2 size cocktails. The decor meant a lot to me since my family had ponies, horses growing up and our Dad had his pets. They were Belgian workhorses, his babies. They behaved better than us kids. The following pictures do not do justice to the caring ladies with their friendly, and warm personalities. Like we told them we will be back and I cannot forget we bought some Christmas cheer to take home.

This is my all time, absolute favorite bar in Frederick. I almost wanted to refrain from saying…read morethat to avoid it getting too packed but this place definitely deserves the attention. I always make sure to stop by whenever I'm in Frederick. The ambiance is like a dim light basement, a clean and moody aesthetic with bar seating and couch seating. It does get loud in there and I think that's because the sound of everyone's voice just bounces against too many hard surfaces. Nonetheless it's super cozy and my favorite spot!! The drinks are all fantastic. They make their own organic distilled liquor and on top of that they away have seasonal drink selections. I go there wanting the same drink but also try something new and it never disappoints! They craft their cocktails with love and care and really put effort into a delicious well rounded cocktail. This is my go to spot for gin, I'm not even a gin drinker but I am now because their gin is amazingly smooth. I can't say enough great things!

You can tell there's a lot of care put into what they're producing. Definitely recommend stopping in. Afterward, head over to their bar next door and try a cocktail made with their spirits. It's absolutely worth it.

I got to enjoy the Blue Angels show from outside on the lawn. Look out for their summer and fall Whiskey on the Water event too!

This distillery delivered the latter in every possible way. From the moment you walk in, there's something special about this place. It's unassuming, welcoming, and refreshingly genuine, with an all-inclusive spirit that makes everyone feel at home. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, and their willingness to let you explore just about anything and everything they create makes the experience truly exceptional. From traditional spirits to imaginative adaptations and unique concoctions, there's something here for every palate. The flavors are inventive, the creativity is evident, and there's a good chance you'll discover something that speaks directly to your taste. The atmosphere is clean, humble, and unpretentious. There's no need for flash or extravagance. What you feel instead is the product of hard work, determination, passion, and an unwavering commitment to being the best they can be. They aren't trying to be anyone else. They're carving out their own lane, chasing their own vision, and building something genuinely special along the way. But the experience that took this visit from memorable to extraordinary was the opportunity to step into the back room for a private barrel tasting with just five or six other patrons. One of the owners personally led us through four barrel-strength offerings, drawing samples straight from each barrel and pouring them for us to experience firsthand. With every barrel, the flavors grew deeper, richer, and more complex. Each had its own distinct personality, its own story, and its own remarkable depth. It wasn't simply a tasting; it was a journey through the character and craftsmanship of the whiskey itself. And then came the moment that made the entire experience unforgettable. The fourth barrel, a beautiful blend of four grains, was absolutely stunning. Its flavor, depth, and balance came together in a way that made me want to preserve the experience long after leaving the distillery. I asked the owner whether any bottles were available for purchase. His initial answer was no. But rather than letting the moment end there, he went above and beyond, offering to fill, autograph, and seal a bottle straight from any of the four barrels for me and anyone else who wanted one. That is the kind of generosity you simply cannot manufacture. It was personal, spontaneous, and completely unexpected. It transformed an incredible tasting into a story I'll be telling for years to come. I walked away with a bottle from Barrel No. 4, and every sip continues to take me back to that moment. This is not a bottle you rush through or open casually. It's one you savor slowly, appreciate deeply, and share with the people who mean the most to you on those rare occasions that deserve something truly special. Experiences like this remind you that great bourbon is about far more than what's in the glass. It's about the people behind it, the passion that goes into every barrel, the generosity of sharing something special, and the unexpected moments that become lasting memories. I can't wait to return and see what new and spectacular creations they come up with next. If you appreciate exceptional whiskey, genuine hospitality, and the opportunity to experience something truly out of the ordinary, put this distillery on your must-visit list. Some bottles are worth buying. Some experiences are worth remembering. And every once in a while, you find a place that gives you both. Barrel No. 4 will always be more than a bottle of bourbon to me. It will be a reminder of an extraordinary experience I'll never forget.

I swear by this place! I found it the first time when leaving Dragon Distillery a few years ago…read more Curiosity drew me into the space. They started out with a relatively functional interior, but with repeated visits the decoration emphasizing the owners Puerto Rican heritage has increased in complexity to make the space look vibrant instead of utilitarian. The vibe is honest and proud, in contrast to Dragon Distillery which still feels trapped in GoTmania. Recommend the sampler flight to get an idea of what you want to buy first: it's also a pretty inexpensive way to sample their wares. If you time it right Chef Santos will be selling Puerto Rican food too. Not dog friendly, since the interior is part of the production facility.

But the real experience is with the fantastic lady pouring the up to 5 samples (I wish I caught her name). She was a total craftsman of her profession explaining how we could mix some of the whiskeys with other things. My wife and mother in law were huge fans of the tea whiskey mixed with lemonade. (It's delicious and way better than any cocktail you can find in a store.). The JEB bourbon is so smooth and only the second bourbon that I've found that I like. This place is definitely a must try if your family in the area.
