My friends and I have been looking for a new happy hour spot to try and get away from our usual packed college bar crowd and decided to try Kingfly. I love bourbon so had a few Kentucky mules. The first one I had was a little too sweet for my liking but I mentioned it to the bartender and he made my next one exactly how I asked with less simple syrup which was very appreciated. I think what made it 5 stars for me was the setting inside. I absolute love the rustic wood look inside and all the furniture/decor makes it feel like home.

Be sure if you go to Kingfly to ask for Greg....he makes amazing cocktails, has a fun personality, and is very knowledgeable about his craft. He made our experience at Kingfly that much better with his cocktail customizations to suit our flavor profiles. The menu of seasonal cocktails and standard favorites had a little bit of everything to choose from. The atmosphere is relaxed and spacious. This is definitely a spot that we will return to in the future to try out additional house made spirits.

Had a lovely time with friends having crafted cocktails made by the kind bartenders. Looking forward to my next visit!

I hosted my monthly book club this past Sunday afternoon and it was such a fun afternoon! The staff was super friendly and accommodating. We were able to order individually and then we had our own table on the second floor. Which was great because we pretty much had the space to ourselves but then we could enjoy the live music which was awesome!! I enjoyed a cocktail and a snack, and both were very yummy. Definitely will be back, especially when there is live music! Shout out to Melanie for your assistance!

In town for Barrel and Flow and stopped by for quick drinks. Greg was our bartender and he did a great job! I had a vodka Collins (happy hour special) and a bourbon smash... my favorite. My husband had an old fashioned. Drinks were beautifully prepared and tasty. We always stop here when we're in town and will continue to do so. Great atmosphere with plenty of seating and free parking on the street.

One of the best old fashioned I've ever had. Greg is the man and easily one of the best bartenders!

We stopped in for an afternoon sip since we've only been in before at night, and were pleased to finally have the couch area all to ourselves. I got the coquito from the holiday menu and it hit the spot. Great drinks as always.

Went to Kingfly for the first time this past Sunday. We went at opening time and there was a line for drinks at the bar. I ordered a glass of Mazza and then was told there would be a $10 cover soon for the band. Honestly, I was confused why they didn't just collect the cover charge when you walk in the door. I sat and drank my Mazza then left without anyone asking me to pay the cover. Granted I did leave before the music started however, I feel like there should be a better system. The mazza was super sweet so I probably wouldn't order that again. The vibe was really cool. I would love to go back and check out the upstairs sometime (it was closed when we were there).

Distillery that's a bit further away from the main strip district area but worth the walk if you're in the mood for a good cocktail. They currently have some cocktail slushies on the menu for summertime. We got the painkiller - it's really good! Great for a warm day. They have a promo that they posted on IG but it's slightly misleading. It makes it seem like the first round ($12) will get you the cup in addition to your first round and you can get $5 refills thereafter. On the check though, there's a charge for the cup and each charge is also inflated ($5.20 for a refill, and $12 + some change for the first drink - I forget the cents, maybe $12.48). Not sure why they don't just keep the charges flat to match what they posted online. Good drink though! read more

Have been meaning to try this place for a long time. Finally went a couple of weeks ago. Love the old building but was unsure of the craft distilling. So many places just don't do it well. However, Kingfly does not disappoint. Was happily surprised at the quality throughout every part of the place. Really enjoyed the drinks and thought the prices were great considering the quality. This is not a speed bar the bartender puts a lot of time and effort into each drink. Go on a Thursday and you may be lucky enough to have Josh as your bartender. read more

First and foremost I have to say- the atmosphere here is immaculate. The staff was amazing and not only gave us an incredible drink suggestion which changed my fiancée's whole view on tequila cocktails for the better (the de manzana was incredible), but they also were so personable and kind that we ended up staying long past the one drink we planned to come by for. We had never been in before but plan to come back soon! They also constantly have super cool and unique events going on. read more

Update - Great space and atmosphere but inconsistent latte technique. I went during last Saturday afternoon and ordered an almond milk latte. I don't know if it was the step of making it or the timing that was messed up, but the milk foam was so thin and it did not even taste like a latte. The first pic was taken 30 seconds after the latte was handed to me, the foam was almost gone already. The second was after 2 sips....it was more like a coffee misto than a latte. Overall, not a fan of their espresso drink. (They use Commonplace beans, which is kind of a wast with their poor latte technique) read more

My girlfriends and I visited Kingfly this past Saturday sometime within the 10-11pm hour before close. They ordered gin based cocktails that they enjoyed very much, having two each. I got the seasonal frozen limoncello and immediately noticed the impressive presentation. It was refreshing and the perfect frozen consistency. While I love the cozy ambiance and architecture of the space, in the summertime, it would be nice to maximize their outdoor seating along Smallman. read more

Stopped in with some out of town family for a cool afternoon drink. Loved it. Cocktails were nicely done. Place was busy but not too crowded. Music was cool and set the vibe without being too loud. Decor was super cool and nicely integrated distilling equipment. Bartenders were super friendly. Didn't make drinks that quickly but they made up for it with their willingness to customize drinks. Even made a fresh lemonade for those who couldn't drink. read more

5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here. Seriously. Skip to the end to see my rating scale. So first off, I'm not a spirits guy. I'm a beer guy. Although I do love a nice mojito. Unfortunately they were unable to make one for me the day we went. I get the impression though that they can and do, but the bartender wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed on our visit. So they couldn't make what I wanted and the server was subpar, so why the 5 stars? I'm really going off potential in this review, as in, I really think this is a 5 star place. It has the industrial ambiance that I appreciate and the details of their decor are first class IMO. It was clean and inviting and the young lady who I believe to be the manager on duty that day was welcoming, friendly, and classy in her own right. I couldn't score a mojito but they do have a beer selection from some of the better craft breweries in the neighborhood so I was happy with stout I was able to order. They also have live music which is another big plus and the two levels of seating are connected by floor openings so you can enjoy the show on whichever floor you find yourself. Always a big selling point for me is outdoor seating which is available with several picnic and bistro tables on the sidewalk. Top it off with them being dog friendly and they really do hit the mark on the things I most want to see in a relaxation station. So despite the bartender who left his personality under the bed when he left for work, I'll still give Kingfly five stars. 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here read more

Not a huge selection of their own liquors - in their whiskey flight both of their guest whiskeys from other PA distilleries were better than the ones they made. Their rye was super hot, with lots of burn. Their bourbon was kind of bland in comparison. Not my favorite. Service was good, no problems there. Probably wouldn't go back with Wigle only a couple blocks away. read more

During the tour they showed us how they used to make the barrels by hand, which is quite insane!

However, Wigle does because they produce a wide array of spirits beyond whiskey like the vodka and coffee liqueur in this mix. I depended on YouTube travel vloggers to point me in the direction of this popular distillery bar and cafe in the Strip District. The place was bustling in the middle of the afternoon, and I was lucky to secure the last stool at the bar. The espresso martini drew my eye, and I thought I should have a snack to go with it. I ordered the $12 Devil's Eggvocate. Four deviled egg halves were topped with smoked paprika, pickled jalapeño slices, and bacon jam made with their own coffee liqueur (Photo 9). It was a bit top heavy for me, but then I never reject a deviled egg. If I wasn't driving, I might've considered trying a whiskey tasting, but it just wasn't in the cards.

It is a very different business model than their usual retail spots in shopping centers. We ordered some of their usual slushees: the adult orange push-up and adult chocolate milk. Just like at their other locations they can add an additional shot to these for additional flavors beyond just the base flavor (and a little extra kick). A new drink that some of our group ordered was the hammered duck. It is a combination of lemonade and snozzberry moonshine with a rubber duck floating on top. It is a nice summer drink and very photogenic! As far as food goes, the only thing we ordered was the salmon dip. It was also very good and served with warm pitas and tortilla chips. We look forward to returning and enjoying more of what Country Hammer has to offer.

The espresso martini at Love Katie has a little cream, which I love. The bartenders at Love Katie are all wonderful, knowledgeable, and kind, and the space is so cute.

We went on a Sunday afternoon so we were able to find street parking directly across from the distillery (no small feat in Sharpsburg). The initial bar/lounge interior was small and cozy and admittedly noisy, but signs said they had a patio so none of that deterred us. My mom ordered a Pumpkin Martini, and I ordered their Grilled Peach Whiskey Sour. Both were as delicious as they sound, I promise. The Grilled Peach Whiskey Sour was especially dangerous - with the added sweet and fruity flavors, I could barely tell that I was drinking whiskey! We also peeked at a food menu (you can order food for pickup at a restaurant within the same block), but we didn't order any food this time around. The previously mentioned patio is behind the distillery and you have to walk through the rest of the building to get to it - so past the bathrooms, past some of their equipment and work space, etc. The actual patio space is pretty cute though, and is covered; that was very appreciated on a sunny afternoon. My only regret about my visit is that we only had time to enjoy one drink (my mom and I went later in the day due to other scheduling conflicts)! The drink menu itself is massive; if it were earlier in the day I absolutely would have spent more time sampling things. I could easily see myself stopping in for early drinks and then heading to Redhawk Coffee afterward. I'll definitely be back again; this place is a delicious and delightful gem worth crossing some bridges to visit!

Great to see the whole process of making the vodka from dehydrated potatoes to the waxing of the bottles. The products by Boyd and Blair are delicious and quality. Their distribution and award accolades are seriously impressive. I really loved getting hands on and making interesting cocktails. The teacher was informative and helpful, creating a fun and dynamic class. I learned a lot and am now intrigued to try more at home cocktail making. I will be shopping for some of the tools, bitters and ingredients that we used during class. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and friendly. Great dynamic experience I would recommend to anyone.

My visit to Kingfly Spirit on a Thursday night was an experience filled with cool, hip, and industrial vibes. Service was attentive and friendly. The ambiance was elevated by the presence of a live band, adding to the energetic atmosphere. I particularly enjoyed the eclectic display of glass containers, which added a unique touch to the decor. I ordered a Manhattan and a Pain Killer to sip on while taking in the ambiance. While the Manhattan looked impressive, I found it slightly lacking in vermouth compared to my personal preference. However, the Pain Killer was a delightful surprise, with its tropical flavors reminiscent of a pina colada. Overall, Kingfly Spirit left me intrigued and eager to return to sample more of their libations. read more

All i can say is WOW!!! I have been disappointed with other "craft" distilleries in the area, but was knocked out by the over the top libations created by this talented group of rum runners. If opportunity finds you anywhere near this copper guiled jewel dont hesitate to stop in and enjoy the taste of its many highly refined spirits. You wont be sorry. You may be in need of a ride home though. The cocktails while surprising smooth have quit a kick. I think thats where this group separates themselves from other local distillers that in my opinion push drinks that taste like something my uncle Deeno made in a trailer down by the river. Yucka!!! The "Fly" is the pinnacle of local distilleries. Im glad they are here. My liver not so much. read more

So impressed with this new distillery! It's in a great location right down in the Strip District and they did a beautiful job renovating an old historic building to be functional for today's modern use while honoring it's history and original finishes. I had the pleasure of talking to the owner and head distiller, Blake, who was so friendly and really knowledgeable about the product and the whole process. He showed us how the beautiful copper still, in the center of the distillery worked, which made us as the customers feel so much more involved. The bartenders were great and really helpful. I recommend the "corn and oil" drink and the "dark and story". Looking forward to visiting again soon! read more

This is the best thing to happen to Pittsburgh since the Steelers. The venue is absolutely beautiful. The rustic wood beams and brass still pots make you feel like you just arrived at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. I would recommend a flight of all of the spirits. The spiced Rum is incredible and the Limoncello is smooth and delightfully refreshing. Blake Ragghianti is the co-owner and General Manager. It's incredible I hear his story and you are captured by his knowledge of distilling. kingFly Spirits is a must-go if you're visiting our great city or if you live right next door. Any day during the week or weekend is a perfect day to visit Pittsburgh's new Gem!!!! ~ David Finnegan read more

Kingfly is a new beautiful distillery in the resurging Strip District. I stopped in on opening day and toured the establishment. Beautiful is one word that comes to mind. Welcoming is another. The cocktails were well crafted and all the bartenders come from some pretty high profile places. The staff was friendly and as fast as possible on such a high traffic day. I tried the house brand bourbon, rum, and their take on an old fashioned. Everything tasted exquisite. The rum and bourbon were high-end and definitely worth adding to your collection. If you're looking for an establishment with a more sophisticated patronage Kingfly is your new goto!! read more

I went to Kingfly opening week. The space is incredible. It is an awesome place to hang out with friends, but it would be incredible for an event or party. You are surrounded by the distilling craft. You are in the middle of the whole distilling process. However it is a distillery, so it's about the booze. The spiced rum is wonderful to sip neat. The white rum is unique and a great ingredient for craft cocktails. Finally, the limoncello is absolutely on par with Sorrento. I'm looking forward to coming back and sampling some of the craft cocktails and food truck offerings. This is a cool place. read more

If you haven't been to Kingfly Spirits you're making a mistake. My wife and I showed up on a Wednesday night to celebrate her birthday and we couldn't have had a better experience. The building is stunning. The spirits are unmatched. We tried the limoncello and Bliss rum, both of which were outstanding. The bartender is a genius. They attended to all of the details, up to and including the Kingfly branded ice in our cocktails. You absolutely must make a trip to Kingfly Spirits, you will be glad that you did. read more

I thought it was a bar when I first walked in, but in reality it is a distillery that makes very cool spirits. I think they even make their own vermouths and bitters - amazing! There are lots of distilleries around these days but there are few that actually care about quality in the way these guys do - and you can feel it. They are passionate. It's so cool that the tasting room let's you see right into the tanks and stilling equipment, etc. Very cool, very unique. I'm a regular now. read more

We were blown away with this impressive new hot spot in the strip! A Tasteful remodel of an old building, leaving enough original flair to make you feel like you've come home. The beautiful still, out in the open makes you feel like you're part of the distilling process. Couches, and tables and music, oh my! Bring your scrabble board or chess set, or whatever, you'll wanna stay awhile. And I didn't even mention the artfully delicious cocktails in perfectly matched glasses or tea cups:) read more

Kingfly Spirits is the perfect hangout spot! Aside from the spirits being made right on site (you have to try the limoncello!) Everything about this place is cool, the atmosphere is relaxed and chill, you can sit in the lounge area for a more quiet vibe or sit at the bar if that's more your scene. Either way enjoy some bar snacks and excellent cocktails! We'll be here a lot! read more

This unique artisanal distillery is absolutely beautiful inside and out, and the staff is delightful. The place is quite large, and unusually cozy for an industrial space, with a loft that is the best kept secret in Pittsburgh. Their spirits and cocktails are thoughtfully produced, and the service was spot on, particularly in light of Covid awareness. Good job, Kingfly! read more
