Beautiful spot for a family brunch to celebrate my birthday! Thankfully it's not busy compared to in the summer when there's a market outside. Very relaxing vibe when you step in with hanging plants. The bar area has exposed pipes to lend an industrial feel. We got a table right away in a booth next to the bar. We ordered biscuits and gravy, kids waffles, avocado toast and warm donuts. The donuts are deep fried coated in generous amounts of sugar. While it's good but felt like the large amount of sugar is very overpowering. The berry mascarpone cheese is really delicious! Loved the homemade biscuits topped with just the right amount of gravy. The waffles were light and fluffy, the whipped cream was to die for according to my kids :) I loved all the greens on my avo toast especially the sprouts. However, I found the toast to be on the bland side with not much flavor. Needed some hot sauce to spice it up. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our brunch and the service was great as well! Highly recommend this restaurant/distillery for casual as well as a fancy night out! They also have good vegetarian options (hello falafels!). read more

We were attending a wedding in the area, and stopped at Knowlton House the morning after. There was a lovely small but mighty farmers market taking place, with some great vendors and many quality goods. After the market we stopped in to check things out and wow it was crowded at 10am on a Sunday morning. The place is rather large, we ended up at the bar as the dining room had quite a wait. The bar was delightful. We didn't eat but we'd like to next time. Drinks were good as was the atmosphere and staff. We'd def come back again. Prices fair and ample parking. read more

Knowlton House was a welcome surprise! We really went for the farmers market but decided we were hungry so we went in to partake of Sunday brunch. It was quite busy, but we were still pleasantly greeted and were shown to a table right away. My mom had the biscuits and gravy and she really enjoyed the meal (and loved the crispy roasted potatoes), but she did wish that the meal had more gravy. I had the turkey bacon bagel and it was truly fabulous!!! To sum it up, the oven-roasted turkey, whipped dill cream cheese, Nueske's bacon, alfalfa sprouts, garden tomato & red onion on an everything bagel were a symphony of flavors and textures and I wish I could get something like this closer to home. Knowlton House also had a sizeable outdoor relaxation area where you can sit, eat, drink, play yard games, and listen to music (they did have live music starting outside when we had to get back on the road). read more

This has become a recent favorite for me. I should try something new on the menu but I keep craving their meatloaf; Smokey bacon-wrapped goodness topped with onion frills and micro greens with a bit of cheese in the center. I'm going to talk this up further and suggest that even my humble side of smashed potatoes are the best I've had. The only thing that would have topped my experience would be if they would have brought back the "Campfire Old Fashioned" (see photo from last year with the toasted marshmallow) (hint, hint if anyone in charge is listening ) read more

We went for lunch and also did the distillery tour. The cheese curd appetizer was delicious. Light flaky breading and fresh cheese with ranch and a delicious jam reminiscent of boysenberry syrup. We had some of their cocktails with were delicious. The service was quick and attentive. I loved the interior of the building and which had lots of fun touches. Karl did our tour and had lots of interesting facts to share as well as the opportunity to taste the items they distill. I would go again even though it's a two hour drive from where I live. read more

We came here the weekend of St. Patrick's Day for the first time. The building and grounds are impressive and the inside is clean and beautiful. Lots of space for small and large groups and it's very kid friendly. Our group ordered 5 drinks and 3 of them weren't even available which was super odd for a distillery on a big weekend and disappointing. We got other drinks and generally they were all pretty good, with the exception of an old fashioned which wasn't mixed very well. We only tried a cheese plate which was fairly good. I'd go back and try their regular menu in the summer and hope the bar is better stocked. Overall it was fine, I'd give it another shot in the future and hope the first time hiccups were a fluke. read more

Swung in here on a Sunday afternoon. There were a few people at the bar but it was not busy. What I would expect for a football Sunday and no TVs. The building is pretty and the whole vibe is very modern. The cocktails were around $10 which I consider average for a craft cocktail. I had the Queen Bee and it was quite tasty. We also ordered the cheese curds and those came with two different dipping sauces and were very good. They actually had a lot more on the menu than I thought they would. We only had one drink but I'd come back again. read more

Stopped in at the new Knowlton House Distillery and found a seat at the bar. The ambiance of the place is inviting and comfortable. I had a beer and the eviction notice bourbon which had a nice flavor. The highlight of my visit was the delicious brisket sandwich, which was just the right amount of spicy. I look forward to Coming back soon and trying more of the menu. read more

Fabulous spot for cocktails and delectable eats. I must warn you though, you may have to wait an hour to get a table on a Friday night. That being said, there is a beautiful distillery ambiance and tours are available. My only criticism would be the slow service. That being said, the salmon and quinoa burger were delicious. The caprese salad with Burrata and prosciutto was great! Will definitely be back. They also have a farmers market on Sundays! So glad this place was recommended by a coworker. read more

Such a great restaurant and space for brunch!! We started with a Bloody Mary which was delicious and had just the right amount of garnish. Moving on to food, we shared the donuts, and ordered a Knowlton burger, and the smokehouse hash. All of the food was really outstanding and I may have dreamt about the donuts last night!! We ended with a piece of the bourbon chocolate cake which I need the recipe for. If you are traveling through the area, Knowlton House is worth a stop. If you live in the area you are lucky to have a great place to dine. Quality equals price and the quality was exceptional. Shout out also to the cutest waiter, George, who was super attentive and friendly!! We can't wait to visit again the next time we travel through Central WI. read more

Knowlton House Distillery - There is nothing better than a WI bloody!!! - Distilleries Near Me - Mosinee, Wisconsin

Food is good, drinks are good. WAY too many young "employees" standing around doing nothing while you wait for any kind of service. Totally distracting and unbecoming. Young female bartenders paying more attention to their friends and co-workers than their customers. Sit at the bar and wait for their attention while they socialize. Way too concerned with their hair, their nails, their phones and their friends. Annoying beyond acceptable. read more

It was our first time at Knowlton House. Our server Grace was friendly and knowledgeable and made our experience top notch! We had a friend with dietary restrictions and she was amazing, checking with the chef amaking recommendations and enhancing what was already a great dining experience! We'll be back !! read more

Great beers and bruschetta. Great atmosphere and setting. Ordered a smoked old fashion. It was the worst old fashion I have ever had. Would not recommend that. read more

Great Old Fashioned, very good fish fry and good service we will definitely be back. Fun to see all the distilling equipment

We had dinner here a few days ago. I had the Queen Bee drink which was delicious, albeit a tad small, but delicious. Then I asked Dan, our bartender, if he could make me a spicy drink that did not contain bourbon, and he came through making me a very tasty drink with gin. As my main meal, i ordered the cider glazed pork loins. It was amazing. The pork was cooked perfectly, the potatoes were nice and crisp and fluffy inside and the Brussel sprouts were so tasty. Janelle took our order and served our meal. Both Dan and Janelle were amazing and so attentive and friendly. Can't wait to have the pork loins again, because they were that good! read more

Great environment, I ordered the chipotle burger was very good!! The service was great very nice and tentative. I enjoy their drinks as well they also have a nice outdoor seating area. read more

Our bartender was great in her mixology, explanations and repartee. The bar was beautiful and busy and customers were all friendly. It is Wisconsin after all. I had a Ring My Bell with Gin and red pepper syrup, lemon juice, a few drops of the secret brew of hot peppers and a dusting of Old Bay on the side. I thought I was taking a chance but it was YUMMY! My husband must have loved his martini because when I looked over he was having a second while I was trying to keep my equilibrium from the first. We stayed for dinner and tried the Smokehouse Meatloaf. I was happy to see that the portion looked just right, not too huge, wrapped in delicious smoky bacon with layered potatoes and broccolini. Delicious! It turned out to be a super, generous portion. read more

Knowlton House is amazing and my waiter George was a very nice server that I would recommend. The food was delicious! We started off with the donuts and they were crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. I got the Knowlton burger and I loved it. The beef tasted fresh and delicious and it was perfectly juicy. The restaurant is filled with decor representing the history of Wisconsin cheesemaking and really just looks great. All in all if you're in the area of Knowlton I recommend going to Knowlton House and getting some delicious food!! read more

This place really exceeded all expectations that were already high! Just pulling up, the location is perfectly out of the way and the exterior is so beautiful! It was so hot today, but I'll absolutely be back to sit on the gorgeous patio before it's too cold. When we arrived there was a small wait but with it being opening weekend that was to be expected and it went so fast while we enjoyed a delicious cocktail. We tried various drinks and they were all literally perfect. Shout out to these amazing bartenders that absolutely nailed it! The food was absolutely delicious as well. The cheese curds were insane as expected since they are owned by the Mullins family, and I devoured the salad, and I would die for the recipe to that vinaigrette. My friends enjoyed the burger and wings and safe to say everything was inhaled. We finished with the apple cobbler and I was literally in heaven. Our server was also so funny and charming and really added to our experience! I can't wait to come back and try more things! read more

We've been to Knowlton House about eight times at this point and other than a few snafus when they first opened the food and drinks have been amazing. We also took one of their drink classes and thoroughly enjoyed it (highly recommend if that's your thing). Knowlton House is now our favorite place in Central Wisconsin (Wausau, Mosinee, Stevens Point) for a meal and drinks. Thank you Knowlton House!! read more

I was so excited to try Knowlton House with my husband and son and we were just.. completely underwhelmed :( The ambience is inviting, but the service was not. The drinks were pretty mediocre despite mouth-watering sounding names, the food was small in portion and large in price, and our server didn't bother to come back and check on us even once during the meal, despite it being 2pm and maybe 1/2 full at best? We had two drinks, one appetizer, one meal, and a soda between us and the bill was $65.. Maybe I need to admit to inflation, but I have a small appetite and I left hungry... read more

So this was a hard one. Beautiful place... loved the atmosphere... found the old fashion tasty... but it goes downhill from there. Had the sampler bbq plate... brisket felt like it was the bottom of the pan left overs. Smoked brat was fantastic. BBQ sauce was decent, but what they call a maple bacon jam, had neither taste of maple or bacon. Pulled pork was ok but found the half melted smoked grilled cheese to be out of place. , The food aside we found out experience fun as there were laughs had etc .. but at the end as we got our bill and asked for our server if it was ok to sit while our party finish his meal(which she agreed). A male bartender quickly ce.over to tell us they were closing and to finish and leave. I get having a long busy night... and if that was the case and it was late when we got there, then tell us that and don't seat us. But never tell a customer to hurry and leave in such a manor. read more

Eight of us (ice hockey team participating in the annual outdoor pond hockey tournament) arrived on a busy Saturday night very hungry and thirsty. We were told it would be over an hour wait and then out of the blue, they were able to provide a table for us due to a party that decided they didn't need the space. We were thrilled the restaurant took the time to check into the space and made room for us. Everything after we sat down was fantastic. The food was great especially the burgers and the service was even better. We will definitely return the next time we are in the area! read more

The liquor itself they produce is mediocre, but their mixed drinks mask the flaws and are quite tasty actually. The food is not great from what I have tried...the pulled pork sandwich lacked any flavor beyond the smoke and was dry. Another person in my party had the smoked Platter and brisket and pulled pork were dry and lacked flavor, but the smoked pork sausage was juicy, flavorful and the one shining star on an otherwise pedestrian platter. It should be noted the only other time I've stopped here, the drinks were the same and when asking the bartender about food, he said the brisket can be good and is sometimes dry.(they had been open 7 days, there shouldn't have been sometimes at that point yet). So it's my bad for coming back after a fair warning. To top off the night, about 10 seconds after our server dropped the check, a bartender came up to say can you please finish up your drinks and leave, we are trying to close...this was 10 minutes after their closing time and only 20 minutes after we were seated. Up til that point, I was going to suggest the venue to a group I am involved in to use this as a monthly meeting spot, but after this experience I cannot recommend this place to anyone. read more

Fun experience , drinks kind of pricey but good. Great outdoor patio area with fire outs, and they allow dogs !

Stopped in today and had one of the best, most enjoyable tasting experiences ever! Staff was incredibly kind, fun and accommodating. Great backstory to this little central Wisconsin gem. Vodka and gin are delicious and the flight is a great way to taste and still drive! Make sure to have the tonic chaser too. Bought a few bottles to share. Can't wait to visit WI again and see how they've grown. read more

Drinks, food and service was outstanding. Thanks Kim for all the great suggestions. Chicken and pot roast sandwiches were family favorites.

Kim did a wonderful job providing recommendations from the appetizer to desserts. The atmosphere was inviting, options for beer and the simplicity of the food options were all desirable. I can't to come back and experience the outdoor patio. I also can't wait to try a one of the many drinks options on the menu. read more
