Incredible team, great atmosphere, some of my favorite drinks in town for a good price!

Popped into mammoth to listen to some afternoon live music on a Wednesday afternoon. Such a relaxed vibe! Love the dimmer lighting here. The bartender Hallie is a sweetheart, so warm and welcoming! Love the fresh cold fuzzy cans of soda! read more

This place has such a cool vibe and fun staff. The drinks are amazing, always have to stop in when in town.

Absolutely LOVE this place! Highly recommend. I have a small group of friends that like to go as much as possible and we are always greeted with friendly staff. Hunter always goes above and beyond for his Sunday crew Try the Gin and Tonic!! read more

Bar visit. Sophisticated adult vibe, darker colors. Professional bartenders, tasty drinks. More intimate modern setting for grown ups that aren't looking for cheap well drinks at a dive bar. Not inexpensive but not outrageous. read more

We had a great time at Mammoth Distillery! It was snowing like crazy so we chose to stay close to our air BnB and walk everywhere. There is a ton to do in this area and we were excited to find this spot. It's a very charming spot that is bigger than it looks. The bar area is rather small but there is a ton of seating. There is even a back room. They are happy to rent the space out for parties etc. the bartender was wonderful and we were able to chat with the owner for a bit. Very friendly and informative. You can even make your own bottle or several id you want. That is on our to do list when we come back. Can't wait!! read more

Try the Cherry Bounce here! It's a very cherry forward whiskey that was perfect for a trip to Traverse. We visited the distillery after exploring downtown and it was a great relaxing experience. We didn't feel rushed, had a great time chatting with our server and learning about Mammoth, and great drinks. The tasting of the different liquors was a good way for everyone in our party to try what they would like and then get one of the many creative cocktails they offered. read more

My wife and I went for some drinks and walked out with 6 bottles. That may explain how good it was. The standard gin, per the missus, is the best she's had. I really liked the Distiller's Reserve Rye (Oak Barrel Finish) and the Barrel Finished Gin. We also had some drinks, including a cucumber cocktail (my wife) and a bourbon blueberry drink (me). All hit perfectly. Will definitely return. read more

SERVICE:5 FOOD QUALITY:N/A DRINK QUALITY:5 ORDER TIME:5 AESTHETICS:5 NOISE LEVEL:5 MENU SELECTION:5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 5 One word... WOW! Our Kayak bike and brew tour was suppose to end at workshop brewing, but due to poor communication they were closed. While everyone on the tour was upset, my significant other, and I decided to go into Mammoth. This place is right behind workshop brewing, and we were very happy with our choice. As we walked in we immediately noticed that they had live music. This was a definite win. The decor was very inviting with beautiful tables and large comfortable chairs. It was a small, casual setting but the decor also said that dressing up was also acceptable. We wound up choosing to sit at the bar. There was 3 bartenders, and they were all awesome. Our favorite was the older gentleman. He wound up sitting, and talking to us all night. He gave us tons of local hidden secrets to visit. Wound up sharing stories back and forth, and he also opened up about his goals and aspirations. Was, hands down, some of the best, and most personable service. I ordered the salty Dawson to start, and it was delicious. So good that we stayed to try another. I wound up ordering la picante because I love spicy drinks. The la picante was so amazingly good that I wound up ordering 4 of them. We wound up closing the bar down, and I bought 3 bottles of mammoth label gin, vodka, and whiskey. All recommended by the bartender of course. :)... I, myself, bartended in Vegas for a few years, and drank in many of of the best craft cocktail bars in Vegas for most of my adult life. This drink was definitely one of the best cocktails I've ever had. Overall, this was the best part of our visit to traverse city. For being a bar that we visited due to a tour hiccup, we couldn't of been more happy. If you're visiting then don't miss out on some of the best service, (potentially) live music and amazing cocktails. Thank you so much for such an amazing evening!!! read more

The cutest place with tasty drinks! Just had a drink outside a couple months ago, and had a barrel-aged old fashioned and it was delicious! Super cute inside, I'd love to get back there sometime when it's cooler out, especially in the winter as there is a cozy feel inside. This place isn't the easiest to find as it is behind a popular brewery and kind of set back. The service was adequate, but nothing to write home about. Definitely will be back to try some other bourbon drinks plus more! read more

We wanted to go directly to Mammoth to get some of their gin & Wooly Rye, since we were going thru TC on our way to the Leelanau Peninsula. We did a tasting and were helped by a gal behind the bar (originally from Troy MI). She did a GREAT job, very friendly, informative & hospitable but we neglected to get her name. She was exceptional! We left with four bottles, Wooly, the 12 year rye, the gin & the delicious coffee liqueur. Thank you for a fun experience!! read more

Fantastic place and wonderful service. Hunter was our server and extremely attentive. There were 7 of us and we tried different concoctions. I had the Honey House substituted the gin for vodka and it was phenomenal. Hunter was knowledgeable about all products and offered many suggest for our differing palates. We will return and make it a stop during our annual, winter gathering. read more

This is one of several locations in the upper part of the lower peninsula for this business. We visited it kind of an off time, primarily because I wanted to purchase a bottle of their cherry jubilee whiskey. A wonderful product with a unique flavor balance. We opted to have a cocktail during our visit, and I was very pleased to say all the right mix ologies ingredients behind the bar. The bartender was efficient and got our drinks out to us in short order. I ordered the central Lake sour, and was pleased with both the presentation, and the complex taste. Prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Hope to visit again! read more

The Spring Into Summer cocktail was the perfect post-dinner cocktail. The strawberry and rhubarb vodka was light and refreshing. We sat outside and soaked in the nice weather. Their cocktail list is expansive with options that will please everyone. We all enjoyed our cocktails and would recommend stopping by if you're in the area. read more

Reached out to Phil about a going away gift for a co-worker. Not only was he able to answer all my questions, he was also reaching out and giving me updates since it was a time crunch. Can't wait to see the look on my co workers face, will always recommend mammoth distilling company. read more

Great drinks, great bartenders in a comfortable space. Gin and tonic cannot be beat! Hubby had an old fashioned which was good..the star of the show is the gin and tonic in our opinion! Ian, the bartender is so knowledgeable and always gives tips on restaurants to try. Great place to stop in! read more

Number 1: you cannot have a beer at the brewery and a drink in the distillery at the same time, so if you want whiskey and your friends want a beer, you have to sit in different rooms. You cannot even sit out on the patio together. We came in on a bus tour with 23 other peeps. We thought we had a confirmed reservation, which they said was the bus company's miscommunication. Whether we had a reservation or not, the employee (manager?) in the distilling area was extremely rude and kicked us out to the patio, which was waay nicer than the hot, dark, little room we were in. My drink of choice is usually a Manhattan, which I ordered with another person in our group. We both thought the drinks were undrinkable. They did replace them with different drinks, which were better, hence the 2-star review. My friends say the brewery was nice, but we all said we wouldn't come back because of the segregation and the rude employee/manager in the distillery. read more

We walked in the door, as out of towners, and were immediately met with an attitude...they wanted to put us in the back corner, so we just sat outside. Bartender clearly didn't want to serve us...she was short and have an "annoyed" vibe. Good drinks if you don't care about how they greet you...might be because we weren't from here. read more

Really good little local distillery with cool interior. They had a bunch of craft cocktails and you could purchase bottles to go as well. I had purchased a bottle of whiskey downstate and didn't realize until later that it was a Michigan distillery. The quality of their spirits is really good! The bartenders were friendly and explained all about Mammoth as well as the cocktails they were serving. There are a few other locations throughout Michigan as well, because I believe Mammoth was started at Torch Lake! read more

Suggested by our bike tour guide. Unfortunately for her, we were not welcomed. Handed menus across the bar and told to "sit in the back". Ugh. No. It's a beautiful day. We sat outside, one of our party went in to order our drinks. Drinks were good. Service yuck. read more

SO FRIENDLY service! Great drinks, amazing vibe. Off the beaten track a bit and so worth it. Give it a shot. Nielson & Ian are great behind the bar. Hope I'm not over sharing, but happy to "share" samples. Great mixologists! read more

Good people, good vibes, and good booze. Try a flight and find your favorite to make into a cocktail

Such a cool place to try some delicious cocktails! It's very dark and sultry which makes for a nice date night spot. I had a gin drink with blueberry that was just the right balance of sweetness and tartness. They have tasting available to sample their variety of liquors but I am not that brave! Overall, we had a great experience! read more

Terrible service on my one and only visit. Tried to order a drink at the bar but gave up after being ignored. Situational awareness should be a requirement for a bartender. read more

Came here with my wife & sons while on a trip up north and couldn't have been happier with the experience. We ended up buying 3 bottles, a single barrel 15 year whiskey, a barrel proof gin (that was amazing!) and a high-proof bottle of Hazmat. This was our 2nd stop of the day at a distillery for tasting but there was a clear winner and no need to go back to the other place. All the Mammoth spirits we tried were very good. Hunter, Nicole and Grace were some of the best servers I've had in a long time, very cool and polite, and they took the time to explain the different bottles and flavors. Even hooked us up with a couple free samples! Outstanding service and atmosphere. If you're looking for a good tasting, don't miss this place if you're in T.C.! read more

We stopped in on a visit to Traverse City. The live music was very good, but the place was pretty empty. Tried the $10 spirits sampler and we liked the bourbon the best. Ordered a couple cocktails. Would have been nice to have some type of small bites, or at least some pretzels or nuts to go along with our cocktails. Our bartender was friendly. read more

Not sure why it took me so long to make it here. The drinks were absolutely incredible. Got a flight of all the bourbons plus the coffee liqueur and all were some of the best I've had. Also highly recommend the Canadian tuxedo. I was able to purchase some walnut bitters at the distillery to try my hand at making them at home! Not quite as good but I'll take it! read more

Nice lounge ambiance. Varied cocktails. Live music. Good for small or larger groups. They don't serve food, but the brewery down the hall will bring their appetizers over for you. The Nachos are very good. Good overall. read more

Free vodka, rum, gin, whiskey, AND chocolate? I was won over before I stepped inside the door. Stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon with family. We happened to bike by and luckily saw a standup sign out by the road. It is easy to miss because it's tucked away off the beaten path. For now, they are just a tasting room with a full cocktail lounge set-up coming in the fall. You can try up to 4 samples and can purchase something from their "mocktail menu". I tried a sample of vodka, rum, gin, and whiskey (because why not?) and all were delicious. The gin has a very strong lavender note which was unique and tasted delicious with the lavender pear lemonade mocktail. The building has a very cool industrial feel and the employees were fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable about the craft. Definitely a place you can hang out all day at, and I will definitely be back next time I'm in Traverse City! read more

The ambiance is great. The bartender was very attentive and makes excellent drinks. The old fashioned was made to perfection. The Moscow mule was delightful as well.

During our last night in Traverse City, we wanted to stop in to try a craft cocktail. We enjoyed the place so much we ended up staying the entire evening. The staff were really great, super friendly and kept the drinks coming. We tried a few drinks on the menu but the standout for me was the Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot. It had a delicious spice, not too sweet. The atmosphere was fun, they had live music which we had a blast singing along with. Will definitely come back when we return to Traverse. read more
