    Takes these home to enjoy!
    Alexis G.

    Went to visit for our first time so my husband and I could try a local spot. We arrived and Mike was so welcoming and so informative about all of his products. He let us try his award winning moonshine the flavors we tried were so smooth. We took home a bottle of whisky and rum. Can't wait to bring others to enjoy as well. Thank you Mike!!

    Go! You'll love it! Groupon or not, your tasting will be free if you buy some booze. And Mike's booze is awesome!

    I've been stopping by this tasting room for a while now, and after so many consistently good…read morevisits, I figured it was finally time to write a review. Every time I've come in, the atmosphere has been relaxed, the pours have been great, and the conversation has always been enjoyable -- to the point that I've ended up bringing home quite a few bottles over the years. The bartender has always been friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to talk through their offerings without making things feel rushed or overly formal. On one visit I ended up trying a whiskey made from beer -- something I'd never come across before -- and it ended up being one of my more memorable pours I've had there. That kind of discovery is exactly what keeps me coming back, and it speaks to the range they carry beyond the usual whiskey offerings and rye-focused selections. I can only speak to my own experience, but this has easily become one of my favorite local tasting rooms.

    We had a very disappointing visit this past Saturday. We were really looking forward to going and…read moregetting an introduction to their products and having the chance to sample some different options side by side. Unfortunately the guy working the tasting room wasn't really interested in us or the products but made us feel more like we were intruding on his afternoon. He offered no insights into the various products and instead focused on his problems with his wife and his outside interests. We went specifically to taste ryes and he insisted that they don't make a high rye even though when we got home we found a listing for their Cali Gold High Rye. He is doing a disservice to the distillery by continuing to work there. The place could be cosy and inviting with a different server.

    My girlfriend & I came here to their speakeasy, The Commodores…read more Thank you again to the worker who kept in contact with me to ensure that we got seated & arrived safely! & thank you to the bartenders who whipped us up some amazing, strong cocktails! We enjoyed all the gin drinks! Intimate lounge with a couple of tables, bar seating, & a couple of barrel tops. Cool sailor theme. Do be aware, the entrance is in the homeless population & there was a man posted on the door. Thankfully, the worker was able to get us through.

    Commodores club is a must for any cocktail lover…read more Probably the truest speakeasy feel of any bar I've been to. That is partly due to the unexpected location. It is deep in East village and there are quite a few people experiencing homelessness on the streets outside. You will get a text stating that parking can be tough and they recommend getting a Uber/Lyft to drop you off right at the door. We had dinner nearby so we opted to drive and park. We were about a block away and it wasn't the best walk but no one bothered us and the doorman got us in right away and then checked our reservation. Look for the big red metal door! Once you're inside you are truly transported to a nautical themed speakeasy which is serving their own gins, rums, and vodkas. It was incredible! My friend got the gin flight which isn't on the menu and it was great to experience the different botanicals and then try them in cocktails. Loved the experience!

It's $25 at regular price with no Old Fashioned (sad face), but holy cow was it deeeeeelicious! Get the peppercorn sauce. TRUST ME. That sauce deserves its own Instagram account. Seriously, bottle that stuff and call me--I'll buy it by the gallon. Omgeeeee yummmm. My friend's plate? Yeah... a whole different story. The birria was so dry, and no consomé on the side? Rude. Definitely wouldn't recommend or order it again. Also, shoutout to the lone ranger working the restaurant/bar. This guy was taking orders, mixing drinks. When he forgot our drink refills, I was like, "Dude, you've got enough on your plate." Poor guy was straight-up doing the most. Someone give him a raise. Parking was good for a weekday and ambiance was really chill. I'd definitely come again. Come check them out! You can thank me laters!

A friend at the table ordered the Zombie Cocktail from Sin Ship Spirits. It was 19.5% ABV but tasted delicious. Dangerous!!! Glad I wasn't drinking lunch that day... I would not have survived. Service was excellent and our food came out super fast. The indoor/outdoor layout made the place feel airy. There were tons of different seating options from bar seats, to booths, counters to stand at. Street parking wasn't too bad either. In addition to the great alcohol drinks, they had a self serve soda machine and a few other nonalcoholic options.

    My first time at Seven Caves was December 2024. We went to celebrate our friend's birthday…read more Seven Caves is located directly next door to Embolden Brewing Company. The signage is small so keep an eye out. The owner, Jeff, is a riot! We did a tasting that was curated by him and our love for libations. He makes all of his spirits himself. His distillery started with gin which is why I'd never been because I don't like gin for any reason. I would love to say that I remember the different cocktails that he whipped up for us but we drank a lot and that was months ago. LOL. I can say everything was outstanding! My favourite was this fluffy daiquiri ice (Baskin Robbin's ice cream I love) flavoured cocktail that was indescribable but so stinking delicious. When our tasting was done we all lined up to purchase bottles. I bought a bottle of rum which was my favourite libation of the evening. I've been told the maple syrup and the pancake mix he sells is a must to buy so definitely go check it out. Looking forward to our next tasting, Jeff!

    Yay! Had a great time here for a private tasting with some friends…read more Good way to try so new and explore a bit. Would definitely recommend making an appointment in advance and come ready to socialize and learn.

Thank you Jake for being an attentive and a great service to us, you knew we came for our free voucher and didn't belittle us nor lack your service. And comps to the chef because when you think of steaks at bars, it's typically a 50/50 experience. You don't assume top quality and cooked to perfection meals right off the bat; but at 619 spirits, I have no complaints. Well in honesty though, the chimichurri was strong in sodium after a few bites, but it still tasted great and had every drip of it lol and the steak was cooked as requested! And that's rare! And that's how I love my steaks- medium rare! It was top tier to my tastebuds! Cheers!

It wasn't too busy so we were able to walk in and seat ourselves. - PARKING - North Park is always tough with finding a parking spot but we just circled around until we got one walkable distance away. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - We were greeted promptly after sitting down and since we were waiting on friends to join, we delayed ordering but the staff was very attentive the moment they came in. After ordering we got our food pretty soon after. It's dimly lit inside but you can still see one another across the tables. They also have sports playing on the TVs. - FOOD - Honey Brussels Sprouts: Pretty crispy but it was slightly overly honey-ed for me. Some clumps had way too much honey and I felt like I was just getting a spoonful of sweetness. Wings: Standard chicken wings, but the Lemon Pepper Seasoning was way too heavy, so it was pretty salty for some bites. Fried Chicken Sandwich: Loved the tater tots - super crispy just like I like them! The chicken sandwich was just OK for me - the chicken itself was a little dry, but the seasonings were good. - OVERALL - Just an OK spot for bites and drinks. I don't know if I'd come back but if everywhere else was too busy, I wouldn't mind stopping in.
