We absolutely loved it! It almost has a dark, speakeasy feel to it, especially if you are lucky enough to grab a spot in the little side room off to the right like we did. We went cause we were looking for somewhere to go late. We got there about 10:00pm and they were still crowded. Probably understaffed for as many folks were there, but the bartender and her assistant did a fantastic job keeping folks taken care of. Ni election of cocktail styles using mostly their branded spirits, plus a few others. Their banana rum and their tequila I thought were very good I started with their Smoke & Honey which is a smoked cocktail using their tequila and ginger beer and I really enjoyed it. We will definitely visit again next time we are in Charlotte. Cheers!

Fall bar menu

The bar is such a quaint space. The fall menu was recently introduced and I'm glad we chose to stop by for post dinner cocktails. I had the bourbon pecan pie with the candied pecan rim. Great conversation with the bartender and other patrons. A lot of the cocktails are made with the Murto Made liquors distilled on property.

Banana split with their housemaid, bananas, Foster rum

Had a great time at Murto Made Distillery in Huntersville. It's a small speakeasy that was hopping on a Friday night. We sampled several drinks, including the banana split with their housemade banana foster rum as well as a gin Mojito. The drinks were well made and delicious. The staff and bartenders are extremely friendly and helpful with drink selection. The ambience is nice for a few friends to get together or a quiet intimate evening for two. We will definitely be back! Thanks for a wonderful time.

Definitely a hidden gem in huntersville. I don't give this place enough chances even though I live 5 mins away. Brought my Gf here for some drinks because she likes liquor and those "fancy drinks". We were impressed by our bartender which was knowledgeable and friendly. Every question I had for him, he knew the answer to. We enjoyed the "winter" menu even though it's spring. The menu is changing to their "spring menu". If you're looking to "get away" and try something new definitely recommend coming here. The vibe is similar to a speakeasy. They distill their own vodka, tequila, rum.

The drinks were splendid and the whole vibe of the place is awesome. Real small and intimate with a small crowd. Eat before you get there however there is no food needed in this place. Great for a meet and great on a date.

For starters it's a distillery: Happy hour starts when the white liquor exits the still on its way to the barrel and every hour after that gets a little bit happier as the product ages. Tasting room has a comfortable parlor feel, plush seating and woody woods. Still in NC so bottle purchases are regulated, shirts and sundries can be had by the truckload. Vodka has been running for a while now and recently the boys have applied their hand to the lower still-proofs and complex character of corn whisky. If you show up Saturday afternoon you can have a look around and see how it comes together. Not a super complex tour but highly informative; I especially like that groups of one are acceptable. Fun fact: reduced volume to surface area ratio in smaller barrels reduces the time needed for flavorization. Jon and Kurt are a couple swell fellows and seem willing to chat if you have something interesting to say.

The bar

This place is so great! But, fair warning, they are not following regular hours at the moment, so…read moredefinitely try and call before you go. But, the owners were absolutely fantastic! It is a small space in a very hidden location (just follow the signs once you park) and the tour is more informative than anything else. Where this place shines is their product, and let's be honest, you didn't come to learn about the distillation process, you came for the booze! They are so generous with their tastings and everything they make is incredible, but the amaretto is where they shine! Their prices for bottles are also very reasonable and you get to keep the shot glass as a souvenir. Plus, Chris, and especially Rick, are so congenial and you can swap stories with them for hours! They are doing a release of their new bottle design, so stay tuned!

My bf and I recently visited Dragon Moonshine during our anniversary after finding a great deal on…read moreGroupon. WE HAD AN AMAZING TIME! We were immediately greeted by one of the owners, Chris. This man has such an amazing story! We learned so much about the spirit making process. You can tell he knows his stuff! He answered all of our questions and went into details on how every machine works. What's even more amazing is that he and his partner self-taught themselves how to do this. Genius. To top it all off, we got to taste their rum, amaretto, and apple pie moonshine. Our favorite was the amaretto, which we bought for $24! We even got two shot glasses. I love how everything is handmade from start to finish. Come and bring your friends - ask questions - you'll come out learning so much (and slightly tipsy) lol.

They…read moretruly deserve being the face of the charlotte area whiskey. 1st entering, you walk into a small area with a gift shop area, bar area, and small separate sitting area on the first floor. The small sitting area also houses their original small still they currently produce their gin in. Pretty cool piece of history. So about the juice...They're really got some good stuff. You can do a curated flight for 10 dollars each pour, you can also do single pours of whatever they have available as well from their core products to the single barrels. I really love what they're doing with the "Story" line where they experiment with different finishes and blends. I'm not a huge rye guy but they are certainly doing it right. That says a lot for me to grab 2 to take home of their rye single barrels..my bartender was so cool and knowledgeable I even grabbed the one he actually picked. Overall 10/10. They're giving the bigger names a definite run for their money. You will not go wrong supporting and drinking local with them. Hands down the best in the charlotte area. They do offer shipping but, you NEED to go in for the full experience and the option to grab distillery exclusive bottles. #Foodierunner approved lol

It was a scorching hot North Carolina day in April when we arrived for the afternoon tour at…read moreSouthern Grace Distillery. We had paid in advance and made it just in the nick of time to join our group of about a dozen people. The crowd was a mix of adults and children; personally, I didn't quite understand the presence of kids on a jailhouse and whiskey tour, but the group was ready to dive into the history. The tour kicked off with chilling news of hauntings. Our guide mentioned that the show "Ghost Hunters" had even visited the site, certifying the old jail as haunted--though fortunately by "friendly" spirits. The sensory experience was a bit of a rollercoaster. I generally enjoy the scent of bourbon, and the initial aroma upon entering the distillery is quite pleasant. However, the main room where we spent a significant portion of the tour had a scent that was overwhelming and wholly unpleasant. That said, the content of the tour was good. It provided a well-balanced mix of intriguing historical facts about the prison and the technical side of whiskey making. The kids got restless during the tour and actually started brutally kicking each other in the shins. They each had on shell toed Crocs, so you could hear the crunch of bone and flesh beneath each kick. Their parents let it go on indefinitely. The hour passed quickly and was well worth the $14 adult admission. The tasting at the end is not for the faint of heart. They serve hard liquor, and I do mean HARD. My lips were numbing and my face was next. I had to tap out after the third swig! On the bright side, the gift shop is fantastic. They have the most darling items; we walked away with two tote bags and a delicious pink lemonade drink that will be perfect for sharing with friends this summer. This is a unique, affordable way to spend an hour, provided you can handle the heat and the high proof!

Very cute and quaint. Ashley conducted the tasting for us. They had the flights and I had a lemon drop. We then sat in the heated tent to finish our drinks. There was a food truck as well. City cookout I believe was the name, we orders chicken sandwiches and then wings. Everything was good. They were having a live band that night. They also have a cigar lounge. I forgot to get picks of drink and my friend's flights. Maybe next time. But there will be a next time for a visit. Any whiskey and bourbon drinkers and lovers make sure to stop by.

When I walked in, I let the bartender know we were hosting a group and he directed any newcomers towards our area. He was also very helpful in helping me navigate the drink selection and shared with me that they had an onsite food truck that was open. Unfortunately the weather was pretty toasty, but they had a tent space that was unoccupied with two small fans, so we moved our group in there. Towards the end of our visit, I had a chance to chat with the event manager who gave me her info in case we wanted to try and reserve the indoor space for future events. Overall, I could tell that they passionately cared that all their guests have a great experience. When you walk in, it is clear that they want to make everyone feel welcome and included.
