I absolutely love this place! My work and I come all the time and have a ball! The service here is 10/10 ! Tammy was amazing!!!!!! She seriously was so sweet and did such an awesome informative tasting. I absolutely loved it! My team will continue to go here forever I think! read more

We've been wanting to stop by this distillery for awhile and today we finally did it. The server was really awesome to talk to and she had some good reccs on drinks. I highly highly recommend the spicy cheese curds!! They were the best ever! The chicken patty and wings tasted and felt like they were frozen and that's why I took a star off. They were still good, but not my favorite. They let us walk around the back and check out the distillery. I thought it was so neat to see the BTS! Definitely check this spot out if you are in Anderson. read more

This place was so much more than we had expected! We thought we were just checking out a cool looking place and grabbing a drink, which is exactly what we did, but the experience was so much more! Starting with the welcoming greeting from Tammy who also served us delicious samples of different flavors of Moonshine. The cocktails here are like art work - a beautiful visual experience and so tasty! I highly recommend the Blood Orange Pineapple Fizz!!! You can chill out and have a great dinner or hang out with friends and play different bar games. The atmosphere is awesome! read more

The distillery is nice and family-friendly. There's two different sitting areas - the front and the back. We sat in the back which was good with kids as it was quieter. They were super busy when we went. You order at the bar and the handful of times I went up there to order the line was backed up to the entrance door. My husband and I had drinks and we all ordered food. The food was good, but we had to wait 45 minutes for apps. I wish we had been warned when we ordered what the wait time would have been. Otherwise, it was a neat place. read more

All-around great experience! Our party had two apps, two craft cocktails, two entrees, and a free beverage tasting with Tammy that's not to be missed. The duck bacon wontons were delicious and the spinach artichoke dip came with crostinis for a nice change. The Tiramisu White Russian was a holiday specialty but the Cranberry Winter Thyme was on the regular menu. The crust on the Bianca Flatbread was some of the best I've ever had, and the Sticky Chicken sandwich was super-tasty. You order at the bar, which is slightly unusual. The star attraction turned out to be the tasting of the Distillery's wares! We bought three bottles for ourselves/gifts. Great reuse of a historic building in Anderson, KID-FRIENDLY, games available, private rooms for rental, including a speakeasy! Support a great local business. (Only negative: music was a little loud.) read more

My husband and I wandered into Oakley Brothers Distillery when we were in Anderson on some family business. We had noticed the billboard on the highway and then happened to see it when we were in town. The staff are very friendly and knowledge and the ambiance of this place is fantastic. My husband, usually a scotch drinker, ordered a bourbon and said it's the first bourbon he really liked, and bought a bottle of it. I ordered a spiced blood orange hard soda and liked it so much I bought 8 cans to take home. This place is fantastic and I wish they had a location in Indianapolis so I could go there more often, but it's probably better for my health that they aren't close to me! This is a lovely little oasis and a great place to stop when you're in town. Highly recommend! read more

The food was good and the employees were friendly. My friend and I met there for dinner on a Friday night because we were told that the food was good and that it would be great place to catch up because it was not too noisy. Well one out of two isn't bad. The food was great however the place was noisy. At first the music was low but became gradually louder. Then other patrons came in and were noisy. So between the music and other patrons we could barely hear. Plus the place while nice on the inside looked a little sketchy. Also, there was not enough parking. So if I were in the Anderson IN area again I'm not sure if I would seek this restaurant out read more

While passing through town, we decided to stop by Oakley Brothers. It wasn't what I had in mind, but we still had a great time together! I found the drinks I tried to be a bit too sweet for my taste, but my sister loved her specialty martini. The highlight of our visit was the lovely lady who guided us through the tastings. She was so informative, and I ended up picking up a butter beer moonshine that totally took me back to my Disney World days! I might just have to swing by again if I'm in the area. read more

I'm not a big fan of marshmallow but the campfire espresso martini hits the spot with a good balance of coffee and sweetness. I also had the classic lemon shakeup which is similar to the state fair but for adults! Definitely a good drink for a warm summer day. The bartender was great and made a good recommendation. read more

Service was on the slower side. We were told to set in the distillery side. So it was also cold. I am normally on the warm side buy even i was a little chilly. Food was awesome though! May have been an off night for them. I will try again. read more

We love trying new cocktails. Tammy is always fun. The bartenders are the best! We like to sit in the comfy chairs and chillax with friends.

My sister and I stopped here on a whim after 3 pm on Saturday Aug 2. We didn't know what to expect. We had the best service and had the best drinks. The bartenders were so nice and helpful and let us taste a variety of their spirits. We were very happy with all the mixed drinks we had along with the appetizers. Highly recommend. read more

Having seen this places sign on the highway a while ago, I have been meaning to get here for some time. I finally made it this past weekend. The place did not disappoint. They have a nice cocktail menu, highlighted with some decent whiskies. I got the whiskey flight. For a small distillery in Anderson, IN, I was impressed with the whiskey. Well, except the chocolate whiskey, I didn't care for that one. The food menu was also good. We opted for the Gouda bacon burger. The burger was cooked right, bacon was crispy, and the toppings were fresh. The tator tots were crispy, which is how I like them. I will definitely be back. read more

You'd never guess this place is tucked away in what appears to be quite the sleepy town. The building on the outside looked cool and Inside was even better. They offer so many different cocktails and spirits and their prices are very reasonable. The staff was friendly and helpful-overall a job well done! We will be back! read more

This place was fantastic! The food was sooo good! We got the chicken bacon ranch pizza, cheese curds, kicken chicken sandwich and mini corn dogs! 10/10! Their website wasn't working when we planned our trip so I was not sure how it all worked! You order your drinks and food at the bar. We went around 230 on a Saturday so it was slower but I know others have said it could be a long wait so just be prepared! Bartender was awesome! Food came out separately as it was ready which i appreciate because it's not sitting under lamps. Definitely will be back! read more

New to us, Oakley Bros is it. My partner had the breakfast burrito- packed with eggs, veggies, cheese. Very good. Chicken and waffles- Norwegian sugar pearl waffles with hand battered fried chicken. Also very good. We had the Valentini and spiked hot chocolate for round one. Both so tasty- neither overly sweet and both just the right amount of boozy. Second round was a chocolate old fashioned- better than we expected and such a great balance of whiskey, orange and chocolate. Didnt think it was possible. Then we tried a shot of their clear rum- great. Taste of their pure moonshine- WOW. What an enlightened moonshine- and surprisingly sweet. Strawberry lemonade moonshine- great right out of the bottle to drink. The stunner was the Gin- best gin ive ever had. Good enough to drink straight any day. We went home with 6 new bottles and we will be back. Great food. Great drinks. Great vibe/service. What else can you want? read more

Oakley Brothers Distillery - Breakfast burrito, chicken and waffles, spicy maple syrup. Spiked hot chocolate, valentini, choc old fashioned. - Distilleries Near Me - Anderson, Indiana

Decent crowd on a Friday night, live music that we really enjoyed. Hard liquor is hard on me (ha) so I drink very little. We tasted several and thought they were good but nothing was my favorite/ take home. Just FYI, I started this review months ago, pre COVID, and they have been really cool during the crisis. They were handing out free hand sanitizer very early on, maybe as early as March. They were also one of the first to have food pick up. read more

Absolutely love this place every time we come. Friendly service and tasty drinks! We tried their Tuesday specials and they were great! The burger and chicken sliders were super tasty. We also loved the mini corn dogs. Then the old fashions are top notch. The laid back vibe makes it a great place to stay awhile. read more

Look..:everything here is good from the drinks to the food. The service is more what you expect at a bar but even then it's good! Did you know they also brew their own root beer? ...and it is fantastic!! Get the pizza. Any of them. read more

Ok, first off yumm...Can't say that enough about everything I had there..Drinks top notch and I am sure it's their own blend of distilled liquors in them. I had the pulled pork with jalapeños and pickled onions on it and it was a sweet tangy burst of flavor on a soft crispy bun...need I say more.. In town working and wanted something unique and upscale and this was the place... Definitely stop here if near.. read more

We had a fun night visiting Oakley Brothers. Very good mixed drinks with all their own spirits. They even have Delta 8 infused drinks (limit 2 per person). It was busy and they had live music. Our bartenders kept us supplied with drinks when we needed more. The best part was all the adult games they have back in the warehouse area. Darts, big jenga, board games, and shuffleboard!! If we ever go back to Anderson, we will certainly visit again! read more

I was taken here while visiting this week. It's very cute, I like the look from the street. We went in and placed our order at the counter. The attendant was so very polite, gave me a tasting and I started my tab. Beer was great, atmosphere was very nice, and chicken wings yummy jalapeño pizza was awesome. There are game tables, and plenty of seating. They offer daily specials as well. So stop by and check it out. read more

Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Mixed Drink: 5/5 Neat Pours: 2/5 When I see a distillery, my number one "must" is swinging in to taste the foundation of what makes them, them. My wife grabbed a mixed drink, had a lot of flavor, and was great. The food that was delivered to other tables, looked great! My negative comes in terms of the spirits. Upon nosing the glasses, they all smelled of the dish soap used, thus it was hard to differentiate the nose of the spirit to the nose of the cleaned glass. I tasted the Flyover, Sweet Wheat, High Rye, and White Rum. I came away with Sweet Wheat being my favorite and Flyover being ranked second. I was not a fan, nor was my wife of the white rum. It tasted like a mix of soap and wet dog, not a "pro" for my palate. For the whiskey connoisseurs, these whiskeys have flavor, but are obviously young. Ask for management: I'm not sure if my situation was a one-off, but the nose from the glass being primarily soap (assuming due to the dish soap) really affects the profile and created a negative experience for me in what I go to a distillery for, to taste spirits in their most natural form. read more

Oakley Brothers Distillery - Bourbon Flight - Distilleries Near Me - Anderson, Indiana

Came here for ladies night and the drink flights were incredible. A lot smaller than what they looked like in the advertisement, but the four mini jars were just enough! I've had the chicken here as well- superb! The waffles...not so much. It felt like I was chewing literal sugar. Just a little too sweet for me. The spicy syrup was a hit! Brunch hash is superb too! Didn't even get a pic! I have tried the flatbread pizza and it was really good too! read more

I'm not a big liquor person, so when my friends suggested this place I was iffy. But in fact this little slice of liquor heaven is rather awesome. Their tasting floor is bigger than I though upon entering with space for 50 people comfortably. The bar is where it's at though. The staff working the bar know their liquors and they are honest in their reviews. They take pride in selling quality drinks. Oakley brothers makes good staples like gin, rum and bourbon- but it's their experiments that make the visit worthwhile. On my last visit the bartender had us sample their pineapple infused gin and the apple cinnamon gin. As mixers they're good but I couldn't do the pineapple. They listened to my feedback and guided me to something more my taste- a house made apple-tini thing. It was good but after tasting a flight with their smoked bourbon, it was easy to talk me into trying their old fashions. The artisanship flew! First, they smoke/char a woodplank and capture it in your glass, holding in the flavors till your drink is mixed. Then swirl it all together with a flourish. The taste was sophisticated and smooth. read more

We met with a group of eight on a Thursday night. Each couple placed their order at the bar. When the food started coming out there were long gaps between food and everything was out of order. My wife's chicken sandwich came out so burnt it was near black. She tried to take a bite and couldn't even bite through it. I ordered a pizza and it was burnt on the edges but I removed the burnt portion and the entire pizza tasted like the oven shelf. It was disgusting. One couple both ordered smash burgers and what they got was a cooked from frozen preformed hamburger patty and both said it was not very good. Another couple ordered tenderloin sandwiches and both said the tenderloin was flash fried where the meat was done but the breading was soft and doughy. The folks working there were too busy talking with each other to pay any attention to the guest. They did tell my wife they would take her sandwich off. The replacement chicken sandwich had a horrible flavor and my wife did not eat it. They do not have wait staff so you are are on your own as far as making sure you get your food, utensils, etc. so more or less it's a self serve operation. The cook kept coming out to hang with the staff up front so no surprise the food was crap. Maybe a good place to get a drink but if you are looking for quality food go elsewhere! read more

Located on the north east corner of Jackson and 8th Street, this huge building contains a bar/lounge area on the south end and a game room/distilling operation in the rest of the space. You can stop by and pickup bottles to go or have the bartender make you a beverage with one of their house brewed spirits. During the week, there is street parking on the south and west sides of the building. Note that there aren't any signs that say anything about parking. If you are the first to arrive, it looks like you are just stopping in the street. (I hope they can get the city to put up some signs to help customers.) On weekends and after 5, there are some neighboring lots across the street that are available (south side of 8th St.) I heard two other parties ask the bartender about parking, so I know I wasn't the only one confused. Inside, the industrial look of the lounge/bar is a mix of brick and concrete. On the right as you enter is a fireplace with a large shark mounted over it. The bar is to the left where there is stool seating and additional tables. A menu behind the bar tells the pricing for the spirits they sell including whiskey, bourbon, agave, vodka, gin, and moonshine. There is also a list of house cocktails as well. I was greeted promptly and when ready, placed my order with the bartender for a Blackberry Mule. The drink was served in a chilled tin cup and was excellent. Not too strong, but with just enough booze to balance out the fruit/ginger flavors. It came with a wedge of lime as well. It seemed like everyone who came in on this Saturday afternoon was a first time visitor. That isn't too surprising since the business has only been open for 1 1/2 years. I didn't see any food items offered on the menu and I forgot to ask. The website mentions a menu is coming soon, but no date was listed. I am uncertain if they offer any tasting flights. I did not see any listed on the menu board. Overall, I enjoyed my first visit to the distillery. I will have to follow up on finding answers on my next visit. Review #2822 read more

Really good food. Gouda and bacon smash burger was very tasty. Believe it or not even the broccoli was excellent. Drinks are creative and I really enjoy their various whiskies. Only negative issues: The room is very noisy. It can be difficult to carry on a conversation. I wish they opened earlier during the week. I will return often. read more

I was in town and met with a couple friends, one of which recommended coming here. The atmosphere was nice, laid back and it was a busy place. On a side note-you order your food at the bar. Some people waited for a waitress to come to their table, so there was a bit of confusion. I ordered the chicken quesadilla and it was outstanding! I thought most chicken quesadilla's were the same, but this one was out of this world! My friends both loved their meals as well! read more

A group of decided on a road trip to this distillery located in the heart of Anderson. The building itself is beautiful and from what I hear there's a ton of history with the building. We visited in October so every employee was dressed in costume. Everyone I spoke to was friendly and patient as we decided on our drinks. I had a bourbon and dc and my wife had a whiskey sour that she enjoyed. I enjoyed my drink enough to get a second one (long pour). There's plenty of spots at the bar to sit and tables and chairs to get comfortable while sipping on a concoction during a cool fall day. read more

First time visiting with a friend for a drink. My favorite of the two drinks I tried was the blueberry smash. It was so delicious. The vibe of the whole place is pretty cool. I like how open it and that you can sit and near the tanks. We also got a small pulled pork nachos to share. I thought a small would not be enough for both of us but it was a healthy portion and more than enough to feed us both. I also learnt that Tuesday is ladies night and drinks are half price so that was a bonus. I will definitely visit again next time I am in Anderson. read more
