    Tyler giving tour
    Diane M.

    This place is so fun! It is an intimate place with a few small tables and a cozy bar. The staff is not just knowledgeable but enthusiastic I what they do. We took a 85 min tour yesterday hosted by one of the master distillers. The education and tips were very insightful and educational. Tours can be booked in advance for groups up to 20 people. Tyler- the new owner as of last year, does a good job of thoughly explaining how he crafts the small batches of rye, whiskey and vodka. Some spirits we saw in the barrels are still aging their three year term to be enjoyed. Fun fact:the barrels cost $500 new. Yikes! We had the pleasure of tasting five different spirits. The smoky honey bourbon was my favorite out of the five. Rich, smooth and a tad sweet! This is a unique idea for a family, friends or coworkers to do for an entertaining activity.

    I've been to Adventurous Stills in Tempe before but had not done the tasting tour yet. We were there with a group of friends and scored the last tasting of the day. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I must admit I didn't get his name since I was at the back of the group. We sampled quite a large variety of spirits (vodka, whiskey, agaves, etc.) some of which were smoky and or cask strength which made for a special tasting experience. They have a nice little setup for such a small distillery but they sure do pack a punch with pretty much everything they offer. Everyone seemed to have a favorite with some that overlapped while others had specific tastes that piqued their interest. They do have a happy hour and they seemed quite popular with the Tempe area locals the night we were there. I am not aware if there was any food being offered (snack or otherwise) but there were enough people there that I didn't get to linger in any particular spot for too long to get a chance to look more closely. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming and extra helpful too! They helped us take a group picture by the casks and smoothly took care of all of our orders with such ease! We currently have a small collection of spirits from Adventurous Stills to which I'm sure we'll be adding to now that more people in our circle are aware of their wares. If you're thinking of checking them out, go ahead of stop in for a drink or sign up for a tasting! They'll help raise your spirits!

    This place is off the beaten path and a cool place to have a drink a sample different liquors. They make killer bourbon drinks and a delicious Sazerac. You can grab a bottle of what you like when you're done.

    Wow. They offer a very wide variety of bourbon... whiskey... rye....gin... vodka..rum....agave.....come in and do a flight. Well worth the visit. Small place with lots of options. Adventurous distillery and Outlaw distillery are one and the same. Come in and see Borka for an adventure.

    Love this place! The bartender, Borka, is always so welcoming and friendly. The drinks are delicious. They have merchandise for sale too. I love their logo and products. Definitely recommend!

    Visiting Adventurous Stills can be a little confusing at first because it is located in a business park. But once you step inside, you will find an extremely laid back but fun place to relax and have a good drink. Adventurous Stills is an award-winning small-batch local craft distillery that is located in Tempe that started in 2015. Their spirits are produced from grain right inside this building. They offer tours on the weekends and have a fun membership club that includes exclusive benefits just for members. Hand-crafted cocktails can be ordered in the tasting room with happy hour on Fridays from 4pm-6pm. I learned about Adventurous Stills from a fellow Yelp Elite (Christina) who also works here. It's a fun crew behind the bar that knows how to make a good drink (love my Old Fashioned). The owner Kelly is a great guy and very passionate about the process of making these spirits. The atmosphere is pretty chill here. Bring some food and hang out in the tasting room with some other cool folks who just want to drink a great local spirit. In addition to to-go bottles, Adventurous Stills also sells merchandise like shirts, flasks, and glasses.

    Very small distillery off the beaten path with everything made on-site with ingredients (other than the agave) from Arizona. We took a distillery tour and got to taste several different kinds of their liquors. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and hilarious! The vibe in the tasting room is very down to earth and lowkey. The bartenders served up the drinks quickly and cracked jokes with everyone around the bar having us feel like we were all friends. The cocktails we ordered were delicious as well. Highly recommended checking this little local gem out for a chill evening.

    Adventurous Stills was truly a great find! Don't get me wrong, I don't take credit for finding it... rather that goes to Christina and our awesome Yelp team... but this was a great find! The location is a little off the beaten path... but once you find your way here, then you will be grateful you did! Every hour is terrific at Adventurous Stills but Happy Hour is my favorite time there with some wonderful discounts on their cocktails that the bartenders craft oh-so-skillfully! And the cocktails are where it's at here -- I dare you to find a drink that you don't like - they're all so damned good! It's really a cool environment altogether... from the front seating area with the bar as the main focus along with a few tables and other seating areas... to the back area where the magic all happens - with their distilling machines (that's my totally generic way of describing it... sorry) and barrels of delicious (or soon to be delicious) spirits! The owner offers tours every hour or so... and I would recommend you spend some of your time taking a tour. This is one of those local five star gems that we are lucky to have so close to home! *****FIVE STARS*****

    Ooh La La Lemonade. This drink is delightful! Butterfly pea tea and lemonade? Yes please!

    Established in 2015, Adventurous Stills is a small-batch distillery based in Tempe, Arizona that handcrafts premium award-winning whiskey and spirits using traditional methods and modern innovation. What an amazing local distillery! They truly have a line-up worthy of turning heads. The vodka is ridiculously smooth and the gin especially is intriguing. It doesn't have that Christmas potpourri taste with that over-powering juniper bite. They use a different blend of botanicals and it's amazing! It's also a gorgeous golden color that looks like that beautiful Arizona sunshine captured in a bottle. Yelp Elite Christina M. works here so make sure you say hello when you see this lovely lady! Stop on in for a good drink and take a tour if you can.

    We bought a bottle of whiskey at a Home Show in January and finally did the tour today. The employees are awesome and the owner is extremely knowledgeable and did an awesome tour! We learned a lot, enjoyed the tour and tasting, and bought 3 bottles, 2 tee-shirts and 2 tour tickets for our son and his girlfriend before leaving. They have an awesome product, but are off the beaten track and just need people to show up and support them do they can be successful! We drove 45 minutes for this tour and will definitely be back! Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon!

    Super cute!!
    Maggy B.

    Super cute little place that we happened to find by chance! They give distillery tours every Friday and Saturday for $14, no reservations needed. The bartender was great and accommodating (I can't have any sugar, so he made my cocktail with the sugar syrup on the side)! Tour is super informative and nice to learn about the process and also you get to drink!!!

    I'd like to schedule a tour and tasting for Saturday, 11/25. There will be 3, (maybe more once I tell my relatives) What should we expect ? What are the costs?

    You can find details about the Tour & Tasting (and register) on our website at adventstills.com/tours. Hope to see you soon!

    Saw that Absinthe-Minded was distilled here at Adventurous Stills. Is Absinthe/Cocktails available in the tasting room/?

    Yes, they have the cool absinthe glasses (which my husband will be disappointed I don't remember what they're call). They also make cocktails with absinthe. And you can buy bottles there as well!

    Do u deliver cigarettes?

    Sorry, no.

It's not the nicest place per sé, but they have a good selection and don't over-charge. They could, but don't. Their employees have a pretty good knowledge of booze/suggestions, but if you want expert knowledge, go down the street to Top's. Normally I utilize them if I'm on my way to a party and not terribly sure what to bring and I don't feel like getting out of my car. I don't give them the full 5 stars because during one drive thru trip, some idiots ran out and stole cheap vodka. I feel sorry for the employee whom it happened to- it was during a shift change and she was momentarily by herself and trying to help me out at the same time. Kinda threw me for a loop that the store would only have 1 employee on-hand during a weekend.

A weary traveler arrives and sits down at his favorite bar--Bottleshop48, located at 3318 S McClintock Dr, Tempe, AZ 85282, in the Aldi shopping center. He orders a crisp glass of Bottleshop Water, known to the regulars simply as "water," and rests for a moment as a film begins to play on the main TV. Brad and Angelina appear. It is Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the acclaimed 2005 action/comedy. A small tear rolls down his face; finally, he will be able to enjoy Mr. and Mrs. Smith from start to finish. Finally, his life will have meaning beyond the crude dionysian pursuit of wine, women, and song. Today, he thinks: "my suffering will end: I am free from the banality of the world outside, with a full 2 hours of action/comedy to enjoy, cold drink in hand, hale companions to my left and to my right." But this man was mistaken. Instead a challenger appears--a man from the wrong side of the tracks, a man bent on ruining our hero's uninterrupted viewing of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Shockingly this newcomer requests the TV remote. He brazenly downloads the Sling Freestream app on the TV. He scrolls through the Sling Freestream app's numerous free ad-supported options and chooses--impossibly--Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the 1975 comedic send-up of the grim circumstances of the Middle Ages as told through the story of King Arthur and framed by a modern-day murder investigation. Our hero protests meekly, in earnest: "but I was watching Mr. and Mrs. Smith." "Oh sorry," the upstart pretender responds, surprised that someone would be so interested in seeing the end of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Does our hero challenge this cruel usurper to fisticuffs for the TV remote? No. Does he chuck a beer at this sadistic lover of classic British humor? No. Does he strip naked and dance atop the bar in a lewd manner to assert his dominance over the TV? He does not. A man of peace--a true lover not a fighter and a known Ryan Gosling look-alike--our hero grits his teeth and accepts the excruciating truth that he will see no more of Brad and Angelina on this night. He simply pays his tab and exits into the freezing late April air, never to know true happiness. Never to experience complete extasy. Never to see the end of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

At this point, I wouldn't recommend the delivery option--there's no way to know if you'll receive damaged or unusable products.
