My sister and I came for a tour on Saturday and I am sooooo glad we did. We arrived about 10 minutes prior to the tour starting and we were quickly greeted by the owner (Tyler) as he brought us the drink menu. It was pretty busy so we stood to the side. When ready, I ordered a ooh la la lemonade and we served ourselves some cold water. The bartender was friendly as she took my order and made my drink pretty quick. The tour started a few minutes later and lasted a little over an hour. The time went by fast as Tyler kept it fun, informative, and engaging. I learned a lot and walked away with some good brewery knowledge. We tasted several spirits and two were my favorite. There was a vanilla flavored one and a cinnamon one... cant remember the names, oops. We ended up buying the vanilla flavored one and I cant wait to use it! My ooh la la lemonade was delicious, not too sweet and not too strong. I had a GREAT time, this place rocks! Thank you! read more

I totally recommend taking a tour here. I learned a lot from the owner and how he operates his business and how everything is ran. We were able to try more then a few samples and I also bought a bottle for home. It was a great time! read more

Major update :) The distillery and bar that you may already know and love as "Adventurous Stills", has undergone a transformation and is now known as "Outlaw Distillery". Outlaw Distillery originated in Utah with Owner, Tyler Halstead and his beautiful wife Alexis. Over the past year there was a change in ownership and Tyler acquired what was at the time, Adventurous Stills in Tempe. This place has been a long beloved distillery to locals and visitors alike, making exceptionally good spirits and having a very welcoming atmosphere along with great staff, and a super fun whiskey club. A warm welcome to Outlaw Distillery and I wish nothing but success, as the two entities merge into one. If you've been to Adventurous Stills before, you will be happy to see that the whiskeys and other spirits that are distilled on site from grain to glass in small batch format will continue to be exceptional products, and they have some new things coming out but it's no longer branded Adventurous Stillls. I'm excited to see what fun and creative things happen with the new ownership and change, and as long as the whiskey and booze stays delicious, I'm here for it and will continue to be a big fan. Cheers all! read more

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. read more

The bourbon here is wild! It is so interesting and such a unique experience. The honey bourbon was my favorite but the part of Outlaw Distillery that stood out to me is how much pride and joy the owners take in watching you try their spirits. It is the best local bourbon I have had - full stop! Keep up the great work! read more

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! read more

Both the rum and the various bourbons are very good. Small tasting room but great service. Usually get to meet someone new to talk to.

Small tasting room with excellent whiskeys. The cocktails were excellent and my flight of bourbons and rye were all unique and quite tasty. I left with a bottle of their Barrel Proof Bourbon which is superb. The lady who served us was knowledgeable and very friendly. The owner/distiller came in and he was very informative and added to the experience quite a bit. Well worth a visit! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I got to experience Outlaw Distillery at a recent event, and they have some of the BEST local bourbon/whiskey I've ever had. It's so smooth and the flavor is absolutely delicious. I can't wait to tour the distillery with my husband! read more

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***** read more

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. read more

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!

I was getting a gift cad for Christmas. Borka was great! Vey helpful for all the questions I had.

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!!! read more

For a new experience sure, it's cute and something new. It's a small distillery hidden in an industrial building area the staff is nice. The tour guide was great and informative, but keep in mind very small distillery very small samples however! It is still cool to see, but I will say for us the whiskey just didn't hit the spot unfortunately. They have an affordable Groupon for this and for like $15 a person it is totally worth it.... If you don't end up, loving the whiskey, like us. read more

What a amazing brewery!!! I bought a tasting and tour for my boyfriends birthday and he loved it!!! What a delightful place!!!! We were a walk in and this hole in the wall was just phenomenal!!! No reservations weee needed for the tasting tour or for the bar. It is a small venue so the earlier the better When we arrived shortly after we began our tour. Our tour leader was phenomenal and super friendly and knowledgeable, answering all sorts of questions. No food but the drinks are smooooth. We had a smoking whisky that had a interesting topper that they light on fire in-front of you! The Ambiance/environment is laid back, friendly and a wonderful little watering hole. Special offers like Happy Hour are abundant here. Many options deals and opportunities to see then out at different events. Not a bad word to say about this place. When you go make sure to follow a gps because it's kinda in a area you would not expect to find such a gem!! read more

Such a good time we had at this place. The staff were absolutely marvelous. I started off with an old fashion made with their own whiskey, 90 proof amazing taste. I got a tour of the facility where they distilled all their spirits. Kelly made it very interesting, he's a knowledgeable man and seem like a really nice person. After the tour I went back to the bar and order a whisky smash. That one was my favorite! Recommended for a happy hour, 6$ drinks! You can't beat that in Tempe. Or just simply for a fun night. Go get yourself one of their bottles for Christmas and support local business read more

I had a great time at this tour and tasting Elite Event. The tour was very informative and the complimentary samples of their own gin, rum and whiskey definitely enhanced the tour! I selected their Cosmopolitan as my main drink and really enjoyed it as well. Owner Kelly is a really cool guy and it's great this business is offering locally made spirits including vodka,gin and rum not just whiskey. Community Manager Bailey was on hand and did an outstanding job organizing and running the event. AS also offers bottles of their products, delivery and caters private events. It's easy to get to with ample parking in an industrial area which is nice because there's no annoying rowdy bar street scene in the area. This is a great place to go for couples, dates and birthdays, special events. Highly recommended...just remember to use a designated driver that won't drink or get a taxi/ride back because you'll probably want to drink more than you expected because their spirits are superlative! read more

When quality meets passion, you get an amazing distillery with exceptional liquors. This distillery produces vodka, rum, gin, and three different whiskeys/bourbons (possibly others, although I only tried these ones during a tasting tour). The liquors are very smooth and can all easily be enjoyed neat. The distillery is in the back and up front there is a small bar and lounge area. The most notable liquor to me was the gin. I was expecting it to not be enjoyable to drink neat (name a gin that is!) and I was surprised when I was very wrong. If this isn't an indicator that this distillery is of the highest quality, I don't know what could be. All employees were very kind. Kelly, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable about his craft and this passion is reflected in all of his finished liquors. I will most definitely be recommending this place and visiting again in the future. read more

This bar and distillery is located in an industrial/office park area near Tempe Marketplace. There is plenty of parking due to the quiet location. They specialize in whiskey, but produce many other liquors as well. They have limited hours each week, so be sure to check their website before stopping in. We thoroughly enjoyed our old fashions perfectly crafted by the talented bartender/distiller. They have tours in the evening a few days a week, so come early and get a drink to sip on during the tour! read more

Ugh.. was planning to do a tasting today..initially tasted their whiskey at art show and my wife was going to treat me to a tour, etc for my birthday.. Ordered online.. hopefully we get it read more

Came here for a tour for my birthday. The Groupon was a fantastic deal, but the tour was even better. I've been to other distilleries, and they are bigger and a lot more showy. However, this was much more informative and the liquor was very tasty. I'm not a huge vodka or gin guy. I usually stick to the whiskeys. This place won me over. I fully expected to leave with whiskey, but the vodka was unlike anything I've had before. Pro tip....come early. They have a great happy hour. The staff actually likes their jobs, so it make it even better to go because they actually care. read more

While visiting a friend in Mesa I was treated to a tour of Adventurous Stills. The tour was informative and the sampling was a tease. I found myself buying a four pack sample and an adult size bottle of their Agave. I was overcharged for the Agave but didn't realize it until the next day while checking my online bank account. With no receipt I was sure I wouldn't stand a chance of receiving credit back to my account. A timely response to my email addressing the situation was answered. The next day I received credit back into my account. I'm not sure how many businesses would have handled this situation but I can say Adventurous Stills did me right! I will visit it again when I return for another visit. S. Rucker read more

This is a really neat little stop! When we got a groupon for a distillery tour, I wasn't sure what to expect. Adventurous Stills is located in a nondescript building, with a front tasting room and a large backroom where they make all the spirits. The tour took about 45 minutes with an opportunity to try six of their different spirits (in small communion cups, no less, haha), and you can tell that they're really passionate about their craft! I enjoyed learning about the process of distilling, and getting a chance to appreciate and sample different types of spirits side by side. Adventurous Stills seems like a group of people who like the art of distilling as a hobby and happen to make money off sharing what they enjoy with others! As we went with our tour, it was clear they embraced the natural surprises and discoveries of unexpected flavors that come from distilling and is so in line with their brand. We took home a bottle of Peralta Bourbon to enjoy later, too :) The front tasting room is cozy and light-filled, with a friendly and knowledgeable bartender and, of course, high quality spirits. It feels like a neighborhood joint, and I could easily spend a few hours here unwinding and chatting with a friend over good drinks. We really enjoyed our time here, and recommend this gem to beat the heat in Phoenix! read more

My partner had just found a list of all the distilleries in Arizona while we were hanging out at a restaurant in Tempe, when he realized that one just happened to be only 6 minutes away from us. When opportunity knocks, you've got to answer that door, so we quickly made that drive over to check it out. We popped in for a drink and a tasting, to get an idea of what they were all about. Our bartender was incredibly welcoming. He made us The Smash and an Adventurous Rye Old Fashioned, both of which were really really good. After going through the tasting, we ended up going home with a bottle of the rye, in hopes of recreating that Old Fashioned until we get a chance to stop in once again. read more

Everything I've had from here has been great. I'm more of a whiskey person, so take that into account, I suppose. I don't think there's a LOT of difference between vodkas, so that's a potential prejudice on my part. I drink mostly their barrel-aged offerings. Beyond the product, the people here are very friendly and excited to talk about what they do. Their Peralta Bourbon is as good as any off-the-shelf, name-brand version, and, I'd argue, better than most. They're not afraid to experiment, too: a whiskey that uses mesquite for a truly unique AZ expression? Yes! And it is very interesting. It "tastes like camping" is what a friend of mine said. Their Blue Corn whiskey at cask strength will hold its own against any mixer you throw at it, but is complex and tasty on its own, too. I'm not here all the time, but I do enjoy their locally-created, quality products. Plus, you can sample the wares in cocktails at their shop on weekends, so, in essence, try before you buy. I do wonder if they'll consider a barrel-aged gin. I've got some from a distillery in WI that used Chardonnay barrels and the results were amazing... read more

I bought $100 gift card for $80 on the MyHownd app to this place. I wanted to pick up some whiskey for my husband for his birthday. I went in expecting to just grab a bottle or two they were so friendly there. One of the owners insisted we take a tour since I was going to spend $100 today. He let us taste anything we wanted and explained everything to us. We ended up buying four bottles. Labels are all local things and really fun. Tasted great and make a great local gift!

Being a desert dweller inevitably comes with an unquenchable thirst. When Groupon puts out a deal to take a distillery tour, you snag it up! Tucked among the industrial caves in Tempe, Adventurous Stills is the best find. You'll be greeted with sunshine and cocktails from LaLa. LaLa seriously whips up a killer cocktail - my faves being the White Russian and Vodka Mojito. We pretty much ordered everything on the menu because you can't go wrong with any of the choices. Chase, who is one of the owner/partner, will personally give you the Discovery Channel tidbits while offering you samples of their vodka, gin, bourbon and whiskey. You won't be bored because the tour is quick yet thorough. If your liver managed to survive, you can try the 140 proof moonshine. Not a fan of gin, however, the smooth flavor was a surprise to the palate. I love love loved the bourbon and prices of bottles were really affordable. I can't wait til their barrels age more and what flavor profiles arrive. And if you can't get enough, they are now being carried at TotalWine. Come back and bring visitors from local and out of town, drinking buddies, and even entourage of day drinkers. Who can resist? If you can't be happy at least you can be drunk and you will be in a good place at Adventurous Stills! read more
