If you decide to do a tasting they have a great variety for you to try that even includes vodka and gin. Their Christmas whiskey is especially very tasty as well. The tasting is very reasonably priced so it does not hurt the pockets! They offer cocktails on Saturday so that is awesome! You can't go wrong by stopping through!

The Christmas whiskey is limited time but it was my favorite! We also tried the vodka and gin which was cool because I thought they only had whiskey. I love gin & thought it was delicious. It had a slight star anise flavor but it was really delicious & wasn't overpowering at all. The bartender helping us was so kind and made it even more enjoyable. Inside is quaint and so cute. I'm not sure if they have cocktails but I'd love to go back and see. Such a fun place - they also have really cute tshirts!

If you're looking for a fun weekend date that feels cozy, elevated, and a little different, Weldon…read moreMills in Durham is such a standout. My husband and I visited recently for a bourbon tasting, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Our mixologist, Berkay, was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. He shared the history behind each spirit and walked us through the tasting notes in a way that was easy to understand and genuinely enjoyable. The food menu was another big win, especially as someone who eats vegan. They offered vegan options, which made the experience feel inclusive and well thought out This is a fantastic spot for date night, a girls' night, or celebrating something special. They also host tastings, cocktail classes, private parties, and bachelor or bachelorette events, which makes it a great option for future plans. Highly recommend if you're looking for a memorable experience in Durham that feels both fun and thoughtfully done.

We weren't even sure anyone would be inside Weldon Mills - thankfully they were. As you walk in it's just such a big space, lots of seating areas and visual interest. The bartender was very welcoming, and we think that he was happy to see us. We got our cocktails very quickly, and the bartender even explained some things about the distillery to us. We had such a nice time just relaxing and getting out of the rain. Sadly, I did not take note of the names of the cocktails that we got, but it is nice to see. They have a rotational menu. The drinks were fall themed. We will definitely come back!

You walk and you will see a sign with the businesses inside, most of them were closed during the weekend but Fair Game Beverage Company was open. It's a hidden gem in Pittsboro and they have a great place to taste their spirits and wine selection. They also carry local items such as bitters from Crude (located in Raleigh) and Larry's Coffee. It's a great place to taste and try new things. The staff is friendly and the tasting was great. The tasting was $5 and you keep a small glass that you do with the tasting.

We had a nice one night stay and the goats... are TOO cute!! OMG... We did make a purchase of a bottle of gin. We were unable to do a tasting as they had a big party in there but that was ok.

What a lovely surprise to find this gem tucked away in downtown Durham! I had heard great things…read moreabout their espresso martini, so when we finally visited, we had to try it. And, it truly lived up to the hype. One of the best we've ever had! I also tried two other cocktails made with their house-distilled rum and gin, and both were delicious and perfectly balanced. The seasonal menu is creative and reasonably priced, we were genuinely impressed. The ambiance is charming and cozy despite a bit warm inside (the AC was pretty weak), but quiet and tastefully decorated with velvet couches, exposed walls, vintage touches, and fresh flowers on each table. We had fun flipping through their amazing cocktail book collection on the shelf too. The bartenders were very friendly and offered us focaccia from Ninth Street Bakery to pair with our drinks for free, which was such a thoughtful and tasty addition. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and are so happy to see a micro-distillery thriving in the heart of Durham. Can't wait to return for an official tour and to sample more of their spirits!

Really fun cocktail bar- that specializes in rums! First impression- I called ahead to see if our…read moredog was allowed to sit on the outside patio, and they told me not only is she allowed, but we aren't allowed to come without her. That response will get a smile every time. Super dog-friendly, to say the least, both outside and inside. Outside has several tables under a covered area, and inside has a few couches (with tiny tables) and a long bar you can sit at. We've been a few times now, and the service is super friendly and helpful, every time. It's small and intimate inside, but we never have a problem finding a seat! I love that they have snacks you can help yourself to, in airtight jars at the bar (peanut butter filled pretzels, sour worms, etc). Also important to note- the inside is NOT air conditioned. We stopped in on a HOT day, and it's brutal inside, with cloth couches and just one small fan. Love this bar, all of their cocktails (wine available too), and all of the staff! Will be back (a lot)!!

Tours are $10 and are available each Saturday from 1-5 PM on the half hour. You get two generous pours of both liquors, gin and moonshine, and a short tour of their facility (it is a very small space). On the tour we learned that pine top is an old nickname for moonshine which was interesting. Pinetop shirts are available to purchase and so are home-aging kits (this includes an oak barrel and a bottle of their moonshine which is the perfect gift idea).

Okay everyone, if you haven't checked out Pinetop Distillery, you should reverse your plans & check…read moreit out!! This is the first local craft distillery inside the beltline in the Loading Dock in Raleigh (only 5 minutes from downtown)! It's a locally owned distillery that uses all locally sourced products from local farmers to spice up their distillation process. The tour is awesome too because Tom knows so much about the process & you can tell he's passionate about bringing these craft liquors to Raleigh. Also, I loved the little tastes at the end. Surprisingly I'm now a huge gin fan - thanks Pinetop! Admittedly I don't know as much about distilling moonshine or gins, but they've got it down pat! The gin doesn't have that strong juniper taste, and it's so smooth! The moonshine was great too, not too strong either... loved it. What's even cooler: they're making holiday bourbon barrels that you can age your gin/moonshine to impart the oak & sweetness into the booze to turn it into a bourbon.... who doesn't love a little DIY bourbon project?! Such a great gift for people!! I'm stoked to try it out :) Love their tshirts too! All in all, Pinetop Distillery makes some great products & their brewery is definitely worth checking out... you'll learn a little, taste a bit, and buy up to 5 bottles to take with you (without having to go to the ABC store)!!!

They're right next to Fiddlin' Fish and food trucks are outside regularly too. Prices are very reasonable, $5 Old Fashioned drinks on Thursday is hard to beat. Good quality, well crafted ones with good ingredients too. Their regular menu prices are quite reasonable too in proportion to the quality of the drinks you'll get here. Service has always been great when I visited, the staff are well trained and attentive. Its primary identity is as a whiskey/bourbon/rum establishment, but they do have some other options too. Would highly recommend if you like good quality whiskey or rum based cocktails.
