The bar!  It's great.
Wink B.

Our first stop here. We loved it. Wanted to make a stop here just to see and taste the offerings. We had a blast. Cathy took such excellent care of us too. The tasting was great. Shine Girl has a nice variety of exceptional shine flavors plus their take on Rum and Vodka. Nothing but great atmosphere and flavors. We also tried some of their signature cocktails: the Shine-a-Rita - Cathy's way; the Stubborn Mule and the New Fashioned! Loved them all! Of course we left with some bottles and merch, because we could! The vibe and hospitality here is off-the-hook. Do stop in if you're in town. We'll be back when we come this way again in the summer!

Off the beaten path with unique moonshine flavors that you won't find anywhere else. Their cocktails are reasonably priced and tasty. The bartender is friendly and helpful if you're undecided. The place itself is pristine and charming.

I wasn't impressed too much. I expected moonshine and it was all different vodkas. The bar drinks were good and very friendly service but just not a fan of vodka. The stars are for the service and the bar not the alcohol.

Great little find! Such a gorgeous, well thought out space. Absolutely LOVE the pink! We walked in and were greeted by the nicest people! We were offered a free moonshine tasting... who can say no to free?! Of course we couldn't! We were given so many flavors! Can I remember how many?! I blame the moonshine, but it was about 9 flavors. The coconut and red velvet moonshine flavors were my favorite! Not only can you try the flavors straight up, you can order cocktails. We ordered cocktails post samples and they were fabulous!! Everything was way too cute, so had to shop it up! Got a few shirts, coffee mug, and moonshine. Winning!!

Lovely spin on moonshine flavors that aren't similar to the other distilleries. Purchased a few bottles so friends back home can sample and hopefully visit when they go to Tennessee.

The best two favors IMO

Such a hidden gem in the Smoky Mountain area with a great story! I love the concept of "girly moonshine" and that concept carried through to the space! The flavors are unique and exciting. The sampling is free and the moonshine is smooth and delicious. You can also get cocktails while there.

Tater was amazing with his presentation and provided us with an amazing customer service! Danielle was epic with ravishing personality as well as taking time to taking a selfie with me! Love this place!!!

The Danielle!! So delicious!!!! 100/10

The moonshine was awesome and they were not trying to charge you a high price like everyone else does.

We stopped in here on our recent trip to the area as it has an outdoor dog friendly patio option…read moreand we were traveling with our Frenchie. It took a bit for our server to come acknowledge us but once he did, he was very helpful and attentive. My boyfriend ordered a peach Kentucky mule (they originally said they couldn't make that, which we questioned with it being a distillery, but our server came back and said they could after all). He enjoyed it and said it's one of the better ones he's had! We both ordered smash burgers and sweet potato fries - I had the junction 35 (pimento cheese + bacon jam) and he had the farmhouse (bacon + fried egg). Both were amazing! Juicy burgers, perfect size patties for smash burgers, the buns were fresh and held up nicely, and the toppings were great. Sweet potato fries had a great crunch and were seasoned really well. Service was great, food was high quality and had great flavor, and the dog friendly patio was perfect for our pup. It's located in a nice little strip of shops and restaurants, and has a common area of cornhole and other games that would be fun for an activity before/after dinner, or if you have kids in tow. We'd definitely make another trip here when in the area.

No wait. Service was quick. Food was good. Server was wonderful…read more Parking lot is tight and small. We had to circle a few times to get a spot. I got a side salad with tots and cheese. The bigger salads were monstrous but delicious.

The vibe here was unmatched--fun, lively, and just an all-around great atmosphere. What really stood out was the staff. While the deals were consistent across all locations, this was the only one where the team truly took their time with us. They explained everything in detail, made the experience feel personal, and got us excited to continue the scavenger hunt to the other locations. Their energy and enthusiasm made a huge difference and turned a fun stop into a memorable experience. If you're planning to visit multiple locations, start here--you won't regret it!

We chose the one where you get to try all of their available moonshines for $8 per person, so my mother and I decided to do that. The tasting itself felt very rushed and hard to keep up with. I wish they had taken a little more time to explain the flavors instead of just handing them out quickly and moving on. The employee helping us didn't seem very enthusiastic and gave off the impression that she didn't really want to be there that day. On a positive note, the inside of Ole Smoky Moonshine was very clean. They wiped down the counters after every tasting, which I appreciated. One downside for me was that you couldn't choose which flavors you wanted to sample -- they just served whatever was included in that tasting lineup. I felt that was a disadvantage because I don't want to buy something if I'm not sure I'll like it, and there were a few flavors I was hoping to try that either weren't available or just aren't carried at that location. I did enjoy the deals they had going on, which honestly caused us to buy more than we planned -- but the offers were too good to pass up. We ended up getting the cooler that came with two mini six-packs. I do wish we could've chosen the free sixth flavor ourselves, but I wasn't too upset since I did like the butter pecan. Still, it would've been nice to have more choice. When we went to check out, I still needed to pick three more flavors and asked for recommendations, but the employee didn't give much guidance and just said to get whatever I liked. I understand they were dealing with a very busy time, and she did mention that, but I wish there had been a little more enthusiasm and helpfulness overall. That said, the moonshine itself was good, and the tasting experience was enjoyable enough that I would definitely do it again. It convinced us to purchase moonshine that same day, which was a win. Overall, the experience was decent, but the staff interaction could have been much better.

Wild bill was our tastemaker for the Tennessee Shine moonshine and his flare was very unique, I thought I was at an auction which each presentation sample he was about to pour. I even like the pickle juice which by this time I needed between pours. It helped reset my palette. I like the Bloody Mary Mix, crème and lemonade. Big Sexy was our tastemaker for the wine side. He setup our taste where I got to signal once all pours were complete, "Bottoms up"! It was so much fun! Nevermind that this wine including the warmed drink was tasteful, sweet and no ill aftertaste. We purchased TSW Chocolate Cream, Rocky Red Flat and Pigeon Forge Blush. Our tour also included a moonshine operation demo by one of the bartenders. It was educational of course. Such a great time was had!

We decided to do the sampling at the recommendation of the 2 staff members there. We bought the sampling option $5 per adult, 8 samplings per adult not bad, for what you get. We went to the bar area and told to go to a kiosk to get tickets. We went and got the tickets, went to the bar, and stood there for a min, didn't get helped and the sampler server got summon to help a group of about 10 people wanting to do samplings. He left the sampling area, not acknowledging us, or setting us up before leaving. He was with the group for quite some time before we gave up went to the cash register, asked for a refund, and bought our bottles and left. I fully understand being understaffed, and having to juggle, but being ignored not even acknowledged, pass.
