great outdoor set up for COVID times! The side panels on 3 sides of the area help for warmth on the colder nights, but still have great air flow. Cocktails are delicious and staff is sweet! read more

A+ experience at Short Path distillery. A two minute walk from Night Shift. Super friendly and knowledge staff. Great space. Awesome cocktails and merchandise! Hopped in on a Saturday afternoon to check it out. Was greeted with a tasting and explanation of their rum and gin. Sampled some great cocktails - one with their house made berry shrub! Light, refreshing and perfect for summer. Goldfish crackers accompany drinks for snacking. Left with a bottle of each. Looking forward to making Short Path a regular stop and keeping their spirits as staples of my liquor cabinet! read more

Went here with a large group of friends for a birthday on Saturday April 27, 2019. We did the public distillery tour which was very interesting and a good price. The tour guide Weston was really personable and informative. The tour gives three tastings- Gin,Whiskey and Rum. They make all of the alcohol, but they don't sell the whiskey at the location. You can find it at local shops though. They also made all types of things like Triple sec, Rossi and Ouzo. The end of the tour ends with a specialty drink. The distillery is not large, so the tour can go fast if no one has questions. The only down side of the tour is that you don't get to keep the glass that you sample drinks out of. This sucks because I've never been on a drink tour private or public that doesn't give a glass. As for the bar it's a medium size bar with basic concrete floors. They have a few high tables and some normal level tables with wooden chairs. They also have an outdoor area which is heated, I didn't go out there so I can't say how warm it was. The people out there still had on jackets and it was about 50 degrees and sunny so make your own judgement if you want to sit out there. The bar tenders are nice and they move fast. I had a fantastic mock tail for those of you who are on the wagon. Their alcoholic drinks are really good according to the other members of my group. The top ordered drinks were the Mauna Loa and Eastside. They don't have food, but you can order food in to the place. They have board games you can play. They get a extra star because they had the 24 game which is a game for nerdy people which like making math fun. Overall, I would come back if I lived here because it a small business with nice employees and a chill vibe. read more

Short path distillery is such a lowkey place and considering how small it is, I'm pretty sure they prefer it this way. Inside, you'll find seating at either tables or highchairs and on the side are some old looking breweries. The cocktails here are phenomenal and easily some of the best I've had in Boston so far. I went with The Northside, and it had the perfect balance of aromatics, sweetness, and alcohol. There are also a variety of boardgames/playing cards that are laid out for customers to play with. I will definitely come back here if I'm in the area again. read more

This place. Hands down one of our top must visit spots every time we are in Boston. We were visiting some friends around the area and walked over to this bar. Their rum is pretty strong, so if you aren't a rum drinker you may not be a fan. But their gin is the best we have ever had. We usually buy at least 3 or so bottles to bring back each time we visit and we have started getting requests from friends and family to bring them some as well. Their cocktails are spectacular. Hand made. Fresh Ingredients. And always changing and creative combos. The owners of this place are great. We love hanging out and chatting with them. The distillery pup's name is Webber and he is the sweetest thing ever. You get goldfish to munch on with your drinks and Webber will do drinks to get one. :) read more

Short Path Distillery - Seriously for the price and quality, best cocktails in Boston. - Distilleries Near Me - Everett, Massachusetts

I visited here with a few friends after work several times now, and I really love their simple, open-concept setup. When the weather is nice they have a great outdoor seating area where you can enjoy your cocktails an relax. As a bonus, you're right by the Teddie Peanut Butter factory so the air often smells like peanut butter cookies :) Speaking of the cocktails, they're excellent - all made to showcase their various liquors which include several different types of gin and rum. I recommend trying one of their seasonal takes on gin - they usually have at least one cocktail on the menu to showcase it. If you can't make it to their location, I've seen Short Path liquors in area stores for sale at competitive mid-shelf pricing. Give them a try! read more

Awesome spot between the Night Shift and Bone Up breweries. Not overcrowded and prompt service. Drinks were excellent - they do 4 styles each of vodka, rye whiskey and gin. The flights are fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the old fashioned flight. They have plenty of games and a real friendly, rustic atmosphere. read more

1/13/17 Now distributing these delicious bottles to your local liquor store! Seriously... check the list here: http://shortpathdistillery.com/where-to-find-it/ Haven't tried the summer, but the winter gin - with its rosemary-forward aromas - was DELICIOUS as a martini with an olive, dirty or not... And these also go deliciously with island creek oysters http://shop.islandcreekoysters.com/collections/frontpage/products/50-count-box (always invite a friend who can SHUCK. thanks, jroy!) ------ 6/28/15 Come to the distillery to enjoy a free tour, purchase some merchandise or a pretty bottle of the delicious product, or sip on one of 6 classic cocktails (only $8, 3 gin, 3 rum, see photo)! This old rubber factory has been modified to house this gorgeous gin/rum distillery, but please take a tour to best understand the process. Despite its size, the capacity is currently at 49. Tough to swallow since it could really take more folks. But the space is welcoming, parking is available, food truck present, bathroom, friendly founders, and as an added perk, is right around the corner from night shift brewery. Got a friend or family member who loves gin? Celebrate our local entrepreneurs and purchase them a bottle or two! The gin is smooth and very mixable or sippable solo. The rum packs a punch and makes a bold cocktail even more bold! Enjoy! Best of luck to my pals at Short Path! read more

Great cocktails but one of heaters outside didn't work . After asking multiple times about the heater that wasn't working , we were told that the heater is broken and there is nothing they can do about it . read more

Awesome selection of cocktails and a really relaxed and cool atmosphere! We had the old Cuban and north side cocktails and they were both great. I also love that they have a selection of bird glasses and that the logo involves all types of birds! read more

Drinks were fabulous - I was a big fan of the triple threat in particular. Definitely felt spread out from other parties, which is much appreciated during COVID. Service was slow and we never had our heat lamp turned on despite requesting it (but I figure this could be due to decrease in staff due to COVID regulations?). I docked one star because of the very limited food menu. There was only one item that my gluten free dining partner could order, which was disappointing. read more

I first went to Short Path just under a year ago after my sister wouldn't stop raving about it. So when my family and I visited Boston last October, she was quick to show off her favourite cocktail spot. Not only did our entire family enjoy each of their drinks, but the service was also incredible. They allowed us to sample each liquor, explaining all of the key notes and ingredients, and also gave us a tour of the distillery. Needless to say, we were feeling quite pampered. The distillery itself is small, although I just visited Boston last month and they had their recently expanded patio open, so expect to enjoy your beverage(s) in a more intimate setting. Everything is visible from the bar, you can sit and sip while you let your eyes wander, or poke around where allowed to see all of the equipment used to make their delicious liquors. Everyone who works there are very friendly, willing to give suggestions, and always happy to proudly offer samples. They have some of the best gin and rum I've ever tasted. Definitely try their seasonal gins if you can, they're unique and delicious. I'm not sure how parking is, we've always parked closer to Night Shift (just around the corner) and walked to Short Path. They're closed Monday-Wednesday, so be sure to double check their hours before deciding to go :) Overall my top choice for a fantastic, local cocktail when I'm in town. read more

I honestly want to make this spot a weekly hang out for my friends and myself! It's so fun, the cocktails and incredible with all home brewed alcohol, and the vibe is incredibly chill. They host events often from trivia to plant nights and the space is great! read more

Great place to grab a cocktail and pick up a bottle. The bartenders and the people running the place are very friendly and knowledgeable - they did a distillery tour for us. Fresh ingredients in their cocktails Definitely recommend trying out their triple sec and pommeau. read more

A great establishment with a great atmosphere!! The old fashion flight will not disappoint!!

I love Short Path! Awesome cocktails, really neat story (ask the founders why they started a distillery!) and the chillest tasting room. They rotate the cocktail menu every season, and their cocktails are always super inventive. read more

Did not even know this existed we stumbled on it on a trip out to night shift brewery. Their brand new summer gin is friggin delightful! They have a pretty mean ass cocktail list as well as offering samples of the gin and rum they make on sight. Tours were offered but I didn't take one. They even let us pick the next record to play. So hipster. read more

Really fun, and right next to night shift brewing (so bring a DD or Uber). Their gin is great, and they are so knowledgeable and give you a free tasting as well. Handcrafted cocktails like this would be 12-15$ at a bar, so great value as well. A bit hard to find. It is down a narrow alley. read more

Short Path Distillery - Old fashioned flight - Distilleries Near Me - Everett, Massachusetts

Went on a Friday evening with a group of 10 friends. There was a table large enough in the patio to accomodate all of us. Surprisingly, not many people were there on a Friday evening, but it just meant we got our drinks at the bar relatively fast. The cocktails were all very tasty, but on the pricier end ~$10. Good place for large groups! read more

Stumbled upon this place by chance looking for parking to go to a brewery in the area. Short Path is tucked away on a side street and you can miss it if your not paying attention. When we got there we were greeted and were offered to taste all of there house Gins. We went with the "bees nees " which was delicious. We went and sat in the outside area which had plenty of seating. Had food delivered and played some board games from there wide collection read more

Some of the best customer service I have ever experienced! The staff here are super friendly and knowledgeable about the product, process and the industry. As someone who knows nothing about distillation I appreciated the experience of visiting Short Path and speaking with the bartenders. Aside from the stills which look super cool the space has a rustic look, feel and even smell to it. The bar itself is made of some kind of a beautiful wood. Short Path distills rum and gin and you can sample both and order cocktails at the bar. I am not a gin expert but as someone who loves Bombay Sapphire I thought their Gin blew it away. Very distinct flavors and aromas. The Rum as also very unique in flavor. For a cocktail I ordered a grapefruit fizz with Gin, Cucumber, Tonic and Grapefruit juice. It was an amazing, refreshing, light tasting drink I would totally recommend. At $8 it's competitive price wise with local bars serving similar (albeit inferior) cocktails. The staff's positive attitude was infectious as I found other patrons were more friendly and talkative than people around here usually are. As a customer who is very service oriented I hope this becomes the new trend. read more

This place is awesome. Very intimate and the founders are super friendly and excited to teach you about their gin and rum creations. The tasting was great and the cocktails were superb. I love the no-frills industrial vibe and it's location off a alleyway in Everett (near Night Shift Brewery). I will stop in more frequently now that I know it's here. read more

cute place and really great service! The bartenders are very knowledgeable and the vibe is really chill with games and stuff. The cocktails are expensive (average $10 for each) but pretty strong. Really enjoyed the bees knees flight read more

Stopped in after learning that they had a summer gin with blueberries - blueberry and gin is a favorite combination of mine. Their summer cocktail is fantastic and shows off the rum well. I also had the chance to try drinks with their pommeau, ouzo, triple sec, and rum. True love! Highly recommend this distillery and their tasting room and patio. read more

We went to Short Path for the first time on a Thursday for trivia. The cocktails are great--and the bartender who makes them is impressive; she's efficient, fairly quick, and cool under pressure--and the interior is ambient and cozy. They allow food to be brought in or delivered, so we picked up a pizza from Main Street House of Pizza on the way in (if you're not driving, you can walk if you don't want it delivered) and that was perfect. Trivia was fun and I was jealous of strangers' drinks all night, despite loving the two I had. I look forward to going back--and combining the trip with Night Shift, which is a 3-minute walk away. read more

They make their own rum and gin and then make badass cocktails out of it. I am a fan of their high-end pina colada, as I am not really a gin girl (unless we are talking French 75s). They also do tours and teach you about rum production! Their gin doesn't actually have too much to it to be honest.. Made me want to drink the rum even more. They also have cards against humanity and other games! It closes pretty early, but you can always go to Night Shift for a beer after closing time! read more

Stood in line for 20mins to the BAR. Bartenders service super slow and letting others cut lines. They need better management of there bar and watching. If you have a line don't let others cut. Can't even speak on how their stuff is COULDN'T EVEN GET TO THE BAR TO GET ONE!!! read more

Great cocktails and fun flight options. There is outdoor seating for when the sun is out and plenty of indoor seating for when it is not. It's much larger inside that you'd think from looking at the outside. Definitely a cool spot to check out! read more

The patio is very nice but the drinks are dangerously good! The weather was great the day I went but even if it was raining there is covered seats. I'm not sure what was better, the Vintage Tea or the East Side. I am more than willing to go back to try them again. The staff was amazingly attentive and on top of things. A must stop if your looking for a great outside experience. On top off all this they are dog friendly! A win win for everyone. read more

This is easily my favorite distillery around. The staff is so friendly and the drinks are amazing. The drink menu is always changing, and offers a good variety. A little pricey, but worth every penny! Always get the old fashioned! read more

Love the gin but this is the LAST TIME going here. Understand that we're in the middle of a difficult time but if you are going to have reservations that are a 90 minute time limit then treat ALL reservations the same. We arrived on time for our 6pm reservation and there were people there before us, but apparently we are the only ones that they were kicking out at the end of the reservation. Not the people who came late for their 6pm time slot or the ones that had CLEARLY overstayed the 90 minutes limit set by EVERY RESTAURANT and taken a second table without asking. Also - a BARREL IS NOT A TABLE. Especially if you are required to serve food. Get a piece of plywood and put it on top of the barrel and create SPACE!! Or here's an idea GET A REAL TABLE. We asked for a larger table because we were ordering food but their reasoning was because we were only two people so they couldn't give that to us. Big surprise when multiple parties that came in after us had only two people and they sat them at a picnic table or the larger tables. And when we tried to finish our drinks when we got kicked out at our 90 minute mark, mind you NO ONE ELSE got the same notice, they said no sorry you can't finish the $50 pitcher you just purchased and got charged 20% gratuity on. Forget the fact our pizza we ordered took ONE HOUR to arrive from wherever they order from. I understand places are figuring all this out but this was beyond unacceptable how we were treated while others were CLEARLY getting preferential treatment. read more

Christine! So amazing, we just did a tour with her and honestly she made me like Gin which i have sworn off of since one bad experience. so knowledgeable, and fun! Can not wait to come back and bring family and friends. read more

Great experience. Friendly people, nice rustic atmosphere. It's neat to see the stills while you drink. Best gin I've ever had. The rum is average but not bad. I am excited for their future boutique spirits they will be making in the next year. Buy some merchandise while you're there! I highly recommend going. On weekends they often have a food truck outside or nearby. read more

Short Path Distillery - Enter! - Distilleries Near Me - Everett, Massachusetts

I love short path! What I love most about short path is the drinks on their drink menu are always changing to something so tasty and different, with using all their house-made liquors. Their alcohol is phenomenal and I love that they keep adding to their stock (they just started making whiskey). I love their myrtle and gins. The only downside is that their drinks have gone up in price, roughly around $10-$11 per a drink. read more

We randomly found this great place. such a wonderful atmosphere. It has a huge back yard with nice couches and chairs. I liked their cocktails. Staff were friendly and cool. Will go back for sure:) read more
