    City Break cocktail: Acadia Gin, Triple Sec, Pineapple, Coconut, Lime. So good!
    Kelly O.

    I love everything about Short Path, so it's hard to know what to shout out first! Their spirits are first rate--my favorites are their London Dry gin and their wonderful Triple Sec (incredible orange flavor in a lighter, non-syrupy spirit). Their staff are terrific, friendly and helpful. The bar is a hidden gem, especially with the gorgeous new pine bar top (and tables!)--excellent cocktails (my favorite this time was the pictured City Break) and even cocktail flights to taste the different spirits. We did one of the tours this weekend, getting to see where the magic happens... and not incidentally meet Mash the distillery cat! (Tour includes a cocktail and the chance to taste a variety of their spirits before you head back to the bottle shop!)

    These are our gin flights!

    Stopped here after lunch for check it out. Great ambiance, an old manufacturing building that a once had a fire inside. It has been refurbished and still contains a few of the remnants of the manufacturing process and of the fire. The staff was very pleasant and told us all about the history of the building. Be careful if your not a hard liquor drinker, beware they do not serve any beer or wine. They do however have some mock tails that the non hard liquor drinker can have 2 of us tried their Gin Flights. They were a sizeable tasting of 4 different gins that they distill. My daughter in law had a mixed drink that she seemed to enjoy. They have a nice outdoor patio that if you can't prove you have been vaccinated you can use. Without vaccine verification you can't sit indoors. The staff all wore masks and they really made you feel safe while enjoying their spirits. On street parking is available.

    What an awesome distillery this is! I brought my friend and some of her friends here for her birthday. We did a tour/tasting. Let me tell you our tour guide was soo great! very interactive and knew what he was talking about. As I said we also did a tasting..before the tour started we had a choice of having a gin and tonic or something else.. Thoes were some tall gin and tonics let me tell you!! Then at the end of the tour we went over to the tasting area and had shots of different gins and other products that are made here. It was a blast and deff will come back! After the tour and tasting we stayed a little bit for a cocktail out in the main area. They had flights of drinks and my smores drinks. Great Great Place!!

    Bar shot with the awesome mixologist!

    Great drinks and EXCELLENT staff!! We are here visiting our son for Christmas in Boston. If you are EVER in Everett, Mass. you have got to stop by Short Path Distillery. They distill their own spirits and use only the finest mixers, fresh fruits and juices. There is a limited but adequate selection of food that they bring in from a local restaurant. An absolute must!

    Whiskey Flight

    Hidden gem located in an up and coming neighborhood! Area: Highlight being it consists of 2 brewery, restaurant and the distillery. If you go there you have many options within 3-5 mins of walk. Drive responsibly please! Parking can be challenging during some days and hour. Distillery: cute and nice patio. Will be back for the tour and their cocktails. Seating is ample and for now is also a great work place if visiting on a weekday. The libations: I was surprised to see so many options. Got the whiskey flight. Each one tasted good but need to mature a lot. Felt a bit more sharp to the tongue and the flavors not developed fully. The bourbon spoke about being peaty however I couldn't taste that. The gin might not have that problem and will try that next. No gin martini though on the menu. Maybe I'll ask next time. Definitely will be back for their cocktails as they not only looked great but the bartenders were really making it with care.

    Great place for cocktails and lots of outdoor space! I ordered a cocktail with their gin, lime, fig, and pomegranate...so delicious! Fruity but not too sweet. The prices are reasonable and they also have food options. Parking is available on the street and can be hard to find.

    Excellent Gin. Cocktail list is well curated. Enjoyed sitting at the bar on our first night outside Boston. Bartender was informative and just lovely.

    Drinks outside!

    I've been here twice and have had delicious drinks both times. The bartenders are friendly and will let you sample the booze before you make a decision. I've tried a couple rums, most of the gins (yay, summer gin!), the apple cordial (Pommeau), and even the Ouzo. Yum! On my latest visit a couple weeks ago, I tried to Blueberry cordial which is made with the leftovers from the Summer Gin. It was thick and delicious! I almost bought some, but then I tried the Pommeau and was sold! I bought a large bottle for myself and my boyfriend bought one for his parents! We had 3 drinks each (one of my "drinks" was the bees knees flight). Woooeee! That bees knees flight was killer. They make their regular Bees Knees with their main gin, but I liked the London Dry version even better! I'm glad I got the flight. I previously got the gin and tonic flight and Bees Knees was better (though get both if you can - two great ways to try their gins). The bf doesn't even like gin and he got 2 gin drinks and loved them. I like that you can bring in food here. You can sit inside or outside. Take the tour if you can (I did the first time I visited and you learn a lot and get to taste). Also, Night Shift is right down the block. How can you not go to both!? An afternoon or evening well spent in my opinion!

    We had a great time and would highly recommend it. We got the Negroni and Mule flights. I personally like the Negroni better but they were very generous with the alcohol on these flights. The staff was very friendly and it's a pretty cool looking distillery.

    A salad that we were expecting to be half the size off of the price
    Joe H.

    Holy smokes the food don't sleep on the portions for the salads here. Drinks are great and staff is super fun. Dog friendly with outdoor seating. Can't say again the good portions were such a surprise for the price can't miss this if you are near by

    Bushel and a peck pitcher
    Derek B.

    Haven't been here since Covid started - just as amazing as last season! Reserved ahead for 3pm on Sunday, it was fairly empty with only a few tables full. Ordered Bushel and a peck cocktail pitcher - absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. You have to order food with your drinks here per MA regulation, their offerings are made fresh across the street at a local pub. We ordered buffalo chicken pizza! You can order by the slice too. Salad is another option.

    The flights were a fun and yummy way to sample a good mix!
    Joyce W.

    It's off the beaten path, but a great gem! My friends and I stumbled upon it (because of Yelp) and loved the chill ambiance + simple menu. On a Friday night, there were a couple of people there, but otherwise pretty empty. Sidenote - there's an outdoor patio area with fire pits that would be great once life warms up in Boston a bit more! We tried 3 different flights: gin+tonic flight, daiquiri flight, old fashioned flight. All were super tasty and generous in serving. I also appreciated the diversity across the flights as well as within the flights. I'll definitely be back: for the flights and to try the rest of their creative cocktail menu!

    I went with a group for a tasting ($10 bucks each to try gin, triple sec and tequila!) and had a great time.

    This was our last stop on our tour of 3 distilleries in Boston. We were a little disappointed,…read moretruth be told. First, it's tricky to find. You have to walk down an access road that goes to the back parking lot to get to the entrance. They did have some banners at the entrance but that was odd. They have some food offerings that were pretty good and we tried a flight of most of their drink offerings. There were a couple of good pours, their New Medford rum and Addendum B whiskey were particularly good. Ambiance was lacking. The place caters to the late 20's - early 30's grunge crowd (or at least it did when we were there) and that's not us. The loud metal music and non-stop cursing by the bar staff and most of the patrons ensures that we won't be back. They do sell many of their spirits online, so perhaps check them out.

    We wanted to try something different on a Friday evening. We RSVPed to their tour and tasting that…read morewas a relatively new concept, according to the employees. Once we were dropped off by our ride share company, it looked a little sketchy, but the entrance was in the back. There were a few people there, but come to find out, they were all there to participate in the tour and tasting. I didn't see but maybe 2-4 people who were there that weren't part of the experience. It has a really nice intimate dark feel. Good for date night or small group experience. We had sips of different spirits, I personally couldn't finish them all. Some because of taste that didn't mesh with my tastebuds, other reason was it's straight up liquor- I wasn't trying to get get wasted. It's a decent amount of liquor. Overall, it was something different and something to do while visiting friends in town. The staff was really nice and informative, overall, I probably won't do this again, as tasting liquor isn't really my thing, versus a wine tasting, but glad to have tried it nevertheless.

I had the grilled octopus which was delicious and tender with a Mediterranean flair. I took a side of garlic broccoli which could have been cooked just a little bit more but was delicious. My wife had the fish and chips which I stole. A little bit of the chips were the best I've had. The fish was delicious. Of course we had to have a traditional old fashioned smoked which was quite a treat. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive. Funny and welcoming.. but what really killed it was the ambiance and Old Stone building with beautifully appointed decorations. It was a place that I would love to spend more time in. If you're ever in the area, we highly recommend it.

With that we ventured to Glen Pharmer. The day was freezing and I could only get reservation outside in the covered bridge which would have been adorable with the water bubbling down stream underfoot had the weather been better. We decided to saddle up at the bar rather than brave the elements. The decor is cool - industrial meets hipster meets country. Lots of wood and copper. There was a lone tv in the corner of the bar playing the NCAA women's lacrosse national championship which was a welcome change of pace from the showings at most sports bars. The bartender was very friendly and very quick to mix drinks. The downside is that they DO NOT serve any alcohol they don't make so the mimosas were out but we did find a cocktail we enjoyed with gin, lavender, honey and lemon. The Bloody Mary had great accompaniments but the tomato mix was a little lackluster. The food was well prepared. The huevos rancheros had a good variety of ingredients and the flavors were perfect together. The tortilla underneath was a bit difficult to cut through but once it got a little soggy from the egg yolk and beans it was easier to break up. The sunrise bowl was the perfect amount of veggies. Purple potatoes were a nice surprise along with a vast array of things like broccoli and zucchini. The Benedict with crab cakes was moist and had plenty of crab! It's a bit heavy so go for it if you're really hungry otherwise you probably can take it home. Food prices were reasonable for the portions given and the quality. Drinks are creative and well made but remember you're not getting mimosas at this joint!
