I remember drinking the pear vodka cocktail in 2022 and was so happy to see it on the menu when I returned this year. The vibe is low key, friendly and very comfortable. We snagged some bar space during the event and our bartenders were friendly, welcoming and were very knowledgeable about the different liquors and distillery. Shout out to Tina and all the mixologists. My favorite one is the pear: pear nectar, ginger beer, pea vodka and cinnamon. I also loved the lychee cocktail. If I had ubered, I would have tried more sadly. They don't serve food but you are allowed to order in and there's even a pizza place right across the public entrance. You can park across the street in the municipal lot for free. if I lived closer, I'd be at the Garden State Distillery a lot!

We were a bit undecided at first (as to whether or not to sit outside) yet the staff was polite all the way. Once got finally decided on where to sit, everything went smoothly. I ordered an Arnold Palmer (I didn't see the alcoholic drink menu until later, yet next time I go there I might get one or possibly two). I also ordered the crab cake special and also the pei mussels. (The Busboy took the broth away as I was still dripping the garlic bread in it, yet no biggie). The bathrooms or at least the men's room was plenty big. Yet it was a little messy and there was no toilet paper in one of the stalls. Yet everything else was good/great.

There is plenty of street parking, as well as a nearby lot with four hour parking. My girlfriend and I visited on a Friday evening in August. They have lots of seating both inside and out. I was very impressed by the selection of beers on offer: a whopping 26 beers and one hard seltzer, all despite the small size of the brewery. The variety was impressive as well. I've been to a lot of NJ breweries, and I saw a lot of beer styles here that I rarely, if ever, see at other places. This included a Japanese rice lager, an ESB, a white stout on nitro, a black lager, and a red wine ale. The real standouts for me were the Bluecoat (blueberry blonde), the Bayonet (honey stout on nitro), and the Red Headed Vixen (aforementioned red wine ale). My girlfriend and I each had a flight and a full pour, and we loved everything we tried. We live over an hour away, so we can't be regulars, but definitely hope to come back someday soon.

My girlfriends and I stopped by to pick up a few bottles of (overpriced) wine and were greeted by Dustin, the establishment's visibly drunk manager. He invited us into the bar area to join his party, bragging that they had a "big podcaster" coming in to openly discuss "Jew Corruption." These exact words came out of manager Dustin's mouth. It's appalling how normalized and casual antisemitism has become. Red hat or blue hat, it is completely unacceptable for a manager of a business to use their position, or their place of business, to promote hate speech and subject paying customers to vile bigotry. Shame on you, Dustin. Shame on your "party", and shame on this establishment for keeping someone like this in charge. I will never support this place again, and I urge these NJ neighbors to take their business elsewhere.
