Distillery tour
Stacey C.

Switchgrass Spirits is a whiskey and bourbon distillery located in St. Louis. They recently opened up their distillery for tours and I decided to do the tour and tasting today. Tickets can be purchased on their website for $10 and the tour lasts roughly an hour. Since I went on the tour, I also got 10% off their bottles when I purchased at the end of the tour! The tour itself felt very awesome! It was a small group of about 10 and the experience felt very intimate. Our tour guide was well connected with the owners of the distillery and gave us a history of how they founded the distillery and their alcohol making process. Our guide was knowledgeable as he was fully able to answer any question that was thrown at him. When we got to the tasting, we were given generous pours of 10 or 11 different products. Most of the products were bourbon, but there were a few whiskey and brandy options. They are a newer distillery but have quite a variety of products and definitely something for everyone. The tour guide even gave us recommendations for which products he would use for cocktails and which products he would consider sippers. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who likes bourbon! The only caveat is that the building is located in a rougher part of town. The general tour and tasting experience however makes up for this for sure!

This place is fantastic! What a great group of people and some great whiskey/bourbon! Here are some facts.. Some background: Switchgrass got its name from a native plant! It's predominantly invested in by women. Their operation resides in Wellston, Mo. in an old American Legion hall. Fun fact: Switchgrass got the law changed in Wellston to "you don't need a liquor license if you make your own alcohol." Deviant bunch you know. We like a good disruptor. Ok... some whiskey info...80% of whiskey barrels are Missouri white oak barrels... 51% corn for it to be a bourbon; the bourbon I liked had 24% wheat if anyone is looking to buy me a gift What's whiskey? Answer: Whiskey is beer if you put it in a still. What's a brandy? Answer: Brandy is cider if you put it in a still. Now we gotta find a group to do the Mo Spirits Expedition

Pretty day for a patio! We went at 2:30 and it was busy, but not packed. Our waitress, Jessica, was…read moregreat and took good care of us! We started with the crab cakes and chili wings and had salmon and steak frites for our entrees. Everything was really tasty and the drinks were perfectly refreshing. Highly recommend the sangria! The inside area is pretty small but the patio is large. They have it nicely set up with a relaxing fountain and lots of shade. You can make reservations online via open table too, so that's helpful during packed hours.

When my wife invited me to meet her in St. Louis for the first time, the first spot we stopped at…read morewas Square One. We sat there for hours as I enjoyed a few of their beers and she sipped vodka. It's been a favorite place for us to visit when we come in town since then. We have been for brunch and drinks here and there, but this time was our first lunch. The beer list is diverse and very good. I haven't had a bad one yet, and I've tried anything from IPAs to seasonals. The burger with BBQ also did not disappoint! The fries are some of the best I've had in STL. I did wish there were more of them, but it's probably best for me to not have an endless amount. Every time we have gone, the servers and bartenders have been attentive and friendly. We have gone in the middle of the afternoon and late at night, and always enjoyed the company. Usually we sit at the bar and make friends with fellow drinkers. The outside area for brunch is also very enjoyable. It's one of my favorite patios when the weather is nice. There are many good establishments to visit at and around Lafayette Square. For a meal or a drink, I can't recommend this place enough.

This place is underrated. Went in a bit underwhelmed but I learned so much from the tour guide and…read morebecame a lot more impressed by the end of it. They have a whole library of alcohol with all their different flavor testing and experiments and it's really run by a tight knit group. The alcohols I tried were punchy and unique, and the ambiance grew on me. Definitely going to go back and try out their cocktail Fridays!

Gin is my favorite spirit, but before doing a tour with Still 630, I had never tried it neat. Now,…read morethanks to visiting this place, I only want to drink my gin straight up. And by the way, the gin they're making here is amazing. They have a few different gins, but my favorite was Volstead's Folly, which is juniper forward with a bit of pine. I love a good botanical gin, and this one was perfect. Another spirit that stood out that I tried was the Big Jake, which is a whiskey with natural coffee flavors in it. I had never tried anything like that before! I don't know if I could down a shot of it, but I could see this being a good addition to an espresso-flavored cocktail. Anyway, the tasting portion of the tour was my favorite, of course. We got to taste three different spirits of our choosing. But we also got to see the small distillery, and we were taken to the back where the barrels were. There's not a whole lot to see because Still 630 is a small operation. But the owner was friendly and funny, so he made the tour well worth the trip.

If you go to Bluestem Distillery and do not have fun, something is wrong with you. The staff is…read moresuper friendly as is the other patrons. When you come, it is one big party. Everyone mingles and gets along. Bluestem is a vodka distillery in Meadowbrook, but everyone says it's in Bethalto. It's close enough, to count. The distillery is located in an industrial type building, but once you enter through their door it is as if you are Dorthy stepping out of your house in Munchkin land. The difference is like going from Black & White to Color. They've redecorated the inside with amazing lighting and big screen televisions. The bar has been expanded and resurfaced. They have a variety of signature cocktails, but I am a creature of habit. When I am at a vodka distillery, I have to enjoy a Martini. Stephanie the bartender, who is also one of the owners with her husband made me a fabulous one. She made it skate and served it with Bleu Cheese Stuffed Olives. It was so refreshing, I had to have two. In addition to the vodka, Bluestem also makes a gin and a coffee liqueur called, Early Warning. EW is made with Bluestem vodka and Old Judge coffee. Old Judge has been roasted in STL, since 1858. It truly is a local brand. Bluestem will be celebrating 10 years in April of this year. That will be one celebration, I do not want to miss. The distillery is dog friendly. So bring your well behaved four legged friend. When: February 14, 2026 Why: Valentine's Day - Celebrating with a friend.

My rating is for the rumor I'm hearing about discontinuing the "specialty" cocktails! Bartender is…read moreamazing with many of his drink recipes. It's what I go for. I hear that is going to stop and orders must be made from the posted menu. Such a shame. I truly hope this doesn't happen!
