LAMBERTVILLE: Today's "soup of the day" is bourbon, and we could not have picked a better spot than The Distillery At Lambertville!
If you are looking for a dog friendly destination with beautiful ambiance and expertly crafted drinks, this downtown gem is a must-visit. They distill their own bourbon, whiskey, gin, vodka, and brandy, all available for tastings, neat pours, on the rocks, or in a lineup of creative cocktails. Our favorites included the Jersey Jam-Ella Martini, Lambertville Lemonade, New Hope Old Fashioned, and especially the tasting flight that includes six spirits for just $5! The Single Malt Peated stood out, crafted using Florida peat, and we love that they prioritize local ingredients whenever possible. Even the vintage newsletter-style menu adds charm that fits perfectly with the town's historic vibe.
Owner Jeff brings incredible energy to the experience, personally ensuring guests are well taken care of alongside his fantastic team. A world-renowned master blender, he travels globally in pursuit of exceptional spirits, and it shows in every sip.
We spent hours relaxing in the tasting room, which blends warm lighting, rich colors, and artistic barrel-wall accents. Large windows brighten the space while still keeping that cozy, moody feel.
Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome (with water bowls provided), and you can bring your own food.
Fun fact: Kaiyo Japanese whisky is reportedly a favorite of Al Pacino, and you can find this special blend only in liquor stores. read more
