Also every single person on staff is absolutely wonderful.

Had a great time here with some friends. It was stand up comedy night which was a nice little…read moresurprise. Service was fantastic. I'm not a whiskey or bourbon drinker, but i saw they had a bottle of Zing Zang behind the counter and asked about what drink they use it for (because I didn't see one on their menu). The young lady made me a Bloody Mary with a Tajin rim with whiskey and it wasn't bad at all. Not something I'd really choose to get again, but I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because the bathroom was kinda gross. Toilet paper was all out, trash can overflowing with paper towels. Urine all over the seat. It really wasn't clean at all, granted, it was towards the end of the night and all, but still, the no TP thing, as a woman, was a little uncomfortable. I informed the young lady behind the counter and she apologized. No biggie, just make sure you check the TP status before you squat ladies.

They showed us such a great time by samples of their products like Bourbon, Rum and Vodka from their product line, fresh pulls and than to top it they made us a batch of Old Fashions we could add our fav garnish too. I helped that batch dwindle fast. :) ..To add to the event there were great horderves to soak up the sampling of high proofs we had.. after some great meet and greet discussion we received a detailed..passion filled tour of the office..the lab and of course the distillery.. They not only produce their own products lines but assist other brands in filling and packaging. I have visited alot of distillerys but I learned alot here from Tim Daniels the owner and previous Bacardi Brand distiller who is a scientist and knows alot of History of spirits and production of them. Alot of secrets shared but you will need to visit to find out what they are. :) They are located in JAX north and I have not heard of them until now and am so glad to Todd @ Riverside Liquors who planned a fun event and memorable evening for us.

I was not really able to partake of the samples being tasted -- 'cause someone has to drive! -- but everyone else was very impressed. And we got a couple of bottles to take home.

Also loved the fried chicken and hoecakes. Amazing. The drinks had a bit of variation between bartenders. They were all good though, so no complaints. It's a little bit outside of the "party" area of town but still walkable and completely worth it!! We ate at quite a few places and this was the stand out.

We always run out to Grey Matter Distillery in Mayport to check out their themes, so of course we…read moremade a plan to stop in for Pink Matter. I think this might be one of their more under rated themes. If not this, then their retro them for certain. It's almost hard for me to write about their cocktails nowadays because they're always so good. I went ahead and attached a LOT of photos to this review of cocktails from the past several themes they've done as well. I just love the fact that they always have real craft cocktails, not just a minor twist on something that they're charging more for. It's worth noting that they always offer Mocktails and THC infused drinks for the non alcohol drinkers. We didn't try as many things as we usually do but we REALLY liked what we did get a chance to try. Off the top of my head, I'd say the Cabana Boy was my personal favorite. That's the whiskey sour that comes as a pairing in the Twin Palms special. My wife liked everything enough that she didn't have a favorite. If you haven't been to Grey Matter Distillery; go check out this theme because it's a good one. Then make sure to keep on eye on them because I'm guessing their Retro Theme will be coming back next and I'm always excited for that one too. A version of this review originally appeared in the Jacksonville Fun, Eats & Drinks Facebook group.

They make amazing themed drinks and really put effort into their seasonal menus. The bouncer needs to chill out and get off his power trip, "I'm not just letting people in the door, I'm bouncing, don't be the first person to get bounced tonight, I'm serious." He said to a lady simply trying to follow her friends through the door because she hasn't been paying attention. Edit: the owner reached out and assured me that the issue with the bouncer has been resolved satisfactorily. The mark of a great venue is how they treat their customers, and the owner here is top notch in his dedication to making sure each customer has a great experience. The bouncer, even with the little issue I had, seems to have meant well and it sounds like a miscommunication more than anything. I highly recommend this distillery for some of the best drinks around. Try and come during one of their multiple pop ups throughout the year. I can't wait to attend retro month!

Each time we've visited we have had wonderful experiences. Everyone is always a joy to interact with. Lexi had a large group during our first visit and then just the two of us the second time. Both times we walked out with our favorite spirits and some new ones. The peanut butter whiskey is always a staple and this one is my favorite. We now have a new addition to our must-have collection, mango datil whiskey. I dont even mix these with anything as they are incredibly smooth. Can you? Sure. But why? The spirits also change out and I'm a little sad that the cookie dough whiskey will become seasonal (that one did mix well with the peanut butter and caramel). But the new key lime pie rum was delicious and the coconut rum is another favorite. Was there anything we didn't like? I am not a fan of the roasted pecan whiskey but I can appreciate why others will enjoy it. In our tasting, Lexi swapped that one out for me so I didn't miss out. The care and joy the team has is palpable and a must stop when visiting the St Augustine area. Big fan and we now stop by multiple times each visit to sample and take home our favorites. Im excited to try the new rye whiskey on a future visit. One thing to keep in mind is that the tasting used to be free and now costs $5. Personally, I don't mind since there is a $5 coupon to use in the store that can be stacked so it becomes essentially free but it's a relatively recent change (the same applies to the nearby St Augustine Distillery and San Sebastian Winery). Do I wish that this one was still free? Of course. Will it stop me from visiting? Nope. It just breaks up my purchases so I can apply the cost each time. (And it's much better than the winery which gives you a plastic cup...nice but not really repeatable.) Overall, City Gate continues to be my favorite Distillery for flavored spirits. Thanks for always providing a great experience and product! And thank you to Lexi for being awesome!
