My wife is disabled and we found this establishment very difficult. If you are disabled, make sure you have lots of documentation or they will refuse service. They are very unkind to disabled persons with certified service dogs. Disabled persons, be aware! They are not welcoming read more

There's nothing wrong with this place, in fact, it's kind of a cool place with a nice vibe. It's just unfortunate that the whiskey is not that good. I tasted them all (or all the ones I could that day), and there was nothing stellar or outstanding. Perhaps they would be better in a mixed drink. read more

I wanted to hit the Brewery in the area, but it as of writing this is closed for renovations (maybe next time). Liberty Distillery to the Rescue! came in here and at the strapping chap bartender recommended the Gin flight - we were off. The old Tom was by far my favorite - My buddy's as well. Smooth like it should be with slight blossomy, berry hints in the after taste. So good, I got a bottle to go. The Endeavor Pink had a little more kick but really good, I mean they all were. I definitely recommend being a Gin enjoyer. I was sort of geared up to go whiskey, but again, following the bartender's recommendation was a nice call. Liberty Distillery itself has an old cabin feel in its setting. There is a modest amount of seating - a few tables and counter seating, so you may have to share communally at one of the tables on a busy day. There is a lot of merch to purchase, perfect if you want some Liberty Distillery apparel or gifts alongside picking up a bottle or two. A great stop if you're venturing around Granville Island. Would love to return here. read more

A corner shop situated in Granville area. Predominantly Whiskey drinks. We had a Whiskey Sour. It was around $17.50 CAD, with taxes. It was a great drink. There were tables and stools all around the place. It was a chill and cool spot to sit and drink. They didn't have any food, just drinks, snacks like peanuts and a charcuterie board type snack. Not bad and I enjoyed it. read more

While visiting Granville Island, in Vancouver for the weekend, my husband and I popped into the Liberty Distillery around lunchtime. It was a rainy day and we were looking to escape the cold. The ambience was very warm and inviting, as were the staff. My husband wanted to try a flight of some of their premium spirits while I opted for a classic hot toddy. The hot toddy was warm and soothing; the perfect sipping beverage for a cold and rainy day. My husband enjoyed his flight and it was a wonderful way to pass some time while waiting out the rain. read more

A small craft distillery. The vibe is very chill and relaxed. Cool place for a tasting. The alcohol is very well made. The tasting sampler doesn't get much... small portions. Other cocktails drinks are well made. Payment is weird; drinks and merchandise can't be billed together but the same portable charge machine is used. Staff were just average, nothing special to call out. read more

The vibes are perfect!! Cute date night spot for when you're in Granville Island. I came here an hour before closing and was worried they wouldn't let my boyfriend and I in but the staff was so friendly and let us in. I had the whiskey or gin flight ( to be honest I don't fully remember because I got drunk) and my boyfriend had a Moscow Mule which was so good! Beware, the flight is so strong! Like 40% and up and I lost it at the end but still such a good time! read more

The Liberty Distillery - Flight - Distilleries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

We had a wonderful time with The Liberty Distillery on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Cozy inside the tasting room, we enjoyed the whiskey flight and a flight that featured Liberty Gin, vodka, and two whiskies. Our favorite was the gin--clean tasting with a beautiful tincture of juniper. The service was attentive and friendly. We highly recommend The Liberty Distillery and will be back. As a side note, we bought a bottle of Liberty Gin and tucked it into our car trunk as we headed to Seattle for the Pearl Jam concert on Tuesday night. After the stellar, moving concert, we walked to our hotel room, deciding if we should go to a crowded bar for a night cap or just head back to our room. My brilliant husband remembered the gin. We wound up having the delicious gin neat on the hotel's rooftop with the stunning Seattle skyline and Elliott Bay views. It was magical. read more

I'm not at Liberty to say how good our cocktails were... Well, I'm not *currently* at Liberty, anyway: I'm at home, writing this review...but I *can* tell you that they were excellent, crafted by skilled hands using some truly spirited spirits, all of which were distilled here on Granville Island. I can also tell you that I'd come here again, order more, and even take home a few bottles, if it wasn't such a hassle to get them across the border through customs. Instead, I intend to hunt down their Trust Whiskey at a liquor store back home, because its just right for me: smooth, strong, and complex. Sure, the experience of sipping it straight back home won't be the same without the rustic, industrial vibe of their tasting room, but...after knocking back a few, I'm sure I won't mind very much. read more

What a gem of a spot in Granville. Jake, our distiller was full of helpful information and added to the flare of this splendid spot. We were a fan of the whiskey and loved the full explanation given by Jake and info cards. I highly recommend this experience for those who love a well made vodka, whiskey or gin! read more

Quite possibly the best value cocktail bar in Vancouver. I've been shopping here for years for supplies, but never actually had a drink until May 2023. I was absolutely blown away. I'm pretty sure I wrote a Yelp review extolling the fantastic staff & cocktails, but it seems to have disappeared. Anyhoo, I enjoyed their cocktails immensely. I finally managed to drag my hubby here during the August long weekend and it was still amazing. He was also blown away by the quality of the cocktails, the service and ambiance. He bought two bottles of their whiskey to take home. read more

Very cool, chill, classy bar you should visit when you are exploring Granville Island. When I saw there was a distillery on Granville Island before I made my trip here I made the plan to be sure to stop by. As opposed to breweries I have not seen many and thus have not been to many distilleries so I was excited to come here especially since I do drink gin. When you walk in you will right away notice a warm, classy & very chill vibe inside. It's not that big and there are just a few tables (communal) and countertop seats. This is not your raging busy bar and I like that about this place. I found myself a seat and then made my way to the bar where I placed an order for the Gin Flight as well as the New York Sour (no longer on the menu but I previously saw Yelp photos of it). The bartender was accommodating and said he'd bring the drinks to the table. Unless I'm mistaken, there were no seats at the actual bar which is interesting especially since I probably would have just sat at the bar. It was fun tasting my way through the gin flight trying to discern the differences. In the end, I made a gin & tonic. The New York Sour is a very nice-looking drink and made well all the same. I'm not a whisky drinker but it had a good balance with the alcohol, sweet and sour flavor. I can see people getting this drink just because of its visual appeal. The place offers their spirits as well as merch for sale and from I can see it's not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive I've seen. Gotta pay for quality, right!? It's right near the Granville Public Market, and you should be able to find parking in one of the nearby lots, there is one right across the street from here. Also, I believe that after 6pm, parking is free, so that's good. I can definitely see myself coming back to try out some more of their spirits and cocktails since they are putting thought and effort into them all. Cheers! read more

What more can I say: delicious cocktails made by exceptional, friendly bartenders! OK, I can say a couple more things, now that we have the essentials covered. I did go here twice on my recent Vancouver visit; you'll get a different experience if you're there on a sunny summer Sunday afternoon as opposed to a regular'ol Tuesday afternoon. Distillery appears to require that you're seated to be served, which seems to be a hangover from the COVID days, and which is difficult when you're by yourself and need to be simultaneously guarding a chair but also ordering at the bar. Also, people bring kids in there, who require seats. C'mon, it's a distillery and a bar... don't they have a chuck-e-cheeze somewhere around there, or charlamagne-du-fromage, or whatever kid parking lots are called there. No kids were there on the Tuesday, nor that many people at all, so the bartender had more time to talk and explain what they make, as well as explain a lil' more Granville Island to me. The room is old-timey pretty, and even if you don't sign up for a tour, you can still view the tanks and piping and whatnot while on your way to the restroom, or bathroom, or warshroom, or whatever the nice folks up north call it. As Granville Island is a likely stop on your Vancouver adventures, having a drink here is definitely a part of that! read more

This place is a distillery but has a bit a cross-up as a craft cocktail bar as well! Order at the counter (you can opt to leave your bill open). We started with cocktails first - the Whiskey Apple and the New York Sour. Both were solid cocktails, but a whiskey flight was calling. Since we were travelling, I was not super interested in getting any bottled spirits, but if I lived locally, I would take a bottle or two home. We also had the pretzel (twice), which was super hot and very good. Overall, this place is worth checking out if you are on Granville Island. A quick search and you can find it. read more

When you enter, head to the bar to place your order and the bartender will seat you. There are whiskey and gin flights available and some of their liquor have won medals. We had the Rose Colored Spectacles and the Tomcat, both made with Endeavor gin. Both very tasty and high quality liquor. Definitely recommend coming here if you're on the island and want a break from beer. read more

Great place to take a break while shopping and enjoy a cocktail or flight. I did their Liberty Flight which was two whiskeys, a vodka, and gin. Each was smooth and flavorful, and I'm not usually a gin person but their Endeavor Gin just might make me a believer! Staff was fast, friendly, and had great suggestions. My daughter had the Limoncello Spritz that was a perfect refreshment on a summer day. They also have some beers, ciders, and wine, and I think a few snack items too like pretzels. Next time I will plan to take a tour, that sounds fun and educational. It's $15 but ends with a complementary tasting. read more

This is my new favorite place on the west side for a Caesar. The room is beautiful, bartenders friendly, the vodka Caesar is seriously the best. We ask for medium spice and they are quite hot so beware of asking for hotter. All the other cocktails look so good although the Pink Fizz is the only other one I've tried. Pair your booze with a hot pretzel to soak it up and you won't be disappointed. The gift shop of cocktail related items is great if you're looking for a last minute gift also. They make their gin, vodka, whisky in house and you can try a tasting flight if you are feeling adventurous ! Now you know my not so secret spot for a cocktail adventure :) read more

Sadly, most of the reviews for the restaurants in the Granbury Island area were not very redeeming... So when I came across a lot of really good reviews for this place, it was my suggested stop. Sadly, they didn't have an extensive food menu... But we got the charcuterie plate and it was extremely delicious. Our drinks were both wonderful, and the bartender told me the exactly perfect way to enjoy my whiskey tasting. He was very friendly and really good at his job. You order at the bar and then they bring your stuff to whatever table you've chosen. I kind of wish we had gotten the pretzel too. :-) After we left, we went and walked around the food market, and I wound up getting some big bakery item... That was indeed marginal. So I'm very glad that we listened to other yelpers, thanks guys! and shared the charcuterie plate here :-) it was not a great big meal... But everything sure was delicious. read more

Such a fun place to stop by and have a cocktail in rainy weather. They have multiple artisan cocktails to choose from and amazing servers to help with any questions. We had to try their one of their flights as they distill their own alcohol and a soft pretzel to soak up the effects. They paired so well together and was the perfect afternoon snack. Be careful when the pretzel comes to the table as it is blazingly hot and will burn your fingertips and tongue! read more

I was just telling my husband I needed a pick me up and was in need of an espresso martini.. and low and behold, we stumbled upon this place seconds after stating that. He had the old bridge..he thought it was a bit on the sweeter side. I had the espresso martini, and it was awesome. The bartender was very pleasant. She was nice to talk to! I then followed with the McClay. My husband had the last spike. I thought both were really delicious. I definitely enjoyed the lively music, and it wasn't too loud. There is plenty of seating. read more

Came in for a whiskey tasting. The two guys that were working that day were really nice and welcoming. One of them explained the different whiskeys and seemed knowledgeable about the subject.

I kind of don't want to write a review because I want to keep this place a secret. I am born and raised in the city of Vancouver, have walked by this place a million times and I never realized how absolutely amazing this place is and I'm so glad we discovered it. Every cocktail was impeccable; with such vivid descriptions of drinks, you're bound to find something that calls your name. One of my favourite drinks was the RoyalTea which has pink in, early grey syrup, raspberry syrup, lemon juice, rose water and mint leaves. Doesn't that sound delicious? My boyfriend loved one called the Last Spike. We clearly had more than one based on the pictures, so it's hard to remember all the names, but we were so surprised and delighted by this Distillery in Granville Island. A new favourite to bring visitors and friends! read more

We came by here for some drinks after dinner and were thoroughly impressed! Tables were spaced out for covid however we did notice they didn't take down our contact information for tracing. They have a wide variety of cocktails and gin/whisky flight. I got the Liberty's Yule Mule which was their feature cocktail. It was very festive and even had a candy cane in it! My partner got the Hot Smoked Toddy and it was perfect considering what a rainy day it was. Loved their cocktails and will definitely be back for more of their spirits. read more

Do you need craft spirits?? Yes, the answer is ALWAYS yes! I used to think that I wasn't a gin fan, but it turns out I only like gin from smaller distilleries. We decided to stop in and try a drink while walking around Granville Island. My husband had the Honey'd Sour and I had My Pear Lady. Both were so delicious and went down a little too quickly. The staff was uber sweet and helpful too! If you're on the Island, you need to stop by! read more

This place offers $3 tasters of anything on their menu, which is something that every distillery should do (a lot of places can be snobby about their 'nicer' stuff and only offer flights). We tried the Endeavour Pink, Endeavour Origins, and Railspur No. 2 White. The tasters were served with little informational cards, which was a nice touch. The service here was very warm and friendly. We were unfortunately too full to try out any of the cocktails, but based on what we saw they looked delicious. read more

Was intrigued by the names of their vodka and whiskey. There was also a rose gin. I got a mixed drink which was super smooth. My friend got a flight that contained their vodka, gin, and whiskey. They also got a shot of the rose gin. For sure a fan of the whiskey but it's not your typical whiskey since I don't think it's aged very long but it still tasted good. The vodka was smooth and normally I find vodka to be terrible. The rose gin and gin were kind of rough to drink. Inside they have a lot of interesting items for sale for those into making their own drinks. read more
