Found this by accident on Yelp and thought we'd check it out since we are new to the area. Went on…read morea Saturday after 2ish and there was one other couple besides us and our adult kids. It's a very large building (a industrialize feel) with what feels like multiple rooms (one room connected to main room has a stage) with quite a large open air patio with high top tables and patio furniture with padding and tables. Inside has tables, a HUGE Projection TV on the wall, a long belly-up to the bar, also a private room (The Legacy Room) for private events. It also has a store inside selling the spirits the distillery makes (which by the way is made on site). We loved the laid back feel and wide openness of the building. We were told that once a month they have line dancing/swing dancing and hire two instructors to teach. The music isn't live to continue dancing and practicing what you learn. Apparently the first night had about 60-70 people. They clear the entire floor of tables so there is plenty of room to quick up your heels. However there is a $10 cover charge. Sorry I didn't take a pic of the flyer on the door so you'll have to call and ask what night it happens but I believe it's a Friday night and right now once a month. As it gets popular, we were told maybe twice a month. They offer tables games and cards to play while tasting their Bourbon, Gin, Vodka, Tequila and mixed drinks they sell. Our guys tried a flight for $25 with generous pours. Most they liked, some not so much, but would like to go back and try their Old Fashioned. There is a very long ramp for accessible access or stairs whichever is needed. Ample parking but I'm sure on those nights when line dancing is taught it could get full. The bathrooms are gender neutral as seen in the picture. The guy behind the bar was very nice and shared lots of info on their spirits production. It was nice to have a bowl of saltine crackers but they were stale. I guess it doesn't matter because they are most likely to use when taste testing. We will be back!

Strong sips, chill vibes -- but not for the faint of heart!…read moreWe stopped by Independent Distilling Company after finding a great Groupon for a flight tasting (up to 6 spirits). Heads up -- free street parking is available, but the road is narrow, so hug that curb! From the outside, the place might seem small, but the inside opens up nicely. The decor leans rustic, with stools and cozy couches for seating. We opted for the stools and visited right at opening, so the owner and bartender were still getting things going. The tasting includes nearly their entire spirit menu -- 6 out of 7 offerings -- and let me tell you, these pours are not light. Each one was a bold, high-proof experience (bartender mentioned 72 proof, if I remember right). I can handle my liquor, and even I was surprised by the strength! We stayed for about an hour to let the tastings settle in. Out of the six, I personally liked two -- my fiancée didn't enjoy any, but that's just personal taste. I wouldn't return for myself, but it was absolutely worth visiting at least once and supporting a local spot. Plus, you can only imagine how great their cocktails are based on the flavor of these spirits. Here's a quick breakdown of what we sampled: Independent White Rum - Light molasses with grassy, peppery notes. Silver medal winner. Barrel Aged Rum - Butterscotch, honey, oaky vanilla. Voted Best Georgia Distilled Spirit. Hellbender Corn Whiskey - Strong corn flavor, hay, green apple, and caramel popcorn vibes. Fowler's New World Gin - Bright and botanical. Notes of citrus, herbs, and spice with an American twist. Hellbender Bourbon - Oak-forward with vanilla, burnt orange, and baking spice. Classic and robust. Outlier No. 21 (Port Cask Finish) - Aged 9 years, finished in port casks. Deep, rich, fruity, and complex. If you're into small-batch craft spirits with character and kick, definitely swing by. Just don't come on an empty stomach -- you've been warned.

They offer flight tastings and cocktails. The atmosphere is very relaxed. While they don't serve food, they have food vendors rotate. On the day I went, Mama's Empanadas were scheduled. They hadn't arrived by the time I left , so I'm hoping to catch them another time. The bartender was fantastic and checked on me often. Their cocktails are very unique. The two I had were delicious, but my favorite was the "Rock You Like A". It's a tiki inspired cocktail that contains rum, macadamia nut syrup, orange cordial, guava syrup, grenadine and lime. I really enjoyed my time here and look forward to returning.

We've visited Atlanta many times over the years when our son was younger and we had already done…read moremost of the typical tourist activities. This trip was actually our first time visiting without him so we were a little lost about what to do next. LOL. We had gone to a cafe earlier in the day but it was still too early for dinner so we kept searching for something interesting to do. That's when my husband found Distillery of Modern Art. I wasn't really in the mood for drinking during the day so I wasn't sure at first but I'm so glad we went! We had never heard of a combination of a distillery and an art gallery before which immediately caught our attention. It looked like the space is used for a variety of events as well. Since we visited during Mother's Day weekend, there was a flower arrangement workshop happening in one of the rooms when we arrived. The bar area was very spacious with plenty of seating and since it was our first visit, we decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the different liquors they produce. My husband sampled their rye whiskey, gin, and Amaro Peach. I'm usually not much of a gin fan but theirs was exceptionally smooth and I actually enjoyed it. Amaro tends to be quite bitter but their Amaro Peach had a really nice balance of bitterness and sweetness. I ordered the Ocean Eyes cocktail which features their Amaro Peach and it was excellent. The bartender also made his own special version of a classic cocktail for my husband (I forgot the name!) and he really enjoyed it. What stood out most was how friendly and passionate the bartender was. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does and honestly, he made the experience even more enjoyable for us. We had such a great visit that my husband ended up bringing home bottles of their gin and Amaro Peach. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Atlanta!

Beautiful space, feels industrial. They have an event space you can rent out. The art exhibit part…read moreof the distillery was nice too They rotate their drink menu, I think they said it was every season? We tried 3-4 drinks (I only took pics of 2). The ube drink is excellent, not super sweet but you can taste the ube flavor and the end is a citrus note which is nice. The other 2 drinks we had were ordered off menu after we explained to the bartender some of taste preferences. The Singapore sling was excellent as well as the other one he made. You can tell that they really care about their craft and are wanting to experiment with different flavors! It was nice being able to sit at the bar and chat as well
