I stumbled upon them one day while just hanging out on Lombardy and I've been a fan ever since. They are known for their Limoncello which can be used in an Lemon Drop or poured over gingerbread if that's your thing. They also have a few flavored vodkas, moonshine, whiskeys and gins. During my recent visit I tried the Yule Mule and it was delicious! I am a huge mule fan and this is the best one I had this holiday season. The mix of grapefruit, moonshine and ginger beer was very light and refreshing. The service is amazing. The owners and distillers are very friendly and knowledgeable. They don't mind sharing their "trials and errors" and no idea is too big or small when it comes to distilling. Outside of being a distillery, they also have wine, meat, cheese, smoked salmon and all things pasta that can be purchased onsite.

Take a trip back in time to the colonial days and discover how modern cocktail recipes came to be. From flaming drinks to simple mojitos, each drink has a historic story of invention and who consumed them. The service is friendly and they are happy to explain everything on the menu. Their genuine passion shines through and the pours are rather generous on the flights. So drivers be aware that you won't be able to finish them! Whiskey & Rum are the primary spirits served, though there was a gin on the menu as well as a few others. The atmosphere is equally period appropriate. Will not disappoint you if this is your vibe!

They only have packaged chips and peanuts for sale. If you are allergic, don't come. Peanuts are everywhere. 3. Service: one of them was awkward or borderline mean to me but nice to others including those in my group. I was also the only not-white person in the establishment the first 3 hours and joined by a black gentleman later. It is a very racially-uniform place. Bartender changed halfway through for our table (we didn't ask for it) and it was very pleasant. 4. Live music on certain days. The jazz band was a crowd favorite. All in all, a good spot if you are in Richmond, VA.

My friends and I decided to visit this distillery and we were all so happy we did…read more It was very welcoming and had that homey feeling where everyone knew each other. We each got a couple of drinks and we split two appetizers, and everything was very good. I opted for the Bonfire Buzz, which was one of the tastiest rum drinks I've had. It's made with spiced rum, apple cider and ginger beer, and definitely had a kick. We split the Red Eyed Goat and Finklestien's Nachos and both were really good. My other friend got the Beef on Weck sandwich with a side of mac and cheese and really enjoyed his meal. In addition to spirits and mixed drinks, they also offer beer and wine. This a cute place that gives back to the community, and is well worth a visit.

Just note that there is extra parking behind the building. There aren't many great food / dining options within the local area but this place really is a great place in any area. The customer service is great, food is delicious, and the atmosphere is comfy. It was so nice for us that we actually came back twice during a 4 day vacation! :) Recommendation: You have to try the tomato pie dip. It's so delicious. If you're in the area, it's absolutely worth the visit. Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Small bar that's quaint and open.
