Went here to taste some spirits with an old friend. It's a bit hard to find at first but the distillery itself has a very relaxed vibe. We each tasted 3 different spirits and I ended up purchasing the barrel aged coconut filtered vodka. Owner was awesome and was more than helpful and knowledgeable! Will be coming back!

Small batch distilleries have a special quality. I've visited a few times. His vodka is super smooth (the owner, Jason Tripp made a vodka cranberry cocktail for me to try). I bought a bottle of vodka & rum for myself & gin as a gift for a friend. He told me that the green gin turns blue when it's introduced to an acidic ingredient, such as quinine water. Jason has won awards for each of his liquors. He said that owning his own distillery is a dream come true. No food available. Street parking is pretty easy. During Covid, Jason made hand sanitizer which was 70% alcohol, thus extremely flammable but effective & selling for $1 per oz. Update! As of 5/6/2020, Due to the City of Pacifica, hand sanitizer will no longer be offered.

Small and quaint lil vodka distillery in Pacifica. Met the owner, who was a joy to talk to. You could tell that he enjoys what he does. I came on a Friday and he was grilling up oysters for everyone for da free. SAY WHAT?! Where can u get free grilled oysters at nowadays?? The vibes are more locals feeling, but everyone there was pretty friendly. I saw people bringing in food from taquerias, which made me hungry since they didn't sell food. They did provide peanuts in bowls lol I think I ate a whole bowl... oops. If u give me alcohol, I'm bound to get the munchies lol. Tip to self and everyone else: BRING YOUR OWN FOOD. Don't be like me and eat a whole bowl of peanuts by accident HAHAH. Tip #2: this place is located in an alley, walk up 50 feet and there's a small door you enter into. At night they usually have a bright light flashing.

We are new to the Pacifica area. The Tripp Distillery is a really nice local discovery of ours. One day we accidentally got in the alley and found this pearl. The vodka, rum and gin are distilled right here at the spot. You get awesome tasty mix drinks and free tastings and a free drink with every purchased bottle. We are here almost every week to meet the local people that have become our friends. We can really recommend this spot on Fridays to Sundays. It's closed during the week, because the giant distillery machine called "Sally" is running. Cheers!

I honestly don't even know where to start! Jason is a complete master at what he does! Hes friendly and completely willing to explain the passion behind his craft. Each spirit is distilled with immaculate care and delivers on taste and quality. Despite the alcohol content you feel a "clean" buzz. This to me was especially distinctive because who doesn't like to get "trashed" and go to work the next day? In all seriousness though, there is great magic happening here at Tripp Distillery. Whether you purchase the groupon or hobble in, you'll find a passionate owner, chill vibes, and great craft spirits. Now that I've confirmed the distance, I'll be a regular walk-in. If you see me, say hi!

Tasty gin, vodka, and rum locally-produced in Pacifica California. You've got to try this stuff! I thought it was great. This has to be the very first time at any place that I've liked Gin. Huge step for me. Thanks Tripp Distillery!

Gin is in! Panini and pups event next week. Can't get enough of this place. Going to pick up several cases. Great unique gift ideas!

Drinks are delicious. Vodka is not my choice of liquor but Pacifica Vodka is one I could drink. It's smooth and a must try. Thanks Jason

1st time here and we had a great experience. Jason the owner was an awesome host. He offered us tastings along with his choices of cocktails which per his recommendation was delicious (lemonade with rum and the BlackBerry daiquiri). It's a hidden gem worth looking for. Not to mention the complimentary bratwursts and peanuts. We had a great time and we will be back soon.

This place is awesome, check it out. Ton of booze, tasting, strong cocktails, and hot dogs. Awesome blue gin. Vodka is an award winning spirit that gets redistilled in coconut shells. Jason the owner is the man!

Great place, must go in Pacifica!

Visited on a Saturday around 2:30pm, space was fairly busy, most tables and seats in the front…read morepatio were taken, with a few spots inside the bar and on the side of the bar. Got in line to place my order which was fairly quick maybe 4 guest ahead of me and took about 5-10 minutes to place my order. Drinks were prepped and served after ordering and food orders came with a buzzer to pick up from the kitchen when ready maybe a 10-15minute wait. Drinks: West Point - cocktail had a solid balance of acidity and sweetness with subtle flavors from the gin, lemon forward with subtle pineapple flavor wished this had a touch more pineapple but a personal preference Food: Tlayudita - a small plate with a crispy corn tortilla base that's about 6" in diameter topped with savory creamy refried beans, salsa and tomatillo which added a nice heat along with tangy refreshing bright acidity, chewy strips of queso oaxaca, creamy crema that added richness and cilantro, a great starter Service was good, easy ordering at the register and pick up from the food window, asked for napkins and utensils at the food window, water was self serve. Live band playing was fun and really added to the ambiance, several fire pits are set up around the distillery so definitely a great spot to relax with a drink and snack in half moon bay. Overall enjoyed jettywave a nice spot to enjoy a cocktail and a snack, would definitely come back to try more of the menu nice variety of drinks and solid food menu to choose from. Worth a visit post beach in Half moon bay.

What a great discovery Treecraft Distillery was riding our bikes from Oakland on the Bay bridge…read morebike trail to Treasure Island! Our bike party of four decided to make a pit stop here after lunch on our way back across the bridge. We were most interested in the whisky and the rum fermented with whisky yeast. Three of us decided to do a bit of tasting. - all very flavorful, smooth spirits which went down easy. I took home the chocolate bourbon, American whisky and rum. The prices for each bottle are so reasonable at $40- $45 each. There's also a casual seating area where people were congregating and enjoying their spirits. Unfortunately for us, this would not have been a great idea with all of us on bicycles. Treecraft is a destination worth visiting to try their local made vodka, gin, whiskies and rum when going to Treasure Island. I'm a fan of supporting local. I'd like to try their vodka and gin on my next visit. For now, I enjoy the American whisky over rocks though!

Like lots of other reviewers, I was found Treecraft through Groupon…read more The distillery itself is small and there is an area out front with tables for the tastings. It was a cute place and parking was easy. I liked that it was a little bit in the middle of nowhere and there weren't many people around until we were getting ready to go...it seemed like we went from being the only people there to the place being packed in a matter of 15 minutes so I suggest coming early if you want to avoid the crowds. We came on a hot July day with a group of 5 but one was a DD and we brought our small dog as always. The fact that it is dog friendly is one of the main reasons we came. The porta-potty they have near the tables for use was clean enough, but really hot on a warm day after a few drinks. The owner/maker did our tasting and for our drink at the end, I requested something "off menu" made with the spirit I most preferred. I was not disappointed. We ended up getting a bottle of our favorite to take home. Overall, it was a nice way to spend an hour or so together and we enjoyed being able to support a small business and learn a little along the way. If you love gin, as one person in our group did, then I highly recommend coming but even if you don't this is a nice little experience and a good way to sample new flavors and learn about local business.
