    Summer Lovin' &  Gold Fever cocktails (I think it should be called the  Honey Nut Cheerio)
    Matt R.

    Just off the main strip of the Water Street Mall is the perfect spot for a rum/gin cocktail before dinner. Super friendly staff, well crafted cocktails and flights, and spacious tasting room. We had the Gold Fever and Summer Lovin'. The Gold Fever tastes like an alcoholic Honey Nut Cheerio. From a person that usually prefers whisky drinks, or smoky straight whiskey, this actually fit the bill for my palette. The Summer Lovin' is gin based, but not strong on the Juniper flavoring, nor fruitiness, as the color would indicate. Not a full bar, no food, just straight cocktails and a tour if you are so inclined.

    Bikini bottom

    We stopped in on a hot July day. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We tried a flight to start with and asked for some suggestions. The alcohol itself was mediocre. We decided to each get a mixed drink. The bikini bottom was amazing! The ice cream macaroon was pretty good and hit the spot. I would definitely recommend to stop by here to try some of their mixed drink concoctions.

    Pain suppressor and summer delight
    Krista R.

    Came here for a pre dinner drink while we waited for our table. So glad we did!!! The drinks are hands down AMAZING and refreshing. It's dog friendly even a plus. The summer delight was a watermelon/cucumber combo which was just heaven. Something I'd like to drink pool side. The pain suppressor was well...I'm on the Hawaiian airline website now looking for flights bc that's where this drink took me too. It's a two drink max due to Virginia laws but that's okay I will now be making this my regular drink spot in the downtown mall area. The place is very modern, clean, staff is friendly. Highly recommend check this place out

    Raja ampat and a mocktail
    Nina S.

    Visited twice while staying a week in Charlottesville and both times the drinks were really good. Nice place to hang out or stopping by for pre/post dinner, as they don't have a food menu. Mocktails were delicious as well.

    My boyfriend and I got a cocktail here last night and it was fabulous! We are going back again tonight. Only downside is that the "vibe" is a little awkward (it was silent without music) but the cocktails made up for it. Would recommend!

    If I could give more stars I would! We ended up here two days in a row! The ladies were by far the friendliest! I tried the pain suppressor and bikini bottom. Both of them were absolutely delicious. I'm looking forward to going back for a flight.

    Accidentally found this spot while walking around Charlottesville. The spirits are top shelf and the staff is knowledgeable about their products. I'll be ordering more from them and hope to visit again someday.

    Stopped by during a visit to Charlottesville. Went by during posted "open" hours, but they were closed. Very disappointed

    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.

    Went out here to go camping nearby and this place is a pretty solid gem within this local area…read more When they get busy parking can get a bit busy. 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. I enjoyed the decor within. Repeat customer: yes! Dog Friendly: I didn't ask - but maybe the patio?
