Very friendly service over the phone and from the moment you walk in. We were each give four tokens to try different bourbons. The two of us samples 8 total. We really enjoyed every one we sampled, while obviously having our favorites. Staff was very knowledgeable and answered all of our different questions.

The staff was very professional and knowledgeable. The tour was very interesting and held alot of good and neat information. I did not feel rushed during the tour and you could ask questions along the way. The tasting and pour your own bottle experience was definitely something I wont forget! I definitely would recommend this distillery for a fun date day! I cant wait to come back to do another tasting and tour.

I had reserved a tour for 3 (I highly recommend that you do the tour and if you choose to do a tour that you make reservations in advance as they sell out) and initially I did 2 with bottle fills and one tour. The tours come with a ticket for a drink so that was a nice little extra. As the tour started Ryan & Diego (our fabulous guides) gave us some history of how the company started and as well as the process of how the vodka is made. We got to mix our bottle (as we got the lemon) and fill our bottles. We also got to put the caps on the bottle and see how the line works. At the end of the tour, we also got to taste some vodka. After the tour we decided to go get our drinks and the staff inside were just as kind as the staff taking us on the tour. There are so many drink options that I wasn't sure what I wanted as they have so many flavored vodkas. I was told I could sample the vodkas which I was grateful for as it helped me make a decision. My cousin got the raspberry cobbler and the Bloody Mary - the raspberry was sweet but good and I don't like bloody Mary's but I'd drink this one! I got the blueberry lemon, the prickly pear and the front porch . . . All were good to me. When we were there they had some guys playing music inside which was a little loud but sitting on the porch, it was nice to hear. They also had a pizza food truck outside and my cousin said the pizza was really good. If I could make a suggestion to the establishment I would ask them to PLEASE sell flights! Please please please as there were so many drinks that I wanted to try but unless I was gonna sleep in the parking lot I knew I shouldn't but I guess it's also a reason to come back!

Looking forward to returning for their outdoor concerts in the Fall. We did the tour where we also poured a bottle to take home. Flavor of the month is watermelon.

**Disappointing Experience at Hermann Marshall**…read more I attended a private event at Hermann Marshall on August 16th, held in their private party room. This was my third time attending a private event at Hermann Marshall, and unfortunately, it was the first time I experienced what I felt was inconsistent and disappointing service. As part of the event, the host offered complimentary mixed drinks served by Hermann Marshall staff. My server was Mary Ann, who I understand is married to the manager/owner. Mary Ann initially served me one complimentary Old Fashioned, which, as usual, was very good. About an hour later, I returned to the bar for another. At that point, Mary Ann placed her hand over the Old Fashioned dispenser and told me they were no longer serving complimentary drinks because the prepaid limit had been reached. She then told me I could purchase one if I wanted another drink. I had no issue with purchasing a drink, so I got my debit card and purchased a smoked Old Fashioned. What I found confusing, however, was that there appeared to be a significant amount of the premixed Old Fashioned remaining in the dispenser. Approximately an hour later, while getting food near the bar, I saw Mary Ann serve another attendee an Old Fashioned from the same container she had previously told me was no longer available for complimentary drinks. I asked Mary Ann why I had been charged for my drink while another attendee was still receiving complimentary Old Fashioneds. Her response was unclear, but she ultimately told me that if I wanted another drink, I would need to pay for it. From what I observed, however, other attendees were continuing to receive complimentary Old Fashioneds within the limit established by the party host. What made the situation particularly disappointing was not having to pay for a drink--I was perfectly willing to do that--but rather the inconsistent treatment and lack of transparency regarding how the complimentary drinks were being distributed. I have been a consistent patron of Hermann Marshall, attending Tuesday Bingo nights, happy hours, and other events, and I have also brought friends with me. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling uncomfortable and disappointed, particularly given the circumstances surrounding the event. I believe all guests should receive consistent and transparent service, regardless of who they are. Based on this experience, I will no longer be supporting Hermann Marshall or recommending HM to friends. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, as this was a very different experience from the positive experiences I've had at Hermann Marshall in the past.

Love, love, love this bar. The atmosphere is awesome and always such a great place to hang out…read more They have my absolute favorite espresso martini -- I seriously compare every other one I try to this place, and nothing ever measures up. One of the best parts is the music level. It's fun and sets the mood, but it's not so loud that you can't actually have a conversation. Being able to bring in your own food is also a huge bonus and makes the experience even better. Definitely one of our favorite spots.

Barbie usually gets a buzz from ballz and all the things ballz can do, but it's not alcohol related…read more(as it is for most people). If it's alcohol related for you, then these *are* the ballz you're looking for. These super cute alcoholic drinks are basically balls of alcohol which you can find in various places such as New Orleans - which is where I found these. Definitely impressive and unique, and if I was a drinker I'm sure I would really enjoy them. They're cocktail-style so they taste sugary and decent. They're shelf-stable so that's the downside (including taste-wise) but you can't have everything.

Quick update to say that I still love this place. A few key points:…read more 1) Staff is still kind, funny, laid-back, and friendly. They bailed us out by allowing us to bring in our own cake when the pizza place next door was threatening to charge a massive per-person fee for us to serve it on our own plates with our own plastic utensils (ugh, seriously?). THANK YOU! They also are still chill AF and let everyone stay past closing to watch the end of the Texas football game. 2) Favorite cocktails these days include the Angry Bee (a spicy bee's knees) and the Hibiscus Basil Lemonade (when you want an adult beverage that's also refreshing and light). The drink menu hasn't changed much over the years, but why should it? It's solid. 3) Their food also is solid; we didn't have any this time around due to a very poor decision to have pizza next door, but I've never been let down by their food menu. Some damn yummy sandwiches. Keep on keepin' on, Lockwood.

The Old Fashioned That Made Ice Disappear"…read more Victor behind the bar at Lockwood Distillery doesn't merely make an Old Fashioned--he seems to conduct a small, bourbon-based magic trick. This thing is a work of art: beautifully balanced, silky, spirit-forward, and finished with just enough citrus and sweetness to remind you that sophistication doesn't have to take itself too seriously. Then there's the monolithic ice cube, so ridiculously pure and crystal-clear that it practically vanishes inside the glass; you know it's there only because the laws of physics insist something must be holding that magnificent orange peel and cherry in suspension. Victor has somehow managed to make frozen water look expensive. If Michelangelo had worked in bourbon instead of marble, I'm reasonably certain he'd have ordered another. Exceptional cocktail, exceptional craftsmanship--and dangerously easy to admire until you realize you've already finished it.

The tour came with a flight of their drinks, which included gin, bourbon and vodka. My favorite was the gin. Along with the flight of drinks , we also got two cocktails and the tour. The staff was awesome and the drinks were great. We got all of this for a great price. I also enjoyed to hear about the history of how this distillery came to be. The tour included just me and one other person, which ended up making it feel very personal and give the opportunity to ask a lot of questions. Find the groupon for this place and check out what they have to offer!!

We arrived shorty before our scheduled time, and the distillery was just opening. Don (co-owner) welcomed me and told us to come on in. The space is very welcoming, and we immediately felt comfortable. We were fortunate enough that Don took care of us. He told us about the beginnings of the distillery, how he and his partner got started, and how they have continued to evolve. Their attention to details are unmatched. Their gin, bourbon, and vodka were all top-notch, and we were very impressed by the personalized tour. Don's passion and knowledge made the experience truly memorable. We learned so much about artisan products, and the efforts that go into making them. I strongly recommend this experience to others. Their spirits taste really good. We could've stayed longer, as comfortable as Don made us feel. We were able to sample most of their products and we had two amazing cocktails each. We purchased the Artisanal Gin, the Barrel Finished Gin, and the Blended Bourbon. My wife surprised me with a bottle of the Blended Bourbon, and Don presented it in a very nice gift bag. He actually dedicated the bottles to us and signed them. We're looking forward to bringing our friends for another visit soon. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and recommend a tour to any spirits enthusiast!
