Wildfether is a cocktail experience done right. Set inside the historic Jennings House, an 1800s-era building, Wild Feather does a great job honoring the home's original character while delivering a thoughtful, modern cocktail program. We arrived on a Friday night and the place was buzzing. We were shown upstairs to a high-top window seat at the bar, which ended up being a great perch to take it all in. Our server was friendly and attentive and clearly knew the menu. Pro tip: make a reservation if you want a seat, especially on weekends. There are multiple levels with both indoor and outdoor seating, which adds to the charm of the space. The cocktail menu leans heavily on seasonal, locally inspired ingredients, and we lucked out by arriving right as they rolled out the winter menu, while still keeping some familiar staples on the list. We started with Granny's Got a Gun, a brown sugar bourbon and coffee liqueur drink, and The See-Through, a clarified citrus vodka cocktail, both well balanced and right on the mark. Next up were the Black Walnut Old Fashioned and Sands of Time, solid drinks overall, though as a bourbon fan I personally wished they leaned a bit more whiskey-forward. We finished the night with Blue Beer, a blueberry bourbon highball riff that leaned more root beer than expected, and their version of an espresso martini, which was easily the best drink of the night. One thing to note, there is no food served here, but you are welcome to bring your own snacks. Pricing is what you would expect for quality craft cocktails in this area. Wildfether works just as well for an intimate night out as it does for a group of friends. This is a great spot for cocktail lovers who enjoy well-made drinks and soaking in the character of a historic space. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Very creative craft cocktails made with in-house spirits. The two I tried were both unique: one was made of Bourbon, Vodka, Ube, Coconut, Red Dates, Honey, Pineapple and chai-spiced coconut milk punch with a hint of fruit. I will agree that the cocktails are steep at around $18 a piece but well worth it as each one was perfectly balanced. The server was very knowledgeable on the drinks. read more

Great ambience and delicious drinks sat at the bar but they have seating upstairs and outside. Loved the presentation and the flavors profiles of the drinks are superb. Great date night or fun with friends. read more

I understand the vibe and theme they're going for, but $17 for a (small) cocktail in Haddonfield is a bit outlandish. Spirits and mixers are made in-house which makes this a unique establishment. This is not the kind of place where you can saunter up to the bar and order cocktails. You need to be seated by the hostess and you'll likely need a reservation at that. Our cocktails were interesting and well-balanced, but we would not go out of our way to return. read more

Went to Wildfether with two friends last night, we had so much fun! The place was super cute, very vibey and well decorated on the inside. Our server (Bridget?) was super nice and made good suggestions. I had the Lychee Keen and Clover Club cocktails, both were delicious. Definitely on the pricier end, but they were very high quality. Would for sure come here again! read more

I was intrigued the day I found out that a distillery had opened in Haddonfield, and thus Wildfether sat in my bookmarks until my next Jersey trip. I made sure to book a reservation, which does require a credit card, ahead of my visit over the holidays. Good thing, too, since the space is quite small. It's housed in a historic building, the Jennings House, and is situated right next to Borough Hall. Looking out the window we were seated next to brought with it strong memories of my days working as a reporter in Haddonfield and the many, many hours spent at Borough Hall in my early 20s! It was also fairly drafty, so be sure to wear layers. There was one server/bartender who was taking orders and making all the drinks for the entire room. She was hustling! Seriously, I don't know how she managed to do it all with such efficiency and good spirits (pun intended). For my cocktails, I ordered the Not My Plumpdrop Buttons, a sweet gin drink that was so smooth and delightful, and Win/Win, a vodka drink that has similarities to lemonade. "Lemonade for big kids," according to the menu! I also tried a sip of their Napoleon's Ghost mocktail, which tasted just like a creamsicle. It was so well done! I was also intrigued by their root beer mocktail. Another time! I really enjoyed my visit all around, and I'd definitely return in the future to try more of their menu. read more

Newly opened in Haddonfield! The distillery is located in a historic building. It's a very cool space with period details yet modern too. The downstairs has a bar and two tables plus a nice outdoor porch. The upstairs has a bar with several tables, an adjoining room with large tables for groups plus a large outdoor porch area. As soon as we came in we were greeted and given a menu. We sat at a table downstairs since it was a quick stop. The drink list has a variety of inventive cocktails ranging in strength made with different in house liquors. The cocktails are somewhat smaller and a little more pricey. The cocktail I had was good but could've used more watermelon and less lime. No food is available but you are welcome to bring your own. read more

Very cute distillery in a perfect location! My friends and I stopped here for some drinks before heading to dinner. They will not seat you until the entire party arrives. Very big inside with downstairs, upstairs and outdoor seating! I ordered the Tropic of Cancer, which was exactly how the menu described it "light and refreshing." Very easy to drink and a bit on the sweet side. My friend who has had the drink before said it tasted a lot sweeter than normal. Still refreshing on a hot day! My second drink of choice was the 1983 martini. I was expecting an espresso martini taste, but don't because it doesn't taste like an espresso martini at all. It's their take on it because of the coffee inside, but the appearance and taste is completely different and not in a bad way. Strong coconut flavor! My bf especially enjoyed this one! I definitely plan on returning and I think a great move is to come here before going to a byo dinner. They have a public parking lot in the back! read more

Wildfether is an elegant cocktail bar and distillery in downtown historic Haddonfield that just had its grand opening on May 26, 2023, and it is an excellent addition to the shops and restaurants on Kings Highway. Haddonfield used to be a dry town, but a brewery opened up in 2017, and a winery followed in 2020, and now a distillery. All within a block of each other. The boozy trifecta is now complete! Owner and Haddonfield resident Tommy Alfinito really knocked it out of the park with this one. I've been following Wildfether's progress on Instagram, and it is truly astounding to see what he has created here. He took a historic building from 1857 and over the course of two years, through countless setbacks and delays, renovated it into a refined and upscale space while preserving the house's historic character. My girlfriend and I stopped by for the grand opening yesterday. There was a line out the door all day, but we didn't mind waiting since everyone was in a good mood and just happy the place is finally open. The wait was worth it! Tommy himself sat us in the downstairs bar and fetched us sparkling water before a waitress took our order. We watched the bartender making drinks for the hour we were there and you could tell everyone working there cared about what they were doing and wanted everyone to enjoy their experience. My girlfriend ordered the bourbon based Flower Power while I ordered the gin based Stay Puft. I'm hardly a cocktail expert but both were incredible. The inside is equally as impressive, with a small downstairs bar and outside patio, as well as an upstairs patio and much larger upstairs bar. Overall it was a superb first experience, and I'm looking forward to going back and trying other options from their menu. read more

Absolutely phenomenal craft cocktails. Beautiful decor. Perfect place to have a few cocktails with friends or a very sexy date night. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful in describing drinks and offering recommendations. Loved the "ambassador to flavortown" Definitely recommending to everyone I know. read more

Pros: Great atmosphere. Lots of great sitting areas. We didn't need a reservation on a Wednesday night. Staff was friendly. Cons: Their house made whiskey tasted young, single dimensional. Give it some time. The cocktail tasted too trendy and overbearing, not complex and nuanced. The smoke felt more parlor trick than integrated into the flavor profile. It was a bit too sweet for something that was supposed to be spicy and sour. I didn't hate it, but I expected more sophistication and cohesion. Overall, I'm glad we went. I'm not anxious to go back. read more

Wildfether has really hit its stride now that some more time has passed since its opening. Their drinks are absolutely amazing and it's so nice to have such a great cocktail bar that makes and uses such fresh ingredients so close by. They change their menu pretty regularly to adapt to the seasons/holidays but they always have classic options too. I love how unique and varied their menu and drinks are and my husband and I have still not tried a drink we haven't liked! The building renovations and decor are also beautiful and tie the entire aesthetic together. read more

First time at Wildfether, and not the last. We came early (before 6) with no reservations, and got sat right away. We served by the bartender, so we got to ask him some questions and for recommendations. We went with 1983 Martini (espresso) and Municipality of Flavortown. Both drinks were original and well balanced. Nice place to stop before dinner. read more

Distillery in Haddonfield! Yes please! Located right on the Main Street of Haddonfield... walking distance to food and shopping! Perfect location. What more can you ask! This place has so many seating areas... has a downstairs and upstairs location, each level with a bar area. Outdoor patio seating available as well. The decor is nicely done. And the drinks even more amazing! I went with the Tropic of Cancer cocktail which excited me when I saw it had pandan in it. Reminds me of my mom as she makes Filipino desserts using pandan all the time. It was so good.. i could drink this all day! Next drink i had was the 1983 Martini which is their take on an espresso martini! It was also good... gave the smell of orange right before you sip and then ends with a nice expresso finish. My husband had the flower power... super smooth! Can't wait to go back! Glad I'm in the area! read more

We went back and brought friends. They really liked it. We sat upstairs which I liked a lot better since there was more space. And our server was great and friendly. Our drinks came out more quickly too. ***So I came up with the idea of running over since we were eating nearby. I put my name down and I was quoted a 30 min wait. We finished dinner and I got the txt that our table was ready so the timing of everything worked out perfectly and we didn't need to wait outside in the gross humidity.*** read more

You need a reservation. Won't sit four people at the bar because they consider that a big party...

I stopped by Wildfether yesterday and came away thoroughly impressed. It's a beautiful space and, unless you head into Philly, I don't think there's another bar like this anywhere nearby. It'd be a great spot for a date, a drink with friends, etc. There's lots of seating, with a bar downstairs and a larger bar upstairs, plus patio seating on both floors. I only had the one cocktail, but I tried my wife's mocktail (they can make a mocktail version of almost all of their drinks) and that was also great. The rest of our party enjoyed their drinks and the space too. I would agree with other reviewers that mentioned it took a little while for drinks to arrive. We were seated quickly, our order was taken quickly, we were promptly given water, but it took maybe 10 minutes for the actual cocktails to arrive. Honestly, the wait didn't bother me and I fully expect that their speed will pick up in time (they haven't even been open for two weeks yet). Overall, I'm excited to return to Wildfether in the future. Honestly, I was so happy with my drink that I bought a bottle of their bourbon (it's excellent!). read more

Wildfether Distilling - Flower Power (a bourbon based cocktail) - Distilleries Near Me - Haddonfield, New Jersey

A must go. Drinks are amazing. Great but lesser known spot in Haddonfield. Really enjoyed this place.

i've wanted to try here for a very long time. We made a reservation before our dinner. The host greeted us and was very very friendly. The space upstairs is very big and wide open. It's like being in someone's home bar. our server can best be described as just OK. She became a little condescending when we asked questions about the drinks. She was also hard to track down and seemed to frequently ignore our table. I'm not sure if this was on purpose because of the questions that were asked or if it was just very busy. The cocktails on the other hand were perfect. They were well thawed out and well executed. I would like to give this place. Another chance to see if this poor service was just a fluke. read more

I don't give 5 stars lightly but this one is well deserved. Wildfether manages to take the unique character and charm of historic Haddonfield and marry it with a modern, cool vibe. Made reservations here for pre-dinner drinks and upon arrival was warmly greeted and escorted to our table upstairs. The warm lighting made for a cozy atmosphere with a mix of high tops, 'nooks' and a bar area. Rio was our waitress and she amazing. Friendly, attentive and so personable. She really was the icing on the cake of our visit! The winter menu had recently come out - the Risky Short was nothing short of fantastic. And I don't even drink bourbon. We somewhat reluctantly left for dinner across the street at Umile (also amazing) but wound up coming back over for a nightcap as we waited for Ubers. Rio was back in action serving us and we are now convinced that we need to clone her! All in all highly recommend! read more

They have the potential to be really good. But get it together. Thursday night. Party of five. Can't walk in in the middle of summer for a drink? The whole bottom floor is empty and we can't stand at the bar and have a drink bc a large group has reserved the larger area? Why would they give up business when drinks are 20 a pop?! Can figure this out. Want them to be successful and it appears lately some of the businesses in town are making mediocre decisions read more

Lots of potential, but just not there yet. The drinks were good and I appreciate that there was a decent variety on their menu. They also do mocktails that weren't advertised. The space itself is also cute, but the service was slow. I know it's their opening weekend, so I hope that they will find their stride in time and I would be happy to return then! read more

My friend and I stopped in last evening for the first time and we had a wonderful experience. The cocktails were well thought out and balanced, and there a great variety for everyone's pallets. The Tropic of Cancer was delicious, and we enjoyed their take on an espresso martini. The service was attentive and friendly, and the space is welcoming and cozy. Great addition to the neighborhood and we look forward to our next visit! For those who have left or are looking to leave a negative review on opening weekend or the first few weeks of a new business opening, my advice is to give the place a few chances before making up your mind. We want great businesses like this to succeed! read more

This place is such a touch of class to the already beautiful town. We walked into a very nice hostess who sat us on some cool chairs out on the beautiful porch. Our waitress was sweet and funny and made a great recommendation of a special that was way too delicious. These drinks are a step above for sure. The place is ascetically well executed with a posh vibe. I will definitely be back. read more

Well, like others in NJ, we have to put up with the "Time-Share" puritanical reservations at distillaries too...I was hoping it was not like the wineries with the same restrictive practices...way to go Comrade Murphy! We were having cocktails (1950's size and volume) and interupted on our 3rd cocktail "this table has another reservation," it put such a downer on the evening that we won't be back...hey everyone...go to the haddon avenue restaurants with a nice bar...or better yet, a trip to the liquor store for premium hooch...and have fun...the bartender with the accent was great though...haddonfield blue-hairs and 30-something misfits... read more

So finally had a babysitter, went out to dinner with four friends. We wanted to go to wildfether after dinner, but we were denied as there was no seating. I asked for standing room, ya know like any other bar has in the world from London to NY to LA, but the hostess said, "It's a distillery not a bar." Ok... Is this a NJ regulation or is this place implementing more asinine rules to destroy their own business? read more

Recently stopped by Wildfether for the first time in 2024. We were promptly greeted by our server who took our drink order. We got the Pepperwood Chronicles and the Purple Rain and they were amazing! Next up, we had a Clover Club and But First Coffee! Again, fantastic. Easily the best cocktail menu in this area and it's not even close! While enjoying our 2nd round, the bar manager came over to talk with us and see how everything was going. He talked with us about how you guys create your menu and everything. It was such a great experience. Thank you! read more

Never made it inside as we were turned away on the porch for bringing our 3 month old baby with us. No mention of "no babies allowed" anywhere I can find online - Instagram/Facebook...there is no website. No "about" highlight on Instagram or anything of that nature. Their Resy website has info about bringing outside food, but nothing about not being family friendly. They are also not dog friendly. There are plenty other places we can go to get a drink in the area that will be welcoming to me and my friends with young families. read more
