Halloween is not my favorite holiday but they were decorated appropriately. It was a Monday on vacation and we were day drinking...so the bar was pretty empty and quiet. Joey was our bartender and he was quite entertaining. You could also see the distillery behind the bar and people working. I thought that was pretty neat! We decided to start with espresso martinis and Joey did not disappoint. He told us a lot of cool stories while we sat at the bar and drank our delicious beverages. We then decided to have a French 75...Joey again exceeded expectations...look at he curl on that lemon peel! Stellar. Even the bathrooms were GORGEOUS! This was our sixth year vacationing at Topsail and our first time here. We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be returning!

Even my mocktail was really good! I also really appreciated that the bartender came over to explain that what I ordered might still contain a small amount of alcohol, just in case I was trying to avoid it completely. That really says a lot about the care and attention they give their customers.

There are some countertop tables outside, but no seating. When you go inside, it's a small space so it's meant for buying bottled rum and merchandise to-go. Currently they have three different kinds of rum, made on site. We sampled all 3 of the rums: Porch Dog, Queens Share, and Sea Level. All of the rum is set on French oak for 30 days. I liked porch dog and sea level the most, they were very smooth. Porch Dog is 80 proof and distilled with coffee, figs, apricots, raisins. Sea Level rum is 68 proof, distilled with port wine and vanilla. Queens Share is 100 proof and very strong tasting. If you like rum, you definitely have to check this place out. Their hours are not very convenient at the moment though, only open Saturdays.

Jake was an amazing bartender/host. He gave us the run down and was super nice. They have 4 kinds of rum. My favorite was the Over Proof or the Queen's Share since its doubled distilled.

My wife and I did the VIP…read moretour and it was amazing - very well led by SAM who spoke well on how they make their spirits as he showed us around, helping us pick spirits for our sampling and leading us through the equipment then to the "secret" Speakeasy. We loved our time at Twelve 33, enjoying our visit with SAM and KEVIN, the food, the spirits and the general feeling of joy persistent throughout the facility. Highly recommend you work in time to visit! TOUR $29 per person gets you a very personalized tour with an employee - in our case, that employee was SAM TICE who we learned is the Assistant Distiller and Operations Manager so he definitely knows his stuff! On the tour, you start by picking your spirits that will be on your tasting flight. Yeah, it seems weird to pick them up front but then while you're on the tour in the back, their staff is pouring all your spirits so they are ready for you when you're done - very efficient! And don't worry, your guide will assist you in selecting spirits and there's a very descriptive menu to help you out as well. SPIRITS The spirits I tried were excellent and my wife enjoyed hers as well, starting with their Intemperance Vodka that both of us got and fell in love with. And that's saying something! We are both Belvedere fans as our number one vodka of choice, and it's a Rye vodka so normally we're not in on the corn/wheat types but this vodka was smooth, delightful and fun enough that we purchased 2 bottles on our way out. Beyond that, our tastes went different directions as I loaded up on whiskeys and my wife went the tequila and cream liquor route. My favorite was the Triple Oaked whisky which I also procured a bottle of as we exited SPEAKEASY Such a fun surprise - at the end of the tour, you open their speakeasy by uttering the password, and step back into time with early 1900's decor and music, plus your tasting flight waiting with water and pretzels for you to enjoy. They give you time to taste and also select a cocktail (included in the tour) from their menu which they bring to you to imbibe in this fun room! FOOD We only tried one item from their Small Bites menu - a flatbread - but it was awesome. Very interesting flatbread as it was smaller than I think we expected but the ingredients were perfectly balanced and appropriately sized - we had the BBQ Chicken pizza with BBQ sauce, roasted chicken, purple onion and 3 cheese blend. It was cute and the perfect amount of food for a snack before we moved on to dinner closer to our hotel. STAFF Besides SAM who gave us the tour, we met KEVIN OSBORN, the founder/owner/head distiller who swung by to say hello and chat for a moment. He was very nice and it was great of him to drop by. We had servers and other staff that were equally friendly and welcoming - a warm, enthusiastic group of people that all seem to truly love working at Twelve 33 Distillery, and it made our visit even better

Then the tour started and they allowed us to interact with all of the elements and explain the process and it was actually a ton of fun!! It was also great that it's a small family owned place using a process that has been in place for many generations. Did I mention the free tasting at the end? A great, non-corporate local spot that I would certainly bring friends and family to and would love to go to one of their events with the local bands that play there. Great fun! Thanks!

The three of us were on a girls' trip to Oak Island, so we took the golf cart over to Lone Rider. Parking was easy, even with a short wait for an outdoor table. But there were plenty of picnic tables and bar seating where we could relax in the meantime. Once we were seated outside, the view overlooking the sound was absolutely worth it. Peaceful, relaxing, exactly what we were hoping for. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. We all ended up ordering the Smash Burger, and yes, despite the lettuce headlines, we kept the lettuce on and lived to tell the tale. My friends chose tots, and I went with the fries. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the Smash Burger on Texas toast was a great twist. Prices felt fair for the area, especially given the location and overall vibe. No live music the night we visited, but they host bands and events on other nights, which sounds like a fun reason to return.
