Crappy service. Server noticed me several times but too busy doing mainly nothing but shots with guests. Left and went elsewhere

This was a beautiful day to sit outside in Santa Barbara, sipping a tasting flight of Vodka, Gin, Whiskey, and Liqueur at Cutler's Artisan Spirits. We ended up buying 2 bottles of Grandma's Tommy's Apple Pie Liqueur. It was like drinking an apple pie out of a glass.

A must try! My favorite was their bourbon and their coffee liquor. Everything else was good too. And they definitely know how to make an old fashioned.

Wanted a break from wine tasting in Santa Barbara and was in the mood for some cocktails. Cutler's had good reviews on Yelp so we decided to give it a try. Wow! What a great place. Got seated right away in their distillery and cocktail patio. Atmosphere is fun and laid back. You never have to flag down a server because they're constantly checking in on you. And holy cow, the drinks are strong but flavorful. The bartender must have a heavy hand because you certainly get your money's worth lol.

We had a lovely evening at Culter’s! Heather our bartender was knowledgeable about the menu and knew all about the history behind the spirits. Best espresso martini i’ve ever tasted, hands down! Super festive and delicious drinks. We’ll for sure be back! They also have heaters ?.

Friendly staff. Good mixed drinks. Great gin and cold brew. The Apple is good but sweet and smooth so be careful, like apple juice with a hidden bite.

Great booze. I accidentally left my jacket there. Silly me. I called to see if they had it. Had to call 2x to get a response. Our waitress that day was more interested in chatting to her friends. I had to go inside and find her to bring us water after she served us a flight. I should have known from her in inattentiveness that my jkt would not be located. Ian cutler called me after 2 calls to tell me they didn't find it. It is nice when people care and sux big time when they don't

You have to go to the patio for the cocktails. The flight was wonderful and delightful a must to do.
I knew about Cutler's vodka years ago. But I stopped drinking vodka a year ago. It started to taste like lighter fluid. Odd, after three plus decades drinking it. At a Santa Barbara Maritime Museum function, I saw a bottle of Cutler's whiskey (the regular one, not the 33) and asked the bartender to make a Manhattan with it. It was too sweet (I don't like that much vermouth) so I just started drinking it on the rocks. Outstanding! Then a few weeks later, at La Paloma, I asked the bartender what gins they serve. The usual : Bombay Sapphire (yuck), Tanqueray (not T10, also yuck), Henrdicks (snooze). He suggested Cutlers and proceeded to make one of the best martinis I've had in SB. So I went to buy a bottle in the Funk Zone. A Dodge Ram hit me after I bought the bottle to take home, but that's not Cutler's fault Note: It is very difficult to find. Yes, next to the Lark but the numbering of the suites isn't consecutive. I didn't realize dyslexia applied to numbers as well. Took me awhile to find the tiny space where you can buy bottles next to the patio where they serve cocktails. Great people, great company, great spirits. At $40, it's more than Tanqueray 10 for a 750 mL but well worth it. If you love gin, you must try. Cutler's ships within CA but not beyond. The t-shirts on the website are adorable, too. Sexy longish v-necks. Read up on the history of the Cutler family's distillery. And support local!

Love this place and the spirits. The gin is so smooth. Duncan and Ty, who run the tasting room, are great guys. They know their stuff. They are professional and personable. The wait staff, Cada, and Heather are exceptional also. I would highly recommend stopping by when you are visiting the SB Funk Zone and are a have had your fill of wine and beer.

If you're cruising through the Funkzone and looking for some high quality spirits to perk you up instead of wine, then check out Cutler's! Their vodka is 7 times distilled to the point of where the vodka almost tastes like water. It is ultra-purified using a sophisticated 7 stage treatment process. When I first tried the Moscow Mule, it tasted watered down, but little did I know it was due to the distilled process. It definitely brought out my happy spirit lol. I don't drink vodka that often, but if I'm going to get a vodka based drink, then Cutler's is my choice. I've also tried their Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur. It is smooth, subtly sweet and delicious! You can drink this straight up and it won't burn your throat. It is made with local coffee beans from the SB Roasting Coffee Company. You can expect to taste vanilla, cacao nibs, and a rich earthy chicory. The other must try liqueur is the Apple Pie! It's the most popular here, and made with fresh apple juice and organic ingredients. They also serve up apple pie mimosa's on the weekends. If you can't make up your mind, then try their tasting flight. It's only $12. Since the pandemic they have moved outside to the back, which I actually prefer much better. There's plenty of table seating and they also share space with the other wineries and restaurants. A great place to chill and people watch.

What's just as good as wine tasting? Spirit tasting!!! Corks n' Crowns recommended this place to us so we went and are glad we did. Duncan was great and friendly. We both ordered the tasting which came with tastes of vodka, gin, whisky, burbon, apple pie bourbon, and espresso liquor. Duncan even gave us a taste of their apple pie mimosa. My favorite one! Only thing I would change is next time i would ask for some ice so I could chill them.

American whiskey and bourbon distilled in Santa Barbara? Yep. And they are wonderful. I'm only reviewing the liquor as I bought bottles of them while visiting and did not take part in the drinking establishment. I should have stocked up on more. If you like your bourbon, I highly recommend trying theirs out.
