First thing to know is that this (like many places surrounding it) is 100% tourist bait for Braves games. So don't expect some premier level of excellence. They have a selection of mixed drinks that the typical tourist is going to find desirable but honestly I thought were poorly mixed with too much sugar to let the alcohol shine through. Also, be warned that they do not accept money but rather they require credit cards in order to settle the bill [the bartender had the audacity to look at me like I was the moron for thinking they accepted money] So the mixed drinks and service are fairly subpar, even for the fairly low expectations I have for a tourist spot outside an MLB stadium. But how is the whiskey? I took home a bottle of Fiddler Cask Strength and it's actually a good high proof wheated bourbon, and I plan to find some more of their bottles to try. So don't let the tourist storefront put you off from the product.

Excellent service! Jay and Sade made us the best cocktails and tailored the experience to our needs. Highly recommended.

Stopped by this location and did a whiskey tasting. The young lady at the bar that assisted me was awesome. For the tasting you got to choose 4 whiskies from their menu. I went along with the recommendations of the bartender. I loved the set up. Each choice had a card with its name and description I really liked 2 out of the 4. You can purchase a bottle your favorite ones. They do not prepare food here but you can purchase packaged snacks to enjoy. They also do not accept cash for payment only for tips.

Cool little place in the battery. I ordered an old fashion that was tasty, however it was $15 after tip so you have been warned.

The flight of 5 was reasonably priced and all of the sampled spirits were quite nice. The lady behind the bar was friendly and the service fast.I had to order cheese and crackers both separately. So I ordered some cheese and some sea salt crackers. They both arrived still fully packaged and sealed, I then had to open them myself and arrange in some fashion onto a paddle. I'm talking a massive slice of cheese.1) Too much cheese for one person.2) Don't be lazy, open it up and present it nicely.3) I would have appreciated a mixed plate of more variety and less quantity.Great spirits on offer, the food side needs some work.I would visit again if they manage to expand the options on food, I'm not exactly sure what my tip was for... Slap a block of cheese, a box of crackers and a knife on a paddle... Yeah it left me wondering too.

Had a wonderful time at the Gin Experience class. The instructor was very knowledgeable and presented an excellent gin history, distillery tour and guided us through picking our gin ingredients. Was provided a gin and tonic at the start of class and was also able to sample the Winterville Gin and their new barrel aged gin. Definitely go check them out!

Excellent selection. Extremely knowledgeable staff. The master distiller came out to greet us. No questions unanswered. Fantastis experience! In Atlanta? Have to stop in.

We are from Akron, Ohio and had an absolutely amazing time today! We had flights and fell in love so much with the products we left with several bottles. Thank you again for a great experience!

Really cool space inside! Patio area fun, spaced out. Strawberry dacquiri was small and not inexpensive, but totally worth it. (Strong!) Bartenders and staff nice.

Placed an online order, store was closed when I tried to pick up during business hours. Cannot get anyone to answer the phone, I am here from out of town this is very frustrating. At this point they have stolen $150 from me. I’m at a loss I don’t know what else to do. It was an additional $90 to Uber from my hotel to the store and no one was there ?
Spent an hour or so with Sophia and Maggie, wonderful folks who had great patience with the multitude life stories I shared:) I tried the Soloist, with a nice smokey burn, and the Fantastic Heartwood Bourbon. Dang good stuff that earned two and three smiley faces, respectively, on my Whiskey list! I'll be back!

Great little spirit bar. They make all their spirits. I went with a bourbon and whiskey flight. It was fun and good. Good spot in the battery. The servers were super helpful and professional.

What to do on a Monday afternoon when the traffic and crowds are low, head to the battery, and visit ASW Distillery. This is a wonderful place to explore your pallet with different whiskeys, bourbons, vodkas, and gins. From flights of delights to test what you may like over another, to handmade cocktails and more. If you get a little hungry, they have a variety of meats and cheeses, olives, and crackers. The atmosphere is open and airy with light colored decor. The staff is very friendly. If you go on a game day, you might miss out on conversations because they will be busting hump to get you your drinks. To which I add, tip them well, they work hard. I had a lovely Pinapple Express and a frozen bourbon and coke. I tried the Bohemian Raspberry as well as their Tropic Thunder. All their spirits are delicious and high quality. Come out to the Battery to enjoy a great experience. Oh, before I forget, you can order food from other places to be delivered there if you want.

First time to the Battery and was looking for somewhere to get a cocktail (plenty of places). Took a shot at ASW. Wanted a Tequila but their main liquors are Fiddler Bourbon and Bustletown Vodka. Loved sitting outside. Great people watching location.

10/10 for having tampons and pads in the bathroom for women to use - such a thoughtful gesture Anyway, this place has a prime location in the battery & liquor to back that up. They're so good, you'll swing by total wine on the way home to pick up some extra bottles My husband is a huge whiskey drinker so he tried just about all of their offerings while we were here and he loved them all. Great variety, smooth flavors and a solid bourbon he said. The rye would be perfect for your Manhatten or old fashioned I tried their gin cocktail tropic thunder and it was dangerously delicious, sweet but not too sweet. They also offer popcorn for snacking and don't forget to drink some waterPark in any of the decks in the battery and I think there's free parking on non game days Staff was knowledgeable and had plenty of suggestions for us. Open air with some fans and shade from the sun
