Shoutout to Tanner for her fantastic service at Black Band. She proactively ensured that our party of 12+ had everything taken care of, and gave us wonderful cocktail recommendations. Thanks, Tanner!

Meh… another distillery bent on such a good idea they get in front of themselves. The gun is underdeveloped and the whiskey is not aged near long enough. Mostly, the bartenders have a corn cob up someplace dark and just aren’t friendly.

We were able to get a table at 5pm on a Friday without reservations. They were so accommodating. The food and drinks were amazing. Our server did an a good job explaining everything on the menu to us. We will definitely be back!!

Went here for the Valentine's event that was made out to be very private and exclusive. it was not. we were sat upstairs with people who were pretty obviously not participating in the event. the musicians were good but they didn't seem very enthusiastic to be there. I will say the food was delicious and the drinks were good as well, but for upwards of $300 pre paid for the event i expected at least a drink or maybe a bottle of wine. we could've spent the $100 we spent on drinks and got food from the regular menu and came out cheaper than what we spent. I kind of feel like I got scammed to be honest. the event description was misleading and that feels a little predatory. We will probably be back for food on the regular menu, but we definitely won't be doing any sort of events here again.

Need a dinner recommendation? Check out Black Band! Between the food, drinks, atmosphere and staff, you can’t go wrong. This place consistently impresses with fabulous food on an ever changing menu, so you won’t get bored. And the cocktails, yes please! Some of my personal current favs include the Dragon’s Breath Old Fashioned and chèvre dumplings. If you are looking for a fun, nostalgic vibe, visit them on a Monday night for a DJ spinning vinyl records.

One of our favorite spots for cocktails and food! We especially love sitting upstairs. Chevre Dumplings are hands down one of our favorite menu items. If they’re offering caviar service 10/10 recommend. The Feathered serpent & any gimlet, you can’t go wrong!

Great atmosphere. Food was unbearable. Would not return. Pork belly ewe! I knew when I asked there would be no ketchup for the burger. Ketchup not cool? Very expensive. Classy but you gotta have something more. Got mustard in the wing sauce. Who puts mustard on wings? Need I go on?

Atmosphere great food was terrible and over priced!

The place looks amazing inside, the bartenders are very friendly. But here's the rub, when u charge $150 per bottle of a new bourbon and you know literally nothing about it... that's management . The food wasn't anything special, but the building is Impressive. We hope it evolves.

Good whiskey, the bar is small but intimate. We enjoyed the happy hour, beautiful decor, and sitting at the bar watching drinks be made.Very fun start to our datenight.

Great Food. Greater Whisky. Greaterer Service. Greatererer Vibes. Classy retrofitted establishment in the heart of the original whiskeytown.

The food and drinks are good, a little pricey, though nottotally out of line, but the portions are small, the service is acceptable.They make you pay $3 per person for a reservation, justto reserve the table. No application of this money to thebill. One of our party didn't show, so I paid $19 for five people. When we arrived there were several empty tables.This is another way that businesses like this have found topass along their operating costs to the customer. Thoughthe food and drinks were of good quality, I doubt I will returnbecause of this attitude one should pay through the noseand enjoy it.
