Do not miss out if they offer a distillery tour. It is one of the most comprehensive and informative manufacturing tours I’ve ever been on. The sampling of products at the end was very enlightening and tasty.

Really good distillery and really good drinks. Some smooth whiskey and tasty gin.Vibe was nice too.Getting the flight is probably the best idea, we'll definitely be going back on our next trip.

Quality distilled spirits and cocktails. Live music some nights. Some light snacks on offer as food. A great place to start your evening on Lake Ave or just chill for a little bit. I always strive to come here when visiting family in the state.

We love Vikre! The drinks are second to none and the atmosphere is very welcoming. The staff are very friendly and helpful if you're not sure what to order. Huge bonus: they're dog friendly inside! Even our baby had a good time here!

Friends and I were there on two occasions, different days , both times turned away. 1 St time was we don't have enough staff. But we could clearly see there were open tables available but they wouldn't seat us, we were there half an hour after they opened, we were told to go on line to put our name on a list. On the 2 ND time around the next day we tried the list, we also showed up an hour early and were told "we took down the wait list" and there was no room for us again. We will never go there again .

Who doesn't love a local distillery that makes specialty cocktails? It was so good that we ended up buying the Cran-Rosemary punch cocktail kit and the Cedar gin. Looking forward to making those for friends in the twin cities!

This is by far our favorite distillery. Their infused liquor is as special as their menu. Every drink is unique and crafted beautifully! Love the snacks and NA drink options they offer too!

As a non-drinker, a distillery isn't necessarily a place I would choose to go. Extremely pleasantly surprised. There was a small selection of zero-proof cocktails and, unlike most I've had, it's clear that just as much care and craft was put into the non-alcoholic portion of the drink menu as the alcoholic one.I ordered a "This Outrageous Accent" and the flavor was complex and pleasant and the drink was served beautifully.

I've stopped at Vikre almost every time I've been in Duluth over the last couple years. I love their creative cocktails and assortment of vegan snacks! The menu changes with the season and they always feature a delicious cruelty-free paté. I've loved every flavor, but this fall's white bean parsnip was my favorite; the crostini is always so delicious too. The snack box is fun as well and features a delicious cashew cheese log and vegan sausage. For us vegans, just remember to be careful picking out cocktails because they use honey in their herbal liqueur. I've made that mistake a couple times before. It would be nice if they labeled the drinks with a (v) or something, but until then I need to be more diligent.At home I always stay stocked with Vikre's spruce gin! It's such a fun twist on traditional gin with additional botanicals such as rosemary. A g+t with this is always a good option if I'm not drawn to anything on the seasonal menu!Vegetarian options: They always have a couple vegan food options. Make sure to avoid drinks with herbal liqueur if you are boycotting honey.Dietary restrictions: They have vegan and gluten-free snacks.

Came with friends on a Sunday afternoon for some cocktails. Everyone in the group was very happy with their drinks and the server was attentive and friendly. In addition to the cocktails we did a few flights to try the various spirits and they did not disappoint. if you are a gin fan you will be very pleased. even if gin is not your go to libation I am sure they will have an offering that will suit your taste. The atmosphere was very relaxing and inviting and creates a great spot to unwind and have some drinks and conversation with friends.
