Absolutely love the cocktails and service. The ambiance is offsetting because of the club music that is played. With the relaxed vibe of couches, it would seem more fitting to be playing jazz, acoustic guitar, or any music more relaxing.

This place is amazing. I selected 5 stars for food but there really wasn't any food. I just didn't want to lower the score over that. You are welcome to bring food in (which we saw many people do) so that is nice. We will ABSOLUTELY be going back soon and often.
Once again, Belle provided an outstanding Valentines Day event, partnering with Simply Sweets. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff (as always) charming and hospitable.

My visit to Bellemara was a revelation. The combination of unique and delightful drinks, paired with a welcoming atmosphere and passionate staff, made for an extraordinary distillery experience. If you're seeking a distillery that offers more than just great spirits—an experience that challenges the norm and stimulates the senses— Bellemara is an absolute must-visit.

Great experience. It was our first time going. Wife and I wanted to have drinks before dinner. We did 2 flights and a couple of the craft cocktails. The bacon old fashioned is perfect. Upstairs is perfect for a small party . Can't wait to do a whiskey your

Once inside, we got a feeling of warmth; a place that you want to be with friends. The tour led expertly by Fay, the head distiller - was informative, fun and eye opening to the complexities of distillation - gives insight to the care with which they craft their products - from the custom copper distillers manufactured in Italy to the design of the bar which exudes a modern vibe of ease and refinement. Definitely worth the visit and drink + leave with a few of their award winning gin!

This is a great space - downstairs bar with a few tables and hightops, upstairs with cozy couches, and outdoors (where they allow dogs). Their whiskey is great and their mixed drinks are fun. The bartender pays attention to each and every drink, not only the contents, but how they look. And the servers are amazing!! We've been back twice and will continue to drink here, bringing friends.
By FOOD, I mean the craft cocktails, which are wonderful! We always have difficulty narrowing down our choices because we want to have them all! We grabbed dinner at a nearby food truck and brought it with us to BelleMara.

Even though we had reservations, we were seated at a tiny table for two. We were a party of four. A sofa and chairs area was empty the entire time we were there. The first round came in a timely manner. We had to beg for a second drink. The drinks were rather weak, not something I had experienced in previous visits. The food was outstanding because we brought our own. Belle Mara, you can do better.

We love coming to Bellemara. Only complaint from last night was the younger women at the front when you walk in. She had an attitude when I asked her if the stamping on the hand was a new thing. Ignored me 3 times and when she finally answered she was very rude. I've been to the distillery multiple times and have never been stamped so I was just curious if it was a new thing. There's no need to have an attitude with your customers. It made me want to turn around and leave. Some people are allergic to ink and she went to stamp my hand without even telling me what it was...
