The drinks were great! There was a bit of a line, but I'm glad. That means the bartenders were taking their time crafting the cocktails that were ordered. Upon receiving our drinks, my wife and I agreed that the bartender, (I think his name was Derek,) was one of the nicest fellows we've met. He answered all of our questions precisely and had a great personality. Highly recommend!

We went for the first time last night on the suggestion of a stranger and we had a blast! Great prices, decent service, and wonderful musicians!

Walked in at 9:07pm, was told they called last call and are closed. Website says open till 10pm. Facebook says open till 10. Google maps says open till 10. Guess the night shift had more important things to do tonight

Place is awesome. Great spirits and Carmen made delicious drinks. Timber, the Golden Retreiver, greeted everyone that comes in. Can't wait to go back

Awesome distillery with craft cocktails and small bites. House made mixers and sauces really elevate their drinks. The espresso martini melted in your mouth like a cup of high quality chocolate milk, while the whiskey sour was soft and pillowy with a dry finish. Parking was easy to find in the lot. Service was fast and friendly on a Saturday afternoon. Facilities were clean inside and out. They offer indoor and outdoor seating with protection from the sun and heaters outside. The patio is also super dog friendly, equipped with poop bags, dog treats and water bowls. Can't wait to come back!

Great spot. Do all their alcohol in house. So tasty. Great space, clean, good music.

Be ready to pay big for tiny drinks and $16 styrofoam plates of pasta. A light shot of whiskey, an aluminum can of beer (no draft) and half of plate of cheese and crackers was $24. No waitstaff. Water is in the corner.

One bartender working on a busy Friday night. Stood there waiting for 10 minutes at the little bar for a drink and the bartender never even made eye contact. I left.

I came here because my one friend told me that it was a cool place to hang out and she was going to be playing trivia. I was really happy that the parking lot was not full and I was able to find a spot very easily. I know the trivia sometimes packs a crowd so it was nice that there was space. They don't have food but I saw a few people bring over pizza from a restaurant that was close by. So it was really neat that you could bring in your own food that would compliment whatever you were drinking.The trivia was super fun and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Our team did win by one point, humble brag, so I would want to come back if I'm in town again for trivia.Because I'm not currently drinking, thank you breastfeeding, I opted for one of their mocktails to quench my thirst. And let me tell you it was delicious. I got the Immunitni. When I first read it I thought that it would be really good just because of the ingredients and then I was excited because it said hot ginger beer. I actually thought that the drink would be warm. And it was very chilly out so I thought a warm drink would be nice. But it was hot as in spicy not temperature. I got a little bit of a giggle out of that. The drink was still delicious so it was really happy. I only was staying for a little bit because I had to get home to wake up early, again thanks kids, but I wish that I would have been able to have another one of their mocktails before I went.I liked the art on all of their walls. Especially the chalk art. It was super cool inside. You can actually see where the distillery is through the windows and that was where I was sitting. It was pretty neat, the space wasn't large but it got the job done.Looking forward to going there again.

Stopped in on Saturday night. Loved the old fashioned and my wife loved the candied apple so much she got a second one. The Small Town Rollers were playing and they were great, I can’t wait to go see them again

Always a decent time. The best local Distillery. White Mink Vodka is a close second only to Titos. Which I feel is high praise. You can't go wrong nor have a bad time. Please check them out, plus super close to other entrainment. Chairs!

I was brought to Altered State on a lively Friday night while visiting from out of town and was very pleasantly surprised! Very nice staff, lovely cocktails, and I really enjoyed the live music.I do think the inside bar would benefit from a designated ordering spot- waitstaff took orders from wherever clients happened to walk up to any spot bar and it was confusing as to who was waiting on a drink being made and who was waiting to order. Also the main bar had seating available, but if people people were actually sitting at the walk up bar I could see this being uncomfortable for customers. Not enough of an issue for me to take that away from the establishment though!
