Nicest people and great drinks

On the pricey side for drinks. The food is not great. My table said the onion rings were good, but after the overly salty fries, and overly salty cold in the middle undercooked burger on a stale bun, I took their word for it.

Mmm, mmm, good. Delicious and on the top of my list to give as Christmas, and Birthday gifts this year. Clean fresh environment. Dangerous is the truth. So good.

Excellent Bourbon, nice folks to clean friendly place. A menu to come soon. So I was told.

Great band sadly the service is slow. You have to get your own drinks because they don't have a waitress. Sad to see the owner's wife working her backside off and her husband visiting If you want to succeed do the work!

Great place to play darts, good selection of drinks.

It's unfortunate they have to move from their current location, looking forward to their new location. I visit them every time I'm in town because they are a great place to go and have a drink.

I absolutely loved everything about this distillery! I walked in on a rainy day when I didn't have any real plans and ended up staying there all day! The owner, Jerry, his wife (Crystal), daughter and the regulars were so friendly and so much fun! The day just flew by and they had karaoke that night which is always so much fun too. They made me feel like part of the family! The products were equalily amazing! I swear the Jerry is a genius! Some how whatever flavor is on the label is truly the taste you will get from the liquor. The Black Fire is actual magic as it will leave you so confused and amazed as it will change from black licorice when you taste it to a cinnamon finish! I am a rum girl and if I lived closer I would have a supply of the Island Butter because it is truly like hot buttered rum in a bottle! No need to add anything. I also loved the Royalty which is a delicious rye whiskey based liquor. I loved so many of the flavors like Cinnamon, Southern Orange, Gingerbread, Island Coconut, Peach, and Emerald Isle. Unfortunately I flew to SD so I could only buy so many but if I lived closer I would absolutely have so many of these on my bar! If you are in Rapid City don't miss this amazing distillery!

Don't get the pizza. It's frozen. As in, I watched them take it out of the grocery store packaging and pop it in the countertop toaster oven.

It's dangerous and they warn you; it's just so easy to drink. I don't know what magic is going on here but nothing has any alcohol burn, but it's definitely in there. Everything we tried (which was nearly everything on the menu) was flavorful but not overdone. I highly recommend a stop here but don't come expecting a typical bourbon that has a harsh burn, as these are flavored liqueurs. The owner was super friendly and was a pleasure to talk with. We had to get out of there before we got too tipsy to walk back to the car because everything was so good. We bought a couple of bottles to take home and can't wait to enjoy them. Keep up the great work Jerry!

Karaoke on Saturday night was fun! Thanks a bunch also picked up some coffee liqueur! Try some samples they are bound to have something you will love!

Happened to park nearby and couldn't help but pop in. Classy joint that's unafraid of salty bar-talk. Upon entering, we were greeted with delicious scents of pub food. The bartender graciously allowed us to sample their rums and crafted us exquisite mixed drinks that were smooth and flavorful as all get-out. Will be picking up a bottle to take home next time we visit.

Wow! What a great place, they went over everything with a detailed description. This is different experience than other distilleries which made it better. My favorite was black fire.

Spencer Haley

For a "Distillery" I saw no signs of any distillery equipment at all. This is more of a flavored liquor bar than anything.
