Amalga Distillery is now my favorite place to grab a drink in Juneau - the vibe here is laid back, drinks have the best prices I've seen in years, and the staff if friendly. $5 for a gin and tonic, in this economy?!! The quality of the gin is great as well. I sat on a comfy couch near the front and caught up on all my emails and social media posts while I enjoyed a nice gin & tonic (they do limit two drinks per stay however). Overall great bar if you are in to gin!! read more

When looking up some information on a brewery this business popped up and we just had to check it out. We were greeted right away and looked at the menu for the cocktails that were available. They offer gin or whiskey drinks. There are lots of tables and tall bars to sit at and relax. The bartender was very friendly and told us about their products since we had not been there before. You can only order two drinks per person. We tried the Tallahassee and the Orgeat Gimlot as well as the Sea Donkey. All drinks were very tasty. We will be back next time we are in town. Unfortunately they don't ship out of town. read more

Extremely good customer service! Five stars we highly recommend. If you're in Juneau you should definitely visit.

The spot is a cool, chill location. The bartender was very knowledgeable on all the drinks. Tried the Manhattan and Gin & Tonic. Both are good. Very well made drinks and great tasting. Definitely a place to stop and relax for a handcrafted cocktail. read more

I can't say I was too big a fan of the drinks but I'm also not a gin person. It wasn't very busy so we were able to get a seat by the windows and people watch. read more

Amalga is a small distillery on the outskirts of downtown offering a free tasting, craft cocktails and grab and go cans. They only had Juniper Gin for both tasting and cocktails so not quite the distillery we had in mind! The gal at the counter was super sweet and inviting and the gin was smooth and sweet as well. As a distillery, they have a two drink minimum which is great for a little diversion from the tourist area. Sadly, two of the folks in our group didn't like gin so we didn't stay long! read more

Talk about a cool downtown Juneau spot to get a delicious drink alone, as a pair, or group! The decor is welcoming & a cool chill vibe. High top tables or low. Shared tables with strangers or not. The employees were all smiles. Eager to describe the cocktails of the day or the drink of your choice! As a distillery you can purchase Amalga gun & more! I definitely recommend stopping by this gem. read more

Great distillery in downtown Juneau. I'm normally not a gin fan, but Amalga charged me. Their cocktails are awesome. If you happen to get lucky, pick up a bottle of their whiskey or smoked peated whiskey when they make a batch! read more

Great distillery in downtown Juneau! Fantastic cocktails at a reasonable price! Yummy NA Rhubarb Soda.

A must stop on your visit to Juneau! The owners make you feel very welcome and explain their process using local resources. The gin and whiskey alone are spectacular. I decided on a gin and tonic which was a smooth delicious cocktail read more

We stopped in here on a soggy Juneau day fresh off the cruise ship. I loved the big copper distillery and and the open seating. Then bartender was friendly and handled the huge influx of people with grace. I had a gin cocktail that was fruity and I can't remember the name (but it was awesome). Nice vibe. Good drinks. All around nice stop! read more

Got some delicious cocktails at Amalga Distillery, so no complaints! My strawberry spruce bursted with strawberry flavor, but was completely balanced. Mr B enjoyed his grapefruit rosemary gin and tonic too. Loved the ambiance, as we sat in two comfy chairs overlooking the pretty mountain, and some downtown sites. Our bartender was really sweet, and gave us a short pour of their Amalga gin to try. Amalga Distillery is a great spot! read more

So fun and surprisingly affordable! The gin drinks were fantastic. The space is bright and fun and clean! The service was quick and kind! There wasn't anything that wasn't great about this place! And the best part, I believe my two cocktails were $14 total. $8 for one and $6 for the other. All their drinks were great too. Explore and try something new! read more

LOVE Amalga!! First learned about Amalga when dining in Anchorage. Make sure to stop in every time I'm in Juneau. The menu changes frequently, daily even, so be sure to check it out! Their cocktails are on tap but they add some ingredients like aquafaba to the coffeetini in real time so they still have the classic presentation and flavors of freshly shaken cocktails. Abundant seating and cute gifts and swag in the back. read more

So I'm still catching up on reviews of all the places we stopped at on our cruise last summer - this review is from last June, though I doubt they've changed much, other than presumably being less busy during the no-cruise-ship season. Though it wasn't that busy when we were there, either - there were plenty of seats, with a vibe less like a traditional distillery, more like a coffee shop, a place you could hang out for a bit. I was just here to try spirits, though - and their spirits are top notch. Unlike really anywhere in California, you can try a sample of their spirits at no charge - at the time, they had two products available. First, a very smooth, seriously flavorful gin made with locally sourced botanicals (exactly the sort of gin I look for in a craft distillery! Definitely bought a bottle!), and secondly, a wonderful cognac-barrel-aged whiskey. Also unlike California, distilleries in Alaska are also allowed to sell you cocktails (yay for weird local liquor laws - people complaining about only being able to be served two drinks, at least they can serve you any!) I was just there to try the spirits, but while I'd been spoiled by all the complimentary cocktails, being midway into a week-long cruise, there was also a total lack of craft American whiskey on the ship, just a sea of JD and Maker's, so I had to try their house old fashioned. Obviously, it was also wonderful, and (at the time, a few months ago), only $10. Lot pricier than "free", but very worth it. Even more so if your drinks aren't all comped for a week once you make it back "home"! Oh, they also have $5 canned pre-made cocktails with their gin, and having now gotten home and opened them, I can confirm, they're also great. Though I'm guessing the specific drinks might rotate? read more

I love gin and appreciate anywhere that specializes in gin. This gin is delicious, flavorful, reminiscent of the majestic pines that cover the land here, and packs a punch! I had the classic g&t with house made tonic for the true test and could have drank it all day. I also got the raspberry fizz and it was so refreshing. The big stand out was their rhubarb g&t. The space is beautiful, light and airy great for casual chilling and meet ups. I love the pink bubble lights!!! The canned cocktails are also amazing and as someone who doesn't like beer, I appreciate a grab and go canned option when everyone else in my group is reaching for a can of beer. read more

Amalga Distillery - Raspberry fizz - Distilleries Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

Super friendly and tastes good! The cocktail menu is fantastic! They also have non Alcoholic option of basil lemonade. They make their own gin and whiskey and the big barrel houses 1000 gallons of beer that after 2 times distillery gets to 50'gallons production only at 80% alcohol level. The actions are in place constantly during the day, so come in to chill, drink and watch, very fun! The staff explains what they are doing in a super friendly manner. Unlike the old distillery you can't smell anything in the store and it has a clean and green coffee house kind of ambiance. read more

I don't like gin and tonics but I wanted to come in bc of the vibe it gave! Now I know gin and tonics are not bad at all, but its just not my drink of choice. I went here because of the vibe as wella s my friend raving about it. I was skeptical at first but honestly, I would come back and have every single flavor. If I lived in Alaska, I wuld move here just for this place! I would heavily recommend coming to this place even though you dont like gin. It is so light and refreshing after a day of shopping and hiking! read more

I simply loved this distillery while on vacation in Juneau and went here about three times! Amalga makes such fantastic mixed drinks I'm simply in awe! Weather was getting gray, windy and rainy(which we love except the wind) and coming in here on some evenings perfectly closed the evening. My favorite it their Hot Toddy but I had their version of a Mule among others as well during our visits here. The staff are so friendly and cheerful... very refreshing! The atmosphere is fun and trendy complimenting those amazing drinks! Checking in here on Yelp will give you a coupon for one free sticker. So definitely do the check in! read more

Amazing spot. Gets pretty crowded and because it is a tasting room (as opposed to a bar), can only serve you two drinks. But the drinks are worth it, this is a top shelf distillery. Grab a bottle to take home, the stuff is terrific! read more

Try the Sea Donkey - it's made with house made gin and house made ginger beer. The bar tenders are friendly and the vibe is chill. There's also merch for purchase if you feel like getting a souvenir. The drinks are very tasty, so make multiple trips to try them all because they're a two drink maximum per visit. read more

First of all, who knew Juneau, Alaska had a local gin? That being said, who knew it was so delicious?! I had the rhubarb gimlet (and purchased the rhubarb gin because of it) and it was SO chilly and rainy I also got the gin hot toddy. It was surprisingly delicious! The service was friendly and helpful. This is a definite comeback and heads up they DO NOT sale their gin on line so if you visit and you like it BUY it! read more

The best gin in Alaska, hands down. Take the walk up the hill, grab a drink, and buy a bottle to take home!

This is a really cool distillery right here in downtown Juneau. They had one of the best whiskeys I have ever had. The cocktails that they made with the whiskey were a little too sweet but the bartender re made our drinks and they turned out great. I wish I would have bought a bottle of their whiskey because it was that good. read more

Wow, when are we going to get a place like this in Anchorage? Amalga is more effortlessly hip than just about any spot in Anchorage. It's got it all: Location: right on a downtown street corner with massive windows which give way to massive views. Presentation: everything is clean and sparkly, it has a local vibe. It's not a tourist trap. (although I'm sure it does trap tourists!) Drinks: they have cocktails on tap. Usually this isn't something I'm thrilled about, but they are so well done! Additionally you can get cans to go for your hike/climb/paddle adventures! read more

YES - Definitely Go here In Juneau! They do events at Bears Tooth spreading their Gin they Distill sharing their love of legal bootlegging! Maura and her husband Johnathan are so cool! This was literally catty corner walk across from our hotel the Westmark Baronof In Juneau. We went basically every day for our allowed 2/per person Gin cocktails. No food just Gin. No music just Gin. No seating at the bar - standing okay - just Gin. We love the two owners and this cool Distillery. Gins change day to day but in the summer we had their Rhubarb and Ginger Beer Gin pours. They give tastes too and we picked up a special limited edition bottle we'll break open at our house warming party! When you two coming back to Anchorage to do more tastings!?! They were also written up in Alaska Air's magazine. Go Go Go! read more
