We live local so we know the Tennessee Hills Distillery very well. From its humble openings to…read morewhere they are today, we have always enjoyed and continue to enjoy bringing friends who visit to both the Jonesboro Salt House as well as the new location in Bristol. The spirits are some of the best of any distillery we have visited. The staff is knowledgeable and the sampling is an event in itself. Don't miss the opportunity when you are close by. You won't be disappointed.

We continue to go back to the Tennessee Hills Distillery for several of our favorite spirits. Each…read moretime we find some new favorites. This was our 4th visit over 4 years. One truly remembers a place this wonderful. Located in beautiful quaint Jonesboro, there are many uniques shops and restaurants. Tennessee Hills offers tastings. The personnel are knowledgeable and friendly. We have had some of the best conversations with the staff and customers. This time we had lunch at the cafe next door. Fantastic food choices the Reuben and spicy chicken sandwiches get my highest recommendation. They offer a great number of mixed drinks made with their craft distilled spirits. Several Sunday football games were on the TVs in the cafe. The mood was festive in the cafe. Tennessee Hills has a new location in Bristol too! We will be back again and again!

Such an amazing place to visit with spectacular views and delicious ciders. Getting here is an…read moreadventure and you will feel as if you are driving through a random neighborhood along a gravel road, which you are, but as soon as you reach the parking lot and take a look out of your window you will see the most beautiful view. There is ample parking. Walking to the building is just a short few feet, and the building looks deceiving. Once you reach the front porch area you will have a better appreciation for this place. There's a building with a porch overhang that has lots of rocking chairs facing the mountain views, then there's poly furniture (one with an umbrella), picnic tables, a covered porch area, an indoor area, and outdoor patio area. The covered outdoor patio has protective sides for bad weather if needed, as well as 3 TVs. This place is absolutely gorgeous. Tons of seating options. They had shaded areas to help you stay cool and comfortable. They do have large heaters and fire pits which would be fantastic for a fall visit and I can only imagine the colorful views at that time of year. There are several options on tap of their coders. You can get a full pour or a flight. The flight was great so that we could try them all. They were tasty. The blood orange was our favorite! They also carry local beers, as well as a case of nonalcoholic beverages. There is a food truck with crab choices that is available for purchase (crab melt, crab pretzel, etc). The prices weren't bad at all. We didn't order anything so can't comment on the quality. They also have chips and suck inside the tap house, as well as shorts and some small merch for sale. The staff is absolutely fantastic and they are very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. You can tell that not only their talent is thrown into this place, but also their whole heart. They have intentionally made this place a great place to be and they make sure that everyone feels welcomed. Not sure if you can bring in outside food or not. I did see some people with bags that had kids. Call and ask as this would be a terrific gathering place to meet people or a great place to perch with a book or a podcast/music in your ears. You could even work up on this little nature oasis. It would be a super cool place to have a party, shower, or even a wedding if it was a small one. Such a vibe here.

So if the review was on the view, alone, it is a 5-star venue. What a view! I came because my wife…read morewanted to come (not a big cider fan) so I was going to get a beer. I am not from East Tennessee so when I want an IPA it needs to have some hops and bite. They told me their IPAs were "entry level" and I would say that Michelob Ultra might beat it on flavor. I ended up getting the Blood Orange and it wasn't overly sweet, so I liked it. The service there was outstanding. I really liked my time. I wish they had better beers.
