Upscale distillery near Martinsburg. Pretty countryside location. The decor and buildings are tastefully decorated. Plenty of tables , cozy couch and chair seating , pergolas and more! Patio equipped with fun corn hole set up! They feature specialty drinks monthly. The pours are generous- the cocktails excellent !! They do not have a kitchen but they feature a food truck or two. If you want beer - they only offer PBR,. Nice set up ! Check this place out if you are in the area . The bourbon is really great!! Blood Orange Bourbon Buck is my favorite - double shot of their bourbon, blood orange puree and ginger ale !!! Bartenders are friendly and quick - tip them well !! If they could do something better - would suggest maybe having some IPAs to go along with the PBR as lighter choices. Variety read more

A hidden gem. For over a year we wondered about what Black Draft Distillery would be like. Although we both are retired seemed like we were always busy and could not stop on our way through the area. This weekend was for us. First the free tasting introduced us to a great product. Next two choices of Novembers cocktail made especially for our taste were enjoyed by the fireplace. As I teased my Wisconsin family members about warmup drinks and no snow on the ground, we spilt a flight of 1/2 size cocktails. The decor meant a lot to me since my family had ponies, horses growing up and our Dad had his pets. They were Belgian workhorses, his babies. They behaved better than us kids. The following pictures do not do justice to the caring ladies with their friendly, and warm personalities. Like we told them we will be back and I cannot forget we bought some Christmas cheer to take home. read more

Had the opportunity to try out Black Draft today while brewery hopping. What a beautiful and cozy environment. There were two indoor sitting areas and a large outdoor area as-well. One building drew quite a crowd which offered live music. I love live music but it was very LOUD and the wait to get a drink was significantly longer. That being said, we went to the other building which was way more laid back and homey. There was no wait and the bartender was SO helpful/patient offering suggestions. There was a food truck on site tonight, but unfortunately food was relatively bland and the wait was lengthy. Would love to return in the future. read more

We have been to Black Draft several times and I just noticed I had not reviewed them, so here are some notes..... Beautiful grounds!. It is a farm with stunning rolling hill views. Several different tasting rooms ( a couple are converted barns) so there is a lot of seating. Lots of outdoor seating as well. Live music and food trucks Big parking area Staff are friendly but nothing out of the ordinary Mixed drinks and PBR. Spirits are ok, good for mixing, I dont think they are for sipping. Gift shop on site with logo apparel, bottles and small gifts Note each bar area is a separate check system so you cant move around the grounds all on one tab. My rating rationale +.5 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value read more

Black Draft Distillery - Bar in barn 5 - Distilleries Near Me - Martinsburg, West Virginia

Fun distillery in a beautiful area just west of Downtown Martinsburg. I like to call this the graduation from wine tasting. Just remember, you're sampling liquor so get ready for a fantastically fun time! The lady doing the samples is a hoot and hauler! She's got lots of fun facts and jokes which instantly make her your new best friend. Don't get scared. Yes, it is liquor but they have deliciously tasty cocktails if you're feeling a tad timid. They can create a homemade seltzer with any of their spirits. My recommendation is the mint vodka with watermelon. Have that on a nice summer day with some food from their food trucks. Honestly, even if you're not a drinker, come here and order a beverage + food. The atmosphere and views alone are worth a visit. read more

Wow! This place is amazing! Right outside downtown Martinsburg in a great location. The views are beautiful, the place is also beautiful. I can't say enough great things about this place. The service was so friendly. They make their own liquor and you can drink that or they have lots of fun cocktails using their liquor. They also have other drinking options. All for amazing prices. They always have a food truck and the one that was there when we went was BBQ and tasty! They have TVs where you can watch the game. They also have live music which we got to enjoy while there. If I lived here I would frequent this place!! read more

Lovely rural location outside of Martinsburg. Well maintained, two spacious buildings plus plenty of outdoor seating. If you want to hear music, there's a space for that; if you want to talk, there's a space for that as well. Cozy fireplace and sofas and chairs as well as tables. Food truck the night we went was on point - I believe they alternate different food options. Fully stocked bar, and they even have one standard beer for those of us who don't want hard liquor. Place includes a small general store where you can purchase their products to take home. Service was friendly. Can't wait to visit in the summer. read more

Kudos to everyone Such a nice place & customer service is awesome drinks were spot ON read more

This place is the absolute best!!! Amazing owner! Amazing staff! Amazing drinks! Amazing place and views! And they bring in some amazing food vendors and live performers. I wish there was a better word than amazing because it really doesn't do the experience justice. Everyone was soo nice and friendly. You can tell they enjoy working their and after meeting with the owner and getting a personal tour for our HUGE group that was in town for training, I can see why and would definitely want to work there too. The owner, Glen, gave out group some samples directly from the barrels still in process and lesson on each sample. He's so personable and you can tell he loves and have fun doing what he does! A regular visit here entails a free tasting of all the liquor they make here and they have some tasty cocktails made from each for purchase (great prices!). My entire group worked our way down the cocktail list (some of us a few times haha). My favorite was easily the mango strawberry lemonade and peach rye sour, but they have something for everyone. They will also make you whatever mix you want if you don't want to choose from the cocktail menu, they have other fresh juices to choose from. They make, bottle, and label everything right there on site! It's impressive! They have a gift store that sells all their liquors, T shirts, hats, and few other things. If you are a first responder, they give a 15% discount on bottles (might be anything in the gift store, can't quite remember). read more

Great distillery! The whiskey is my favorite. Food trucks revolve...so always different. Huge outdoor patio and live music.

Black Draft's Rise and Shine is so unique and delicious, and this is coming from a non-coffee drinker. read more

Black Draft Distillery - Flight sampler - Distilleries Near Me - Martinsburg, West Virginia

Very nice laid back kind of place. The staff was very helpful. We've never been there before. So we had a few questions. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They had live music, food trucks. And a weinery they fix hotdogs. The hours are when they are there they're open. When they're not they're closed. Very fun place. They put out an awesome bourbon. I bought a bottle to take home. Prices are average for everything. Overall I'd have to say they are doing a great job with their business. I will be back again. read more

Awesome environment and the tasting was informative and fun. I was there one day by myself and did the tasting. I can't remember her name (maybe Jill) but she was awesome. I liked everything we had in the tasting and purchased a few assorted bottles. The live music was great and the Food by Fire (I think) had DELICIOUS Brussels sprouts! read more

Really enjoyed the vibes at this venue. The whisky tasting along with the background behind the distillery. Locally sourced grown and brewed this place is a must visit. The staff is amazing and very knowledgeable about the whiskey read more

We enjoyed the tasting! Everything was delicious! Great atmosphere knowledgeable and friendly staff incredibly smooth spirits what more could you ask for! Next time we will taste the delicacies offered by the local food trucks. We will be back! read more

What a great place! Owners and staff couldn't have been better. Very nice facility. We left with two bottles, good stuff!

Made a reservation for an outdoor cabana upon a recommendation of a friend, filled out the Google form and didn't hear anything for a few days. Called and spoke to a super nice lady, so I felt optimistic about it. Unfortunately, the weather was anticipated to be terrible, so I asked about an inclement weather policy and never heard back. Arrived to no one waiting on us (we were supposed to have our own server) because they all went home due to weather (it stormed). Eventually we went back outside but it only took 3 minutes for someone to come over and tell us that kids needed to be within arms reach at all times because they were concerned about liability. I just got bad vibes from this place and we won't be back. read more

Great products wonderful atmosphere for entire family. Food choices always different always good

Great venue to say the least! We reserved a table for a bachelor party thanks to Amy and were able to take part in a tasting. The tasting was informative and their liquor had a few of us picking up bottles for the rest of the night. The live music was great on their outdoor patio with plenty of seating. The staff were friendly and accommodating to our group and even stop to chat when they could! The food truck, Food by Fire, had some amazing food to go along with the cocktails. If you're in the area you should definitely stop by (and stalk their instagram to see what food truck(s) will be there)! read more

Good special mixed drinks and food trucks have been good. Can also do a regular mix drink for 6 bucks. Tasty liquors

Great place. Wonderful management. As a tourist I felt so welcomed into the food. Live music was so much fun. So worth a trip.

Who knew there was a distillery in Martinsburg! They were featured in a local event so I signed up for a tour. The owner was so knowledgeable and easygoing. We did a tasting afterward and I've never been a Moonshine fan, but this stuff was good. It was smooth and had a good taste. Plus they have coffee and mint infused versions. Everything they use is local. They even take local WV oak to the guy that makes their barrels. They use Black Dog Coffee for the coffee version and of course local mint. A great place and I certainly will be going back! read more

My husband and I are on our first 'no kids' vacation, so we were looking for fun things that we wouldn't normally get to do with our kids in tow. We popped in for a tour this afternoon and were blown away by the set up at Black Draft. We were given a tour by Glenn (the owner) and later joined by his wife Tara. First off, Glenn and Tara clearly love what they do and have a passion for the art and craftsmanship of running a distillery. Second, they are just fun people. Glenn is clearly a people person and made us feel at home. It was more like an afternoon with friends than a tour. Third, and most importantly, their moonshine and bourbon are amazing. Black Draft has taken such pride in the creation of their spirits that the quality of their product shines. We loved it so much that we walked out with one of everything. We will definitely be spreading the word and you will for sure hear from us again. Thank you Glenn and Tara for a great afternoon! read more
