I was ecstatic to find a piece of Salem in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Gallows Hill Spirits is an…read moreexcellent distillery. I've had it bookmarked for a while, so I'm glad that we got to visit. It's warm and inviting. It's also aptly named because anyone who grew up in Salem knows that Gallows Hill was the place to go drink. Behind the bar is a replica of Salem's Witch House and there is a replica of the sign by the door, which really provides that Salem feel. The decor provides an overview of the Salem Witch Trials, including naming those who were murdered, which is important. We ordered two drinks, both of which were excellent. Next time we return, we'd like to taste some of the spirits individually. We met with Robert, the proprietor, for a tour, and he provided a high-level yet comprehensive overview of the trials. He started this distillery because he is descended from one of the executed and during the tour, he shares his familial connection and how he discovered it. Robert is very friendly and welcoming. It's wicked cool to find some of Salem outside of New England, especially in my partner's home area, and especially a place that takes our history seriously and shares the truthful version. The delicious drinks are a fun bonus. You absolutely must visit this distillery when in/near the Lehigh Valley.

To buy them by the bottle is a little expensive, at least as much as a premium brand liquor. The bartender, who's their sales manager, was great. Friendly, informative and a lot of fun. We purchased a few of his custom cocktails and ended up staying here for a couple of hours. Definitely worth coming in for a sample and a cocktail. Highly recommend it.

But the owners are incredibly polite and personable. A tasting of 10 of their offerings was $22, and well worth it. Some of the drinks were hits (peanut butter whiskey), some were misses (garlic vodka) but those are probably personal preferences. Most were at least very good. We left with a bottle of pb whiskey we can't wait to share with friends.

Service was SUPER friendly, which is the main reason for…read morethe high rating here, because no one wants bad service with the price of going out these days. Overall, the bill wasn't too expensive either. However, the ambience is majorly lacking for how cool the historical building looks from outside. That was a big let down after years of seeing this in passing. It feels too much like a 90s coffee shop from Friends / a poorly converted modern bank lobby with the lighting, and the floor layout lacks flow if you're sitting at the bar. It would be an improvement to see historic qualities restored to the interior, rather than bland sheet rocking, no crown molding, etc. Aside from this, we found the music to be a very distracting and random selection of early 2000s dance, pop, EDM, emo, and rock, mixed with the occasional alt rock hit that was (finally) tolerable enough to fade into the background. The room is vacuous because of the high ceilings and hard building materials, so turning the volume down a little and choosing something consistent in tone (perhaps neo soul or just sticking to alt rock) would be beneficial for the overall atmosphere. Bottom line: would return again for the food, but the atmosphere wasn't what we expected and could be improved for a cozier, vintage styled atmosphere (but that's mostly a matter of preference). Friendly service, affordable prices, and good eats go a long way.

We were treated like an inconvenience. And even though there were bottles out for small samples, we weren't offered any. I understand that we had to go upstairs to the separate tavern for a tasting, but why have open sample bottles with a tip jar if you aren't going to sample them. Anyway, if you want to buy from this distillery (which I did taste upstairs in the tavern), I'd try to buy elsewhere. I'm going to look for them at a liquor store, instead of this poorly-staffed bottle shop.
