We ordered the Marinade Pork with Brandy Apple Butter. The mushroom rice was really good. Blueberry BBQ glazed Meatloaf was excellent. Please leave room for the White Chocolate Blackberry Bourbon ice cream. It was so good we came back the next night just for the ice cream for dessert. I have dairy issues but no issues with their ice cream. Not sure what they do differently but I'm excited I get to enjoy it also. Their staff is always attentive. You are missing a treat if you don't stop in. Enjoy

First off, I love, LOVED this place when it first opened and brought friend after friend there…read morebecause it is unique and fun, like walking into another era. However, the last time I went there (in 2024), we had a young man who was very rude serving us. He did not bring our drinks to us until one of us had to go ask him for our order! It seemed as though he may have been resentful, as our drinks were mediocre to bad - tasted like no alcohol - with hardly any volume...yet our bill - for only three drinks - was outlandishly high!! I was so disappointed and, frankly, embarrassed for District Elleven. How I wish I could have some kind of reassurance that this kind of thing would not happen again, so I would be moved to go back...the ambience gave me the best vibe being there, and that is an accomplishment in itself. A++ for ambience (and previously, also for drinks and food from next door); but now, F for service and drinks - so sad.

We visited Whiskey Lodge on Friday night after hearing there was a new owner. It had been a while…read moresince our last visit, so we were excited to check it out. The night started fun, but things quickly took a turn. From where we were sitting (not part of the group involved), I noticed a man becoming aggressive toward another nearby group--yelling at them and eventually shoving someone, which led to a fight. As someone simply watching it unfold, it was pretty clear who escalated the situation. What was most surprising, though, was how it was handled. The owner appeared to side with the individual who initiated the confrontation and ultimately removed the group instead. Later, we heard that the man involved was actually a friend of the owner. From an outside perspective, the group that was asked to leave seemed calm and was minding their business before things escalated. Watching everything unfold--and seeing how it was handled--left a really negative impression. Unfortunately, that experience made the environment feel uncomfortable and biased, which is disappointing because the night had started on such a positive note.

Went here for bingo a few weeks ago. Fun atmosphere, sat on the patio. Server was nice but they…read moredefinitely have some kinks to work out. First let's talk about their wings: their Cajun wings were BOMB! Cooked perfectly, seasoned heavily like I like it and the flavor was great! I think they may be the best wings I have found in Castle Rock. The pizza was one with prosciutto & pickled onions. So good! The crust is on point. Cooked beautifully. Just trust me on that. The server took our order but never put it in so while our friends ate and drank we got nothing. Once we were able to track down the server, she blamed the kitchen which left a bad taste in my mouth (I'd prefer she just admit she forgot to put in the order) and when my friend's pizza came out 12-15 mins later, it was the wrong pizza altogether. She got pepperoni. So they had to remake it. They still get 4 stars because the food was awesome. I would definitely go there for takeout and plan to soon!

Disappointed on the distillery prices their bottles for sale at their tasting bar lounge…read more I purchased their Colorado Mountain Bourbon Whiskey for $46.00 at the Distillery Lounge, only to found out it is sold for $31.99 at Total Wine & More and Costco. Which is a 45% markup sale price at the Distillery Lounge, could understand a 20-25% markup BUT NOT 45% , So I Definitely Won't Buy Their Product Again, they should take care of their customers better than that and there are Way to Many Just As Good Bourbon Whiskey Products. So If you want to buy their product DON'T BUY IT THERE , GO TO Total Wine & More or Costco.

We showed up about 10 minutes before our start time, met our guide Michelle, and looked around the property and gift shop. Michelle led us through the distillery, which is a pretty small operation, teaching us about their distilling process and the history of the company. The tastings were fantastic and it felt like the appropriate number for the 60-70 minutes of the tour. After the tour we got a drink at the bar to try another whisky that wasn't sampled on the tour. All the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and laid back on our Sunday evening visit. They have other events that sound really fun to come back for! I'm glad I heard about and got to try this great little spot.

We had time to go grab a cocktail from the bar prior. Ryan was behind the bar, crafting beverages for folks. My husband chose to have a Sazerac, while I went for an espresso martini. Drinks in hand we headed back to spend time with Forrest, who took us on a brief tour of the facility. He gave us the history of how Stranahan's started. It was interesting to learn that they bottle by hand. We came to our tasting set up. At each couple there were jars with items to smell that would be aromas or tastes we would experience, like rose, leather, tobacco, and cinnamon. There were four tastes paired with caramel, cheese, chocolate and fig. Each pairing brought out different flavors in the whiskey samples. We both had a lovely time and at the end, I had my husband pick a favorite for me to get for him for his birthday. Great experience!

My friend and I visited on a Monday night, it was busy but not too busy. The service was attentive and precise, the drinks were PHENOMENAL. I had classic drinks (which is what they specialize in), both the Old Fashioned and Mint Julep. The techniques that they use to craft your drinks allow for the authenticity in taste. The Old Fashioned was poignant and not too sweet, after the first few sips you're longing for more! Highly recommend this bar not only for the drinks but the ambiance. The music, lighting, experience is truly once in a lifetime. 10/10 recommend!

As for recent reviewer Daniel S., may I respectfully point out that you can't just walk into a food service establishment with 35 people at any time of day, much less near closing, and expect perfect service. That's the purpose of calling ahead and making reservations, to let them get prepared for you. Work _with_ the establishment, not against it, and they'll take care of you. It's not reasonable to just walk in without giving them warning, then complain about the result. That's on you.
