Rhelynn, our server, was attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming without ever being overbearing. She was knowledgeable about the menu, checked in at all the right moments, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and very enjoyable. The custom cocktails were a standout. Becca clearly knows her craft--each drink was well‑balanced, creative, and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell there's real attention to detail and pride behind the bar. If you're on the fence about trying something custom, absolutely do it--you won't be disappointed. The food paired perfectly with the cocktails and rounded out a great overall experience. Between the quality of the drinks, the solid food, and the excellent service, Bluewater Distillery delivered across the board. We'll definitely be back and will be recommending this place to friends--especially if Rhelynn and Becca are working.

Girls lunch on a sunny day! We were there early on a slow Sunday, party of 3 for the patio. We…read moreasked if we could move the table a bit into the sun (an open spot 3' over) but were told no, which, ok its a big ask with a clunky umbrella attached to the table I get it... the large picnic table that was in the sun was also off limits for larger parties (which I also get). Anywho, tacos were ok, a little dry and light on the fillings. Clams were standard steamed in white wine, and good. I tried the 'Hot Shot' cilantro and jalapeño vodka cocktail which was ok - neither flavor (or spice) came through very much, if at all. I should've ordered a flight! Back to my crushed dreams of a patio-lunch-in-the-sun... a party of 4 was seated at the large picnic table (1 body more than us, and both parties couldve split the table its that spacious), AND they pulled a table from the other side of the patio and put it in the sunny spot we asked to sit in towards the end of our time there. As a service industry person myself, I wouldnt be so quick to offer an inside table instead of being minutely inconvenienced (we offered to move the table ourselves as well to be helpful), with a couple of 2-tops outside and 2 inside - they were not busy. Overall, not earth shattering, but neither was the food or drinks in comparison to the experience and bill sadly.

Getting there, the drive was really simple and the surroundings beautiful. The distillery itself is tucked away in the back near some other garages. There is parking near there but it is limited. We chose to sit outside because it was such a beautiful day. The service there was great because the individual behind the bar was very attentive, asked us questions about what we liked, and gave recommendations based on our answers. We wanted to start off with the flight, which was a great option because it helped us really decide on the drinks we wanted to try out that were recommended to us. In the end we got two drinks each and walked away with a bottle of brandy and gin. Safe to say that we enjoyed what we tasted. Highly recommend if you are in the area and want a nice chill experience.

We saw this place on yelp and thought it would be a great spot to find locally brewed spirits. When we entered we were greeted by Rob and Dylan. They were super friendly and Dylan did a great job at explaining the different spirits and what they have to offer. We decided to each do the 4 glass tasting for $15 and with 8 tastings total we got to taste most of what they had to offer. My boyfriend loved everything he tasted! I'm not really a big fan of darker liquors but I really loved the Harvest Gin and Eagle Harbor Brandy, I had to bring a bottle of each home to share. We drove to Bainbridge so it was super easy to get there and there was lots of parking available. Overall an amazing experience with great conversation and definitely will be visiting again.

We sampled Whiskey, gin & vodka & told stories, laughed, reminiscing about younger years. Simply connecting & enjoying the moment. Every bottle was met with ooohhh, hmmm, so I like that more than the last bottle? Choosing was extremely difficult & we picked 4 bottles!!! Their Scotch- Whiskey was phenomenal. The berry-ube gin wowed me (I knew just from the smell, but the flavor was... phenomenal). The happy accident bottle, a blend of gin & whiskey with a punch of lemon was bright and delightful. And the fourth bottle I'll have to update, because there were too many i loved. I can't remember which other one we picked. I highly recommend giving them a try! Fantastic service and spirits.

This has been on my to do list for a long time. I really appreciate the facebook events I see…read morefrequently that remind me I want to come check it out. It took me forever to figure out where this might be located, but now I know its in an industrial area near Paine Field. Lots of parking out front and super easy to find if you use a maps app. It's not a huge place, but plenty of room for a small group. You can do a tasting or have a cocktail. You can also buy spirits to go. There is a huge variety here, whiskey, scotch, gin, etc. For 10$ you can do a tasting that includes 8 tastes. There are a variety of interesting things to try. They have a cart they bring out to pour from. You can ask tons of questions and read about all the tasting notes of whatever you try. Everything was delicious. On my next visit I will certainly try a cocktail. Do check it out if you have never been, it is worth a special trip.

In long It's one of the only public-facing businesses in this row of warehouses and offices. They have a small space where they crank out an impressive array of gins, plus aquavit and limoncello. The tasting room has a bit of bar and highboy seating, and there's a table next to the rollup door in the production space. After too many years without a visit, we rolled in on a sunny July afternoon for a few cocktails. Their Insta photos just made the special libations for this month sound all too irresistible. The setup is virtually unchanged since my first review years ago. They just have more cocktails on the menu, and more different special-release stuff to taste. We tried gins flavored with black truffles, coffee, and other cool accents. The taster flight is easily worth it, and we mixed in 4 different cocktails over the course of the session. They have a bartender now, rather than doing it all themselves all the time. There was a steady flow of other customers while we sat, including young families--it's kid-friendly!

What a cool little place. This little and I mean little distillery has seating for 10 in the front…read moreroom and a small overflow area that can probably hold another 5.

I've been wanting to check out JP's…read moresince it was formerly located in Woodinville and a friend who's a member raved about this place. But now that I've tasted it for myself, I can see myself returning for more bottles of bourbon. My friends and I were having a wine tasting day in the Maltby area, and decided to check out JP as our last stop. J.P. Trodden Distilling is a small-batch distillery, featuring bourbon whiskeys. The distillery is small, but has enough room for tastings and hanging out. I did the tasting flight, which included three bourbons, one whiskey and a maple syrup! All of the tastings were fantastic, and for anyone who likes dark liquors, JP is a spot to try. I ended up taking home a bottle of the single cask bourbon, but everything is great here. Staff was friendly and accommodating and it should be noted that there were free Seattle Chocolate truffles here! If straight up bourbons aren't your thing, they also have a couple cocktails that feature the bourbon to try. This was an awesome visit and one of many!
