Dragon is always a delightful experience! We've been going for years, though sporadically over the past few. The owner, though, still recognized us when we walked in the door (even after a year or so). She is so kind and knowledgeable. The spirits are always tasty, and they often have new ones to sample. The Dragon's Den is very fun. Yummy food, though I do wish there were one or two more vegetarian options. We got the nachos on this occasion, and they were really good. The drinks are the main attraction, and the menu is quite extensive. You really can't go wrong! There's plenty of seating (but it can get quite full). Our favorite part is that there are various board games to grab and play. Axe throwing is available, too. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Dragon Distillery - Distilleries Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Heard while at a nearby brewery that this place had an interesting vibe and some good food so decided to check it out. They did not lie! They have a Game of Thrones/Dungeons and Dragon kind of theme going on, with cocktails named after the different houses and a page where you can roll for your drink. I went with a flight to try out some of their whiskeys, but they also make gin and vodka. The flight was ok, I find when you make all the things nothing really stands out, but the Everyday whiskey was a nice smooth sip which I very much enjoyed. For dinner I had the smoked brisket which was tasty, but the sides (garlic mashed potatoes, carrots and asparagus) were fire. Service was great, they weren't very busy so it was easy to get a table and get served. Overall I would definitely come back to roll for a random cocktail and enjoy more flights of their other offerings! read more

Dragon Distillery was a fun time! Ambiance is cool with their medieval theme and spirits selection. They have board games available to play and their dice menu option was entertaining. You roll the dice on which shot you will take! Great date spot or for groups. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

What a gem! We were in the area for an event and thought we'd stop in for a drink but ended up with cocktail flights, spirit flights and food! The food from the truck out front was amazing and paired well with the spirits they serve. As far as the spirits they have a wide variety. I mostly stuck with Gin's and Whiskey's since those are usually my spirits of choice. I like the inventive flavors they have as well as the cocktails they mix them into. I split a spirit flight with a friend but could have also split the cocktail flight as they were a decent size. read more

We love Dragon Distillery, however since the new BBQ place took over, the food isn't as good as it used to be. My favorite is the wedge salad! The drinks are always amazing and so is the staff! read more

Fun atmosphere and comfortable space. Fantastic food menu and great service. I'm not a fan of the alcohols distilled at dragon.

So, Dragon Distillery. We'd heard about them during our previous jaunts to Frederick and the ambiance was amazing. The rest of this is gonna read "mixed" but we had a lot of fun They're kind of tucked into a office building rihgt near the municipal airport, FYI and can be a bit tricky to find. Their entrance is right behind one of the bigger trees and where a bunch of attachable trailers park. We loved all the drinks we had, the soft pretzel with crab dip and the ambiance. It was an awesome time. Google Maps is accurate by the way, ignore that blurb on their website. I'm also not entirely sure why you need a reservation via open table. Even with Star Wars trivia happening, there were still a few tables open. FYI: The bathrooms are out a separate door and then a decent way down the hallway (you have to follow some arrows on the floor and the signage isn't the best). Also, check there's nothing going on in Frederick that could block roads (We got stuck behind Frederick Running festival and had to re-route back into town). Also FYI: If you call them, you get their answering service (the option to leave a message really should be the "press 2" option, not all the way at the end). We called because of the aforementioned minor issue and left a message (I wonder if this prompted the ensuing emails from OpenTable 2 hours later) but I'm super curious how efficient this is for pickup etc. read more

I'm A little late for this review, but wanted to circle back to say my experience at the Dragon Distillery. This was my second time coming and came for a yelp event. I appreciate how this place takes pride in the work they do. I love that it has this game of thrones theme. I had a good time ace throwing and playing different games. This is a cool place to try something different and drink local liquor. Enjoy! read more

This is one of the few places I am willing making a trek to from DC/Bethesda. Excellent collection of liquors, great decor (anything with dragons will always score high with me), and a chance to throw some axes to boot! They also sell these amazing boozy cupcakes that are super delicious! They are a family business and I think it shows because everyone there is always super courteous. Will be back as soon as I finish my bottle of coffee flavored rum! read more

We had such a great time here today! My friends got a Groupon for axe throwing and we were in! I'm not much of a drinker so they let me exchange my drinks for more axe throws! I can't remember everyone's names but the service was amazing and Zach was a great guide for the axe throwing. I can't wait to come here again, maybe for a birthday party! read more

This is a great place to grab some elevated bar food and have a great cocktail. I don't like cocktails that are too sweet so their elvish suicide is perfect! In the winter they have a boozie apple cider and hot chocolate that are amazing! For food you can't go wrong with their nachos and their cold dip is made with pickles! Their servers are all really nice and the service is fast. In addition to food and drinks they offer axe throwing. I've never done it there myself but it does look super fun. read more

Great time , me and my frIend went for a quick day trip, it was about a hour drive for us . We arrived walked into the establishment, we were greeted ever so kindly by staff , and we went to the bar area to begin the tasting . They have an assortment of items , you get a menu and then you can select up to four times to try and get the history on. Then also you get to read the other menu they have that has there creative named cocktails . I feel in love with what my friend had it tasted like coffee but had this foam on top and it was everything sunshine in your mouth and had a kick to it . Do not get me lying about the name , it was so delicious that I forgot the name but I had three of them . However they always have plenty of selections to try and I recommend while you are drinking that you take advantage of the axe throwing station right next to the bar read more

Dragon Distillery - Bar for the tasting - Distilleries Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Great place to go for a date on the weekend Favorite liquors to buy are the basilisk bourbon and Cherry Chainmail Vodka Favorite cocktail was the last joust Favorite snack was the spinach and artichoke dip in a bread bowl Axe throwing and board games! I can't say enough positive things about Dragon Distillery. My wife and I have been here several times before and it has become my favorite bourbon. The owners Mark and Tanya, are absolutely wonderful. They love to talk about the distilling process, the history of their distillery, their puppy, etc., very friendly people who love what they do. Recently a new addition opened up that has more seating. This new area also comes with food now being able to be served, more delicious speciality cocktails, boardgames are available to play, and axe throwing is a new feature. read more

My husband and I made a trip all the way up to Frederick specifically to try out this distillery and we were not disappointed. Seriously some of the best spirits we've ever had. The variety alone was impressive not to even mention the quality! Their cocktails are HUGE and they don't skimp on the good stuff. We both did a tasting; my favorite was the Butterfly Liqueur and my husband's fav was the Snallygaster Whiskey. We also each got a couple of cocktails which were awesome! I really liked the Desert Sunset and their Dragon Mule. The ginger vodka they use is extremely intense on its own but works great in a mule. I ordered the BBQ pulled pork sandwich, my husband got the jalapeno burger and we split the buffalo chicken dip soft pretzel. We weren't sure how good the food would be since it's not really what they specialize in but we enjoyed everything! Great bar food and hits the spot after a couple of cocktails. We did have a smidge bit of trouble when the kitchen accidentally lost our food order. But they were super awesome about it and to compensate us for the extended wait they gave us a discount on the food and an extra round of ax throwing! We had such a great time and we can't wait to go back soon! read more

I absolutely LOVED Dragon Distillery. My gf suggested we check it out one random Saturday, so checked to see if they were still open (it was like 4pm), they were, so we headed over. We took a tour of the distillery with the owner, which was really cool, and then got to sample some of the products with his wife. All the products are high quality, and you can tell a lot of love goes into the distilling process. We ended up purchasing several bottles, and closing out the evening at a restaurant downtown that the owner recommend. Fast forward to two weeks later, we held our own tiny tasting for friends after a dinner party my husband and I hosted and the vodkas we bought were a HUGE hit! I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area, or even going out of your way if you aren't. +Chainmail Cherry - Almond Vodka +Medieval Mint Flavored Vodka +Make your own Whiskey Workshop read more

Great place to meet with friends in a casual environment and they have awesome tasting food and drinks.

Dragon Distillery was such a fun date night for us. We made reservations for 5:30 on a Saturday evening, which is definitely recommended because they were busy the entire time we were there. The drinks are definitely interesting; we ordered the cocktail flight and had fun trying the different ones. I really enjoyed the one with whiskey and cream soda. If you like sweeter drinks then they for sure have a few you'd enjoy. The food was pretty decent for pub food. We shared the crab dip in a bread bowl- this was quite tasty- and also shared the club sandwich- which was decent, nothing to write home about. What really stood out, was the fun theme of this place and the axe throwing! we did axe throwing and threw some ninja stars and it was so. much. fun. Who knew? Seriously, it was just really cool to throw some axes and ninja stars on a date. Also a bonus, the board games they had. We love boardgaming and they had a decent variety of games you could borrow. We also played Azul, (a beautiful board game I highly recommend) on our date. Overall, great place, I highly recommend checking out! read more

Dragon Distillery - Axe Throwing.. this was my bullseye! - Distilleries Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

A new place that has high promise. Fresh distilled spirits made for the modern age. The owners are great and will answer all your questions. The place had their grand opening on 2/13/3016. To the surprise of the visitors they were treated to samples and food and music. The trademark is an interesting story and the logo and decor is a dungeon and dragons players dream. Very well done and thought out. The Moonshine (yes I said MOONSHINE as in backwoods liquor) is smooth and distinctive. A great spirit I see great things from it for me and all of the Frederick area in the near future. If your into Vodka they got you covered there as well and my wife said it's very good. They will have flavored spirits within the next month and plan for a Christmas release of Bourbon they are in the process of making now. They have plans to make other spirits and will be teaming up with the other Frederick Distilling operations to put together a distillery tour. YEAH TOURS! So take the time and visit Dragon Distillery and take the tour and chat with the Dragon. read more

This is a great place to hang out with a group. My group enjoyed playing some of the board games that they had out. The food was good, but the pretzels were not traditional pretzels or what we expected when ordering them. I liked that they have spirit flights or mixed drinks so there was something for everyone. I did feel the axe throwing was not as good as some others in the area (I'd go to stumpys if axe throwing was my main objective). I liked the punch but the mule was not to my liking. I would recommend dragon distillery and I would come back again! read more

My husband and I stopped here after camping on the AT for the weekend. We had such a great experience! There is something for everyone here-board games, all kinds of food, drinks (not just liquor, but all kinds of cocktails too), and of course throwing axes and ninja stars! They even have trivia on Friday nights and other events. It's a really awesome place to go and I would highly recommend if you are in Frederick. (Please note that they do not allow anyone under 21 years old in their establishment. I noticed the signs on the way out the door). read more

This place was really fun. My wife and I went for the first time today to just see what it was all about. We each had a cocktail from the huge drink menu and ordered the crab dip in a bread bowl. Drinks were solid and the crab dip (covered in Old Bay) was excellent with plenty of crab and came with chips and bread wedges. There are lots of games to play and axe throwing, both of which I will take advantage of next time. Apparently they were having a Dungeons and Dragons comedy show (unique concept) tonight and have weekly D and D gaming sessions where they provide Dungeon Masters too. And they have quite a bit of merch, including things like gaming dice. Overall a really fun and interesting place. I'll be back. read more

What a unique and enjoyable experience! Dragon Distillery, as the name insinuates, is decked out in mid-evil decor and centralizes its theme on Dungeons & Dragons. When you first walk in, you are surrounded by knight statues, dragon wall art, and most importantly, a friendly and approachable staff. The owner, Mark, began by giving us a tour of the behind-the-scenes distillery process. He explained in detail exactly how they distill their spirits and showed us all of the equipment they use to do so. He also went on to mention some of the local businesses they are collaborating with including Flying Dog and Barley & Hops. After giving us his undivided attention during the tour and entertaining our questions, Mark introduced us to another member of the staff who poured our tastings. We sampled 8 different spirits including a variety of vodkas, gins, and moonshines. My personal favorite sample was the Joust Gin mixed with their True Tonic syrup, which added a cinnamon kick to the gin. Dragon Distillery calls their gin "Gin for non-Gin drinkers" because of its unique taste. Rather than a pinecone flavor, the Gin has a sensational number of botanical flavors. This business opened their doors in 2016 and I am incredibly impressed by their professionalism, unique style, and delicious spirits. As a local of Frederick city, I am ecstatic to have this Distillery so close to home. Mark and his staff make you feel welcome and go out of their way to ensure an enjoyable experience for all. 10/10 would recommend a trip here. read more

I'm visiting from out of town, and it was my first time at a distillery, so I may have just missed the point. They only had one server and the service was slow, slow, slow (don't worry, I still tipped 20%). We ordered and paid with our phones, so all she did was run food. You couldn't order water on the phone, and they only served drinks that fit their gimmick. You can't order a beer, or something common like a Jameson and ginger. The food was so so. Burgers are served with Lays potato chips, clearly the point of the place is the gimmicky drinks. Another distillery might have been better, but if you're from out of town and not used to this type of bar, I would just avoid distilleries altogether and go to a normal restaurant or bar. read more

I'm so happy I learned about this place via a livingsocial deal. It was $8 for two tours, tastings, shot classes, and very nice leather coasters. Plus you're supporting a local business which is a plus too. I don't think they are making bank on this livingsocial deal but it's getting their name out there more, which is good for them. My brother and I went on the tour on a Saturday afternoon and they were pretty busy. There were 8 people on my tour and a similar number on the tour following us. We didn't need any kind of reservation -- just show up and let them know you'd like to take a tour. The facility is on the small side and run mostly by just one single individual. You could really see his passion for his business too. I tasted the mint vodka which was really different (good for hot chocolate!) and also the lemon meringue moonshine. Lastly, I'm a total gin girl so I had to try their gin, but I wasn't crazy about that one. It was just too much stuff going on in it. Overall, totally recommend if you're in the area! read more

Awesome place to take a tour and tasting. Very informative and interesting in their process. Customer service is fantastic and they support active duty and veterans for their service. You have to try their canned mixes their soooo goood. We ended up buying some of their canned mixes and a bottle of whiskey. They also gave us a voucher for a restaurant downtown that serves drinks with their products, don't miss this gem! read more

Such a cool place! First of all, I can't get over the epic dragon logo and the super cool inside of the distillery. Full of knight mannequins and a medieval feel. So, we paid literally $5 a person for a personal tour AND a FREE SHOT GLASS with the dragon logo on it!!! You just can't beat that price. The tour was great, a little short but the guy really went into depth about the process. Then we did some tasting -- wowza! Never did a distillery tasting so it was a bit wild for me, but the canned lemon meringue pie moonshine was SO GOOD, we ended up buying a four pack!! I bough a glass to match my free shot glass and then the guy even gave us some free stickers! What a fantastic place. Would go back in a heartbeat if I was craving a new vodka or some moonshine!! read more

Love this place. We stopped by on Saturday for tasting with Axe throwing. COVID safe with lots of spacing, masked staff and cleaning protocols obvious. Tasting was truest yummy and so many choices for sugar free needs. We bought five bottles to go- great discounts and overall pricing. Food was reasonable and fine bar fare. Axe throwing was a blast and the guy that taught us was patient and everyone got at least one good stick! Decor was fun and unique. This was so worth the drive from Northern VA. Scared to tell the truth as I plan on going back often and don't want to fight the crowds but owners so warm and talented, I can't keep this one to myself! Reservations strongly recommended. read more
