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!

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!

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!

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!

Bar for the tasting

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

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.

Axe throwing + drinks + table games, great fun time for some friends to get together. Drinks are great taste with good time explanations and description.

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!

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

Their bread bowl dips are amazing!! Perfect snack to pair with a sampler. I can see why they have a 5 star rating. The ambience, high quality cocktails and liquor, super helpful and kind staff. I'm definitely coming back and bringing more friends!

This is my all time, absolute favorite bar in Frederick. I almost wanted to refrain from saying…read morethat to avoid it getting too packed but this place definitely deserves the attention. I always make sure to stop by whenever I'm in Frederick. The ambiance is like a dim light basement, a clean and moody aesthetic with bar seating and couch seating. It does get loud in there and I think that's because the sound of everyone's voice just bounces against too many hard surfaces. Nonetheless it's super cozy and my favorite spot!! The drinks are all fantastic. They make their own organic distilled liquor and on top of that they away have seasonal drink selections. I go there wanting the same drink but also try something new and it never disappoints! They craft their cocktails with love and care and really put effort into a delicious well rounded cocktail. This is my go to spot for gin, I'm not even a gin drinker but I am now because their gin is amazingly smooth. I can't say enough great things!

Popped in on a whim and didn't regret it at all. The ambiance was great right from the start. It's…read moremodern, comfortable, and has really great aesthetics. It's a relaxed, welcoming spot and a perfect place to hang out for a bit. The staff was amazing, super friendly, and really knowledgeable about everything they offer. The tasting was great and gave a good feel for their lineup. I really liked that they use locally sourced ingredients across a variety of their spirits. You can tell there's a lot of care put into what they're producing. Definitely recommend stopping in. Afterward, head over to their bar next door and try a cocktail made with their spirits. It's absolutely worth it.

TLDR: Fun rum focused distillery with creative cocktails and a quirky themed interior. Great stop…read moreduring a Frederick bar crawl. Stopped into True Standard Distilling during the Frederick St. Patty's Day bar crawl and the place was absolutely buzzing all day. As a rum distillery, everything on the cocktail menu leans rum which makes things interesting, especially when they remix classics that usually feature other spirits. I tried their take on a negroni and it was surprisingly really well done. It kept that familiar bitter and balanced profile but with a unique rum twist that made it stand out. The interior was unexpected but in a good way. They were still fully committed to a Valentine's Day theme with pink everywhere and a massive faux chocolate candy wall right when you walk in. It honestly felt like stepping into a mini Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, which added a fun and memorable touch. Despite the crowd, service was quick and efficient. The bartenders clearly knew what they were doing and kept drinks moving without sacrificing quality. Overall, this is a great, high-energy stop if you're spending the day drinking your way around Frederick. Definitely worth popping into, especially if you want something a little different from the usual beer spots.

I was excited to visit this venue and the Holiday Christmas decorations before they were taken down…read moreby 1/11th. The place seemed a little smaller then what was seen in pictures, however the Decor did not disappoint- very festive with glistening balls on the ceiling, a Santa in the corner adjacent to distillery drums, packages wrapped on the wall, etc. My friend and I got one of the last seats available- the place is really popular and had lines prior to Sunday. There really wasn't a food option but could be ordered and delivered. I opted for a rum apple beverage and we got the Cocktail flight. Of these-zombie, Mai Tai, Painkiller, Puffer Fish and MAC-Nut Chi Chi the latter was my favorite. Mac-nut Liqueur, pineapple and Coconut (contains nuts) very tasty- even tho it said "summer" Vodka- very refreshing for Winter. Highly recommend- a little pricey but fun vibe; even some beverage containers e.g., Santa's boot were available for purchase. The owners's influence was a trip to Puerto Rico and I can relate! Check out their story and website!
