Service was terrible at the Limerick Uncorked event, man was too into himself, asked for a sample but ignored me, so I walked away, fuck him. Way better products from others vendors anyway read more

Tour was amazing and ALL of their "spirits" are amazing!!! Staff was friendly and informative.

I went the first time on opening day, and it left a lot to be desired. So much so that I didn't go back until a couple of weeks ago. My girlfriend invited me to go to karaoke. They do not serve food, but they make some amazing cocktails. The owners take pride in their spirits, and if it's not too busy, they love telling people the story of the building. It's located in downtown Norristown, with plenty of parking located right behind the building. I started with the cosmo and ended with the lemon drop. Both were wonderful. My husband got one of their drink specials called the Bee's Kiss (rum, half-n-half, honey simple syrup, edible paper bee garnish). It was delicious and reminded me a little bit of drinking the milk from cereal, like honey smacks. Karaoke was fun. While I didn't sing, they had a lot of talent and was a great crowd. read more

Great reuse of a 19th Century firehouse in the heart of Norristown, now a museum and distillery for premium vodka, whiskey, gin, and special batches of other unique blends. Three story open barroom where once horse drawn firewagons were housed, with upper floor sleeping room for those once on duty and a rear space full of stainless steel distilling tanks and vats. Fascinating place I wish I had time to explore with a knowledgeable guide. Maybe next time, but tonight we were there for a political fundraiser for a local county official seeking reelection. Judging by his choice of party venue, the open bar and the look of everyone present to support him and wish him success, he has a strong chance of re-election. Even the local congressman was there to wish him well. With speeches and a good buffet (and that open bar) there was opportunity for limited sipping and light dining in the midst of the very loud din of conversation between the soapboxing. The distillery itself remained background to an excellent soiree. Will definitely return for more tasting and a tour. read more

Interesting spot, I wasn't sure about it from the outside as I don't like cramped spaces...but the second I went inside I was convinced. It's a big space, new but with a very relaxed feel. We went during happy hour and it was virtually empty at the time so I'd like to come back when it's busier but it was nice being able to chat and get an idea of the place. They have great cocktails and little snacks if needed but no kitchen. They do have nights with karaoke or yoga. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Great establishment with awesome drinks and bartenders. They have a vast assortment of cocktails centered around their made on site spirits. John & his wife were very welcoming and took time to tell us about the building, their spirits, how they came up with the name and their future plans. Love the fact that they kept the firehouse them. The building used to be The Humane Fire Company. Lots of memorabilia on the walls telling the history of the fire company. Very laid back atmosphere where you can just sit back and enjoy a cocktail, glass of wine or a craft beer. read more

This is a great little bar, the spirits are top notch and somehow the people are even better. I went on karaoke night (Saturday) and was not disappointed. So much fun! read more

Had an absolutely amazing time today when we stopped in. We came from Pittsburgh for a weekend trip to the area, and this place popped up as something to do. I'm a huge fan of local distilleries, so we figured why not pop in. We expected to get a drink, maybe buy a bottle, and move on to the next thing. We walked in and were welcomed like old friends! Our quick stop ended up being a few hours, we toured the building and the facilities and spent a long time bonding with everyone. Also - the drinks were on point! I am so excited to be adding the gin to my stock at home and can't wait to share the rum with my husband! Hoping we'll be back in the area again soon to see how far along the building has come :) thanks for such a great day! read more

I love this place. It is a historical firehouse that has been transformed into a unique neighborhood bar. The owners are friendly, accommodating, and passionate about what they do. John, the owner, is a true mixologist who makes more than a drink; he makes magic potions (Ben rocks bartending, too)! On nice days the big bay doors are open and you truly feel like one of the locals. They will even have a food kitchen soon, but until then, you can order something to be delivered. That's pretty fun, too. If you are looking for a place with a really cool and different vibe, you will definitely find it at Five Saints. read more

Honestly, I'm leaving a star to see what they do next, but it was a fun place to see! Some work friends decided to check out the distillery. First off, John the owner was working the bar. Extremely friendly and sociable. Very cool to talk with. He went through their 3 spirits and gave us the story on each along with a small taste. I am no connoisseur of alcohol, but with all three, they were amazingly smooth to me. The vodka and the white whisky (whiskey?) went right down with almost no burn. And I'm not a gin fan at all (pine trees?!) but their gin with additional flavorings was pretty tasty. We each ordered one drink and they all were quite good. I think we would have stayed for more, but we had thought they had food on the premises. Apparently they're working on that, so it was off to dinner. read more

Held an informal 30th birthday party for my son with about 20 guests -friends and family. The ambience of teh place is fun, interesting and historic but also contemporary - not stuff. THe signature cocktails that day were a big hit. The staff and Amy, the co-owner, took great care of us. Great booze, great staff, great and interesting location. read more

GRRREAT place! Cool decor, KIND Owners, BEST bartender in town, Ben! Has history, has giant open doors to let the fresh air in. Music on weekends, just a great place to hang out. Makes own vodka, gin, white whiskey and blood orange liquor now! Ben is always coming up with fun new drinks! This is where I call "home" and the staff "family". Working on restaurant upstairs so keep eye out for when that opens. Bring your friends to this place..you'll love it! She Nat...peace out read more

I've been meaning to come here for a long time. Unfortunately, whenever I think about "where to go out tonight", Norristown never comes to mind. Finally did it. So glad I did. The bartender immediately poured me free tastings of their liquors. All were good. I was especially impressed with the gin, which did not taste like pine needles, but instead Rosemary, Thyme, and Black Pepper. I got a Tuscan Mule (Moscow Mule with gin instead of vodka). Absolutely delicious!! The ambiance is comfortable and industrial. I will be coming back. read more

Went before COVID19 lockdowns and was impressed by the quality and taste of the spirits, when I was able to try most/all of them in a Sampler flight where I could have mini-shots. Definitely a cool vibe and worth bringing a date there. Since it was a relatively quiet afternoon, got to listen to great story from owner/founder of the establishment about where he got the name. Personal faves for sipping straight-up were the "Blood Orange Liqueur" and the "Maple Bourbon Butter Pecan Flavored Rum" for sipping. The "Lavender Absinthe" was definitely interesting, but probably used best in a mixed-drink. Supporting local establishments is more important now than ever and if your budget still includes nights out at bars, you won't be disappointed if you try them. read more

Visited for the first time yesterday. We really enjoyed the atmosphere of the old firehouse. The cocktails were delicious and well made by our bartender. You can tell the high quality of the spirits used and they are reasonably priced. There was a good jazz band playing and the ambience was laid back and relaxing. John, the owner, introduced himself and we had a nice conversation. It's a great space and he's doing more with the other two floors which we will definitely be coming back to check out. I highly recommend Five Saints for anyone who enjoys exceptional cocktails in a very cool space. Can't wait to visit again soon. read more

Couldn't thank the owners more for such warm and welcoming hospitality. And the awesome tour of the distillery and it's extensive history. Which will only grow more history thanks to its owners and their beautiful vision. (Of course their spirits and cocktails were more than worth it, we wouldn't think of leaving without a bottle of their white whiskey) We could not have ended such a perfect day any better. We will definitely stay in touch. Friends - if you find yourselves in the Norristown / Philly area. Stop in, it'll be more than worthwhile. I am ecstatic to return and watch the grow of this gorgeous place, the owners, and the successful restaurant it will surely become. read more

Cool distillery for a change of pace. The bartenders are approachable and easy to talk to. We grabbed drinks from the seasonal menu. They run tours of the behind the scenes with tastings afterwards. They advertised karaoke on Friday nights. No food that I'm aware of. read more

Awesome place for drinks with friends. Locally owned & operated. Safe place to go meet your girlfriends for an awesome unusual drink! The ginger drink is fantastic!! Try there beers every one was raving about them. I'm not a beer drinker. Ask for John to make it. I can't wait for the restaurant to open up! read more

This place is great! Good spirits, good vibes, and good people. Karaoke is always fun. Come on in and meet the bartender Benjamin... tell him Dave sent you ;) read more

Awesome atmosphere, great personal service. Some of the best craft spirits that I have had. Growing business within Norristown- check for new event offerings ! read more

I've been wanting to check out Five Saints since I heard about its opening and finally checked it out over the weekend. I've been a resident in Norristown for almost a decade now and excited to see places like this popping up in the area. Being a converted firehouse definitely had a cool factor and especially with the ability to open the garage door to the street. We met John, the owner, Will, the distiller, and 2 bartenders, all who were knowledgable and fantastic. I had a moscow mule, the rooftop lemonade, and specialty coffee drink - all delicious. The prices were high - BUT that's to be expected for this kind of establishment. I loved it and definitely plan to be back :) read more

We've been so many times now that I've lost count. Since our first trip, they've added wine, food trucks, live music, Saturday yoga. I applaud John for his creativity and community minded approach. The bartender, Ben, is on point with his drinks. The clientele are always friendly...its just such a nice vibe. Go and then tell your friends. This town and this owner deserve this to succeed. read more

What a powerful space, a three story fire house filled with remnants from the past...and haunted by the finest! Great drinks! The owner, John took us on a tour upstairs...from the urinals to the dress fire hats, to the framed volunteers, to the uniforms still neatly lined at attention...what a walk through the past...you could feel the presence of heroes and the echoes of great stories from ww1...Lockers and medals that beg for your attention and ceilings so high you feel small but welcomed and leave wanting to know more!! Impressed by the lore and by the story of the five saints...who could be anyone's best friend, dad, uncle, mentor, or brother. What an amazing asset to Norristown. The Humane Fire CO's legacy lives on in SPIRITS!!! read more

Receiving a warm welcome from one of the owners Amy, we stepped in to this amazing open-air converted Firehouse.

I bought a bottle of Humane No. 1, maple bourbon butter pecan rum. All I can say is------HOLY CRAP! I have found my new favorite rum! I decided to have some on the rocks, and boy does it rock! I'll be visiting your distillery and getting more. read more

I really like the vibe in here. I went earlier in the year and they had great drinks and lots of people having fun. I went on a karaoke night. It's in an up and coming neighborhood in Norristown. read more

My favorite place! This is a real gem in Norristown and worth the trip if you're from the surrounding areas or even the city. I love the Tuscan Gin, as well as the other spirits that they distill right here on site in a historic fire house. Many friendly people hang out here, it is always pleasant. read more

This place has the BEST cocktails in the area by far. The owner is awesome. Definitely a great spot to hang out

We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and really enjoyed myself here. The cocktails I tried all were very tasty and showed off their spirits really well. We took the tour and it was very insightful and full of the history of the building and of Norristown. John is a wonderful host and so is the rest of the staff. Great place to relax enjoy a drink. I look forward to when they have the restaurant open. read more

Delicious cocktails. I especially like the vodka and American creme. Real fruit juices, not syrups. Off street parking.

Today is the GrandOpening of this Norristown Based distillery. It has a great atmosphere and delicious spirits. They offer corn based vodka and whiskey. It's a Casual atmosphere with lots of positive local influence. Give it a try. Cheers read more

This place is awesome, their products are awesome and their owners and staff are awesome. The space is very open with plenty of room to hang out and play games. I love that it used to be a fire station with such rich history (I highly recommend taking the tour). John (the owner) personally gives each tour and it is, by far, the most fun distillery tour I've been on to date. He's incredibly knowledgeable about his craft as well as the history of Norristown. You could literally not even drink or be from PA and still find his tour fun. It's also nice to know that the person you're speaking with isn't just a hired tour guide. He really calls the shots. From the second we stepped in, all of the staff was super friendly and offering us water and popcorn. At the end of it all, we were speaking with John's wife who was wonderful and if we didn't have to leave we could've spoken to her for hours. Absolutely delightful venue with great staff. I hope to be back in Norristown soon! read more

Great place! The staff is awesome folks including the owner (John) who is there often and always chatting with customers. Karaoke, live bands, even yoga on Saturday mornings. Ok now the spirits.... I have to hand it to Five Saints, they really offer an all around excellent product line. The Gin is my favorite, I'm a gin drinker by habit, but people who usually hate Gin should give their Gin a turn - you might be converted. Everything is just well done. The mixed house cocktails deliver. Not too sweet or overly done, nicely balanced. I can't neglect to mention the fact that the bar is beautiful. The whole Distillery is in an old firehouse and they really did an excellent job restoring the interior and respecting the history. I look forward to when the second floor opens for food. I know Five Saints will only continue to impress moving forward! read more

Couldn't have asked for a cooler place! I went on a Wednesday evening, so it was pretty low key, but it still had such a lively atmosphere and I had an awesome time! All the people there, staff, regulars, and newcomers alike, were all so nice and really cool people to chat with. I will definitely be returning! Also, the drinks were absolutely amazing! read more

The atmosphere and employees great, but the cocktails were unimaginative. Most of them had lemon/lime or ginger beer. I'd like to see different ingredients or seasonal cocktails like a hot toddy or spiked hot chocolate. It's a great place and the owner was really friendly, but that was something I noticed. It was an overall good experience, though. read more

The tour was great. The owner told you about the history behind the firehouse and the process of distilling. It was really relaxed and informal. Loved it! The drinks were amazing too! We had the whiskey Collins, mojito, and Tuscan Mule. Tuscan Mule is a must have. Their Tuscan "style" gin is unique and even became a favorite of my non-gin loving husband! If your hungry there is always a food truck outside until they open the restaurant. Take a chance on this place, you will NOT be disappointed. Don't worry about parking, they have a lot to the left of the building! read more

Really chill, nice place. Drinks are good and great customer service. John, the owner, came around to speak to the customers and discuss his future plans with this establishment. I'm from West Chester and live in Norristown now, Thank you for bringing something like this to Norristown. read more

My husband and I were excited to try out this seemingly cool spot in Norristown. An historic firehouse. Sounds cool. Unfortunately, it's still located on Main Street in Norristown. Which means you shouldn't be too surprised when a random, um, "lady" yells through the open window to ask us for money. As a former city dweller, I quipped that it "added character". That really didn't detract from our visit. Since we visited shortly after their opening, their drink list was limited. This, too, was fine. However, not making them correctly is not. My husband ordered an Old Fashioned. This is a simple, classic drink. However, a fruity, sweet concoction was served. They remade it. It turned out fine. My drink was just ok. Two stars=Meh. That's the best I can muster. We go out (for a drink) for two reasons: 1.) to enjoy a tasty cocktail and 2.) to enjoy atmosphere. I give them one star for each. read more
