Had the awesome pleasure of stopping in for a tasting. I did the reserved tasting. Very tasty age bourbon. The tasting flight was 20. After the tasting I purchased an affogato and a bottle of gin. Service was prompt and courteous. Both bartenders were very knowledgeable. Decor is industrial with a touch of ole west. I'm definitely stopping in again. read more

A rainy day is a great day for tasting alcohol! So we came to Indusrty City and checked out The Fort Hamilton Distillery. Its a very large space with a good amount of seating and pool tables. The bar is smaller than I was expecting but it has a glass wall behind so you can see into the actually distillery. After the tasting I think Im a Bourbon sipper and A Rye mixer. Big surprise their gin is good...to me, lol. I have never liked gin before so thats saying something. The staff was of course knowledge and made me a very tasty old fashion. So much so I bought all the ingredients lol!! Also the boozy affragato Another reason to come to industry city! read more

Came here for a private tour and left with a bag full of liquor. Very informative and their drinks options were great to try. Love the space, ambiance and friendly staff. Visit whenever you are in the area! read more

Place is small but cute. Located in industry city. I thoroughly enjoyed my cocktail. They make and use their own product which is really nice. The bourbon is smooth and nice on the palate. The service was good but the pours on both drinks were very un even. Even the prices were different. So, I'm not sure what to think of this. They have classes fri-Sunday which I'm super interested in. Overall really cool vibe and place. Fills up quickly though! read more

This feels like a secret hide out that's far enough away from the maddening crowds to avoid being too busy or impersonal, but also serves up high quality crafted spirits in local taste. The double barrel rye and gin are top of my list, and they have a great menu of cocktails to help you get inventive and flavorful with both of them. They also have a few nice mocktails for the no-alcohol crowd looking to keep things classy without the tipsy. I also love the hang out space with pool tables and big cozy sofa and papasan chair- just a nice overall hangout space to gather with friends. read more

Late with this review, but better late than never! FHD was the location for my new employer's holiday party. They did not supply the food, but they supplied the libations, ambience and service. The drink menu is extensive and the bartenders were able to keep up and get orders out pretty quickly, while being pretty personable and fun. The distillery is pretty spacious with slightly sectioned off areas, which was very comfortable to say the least. I did not drink a lot (2 cocktails), because I just started working with this company plus I just don't overdo drinking at company functions, despite having a high tolerance for alcohol. Nonetheless, I had a Hamilton Mule, which was delicious. I would definitely revisit with friends or solo, just because I think it's a cool spot with good drinks and cool bartenders. read more

I came here for my friends birthday on a Saturday afternoon. There was some indoor and outdoor seating. I had a beer, but it seemed like mostly a cocktail place. Good drinks and the staff were friendly. I'd definitely come back! read more

Loved visiting this place! The tour guide was so knowledgeable and we learned so much, and the Rye Whiskey is incredible. Really fun cocktails as well, and food around (we had empanadas from a nearby pop-up station)! We're already planning on coming back, it's so fun as a hangout spot. read more

What a lovely little gem! We were in the area already grabbing last minute groceries for the holidays and decided to pop in on a whim. Our bartender was just a lovely soul- she seems to have this effortless grace and tact that all people that excel in the service industry seem to innately have. The drinks she whipped up were just delicious- I got their Bee's Knees and Italian Greyhound and, chef's kiss, it was just what I needed to kickstart Thanksgiving weekend. Will definitely be back, undoubtedly. read more

My family and I had a fun time checking out this distillery, where we got to learn about the history and the making process of their delicious whiskey, which is distilled New York-style. It We ended up doing their tour, which consisted of fun facts, an awesome and yet informative tour guide, and best of all quality whiskey! They also have a little game room on the other side where you can chill and enjoy the vibes after your tour. You can also grab a drink or two at their bar. This is def a fun thing to do if you're looking to try something new. read more

GOTTA Love a local distillery and this one not only has awesome liquor, but a really great ambiance and cool staff with a lot of knowledge on their products with recommendations if you don't know where to start. The entrance is on the second level of Industry City so you can get in through the courtyard staircase. I love whiskey but they also had some gin which was quite aromatic and good for a summer cocktail. I got the Maple Syrup Old Fashioned which was just perfect. NOT sweet which was exactly what I wanted- just a HINT of maple. really delicious. There's a saloon right across the hall with pool tables and LOTs of other great local businesses in the area so you can come for drinks and food and fun! I'm a fan of Rye and theirs was good too so definitely worth going to for a few drinks on weekends or even weekdays! read more

We went for a whiskey tour there. It was very interesting and informative. The gin, syrup, and whiskey were great. I'd definitely go and spend time there again read more

Whiskey and gin distillery located inside Industry City on the second floor of building number six. Nice space with indoor and outdoor seating. There is an adjoining room with two small billiards tables. There is also a brewery next door and a bar directly below, so everyone should be able to find something they'd like nearby even if they're not whiskey or gin fans. Staff was laid back and welcome. Seemed prepared to answer any questions. I had a 1 oz pour of their Madeira cask rye. I'm not a whiskey expert, but I can confirm the whiskey was very aromatic and had some bold flavors which packed a lot of value into the $13 pour. read more

I had a private tour/ tasting there for my birthday and it was great. It's not much of a tour but the tasting and history lesson were great. The staff is knowledgeable and the cocktails are inventive. A really great experience. read more

This is hands down one of the best places in Industry City. Alex and Amy are incredible people. The drinks are amazing. There is billiards in the room across the way (you can bring your drink). Nothing bad to say, highly suggest. read more

I am an event professional that was looking for a no-fuss, low-key place to host a large family event. We decided to host our event at the Fort Hamilton tasting room, and I cannot say enough good things about this establishment. The bartenders are top-notch, and our guests were really impressed with the quality of the drinks and the speed and friendliness of the service. The ambiance is great, especially since we had very nice weather outdoors and were able to have the large window open. On one hand, having two rooms can be a bit awkward for a larger group event, but on the other hand it gives the guests an opportunity to have a main area with more lively atmosphere closer to the bar, and another area with a more intimate feel farther away from the bar. We had catering delivered from a local restaurant, and there was ample space to set up the food for our guests. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a quality venue with amazing craft drinks, attentive staff, and professional management. read more

I've come here several times in the past including my Birthday the past two years and have had a whiskeylicious time every time! In the past two years they have expanded their space and now have a Pool Table and a corny situation with Corn Hole as well. The Whiskey is fantastic with my favorites being the Bourbon and Cask Strength Rye. They also make a Maple Bourbon Syrup which is amazing to put on Waffles! The service is always spot on as for our last visit Haley did our tasting and was lovely. Always a fun vibe when visiting! It's a trek for me to come out but I always love stopping by! read more

Kelsey is such a good bartender and tour guide! So knowledgeable about the different types of whiskey (bourbon?)

Went with a group of 12 for a fun girls-night out tour and tasting. Wonderful, friendly staff. Kelsey was our tour guide and was great. Entertaining, enthusiastic, approachable and knew her stuff. The bourbons and ryes are great (and higly recommended) but Ft. Hamilton Gin is my favorite gin. Extensive cocktail menu and our group ordered in food and stayed as long as we wanted. Had a blast! Thank you Kelsey!! read more

Great experience. It was nice to do something different from a winery. Will be doing again with my husband and friends.

So glad their taproom is finally open! And it's a great one. Granted, this review is a few months overdue, and they were around when the weather was still nice. But thankfully, they have a dual use space, with outdoor counter seating (you can walk up the metal stairs from the courtyard at building 6), as well as an indoor space where all the galleries are. The space is lovely (especially love the live edge wood bar). If you're gonna go, you *have* to do a flight. It includes gin, rye, bourbon, and ends with a shot of their delicious signature bourbon barrel maple syrup. They also do cocktails if you want to take it slow. Grab a bottle or two while you're there! I know I did! read more

the whiskey was amazing but bartender didnt care I asked them espresso martini and she doesnt shake no foam on the top atmoshere is good you can play billards by the way old fashioned was good read more

Ken is the best bartender EVER! Literally had the time of my life chatting with him and the other patrons. Cheers!

This is the best hidden spot ever. Undiscovered Industry City gem. If you wanna try out an original blend of scotch's, distilled and served on premise. Then you have to come over to Fort Hamilton. The vibe is personable and relaxed. Tell Alex and Ann I said hi. read more

Great spot for watching the world cup!! They show all the 2pm games! You can bring in food! Ammaaahzing craft cocktails, yummy whiskey flights and super friendly staff!! read more

I really enjoyed the space and the view from the second floor overlooking the courtyard. The Old Fashion was a great blend of their rye, walnut bitters, homemade maple syrup and orange peels. One of the best Old Fashions I've had in a long time. Most memorable since Amor and Amargo in the East Village. Moscow Mule was also refreshing. read more
