Friendly & knowledgeable staff. They do a nice job of leading you through a tasting. Not fancy, but a very pleasant spot. We had a friend in town from out of state who was interested in a whiskey tasting. Freeland was a great choice. We'll probably be back. read more

Love going to this place to hangout while drinking good cocktails. I love their mini cocktail flight - we usually get this so you can try all 4 of them. Service is friendly, quick and they check in on you once in awhile to make sure you're good. Their cocktails are consistently good - strong but balanced. Can't go wrong with any of them! read more

We heard this place was owned by women, so had to come over there and support them. It was such a highlight of our trip to Portland. We sat at the bar and each had two drinks. All were delicious. So loved our bartender. She especially made it fun ( and made awesome drinks). Can't remember her name but started with a M. We're coming back to Portland next year and will definitely be back to show new friends Freeland Spirits. Bravo everyone that works there read more

SO GLAD we found this great distillery with a welcoming staff, happy to explain their gin and bourbon selections and hand crafted cocktails and mocktails. Amaya took care of us immediately as we got settled, bringing water and menus. The flights looked so pretty, so I chose the Spring Flight. Of these(see photos for names & descriptions) I enjoyed The Valley Girl most because I have a sweet tooth and both the black currant purée & elderflower worked perfectly together. Food was definitely in order for this flight, so I selected the Figalicious panini which featured prosciutto w/balsamic fig jam and goat cheese. It was the PERFECT sandwich for my flight! Hubs stuck with N/A beverages and enjoyed his Tropink hemp beverage and soda. My original plan was to enjoy the flight then select the full size cocktail of the drink I enjoyed the most (i.e. Valley Girl), but I wasn't able to follow through. The "flights" were such generous pours the panini wasn't absorbing the alcohol fast enough. LOL At $25 for the flight, I think this is VERY reasonable way to experience Freeland. The vibe here is casual chic. The furnishings are modern, comfy and BEAUTIFUL! From the front you can see through these MASSIVE windows into the working distillery, with its gleaming tanks. The displays are arranged in a way to allow the spirits to be showcased, but the bottles are so pretty it doesn't feel overwhelming or intimidating. Really well designed for a comfortable meeting place to drink, nibble and kiki, but if you want to impress OOT guests, Freeland Spirits would work for that as well. Before leaving, Amaya let us in on a tip for our trip out of PDX: Freeland Spirits and mixers are available for the same price at the airport! I'll DEF be making room in my carry-on for the Freeland Forrest Gin and Valley Girl mixer. Cheers! "CC" read more

Such a cute spot with delectable drinks and charming atmosphere. Our bartender, Skyla, was so helpful and made some magical drinks. The drinks we had tonight: VALLEY GIRL (Freeland Forest Gin, block currant purée, lime juice, sage + elderflower syrup, NW alpine) ARTEMIS MOON (Freeland Forest Gin, Trakal, New Deal ginger liqueur, mint simple syrup, lemon juice, muddled grapes, hibiscus bitters, decanter billers) MOON BRIDGE MAGIC (Freeland Cherry Blossom Liqueur, Freeland Forest Gin, Amarello, lemon juice, cherry + orange flower simple syrup, egg while) Highly recommend them all, especially the Artemis Moon. read more

Stumbled upon Freeland Spirits through the InKind app and decided to stop by since I was in the area. I ordered their autumn cocktail flight and absolutely loved every single one! The vibes were super casual and friendly, and I even ended up chatting with the tourists at the next table about our drinks. Learned that Freeland Spirits is also available at the PDX Airport, so you can always grab a bottle post-security if you don't have checked luggage. read more

Hidden a few blocks away from the bustle of NW 23rd Ave, Freeland Spirits seems like a chill place to grab a couple cocktails from their extensive and seasonally changing cocktail menu or to do a tasting of their house gins and bourbons. I'm not much of a whiskey drinker but Freeland makes my favorite local gins. Definitely worth a stop when in the area! read more

"Oh my ya!" Amaya, my whiskey, bourbon and gin tasting guide enlightened my taste buds on my tasting adventure. Each gin sip the taste of our natural world seeps through my gums as though I was walking in and smelling an old growth juniper forest (near Bend - been there down that). The burbon smooth and sweet aged with a taste of the Elk Cove biodynamic wine barrels was so good. Made my eyes pop and tongue drop as the bourbon filtered through the thousands of tongue receptors. Give me a shot! And I bought a bottle of cask bourbon. Halfway through my flight with Amaya I was feeling so good and happily buzzing. Hard liquor will make you whoopee quicker! For sure! I also bought the rye whiskey - milled with ancient grains at Oregon Camas mills - incidentally supplies the grains for many pizza and bread makers in Portland. Rye whiskey - 75% Organic Dark Northern Rye, 20% Organic Purple Karma Barley, and 5% Organic Buckwheat. Daily shots of rye whiskey and bourbon the Freeland Spirits way will make every day a better day! My wife had an IPA. Great vibe to come in for hard liquor or cocktails - beer and wine too. Good times! read more

This was my 3rvisit to Freelands and apparently I've enjoyed it as I've returned Each time I've visited I've sat at the bar, which allows me to chat with the employees. Great staff, great drinks, why not. This visit they honored women's history by theming the cocktails, which was a nice touch. If you're in the area and looking for a spot with tasty cocktails, definitely drop in. read more

Absolutely loved this place! Visited on a quiet Wednesday afternoon and the service was awesome! The drinks were great and the small bites were fantastic. For being a lover of gin, this place was absolutely perfect to kill some time. Myself and my friend each got the flight along with a few cocktails to share which were all delicious! I loved the vibe of the place. You could actually see into where they make the gin which I thought was pretty neat! Loved it and would absolutely return! read more

It's the simple things that make it a nice touch. One of the first things that I noticed was the planters inside the windows at this lovely establishment. They also had a wall of succulents that I thought were particularly stylish. But alas, I digress, let's get to the heart of the matter this women-owned and operated establishment in NW Portland. They make a couple of varietals of gin and bourbon here. I cannot speak to the bourbon but the gin was great. I love that you can select from the mini cocktails or tastings and build your own flight. We each had a flight on this day accompanied by seasoned popcorn. What a delightful idea. The atmosphere is what I would expect from NW Portland, a hip and trendy vibe. I really enjoyed our time there. At about 3 PM a lot of people started filtering in. As it turns out on Fridays and Sundays there is a tour of up to 20 people of the distillery. You can make reservations or take your chances but they recommended the reservations which I believe you can make online. We picked up a bottle to go. Also, we picked up some canned cocktails that they make there. It was packaged nicely in a box which was perfect. The attention to detail here is just great. I really am not a hard liquor drinker but the great experience made me want to come back again. Give these folks a try. read more

What a gorgeous spot!!! Sadly I didn't get interior photos, but it's stunning. Clearly woman owned, designed and decorated. I have a very particular palate for cocktails and while a lot of their liquor doesn't appeal to me, I do love the flights they offered. They were all mostly delicious and adventurous as to flavors I would not have believed would be together in a drink! Not to mention SO cute. I would come back just for another seasonal flight and some appetizers as they're all Vegan and I believe most GF. Yummy stuff, especially the rosemary popcorn. Holy amazing. I'll have to get WAY more photos on a second visit! read more

As a woman who likes spirits, I'm more than happy to support a woman-owned spirit business! I stopped by Freeland this morning to get my limited release bottle of Cherry Blossom Liqueur, and a couple of cocktails for good measure.

What's up: We're continuing our tour of Portland based on the Distillery Row Passport we were finally able to get. We decided to hit this place as our next stop since it's not too far from a couple others in the area. Parking: They have a decent sized parking lot nearby which seemed close to full when we were there. There's also street parking available. Environment: According to the Passport, this place is woman owned, cool! The sign at the counter said to wait to be seated. They have both indoor and outdoor dining. The merch corner is on the right and pass the doors, down the hall, are the restrooms. The dining area is located towards the left. Once seated, we were given menus to look over. What was ordered: - Freeland Flight (4 tastings) - Old Fashioned Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. Overall, the experience was nice. It felt more like a restaurant setting than a distillery since they had sit down tables. Personally, we're not fond of gin, but it was nice to try the different kinds. And...we got another stamp on our passport. Credit cards are accepted. read more

Wonderful cocktails using their in-house distillery; yes they distill on site as well as use various proprietary ingredients to flavor some of their spirits. Service was also good and it's a very comfortable venue. But their spirits are what's fantastic ...bought a bottle of their gin to take home. Will visit again..and often read more

I won't say when I was in except to say it was very recent. I was trilled to see that they have a parking lot. This is a huge bonus considering where they are located. When I walked in the first thing I noticed was a shelf of stunning aqua blue bottles that I later learned was their Gin. I was the only customer there at noon that day I will not mention so I had fun chatting with the two bartenders. They were so friendly and were happy to tell me all about the spirits that I ordered. I ordered the "Whole Lineup" which consisted of Gin, Dry Gin, Geneva, Bourbon, Gin & Rose Tonic Cocktail and lastly the French 75 Cocktail. This lovey flight was only $15.00, which was waved because I bought two bottles. Since these two bottles are a gift, I wanted to taste them first and chose the ones that pleased my pallet, I ended up buying the Gin that comes in the beautiful blue bottle. I was also quite taken by the Freeland Bourbon was supper smooth I could detect a small hint of coffee as it rolls off your tongue. I thoroughly enjoyed the flight. It was my introduction to Gin, and it was super. I expect Josh and Chuck in Georgia, the hosts of my favorite podcast "Stuff you Should Know" will be very happy with this surprise gift. I am also happy to support a women owned and operated business. They know how to craft spirits well. I know I'll be back with one of my girlfriends to do a spirits flight. 2022 - Review # 27 read more

Went to Freeland with my family and loved their seasonal mixed flight, my family got the full tasting, and we all loved it. We got snacks and sandwiches, which were all delicious. I wish they had a little more food options but I really can't complain! I will be back for sure. I first tried Freeland gin at a friends suggestion and fell in love instantly. Shared it with my family and they felt the same! My uncle has been life long tanqueray martini guy, but now prefers Freeland gin! Everyone I know who's tried Freelands liquors has loved them. I highly recommend everything they make. read more

Love everything about Freeland Spirits! They distill incredible gins and bourbons, make inventive and delicious cocktails, it's one of the few women owned & operated distilleries, the service is friendly and attentive, and the space is clean, bright and inviting. Well, done! I have to thank Yelp for hosting an event here otherwise I may not have discovered this gem. I've already been back with friends as I wanted them to experience and try the cocktails for themselves. I've told my friends in Lake O that we need to visit their second location later this month when they open. Yes, their gin is that good! Their flagship gin with hints of cucumber, rosemary and citrus along with juniper and all the other botanicals is my fave. It really creates a stellar cocktail! I used to be a Hendricks gal and now I am team Freeland! The blue color of the gin in the gorgeous raindrop designed bottles looks great on my bar, an added perk! A friend who doesn't like gin because it can sometimes be medicinal, loved their gin & rose cocktail and even bought a four pack to take home. Another friend raved about the Manhattan. Prices for the cocktails are also incredible; bars downtown would charge several dollars more. The venue is bight and welcoming with tables lined against the window facing the street. Clean lines and a mid-century aesthetic add to the vibe. The bar backs up to a window to the beautiful distillery where the magic happens. Definitely visit Freeland whether you want to enjoy a tasting or a cocktail. It's a great place to meet friends for happy hour (they have delicious eats) and I bet you will end up staying far longer than anticipated! read more

I've never enjoy drinking gin. But I loved my drink here. I asked for the sweetest thing on the menu and it was part of their pride menu. It was delicious. The ingredients that they used are so fresh and unique. The Gin was smooth and delicious. I looking forward to coming back so I can try a fight. Everyone working here was super kind, helpful, and answered all of my questions. read more

"She flies with her own wings" - a motto of Freeland Spirits and the mural on their exterior wall. I am so glad to have finally stopped by this woman owned and operated distillery in NW Portland. A bright tasting room with big windows and a row of plants sits in front of the distillery equipment - fun to look at! I went with the "Oregon Summer Flight" - their best assortment of drinks - and quite enjoyed it. It was beautiful to look at and enough liquid to sip on for 1-2 hours as I got some work done. The green "forest" one was probably my favorite, but all were very drinkable, and I'm not even a big gin fan. I didn't have any of the light bites they offer, nor did I enjoy the spacious patio in the converted parking lot area, but both looked good. Bonus: they have their own parking lot! read more

Went here for a small gathering and we were lucky to get a tour of the back area. I love that it's woman owned and the story tied to her grandmother became her inspiration. While I loved the Not Your Mom's Chai, the surprise of the night was the gin & rose tonic. I've never been a fan of gin & tonic but this changed my mind, and sometimes it just takes one moment in time to open your mind I loved it so much I purchased a bottle of gin and the rose syrup so I can make at home. Worth a visit and some! There's a great restaurant right nextdoor (Meriwether's) if you wanted to grab a bite prior or after. read more

First off I wanted you to know that we do like what you offer and have been to the new tasting room as well as the Distillery Tasting Tour that you were at recently.   But, the Mama Bear in me cannot let this go - that my under 21 kid got a mailer for a Tasting Flight Coupon? I'd like a response please about this because it clearly doesn't sit well with me nor should it with you.  Marketing to under 21?  Telling me that you buy lists isn't going to cover it... read more

Incredible woman-owned distillery I stumbled upon while in Portland. Everyone working there was super friendly, knowledgable, and passionate about the product they're putting out. The tasting flight has a few straight liquors on it but also cocktails (and quite sizable for a "tasting"!). The one item that surprised me the most was their small-batch Olea Amaro. Most amari I've tasted have leaned more into citrus or sarsaparilla flavors, but this one, made from olive leaves, had incredibly smooth earthy tones. Extremely sippable (and dangerous!). The owners of this distillery are having a lot of fun and being very creative with their products; check them out for something unique and special. read more

Purely based on the drinks, I was intrigued with the flavors that have infused in the drinks. My friend and I ended up swinging by during their Cherry Blossom Release and tried their Reigning Blossom and Sakura Old Fashion.

First visit today was satisfying. Had the Bees Knees for $6 while my friend enjoyed his three glass variety for $10 (a much better deal.) The Rose flavor was excellent. The Mixologist/Bartender was polite, but stoic. Bar area is open and spacious with a great view of the distillery equipment. And that's a great color for the exterior. Hope they pack in a crowd. read more

We've been wanting to go here since purchasing their Bourbon! We use it to mix with health aid's kombucha cherry citrus sour mix, bitters, and Mike's hot honey. A delicious combo. The ambiance was great! Modern boho. Music was straight out of my RnB playlist. Bright and cozy vibes. The Freeland flight was prettier than it tasted unfortunately. that flight alone, I'd give 3.5/5. It was good and worth a try, but I wouldn't say they were great recipes that I'd wanna get again. They weren't as balanced as I liked. Out of the 4, I like the one with the cinnamon sugar rim. But cocktails are subject to people's own preferences. You're just going to have to see for yourself. The whole lineup is a MUST try! Their spirits alone are so beautifully crafted. The aromatics and tongue feel is divine. If you're not a fan of gin, this is where you'd start. You should also really try old Tom style gins and gin by Aria! Then you can really see how diverse and complex yet delicate gin can be. Freeland did amazing in their distilling process. It was our first time trying a geneva (jenever/Dutch gin) and it was delicious. It was almost rye whisky like. The most surprising was their dry gin, it was smokey, almost mezcal like. We loved em all. Service was good. They were friendly and provided a nice explanation of the drinks. read more

This place is beautifully decorated, lots of plants. The people working are super nice, I ordered a drink that was lots spicier than I expected and the bartender made me a different drink with zero rudeness, just a smile. I expected to pay for the new drink but he didn't charge me. It was lovely to be treated so kindly. I feel like a lot of bars in portland would never. The herb popcorn was a scrumptious and perfect accompaniment to their fancy gin. Also the fact that there was a little basket of tampons in the bathroom literally made me swoon. I didn't even need one but it was just a very thoughtful touch. read more

So I totally thought I was going to do this epic distillery day tour with all these stops... turns out after one stop I get pretty buzzed and will wander about doing something completely different. Usually ending up stuffing my face, going home, doing some ill advised drunk texting, and "resting my eyes" for hours. Showing up sober, I could really take in the decor and vibe. This distillery is very welcoming and was lively. They serve food, but I was still stuffed from my late lunch. I was there to drink! Wait... I mean taste! I ordered the standard tasting that comes with a cocktail. When it came out all the tastes were on a board along with the cocktail... This is my personal pet peeve, because bringing out the cocktail at the same time as the tastings means you have to rush, so that your cocktail doesn't end up a watery mess. On the flip side I can see how this might aid another taster in being able to taste hard alcohol straight... The server was nice and walked through each selection and then left me alone to taste. The real standout for me was the gin, which is surprising because I usually dislike gin. I think I might get a bottle this next trip. It was really that good. In all I recommend you visit and taste for yourself! read more
