Ambiance: Spacious modern bar and distillery. Service: Tequila Tasting Loved! the staff informed us about the different types tequila, blue agave, and preparation styles. Their open and approachable nature made the experience super fun. Alcohol: Their choice of tequilas are smooth and high quality. So good sipping them un-chilled was pleasant. I usually steer away from hard alcohol, but I truly loved their product. Highly recommend! The space: I loved the layout of the entire distillery. It's very spacious, clean, and modern. In addition, there's a glass wall which provides a view of the manufacturing facility. Parking: Street Tips: Definitely ride share read more

I purchased their new Staria cocktail mixer . The advertised it to be the best mix ever. I received it and tried it to make margaritas. I made three per directions and we all tasted them . Not like a margarita at all . We did not like the taste and did not finish the drink . I've contacted the company via email requesting a refund . I'm being told no way . I was so looking forward to using this product for margaritas but after trying it once , it just does not taste right . Looking for them to do the right thing . I was misled by advertising and now the $29 refund seems like it will create a BK if they refund my money . This product is not as advertised and the customer service is not looking for satisfied or long term customers. read more

No longer offering tasting or service. So don't bother going to this place. They lost license to serve

The private events here are perfect for hanging out with friends while enjoying a few drinks. We were given a tour of the distillery and then a private cocktail making class where the bartenders were very welcoming and fun! Will definitely be back :) read more

I went for a private birthday party event. Started off with a tour of how they make their spirits. The owner was very informative and the staff was very friendly. Service and ambiance were great. They really took care of the place, because everywhere was nice and clean. When we were making cocktails the staff was very encouraging and wanted us to try and create new flavors with our own twist. Overall was a fun and unique experience, and I would recommend to someone who has never been. read more

Took a tasting tour of the distillery on a Sunday afternoon when regular operations were shut down. It made for a rather boring presentation. I could barely follow the tour guide as she speaks fast and low and assumes everyone is following her (internal) references and run-on thoughts. I've gone to tons of tours of distilleries and wineries all over Europe and can understand tour guides even though they speak English as a second language because they incorporate humor, quips, and present in a loud voice. There was very little show and tell to bring alive the points about processing. For example she mentioned wheat used in making alcohol. How difficult is it to pass around a bottle of wheat kernels and point to the vats where the alcohol is fermenting? Then again there were confusing conflations. She mentioned 100 percent organic locally-procured ingredients. So where is the wheat grown locally?? Oh, except the wheat. I simply had a hard time following and keeping in mind the different information pertaining to each of the spirits and liqueurs. I wouldn't recommend this to international visitors since I am barely able to follow along. It's a shame because their products are very interesting particularly as they use organic infusing herbs and plants. For $15 in France I would have had a full flight wine tasting with nibbles and a glass of wine. Here, although they aren't allowed to give you over a certain amount of alcohol in the tasting, surely they could offer some complementary smelling/tasting experiences with food or herbs? We had a taste of five spirits (choose between three tequilas, two gins, two whiskeys, two rums, two vodkas, two amaros which are European bitter style liqueurs and a variety of herbal liqueurs.) The tequilas are made in Jalisco and their anejo aged tequila at $70 is incredibly good. Every one of their spirits is top notch I will give them that. Presentation for the price was a bit of a let down, but still an eclectic find in what is a bleak, industrial setting under a highway...very metaphorically underground Los Angeles. read more

We came here for a company event. The appetizers and samples of the tequilas and wines are amazing. Ginger was my favorite. The 5 course dinner was also amazing. It was an Excellent private tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgable and gave us a fantastic evening at the Greenbar Distillery. We learnt about the history, culture and much more. We are familiar with many distilleries in Cali and this one is one of the greatest. We were very happy with our tour. Time and money well invested! The waiters are very professional. The ambiance of the establishment had a great vibe! Definitely worth going again! read more

Loved the tour of Greenbar Distillery! Our guide was very knowledgeable and witty, she kept the group laughing throughout the tour. The distillery is pretty small, probably expect to spend about an hour or less for the entire tour. You get tiny tastings throughout the tour, and a few more at the very end. Because of distillery laws, they're only allowed to serve up to 6, 1/4 ounces of tastings per tour. You also cannot purchase most of their alcohol on site. Check their website for more tour info: https://greenbardistillery.com/visit-distillery/distillerytour/ Overall, it was a fun experience. I've never heard of Greenbar before but now that I've learned much about it, I'll have to seek this out at Whole Foods. Love that everything is made organically and as environmentally friendly as possible. There is plenty of free street parking. During colder weather, bring your jacket! It's cold inside the distillery. read more

I had an event here in October and the staff and bartenders were unprofessional and unorganized.

I'm going to admit it, I'm very biased towards another certain Arts District distillery. But, I'm still glad I visited Greenbar. I think their company story is cute and their commitment to all-organic ingredients and sustainability should be praised and admired. Plus all their offerings were delicious too. Definitely try the Jasmine liqueur! If you're coming here, take advantage of the Groupon deal to be worth the experience and liquor samplings you get. Parking is a breeze so don't worry. When you arrive, you are greeted and checked-in. Tour starts promptly and you are guided into their distillery room. The room size is modest but the power of their machines was impressive to learn about. My tour guide was amiable and open to questions, which was appreciated. The tour will cover the history of Greenbar and its bragging rights as LA's first legal distillery post-Prohibition. Then you'll go over all the the distillation machinery and their quality control process. It's interesting how they attempt 95% quality for all their products, thus, apparently a bottle produced from years ago will taste the exact same as one made today. So why 3 stars? I know legally, you're alloted only a certain amount of tastings so you don't drive drunk, etc. but I found it a bit lacking and overall unfortunate you could only try 3 other options through the 3 drink tokens they give you during check-in. Overall, the other distillery experience was just so *magical* I really can't help but compare. I think the cocktail mixing class they offer might be a better experience than just the tour with limited tastings. read more

All respect to cocktailians! The whole "designing a new cocktail" thing is waaaaay harder than it looks. When my friend invited me to partake in a Cocktail Class at Greenbar Distillery, my first thought was: do I get to drink the cocktail I invent? And the answer is yeah, of course you do, if you can: my first attempt was way too heavy on the herbals for more than a few sips. While my second cocktail was a huge improvement over the first, it still lacked a certain something. Bow down to the cocktail artists of the world. So I am not a big fan of cooking in general and sometimes am challenged in the area of following directions, especially if numbers are involved. But Greenbar made the learning process so simple. Our class started with a brief lecture about the best ratios of alcohol to sweet to tart for our cocktails. Then we were provided with a worksheet to help us select our ingredients (Greenbar spirits and all organic produce were provided). We were shown step by step how to muddle, shake and pour. And it was a lot of fun. Of course, the best cocktail by far was the City of Angels we were given right at the beginning of class, compliments of the Distillery. While I do like the name of my cocktail (Tequila Thyme), astute cocktail experts will observe that an herbal is probably not the way to go with tequila. (See margaritas, all-time favorite cocktail of Americans.) The spirits and cocktail tools are all available for purchase in the Distillery. Many of the spirits are made right there in the Distillery (tours are available, call first.) And by the way, everything is locally sourced and organic when possible. Taking a cocktail class here would be a great bachelorette party idea, date idea, or girls' night out. Street parking. read more

I visited Greenbar Distillery for a cocktail class through a Match.com event (not ashamed to admit it!). Although I didn't find human love, I did find the love of some liquor bottles. The staff at Greenbar greeted us warmly as we signed in and put on nametags. With about 20 of us in attendance, we stood around large tables that were covered in different types of liquor, mixers, fruits and veggies (yes, veggies!) for muddling, and garnishes. The staff member explained the different parts of a cocktail to create a balance between liquor, bitter and sweetness, naming a few common variations before letting us have it. We were able to make three cocktail experiments. It was fun chatting with folks, trying each other's drinks and even photographing our concoctions at a very specific cocktail photography station if we so desired - yes, I desired to photograph my drink. At the end of the night, you could buy the distilled-on-premises liquors and other supplies in the downstairs space. Even without the pretense of Match.com and dating, I would totally come for another class! read more

My friends and I toured the Greenbar Distillery for a friend's birthday. The distillery is conveniently located in the Arts District area and it wasn't hard finding street parking nearby. We arrived late, but we easily joined the group while they were already on tour. For ~45 minutes, my friends and I listened to the Greenbar guides as they provide excellent overview of the distillery, the distilling process, the ingredients they use, and the resulting organic spirits and liqeurs. We got to sample three flavored 1 oz. tasters during the tour and another three of your choice afterwards. My favorite was the jasmine liqeur because it tasted like a sweet jasmine tea syrup. The guides were all enthusiastic with great sense of humor, which made the tour more enjoyable. Overall, I thought my first distillery tour was fun and educational. I learned a lot and had a blast with my friends as a group. My bf even bought a bottle of whiskey towards the end at the gift shop. read more

This place makes an excellent product. Al of their ingredients are organic and any of their flavors are intense and clean. I often find flavored liquors to taste artificial, but I like all of theirs. My favorites are the jasmine and ginger, but also the hibiscus, but that one is more like an aperitif for me. The staff is knowledgeable and willing to help make a selection. It is housed in a beautiful space with an airy upstairs bar that overlooks barrels below in the distillery. Parking is free on the street. read more

Greenbar Distillery - Private part - Distilleries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Greenbar is taking the traditional concept of a distillery and twisting it while maintaining the core spirit of it all. Rooted in a desire to get his wife drunk at family events this distillery isn't just making the classics, they're pushing into infusions and making what could have just been a vodka into a spicy ginger liquor that mixes well or sips as a digestif. Asking, 'why does everyone only use white American oak for whiskey?' And answering with a blend of 5 different woods infused into their aging process to make their smooth and unwieldy 5-woods whiskey in barrel strength and diluted for those that can't hang. They started using organic ingredients simply for the stronger flavors, but then pushed further to become a carbon negative facility. Every 2 oz. pour puts them and you into a carbon neutral to negative state because they plant a tree for every bottle sold. The amount of carbon offset on the lifetime of the tree far outweighs the impact of producing the bottle, so sit back and enjoy! read more

It has been more than 4 years since our last visit to Greenbar. Last time we did a tour and tasting. This time (Saturday, October 19th) we did a Tiki Drink Class at the upstairs bar. This class, which is one hour in length, was limited to 8 people. It's small intimate size and pretty reasonable price made it a good activity for this afternoon. We had an excellent host at Greenbar. I apologize that I forgot his name; however, he provided excellent information in a manner that was easy to listen to. He provided four sample drinks to each of us, sharing information on each drink and the history of tiki drinks along the way. The last two sample drinks were creations that were made by us as a group. It was a fun time, and I would definitely participate again in the future. I wish this company the best of luck! read more

If you need a fun activity to do for an hour, this is your place! They start promptly at the tour time so make sure you come 15 minutes early. You can park on the street. The California law says you can only have six tasting so you try three on the tour and then you get three tokens to choose what you want. The people that work there are definitely passionate about what they do. You got a nice little history of the things that they do that are organic. you really don't move too much on this tour... You kind of just stay in the same room. I purchased the ginger liquor which would be a good mix with vodka or soda. I almost got the orange one which is really smooth and delicious. read more

Go to Greenbar. That is all. Just kidding, you all know I can't keep my mouth shut about places that I'm obsessed with. My husband did a stop here for his bachelor party. He hosted a private party here for his birthday. We came here for their Black Friday special event and won all the prizes. Then we came here again today for Fathers Day. Needless to say, there is always a reason to stop by Greenbar in our household. This place does a really nice job of hosting special events. They decorate. They set up games. Today they had delicious artisan ice cream for us to try. I had a strawberry and black pepper ice cream -- yum! This place is just so different from other bars. Any chance you have to grab a drink here, do it! It is definitely the oldest Distillery in LA and at one point was the only one in town. They make their own stuff and it's sooo good. My favorite drink here is a lemon vodka with lavender bitters. It might sound strange but the combo is fantastic. My husband loves the Cask Strength Slow Hand Whiskey, though when I asked him what his favorite was he vacillated between that and Ixa Anejo Tequila. Indecisive men, am I right?!? The staff here is really fun and personable. Jess hosted our private party and she was just on the top of her game the whole night. Everyone had a blast and raves about the night. Thanks again for a fun party, Greenbar! read more

I recently visited Greenbar for a tour and it was great! At $12.5 per person, the tour is a great price. During the tour, the guide describes the entire process from fermentation, distillation and infusions. And also talks about the company, how they got their start and their green initiatives. The tour includes 6 samples of their liquors, 3 of which they choose and 3 of which you can choose whichever liquors you'd like to sample. Their liquors are really good. I loved the Fruitlab Ginger liqueur. It would be great in a Moscow Mule! I also loved the reposado tequila and the Fruitlab Orange liqueur. I wasn't a big fan of their Slow Hand Whiskey, but all the other liquors I tried were great! A few other things I loved about Greenbar: -All their products are USDA organic! -They use real ingredients to produce their products. For example, they hand peeling 2,000 lemons to make a batch of their lemon vodka. -None is their products are super sweet (in a good way). -Pomegranate seeds is one of the ingredients that is fermented to make their vodka, which gives the vodka a unique creaminess. -The production area is really clean! -For every bottle sold, they plant a tree in South America, so they are a carbon footprint neutral company. Greenbar also has cocktail classes, vodka tastings and whiskey tastings! The Greenbar Distillery tour is a lot of fun, very interesting and definitely worth doing! read more

First time at a distillery and it was surprisingly entertaining, educational, and tasty! I purchased a groupon for Greenbar since my bf enjoys whiskey and he has been wanting to visit a distillery. When we arrived, it looked a little sketchy outside but once we got inside, it was fine. Parking is plentiful on the street and they have a small lot across from their building. Our tour guides gave us the history of Greenbar and then came the tastings. I do have to say that I can really taste the difference in quality from other "flavored" alcohols I have tried. We started off with the orange and it really tasted like orange. Our tour guides told us that they hand zest the oranges to infuse the flavor into the alcohol. My bf, an avid whiskey drinker, loved the 6 oak aged whiskey. He said that it was smooth and that he could really taste the difference that using 6 different types of oak made in the drink. He ended up buying a bottle of this and for $30, it was a great deal. Definitely give this place a try! With the Groupon deal, makes it even better! read more

Give this place a shot...because they will give you one! We had a great time and really enjoyed the tour, tasting and good natured banter and serious discussion about a serious subject...drinking. We left with a nice bottle and actually tried more of their products down the street at Eat, Drink Americano a short time later...good stuff, distinct and honest flavors. Bonus alert! Between their efforts at environmentally friendly processes and the fact that they plant a tree for every bottle sold - you are pretty much carbon neutral for a day when you drink Greenbar liquors! I'll drink to that...again. read more

Greenbar Distillery is the only distillery I have heard of in the LA area. Located in the Arts District area. They have a small parking lot and they also have free street parking. Tours are reservation only. It costs $12 for the tour. You can get a good deal on Groupon and stack the 20-25% off coupon with it. Tour was around 45 minutes with tastings. You get 6 1 oz tasters. 3 from the tour and 3 you can pick yourself. The liquors are really sweet. Whisky was not bad, not the smoothest. The tequila was pretty good, smoother than I expected. They also have an upstairs level that you can host parties at. Friendly workers, tour was cool. Worth a visit to the OG distillery of the LA area. read more

Went on the tour and loved it. This place is super cute. I was so impressed by their efforts to conserve and give back. I learned quite a bit about the process of making their amazing and organic spirits. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Awesome experience. Most importantly, the booze was delicious! I tried the vanilla vodka, hibiscus liqueur, grand poppy, orange liqueur, silver tequila and another vodka that was savory...can't remember the name. They were all great. I like sweet drinks so my faves were the vanilla vodka and the liqueurs. I have to say that the tequila was exceptional. My husband loved the gin and the grand poppy. We purchased a bottle of the lemon vodka and can't wait to whip up some fresh cocktails at home. read more

Attended a private event here and environment the people are so welcoming and fun! This is going to be a regular!

Greenbar Distillery is worth a visit...great fun...excellent tour, educational to learn about how they distill and infuse and gain an appreciation for the effort they put into delivering an exceptional, purely organic, tasty product! Located in downtown LA, they offer great tours, tastings and cocktail classes. We attended a private tour and had outstanding service and enjoyed tasting six different 1-oz varities of vodka, gin, whiskey and liquers (favorites were Jasmin and Orange). Facility is located in the Arts District area and there is easy parking available. Tours are reservation only (check out Groupon for a coupon, etc). Tour takes about 45 minutes with tastings and you have the pleasure of indulging in about 6 one ounce tastings of your favorites. They also offer a very nice looking and well designed upstairs level that you can host parties at or sign up for cocktail mixing lessons, etc. Overall great experience and worth a visit! read more

Parking: loads of parking in front of this distillery. Tour: we paid around $15 per person for the tour and there was also a service charge. We came for an afternoon your, the two host were really great and attentive. We basically had a few tastings of what they made. Walked downstairs for a tour and went back up to try a few more tastings of our choice. Their product are all natural and made from organic ingredients. I found it fun and interesting to go with friends. I would suggest that they sell their product on the tour at a discount because their prices were not different from when you'd buy it from the store. You may also host parties here. read more

Greenbar is amazing. What a nice distillery and distillery tour. I purchased a groupon for my friends and I and we had a great time. You can clearly see the time and effort they put into making this place a gem, and it is. Our tour guides were quite knowledgeable, which we expected. The tastings were great and it was all organic so even better. The bottles are pricey but I see why and it's worth it. There's plenty of street parking and they have a lot. The distillery is in a remote part of somewhat downtown but no issues. This is definitely a could thing to add to the to-do list if ever you have friends in town. read more

I signed up for the Cocktails for Lovers experience and my wife and I loved it. Cocktails for Lovers is an attempt to craft the perfect cocktail for you and your significant other. Bennett, our mixologist and the tasting room manager, had read the questionnaire I had completed online during registration and was prepared with some signature cocktail suggestions. During the process of determining our signature cocktail, we tasted a number of Greenbar's spirits and smelled their homemade bitters. Over the course of 90 minutes, we honed in on a perfect cocktail, came to appreciate the unique flavors of Greenbar's Bright Gin and Vodka, and left with booze and a recipe to create our cocktail at home. I highly recommend the Cocktail for Lovers class or just a tour of the distillery. read more

Correct your hours of operation. Confused why there's no indication that you're closed on a Saturday on Instagram, Yelp, or website

Amazing spirits, amazing location, and amazing people. An incredible source for local, organic, sustainable spirits in a great location for events, tours, and cocktail classes. My wife and I have been to half a dozen events here and they've never failed to impress and our bar is thoroughly stocked with a slew of Greenbar products (most notably their Slow Hand Whiskey and their Bright City Gin). Everyone on staff is incredibly friendly and well informed and we always learn something new with every visit (thanks to Robert for being a great guide during our last tour!). Whether you're going for a tasting or if you want to book the space for an upcoming event, I can't recommended Greenbar highly enough! read more

Greenbar recently hosted our company holiday party and it was perfect! We may just record this as the best one yet! The tour was awesome-thanks for the animation Joaquin! Everyone loves what they do and it shows through their work ethic. There is passion everywhere in that place! We rented the Skybox room and the bartenders were super cool, professional, knowledgeable and quick. Our party consisted of 55 guests (all drinkers) and with only two bartenders serving, you would think there would be quite a wait considering everyone approached the bar at once, but there wasn't. The service was not compromised under any circumstance, and the drinks were all so delicious! So, please let them host your next event. We had a caterer, music, tables and chairs, the whole shebang! Thank you Litty and Bennett for the hospitality. See you again, soon! read more
