When a friend of mine, who like me also enjoys bourbon, suggested StillTheOne, I was excited to pay them a visit. That visit went in unexpected directions - not bad ones fortunately. Even though they have a small parking lot, you might not be able to find a spot. In that case, be prepared to park on a side street, possibly up to a few blocks away, and then be prepared to walk uphill a couple of blocks. The tasting area is very welcoming and cozy, with seats at a small bar, "bistro barrels," some long tables and at least one really comfy sofa. The owners are really knowledgeable and friendly. They're the type of people with whom I'd enjoy sitting down and having a conversation, if they weren't already busy running the place. This was a place where I was surprised that I wasn't fond of the bourbon. The whiskey and rye were more appealing to me. But the big surprise was the honey vodka. I've never been big on vodka or vodka cocktails, and I'd never had one I'd consider sipping. This one I would. Similarly, the gin was very interesting, and this would not be a gin I'd use for traditional cocktails, but would find other options. But this is still a really neat place to visit. Once you find which liquors and cocktails you like here, I could see spending a nice amount of time here with friends.

Great place for anything from a custom whiskey cocktail to a smooth, unadulterated rye, bourbon or…read morevodka. I've been here several times, and though hard to find - it's worth the trip. I'm a huge fan of the 914 Bourbon and the honey vodka. If you don't like vodka - you will still like this vodka. And if you like vodka, you will be drinking this stuff neat. It's unbelievable good and really smooth. They also do karaoke nights and have food trucks on Saturday so it's just a cool place to spend some time with other friends and just enjoy an authentic distillery experience that's a short drive from some great at restaurants.

My friend and I had a great time visiting this local distillery. I was visiting a friend while in…read moreNY and we decided to venture out to this side. This distillery came up and looked like a cool place. It's not big, but it does feature a seated bar, as well as an area with a couch to chill at. They serve both flights of their whiskey, as well as offer cocktails. I opted to try a flight to try a variety. Some of the whiskey does come off strong (i.e. the Full Proof) and was interesting to try. Surprisingly, the most memorable of the bunch was the Blaze. I'd say it resembles more like Fireball whiskey, except it's much smoother and doesn't taste cheap. I'm not normally a fan of Fireball, but you can easily sit down and try Blaze with friends, and they'll probably enjoy it.

I think this is an awesome distillery and I can see it being even more fun in warmer weather! This place is know for whiskey and rye. It's cool because they do sampler in a little vile glass which I think is creative. Their cocktails were also super delicious! The service was great! It's seems that they definitely have regular customers that come in. It's not too big of a spot but there was a lot of seating both tables and around the bar.

We did a quick search, saw Jersey Spirits Distilling and decided to give it a try. I would have never known it existed since it's tucked in the back of an industrial complex. From the outside, it looks small, but it's pretty spacious inside. When we were seated, our server gave us a brief history of the distillery. I love that it's family-owned and all of the ingredients are locally sourced from NJ. There are so many different cocktail options, and some of them were so creative in their presentation. Since I was having a difficult time deciding, I went with the Espresso Martini flight. It came with a Traditional, Pistachio, and Jelly Ring martini. I also ordered a cookie butter martini. My favorite was definitely the creamy pistachio martini. I am so happy to have discovered Jersey Spirits Distilling and can't wait to visit again soon!

If you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of their working cats in the warehouse. For $20, a tour includes the animated history of Kings County, the process of distlling, and a healthy sampling of 4-6 spirits. The cocktail bar is fun, historic, beautiful, and chic. The menu is varied, with something for everyone. I had an espresso martini that was incredibly smooth and delicious. Bathrooms are down a historic, metal spiral staircase, so if accessiblity or mobility area a consideration, I would call ahead to ensure existence of appropriate accommodations. They have a lovely, quite spacious outdoor area that I'm sure is lovely in the summer.
