Absolutely love coming here with friends! It's dark inside, can get pretty packed and loud, but for…read moregood reasons. This place is located near a bunch of other restaurants and shops. There's booth and table seating, bar seating, and outdoor seating. The bartenders are nice, the drinks are amazing, and the food is also super good. My cousins and I love coming here for their May 4th Stat Wars week every year to get themed mugs and drinks. My favorite drinks here are the Macadamia Nut Chi Chi, Lava Flow, and Saturn. The drinks are strong and delicious at a good price. They serve food from 4p-10p and I'd recommend the Togarashi fries (spicy and delicious) and coconut shrimp. They recently did a menu change and added dole whip too! Definitely come check them out!

October 26, 2024…read more This review is for the cocktails, venue and staff only. We've been wanting to check this place out for years, but just didn't get around to it. Last Saturday, we were in the neighborhood, so decided "It's time!" First of all, we didn't realize they had food. Upon arriving, we noticed the nice outdoor patio seating with quite a few customers enjoying brunch. We walked inside and were quite taken with the spacious area, so we decided to sit inside and order a couple cocktails. We had already eaten lunch, and we weren't at all hungry, so we didn't order anything to eat. Service was quick and friendly. Bartender was awesome. We each ordered a smoked old fashioned ($13.00), and because we had asked the bartender how they are "smoked", he made the drinks at our table so we could watch how he made them. We enjoyed our cocktails very much, enough so that we each ordered one more. This time I ordered a Pumpkin Spice Old Fashioned ($12.00). Autumn in a cocktail, yes! Very good. As we were sipping our second cocktail, we were offered a free tour of the distillery, which we heartily accepted. On our tour, we learned about the history of this family-run business (interesting!), and were led into the back where we learned how the magic happens. Definitely a fun date (call for tour times). In addition to the tour, there is a small museum that highlights the J.J. Pfister story. From their website: "From humble beginnings as the J.J. Pfister Knitting Company to a state-of-the-art craft distillery, the J.J. Pfister story spans more than 170 years. The J.J. Pfister logo - a combination of a knitting machine and a copper still - marries our past, present, and future as we carry on the family tradition of excellence started by our family patriarch, J.J. Pfister, in the late 1800s. The J.J. Pfister museum displays original company memorabilia from the early 1900's, including catalogues, swimsuits, knitting needles, and business records, as well as showcases the Panama Pacific Exposition of 1915." Check it out!

JJPfister Distillery and Restaurant - Rancho Cordova , CA - October 26, 2024…read more We'd been wanting to come to this distillery for quite a while. My wife and I both enjoy a little distilled spirits. We arrived around 3 PM on a Saturday afternoon. They have both indoor seating and a very spacious outdoor patio. There were quite a few people sitting outside and it seemed a little noisy, so we opted to sit indoors near the bar. It has a very warm and modern feel to it with high top tables and chairs. We were seated pretty quickly and given waters and menus. They have lots of drink and food choices. They have a Saturday brunch from 11 to 3 with breakfast related items as well as soups and sandwiches. Prices are very reasonable in the $14-$20 range. We'd already had lunch, so we decided just to get a couple of drinks. We got a look at their menu and decided to have a couple Smokey Old Fashioneds. I asked to have a little smoked rosemary added in to mine as well. Both drinks were outstanding! After we had already ordered, my wife, noticed that they had quite a few seasonal specialty Fall cocktails. She decided to have a Pumpkin Spiced Old Fashioned, so I decided to give their rye whisky a try (neat). My wife fell in love with the Old Fashioned and I liked the whiskey. Bartender Cory also sent me a small sample of their Pacific Rails Rye Whiskey aged in a Cabernet wine cask. It was also delicious. As we were enjoying our drinks, we were greeted by a friendly JJPfister representative, Colleen, who asked us if we would like to take a tour of the distillery. We were delighted to say "yes!" Colleen walked us into the processing part of the facility where we saw a grain auger, pipes and pumps, mash tanks and fermentation tanks, and an amazing array of distillation towers. It was very impressive! We also got to sample a whiskey and gin while we were there. We loved their products and the overall experience. We bought a few bottles and we'll be back!

The bartenders were friendly and quick with getting our drinks out. Overall the space is well lit and beautiful. Next time I will have to try to sit out in patio.

Im a bit disappointed in the happy hour food…read more I've been here several times for their drinks, but something just didn't click in my most recent visit. I came here for happy hour and ordered a handful of their items. Chicken Lumpia - over all I was pleased with how piping hot, fresh out the fryer it was. A bit thin for my linking but I appreciated there were 6 pieces. The sauce did not pair well. There was something off about it that isn't your typical sweet and sour; maybe the sauce was made in house. Sisig fries - decent portion of fries but fell short on the pork. Lacked an egg and didn't really meet the sisig flavors that I'm used to. You can definitely taste the zestiness of the lemon - nice touch, but other than that it's just fries with pork, red onion and green onion garnish. Hot dog - a $9 happy hour hot dog was the biggest disappointment. Sure the bread texture was good, toasted with a nice chew, but that was it. The dog itself was charged to my linking but it really didn't feel worth the money spent for its portion. Fries - 100% would get again. Cauliflower bites - I liked this too, flavor was good but such a small portion our table has to order two. Similar to the hotdog, not sure if it's worth the spend for the portion size. Despite the food not satisfying my cravings, the service was great. The young lady was helpful and was working hard taking orders, making drinks and delivering the food. The place was pretty busy at least the indoor area. Plenty of seating outside, but in this heat not sure if it's a good idea. Didn't see any misters but would be a nice touch to draw in more folks. Side note: some of the cocktails are premade, and can be overly sweet.
