So cool to just walk around and check things out. Oh, by the way, the drinks are GREAT! We tried a couple varieties, with different liquors and all were good. We ended up buying a bottle of gin. It was mid-afternoon on a Monday so not crowded whatsoever so just got served right away. Bartenders were nice and gave nice recommendations based on what liquors we like.

We liked the cocktails, we ordered the ribeye steak and it was perfect and we split everything and they split the plates and gave us extra portions of vegetables and potatoes without charging extra.

Try your favorites on the rocks, or mixed with high-quality fruits, syrups, mixers, juices, and bitters. Trust me, they know what they're doing here! My recent trip to the tasting room was great- The bartender (Alex) was killing it with everyone's drinks, and he convinced me to try the "El Picante", a Gin-based margarita, which was insanely good! I ordered two and left with a bottle of gin so I can make them at home! Very cool, chill, comfy atmosphere inside. Grab a sofa spot and relax with an artfully made libation while enjoying your stay in Northern Michigan! I highly recommend swinging in and trying something out!

My husband and I stopped in and were immediately greeted at the front door by a lovely woman who made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. She walked us through the tasting experience, pointed out the restrooms, and truly set the tone for such a warm and inviting visit. When we made our way to the tasting bar, we were greeted by a wonderful man who was funny, engaging, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. He explained each spirit so well and made the tasting experience genuinely fun. Come to find out -- the two people taking such great care of us were the owners! Their hospitality and customer service were exceptional and made the experience feel personal and memorable. And the spirits? Absolutely phenomenal. We ended up leaving with six bottles because everything was that good. This was hands-down one of the best experiences of our entire trip. Highly recommend stopping in if you're anywhere near the area!

My husband, who favors sweet beverages, or at least today he does... Insisted that the lemoncello was so delicious from his sampling that they brought him a 3 ounce pour and I swear to you it taste like Lemon Pledge mixed with sugar water. Then he got some cream situation. The lemoncello crema. Before I even drink it, I took a with, and it smelled like breastmilk vomit. Straight baby spit up. My friend tells me that my review is truthful, but kind of mean. But I have had four drinks here and they were all kind of gross. We will probably come back tomorrow. I'm gonna go try the horseradish vodka. Maybe that will be better.

My party suggested we stick around for dinner too, which I wasn't going to object to. I wasn't surprised to hear that we'd have a 35-minute wait on a Saturday. The staff was very accommodating and offered an empty room upstairs to wait and pass the time with some games. We asked if we could order some cocktails, and luckily the answer was yes. We placed an order with the hostess, and she brought those upstairs. Later, when there was a Shirley Temple spill, staff was gracious and whipped up another drink right away. Hospitality deserves five stars alone. What else deserves five stars? The cocktails of course. I had two "hotties," which were perfect with the wintry weather...and smart thinking. Who really wants a cold drink in January? The menu is simple, and much of the food is locally-sourced (huzzah). I vegetarian-ized the Christmas Dinner pizza, and it needed the saltiness/fatiness of the sausage. Still, I'll give points for creativity. Four stars. I get destination vibes from this spot, and I know I'll need to return in the summer months for the most optimal experience...but I was overall impressed with my winter trip. Five stars for Iron Fish Distillery!

We only ordered a couple non alcoholic drinks and an appetizer called summer gratin which included a blended dip of zucchini, summer squash, tomatoes, onions, seasoning, parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and served with toasted pita.
