Pork broth might sound weird as a chaser for whiskey, but the saltiness of the broth works much like the sourness of a pickle back - it completely takes away the bite of the alcohol! It is also served warm, perfect for a chilly day. We ordered a total of 26 dashi/pickle back shots lolololol. Shout out to Rachel; a true girls girl; the sweetest bartender that made our experience all the better! Thank you for dealing with our loudness and shenanigans!

Food: we had the Dashi shots and then the same whiskey with pickle back. Rachel gave us some pickles as well. Ambiance: love this small 'speak easy' vibe spirits bar.

I recommended this distillery to my 2 good friends and was excited to come back, but unfortunately…read morethis visit was pretty disappointing. One of my friends and I ordered the Gentle Tussle cocktail, which came with rose petals. While it looked beautiful, we found it very difficult to drink and didn't enjoy the flavor. I understand that cocktails can be a matter of personal taste though so others may feel differently. For my meal, I ordered the brick chicken which is a grilled chicken thigh with potatoes and green beans. The chicken was a little underseasoned and undercooked, the potatoes were unfortunately not fully cooked either, and the green beans had a flavor that seemed off. Overall, I had a very poor experience with the food this time around. The highlight of the evening was our server, who was friendly, attentive, and did a great job throughout our visit. He recommended the cocktail, and while it wasn't for me, I appreciated his service and hospitality. I'm hoping this was just an off night because the server did tell me that the day I went was the first day with their new menu. I'd be willing to give it another try in the future, but I left feeling pretty disappointed this time around.

It's definitely hidden back as it feels a little set back from the road and in condos, but definitely a gem that should not be slept on! It's usually pretty busy so you should come knowing there may be a wait, but if you're lucky and interested, you should be able to snag a seat at the bar and get pretty quick service! That's where I usually like to sit and talk with the bartenders who are always so friendly! The ranch is absolutely delicious if that's something that is your jam though - and their Wing Wednesday deal? MY FAVORITE!! You can even get it for take out! The vibes inside remind me of a 70s grandma's basement and I absolutely love it! It's not your typical GR restaurant vibe and it's just so fun. I love the no fuss feel and worth it.

Servers and bartenders have always been friendly--and fast. They know their cocktails and they're remarkably consistent with the mixes. My old fashioneds tasted the same every time I've gone. Very limited menu, but it'll do the trick when you're in a rush (or if the Lumberbaron Bar has already closed its kitchen). I like the pizzas, especially the mushroom. Don't let the name fool you. It also comes covered with savory cubes of bacon and fresh greens. It's good! I also like the wide open layout. You never feel crowded. Great place to spread out for a cocktail and light bite.

Afterwards, we went to the bar area and had a drink. The service here was impeccable. The food was delicious and the signature cocktails were delightful!

First and foremost, the inside feels like a dive bar (complete with the stale beer smell), but the patio is quirky, fresh, and fun with dogs allowed- lending to a lighter and brighter feel. We snagged a table and chairs that were mostly clean; the server came rather quickly and (though towering in stature) was very quick, adept, and patient with us while ordering. We committed to splitting the crab Rangoon appetizer, the burger special: pimento cheese double smash burger with bacon jam upgraded to fries, and 3 (yes three!) Farmhaus Bloom's to wash it all down. Everything was spectacular. The Farmhaus bloom was my first taste of a delicious blueberry cider lemonade with a splash of lavender that reminded me of a liquid sour jolly rancher. It was deliciously addicting. lol. The burger was also incredible. I'm not that into burgers, but I dare say this was an art form. I would definitely come back and try some more. The crab Rangoon appetizer was fun and a great shareable with the table. Our waiter showed up at the perfect times... truly a master of his craft and would casually ask if we needed a refill. Very on vibe. Overall, I find Logan's Alley to be a local watering hole with surprisingly excellent food. They are actually living up to the term gastropub without even the slightest bit of pretentiousness detected. Very refreshing! It's certainly not a vibe I'd take my kids to, but I would def come back with friends or just the hubby... and with food this good it'll be hard to stay away.
