    Bottles

    Something really cool to do when visiting Charleston! Traxler and Jason do an amazing job. Cocktails are some of the best. They gave us a group tour of their production facility and allowed us to have an immersive experience. Make sure to take home some bottles!

    Grand opening at their new location, Nippitaty continues the high quality spirits. We had the Tom Collins and vodka English mojito, both were amazing. They offer free samples available to sample their product.

    New aurora gin!

    I'm so glad Nippitaty was able to upgrade their distillery and land it right on Spruill ave in North Charleston. Between breweries and distilleries you could make an entire day of visiting just the ones in the Park Circle area. Nippitaty has a great tasting room where they're putting together delicious cocktails using their products and sampling the bottles before you make a purchase. Nippitaty focuses on gin but I've had their vodka too and everything they do is organic. I really do think they have a different flavor profile than comparable products and their specialty gin releases are my favorite. This year I stocked up on the Aurora which is the purple one made with butterfly pea and changes colors to pink in acid. Now that fall is here you'll find me reaching into the cabinet for my Everything Nice which is a cinnamon apple flavored gin. It's always best to support them by stopping in to buy it locally and you might meet the people who make it, but you can always check your local ABC store as well. On certain days you'll find live music and food trucks here too... check it out.

    What a cool distillery! Small place but awesome tasty gin. Great staff. Free tasting. Had to buy a cocktail and a bottle.

    Cocktails never miss. Specials are always good. The south side is amazing and it's the best gin and tonic I've ever had. Ethan rocks!

    Boyfriend and I decided to check out this little gem yesterday since I'm always driving past it. Let me tell you!!! This place is like no other. Great drinks and even better staff, a definite new favorite spot. Looking forward to going back soon!

    This is such a great addition to the Park Circle area! They made me a gin convert! The owner was super friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to take a tour and learn more about how they make their gin. Afterwards, I had the Tom Collins, which was really great. The inside is very simple and not fussy at all. Definitely gives off down to Earth neighborhood joint vibes. You go there for the drinks and friendly staff more than a fancy experience. They used to do a deal with the Junction down the street that if you were waiting for a table at brunch for the Junction, you could walk to Nippitaty and get a discount on drinks while you wait. Overall, it's a great spot for solid drinks in the Park Circle area, and you feel even better about drinking there when you meet the owners and see that they seem like genuinely good people.

    Just the bar area...

    This is an absolute unknown gem of a cocktail place. Best in town. Certainly best in Park Circle. The gym is some of the best thing I've ever had. it's going to South Carolina Laver pallet. So I'm a hard-core Jen snob may find it offensive. but I love it

    Great local gin distillery in North Charleston. If you are a gin lover or not, stop by for a great tasting of this gin. You will appreciate the flavor and effort put forth into this product. My favorite cocktail was the Collins, it was simple with lemon, a little sweetness and very freshening. Take time to discover what's local and home made. Thank you Traxler for your time and hospitality.

    I loved discovering that this organic gin is being made locally. Here we have a "New Wave Style" gin that allows juniper to take a back seat to citrus, cardamom, and cucumber. I love gin that is juniper forward, and I love this gin also. We were offered a tour and a tasting. Our favorite cocktail was the Collins. The space is industrial but the owner/host was great. Thank you Traxler.

    Pink 75 and cucumber mojito with Aurora added

    Quaint looking building from the outside with a intimate tasting room. They offered their gin to taste upon arrival. We both decided on the Aurora gin which has a hint of mint and a citrus backend. We decided on going with a Pink 75 and cucumber mojito. Definitely killer place for craft cocktails!

    This might be one of the best Gins I ever had.. The owner is awesome very friendly and very informative of the process. Highly recommend

The distillery itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a rustic and charming feel, plenty of parking, and a layout that makes it the perfect place to host an event. Even though all the vendors and some food trucks were unable to make it because of the snow, I still had the chance to enjoy a delicious lobster roll and creamy lobster mac and cheese that were incredible. The flavored moonshine was a real highlight and so much fun to try, and the strawberry lemonade was perfectly refreshing. I loved the cute little photo opp signs and all the fun swag. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the whole visit a warm and enjoyable experience. Scotty C, this would be the perfect spot to host a Yelp event or any special gathering for that matter! I am already planning to come back for a tour next time. The distillery itself is just stunning and there is so much to explore. Everything from the beautiful setting to the delicious drinks and food, to the friendly staff, makes Firefly Distillery a must-visit destination.

Hardscoop Distellery has a physical location on Clements Ferry Rd., but their ice cream is sold at liquor stores and Harris Teeter. I recently attended a tasting, where I tried the ice cream and learned more about it- and I've since become a fan and customer. Not only is Hardscoop made locally, but they also use local products. The price is very reasonable for the quality of ingredients as well as the alcohol content. A container of Hardscoop is cheaper than one fancy cocktail, and you can eat the whole container in your pajamas while binge-watching Netflix on the couch, with no judgement. Win win. Hardscoop regularly sells vanilla, chocolate, and coffee ice creams, but also offers seasonal flavors like peach sorbet. I tried each flavor, and the chocolate is hands-down my favorite. These ice creams are 16 proof, except the peach sorbet which is 21 proof. Needless to say, it packs a punch, so keep it away from the kiddos (or the lightweights). I can't wait to try some of the seasonal flavors. Rumor has it there will be a pumpkin spice flavor at the end of September, too.

The space is so nice and big and open. When I walked in, I was greeted warmly, and had a lovely chit chat with the bouncer. She checked my ID, I got my wrist band, and went right in. I stopped at the bar to of course grab a drink before the show. I didn't know what to order as all the drinks looked delicious so the bartender (whom was very nice as well) suggested the Pink 75. It was amazing and definitely packed a punch! I sipped on it for awhile, and made the wise decision to not get a second drink as I was tired from the drive down. The bands I saw there were - Archers, The Rasmus, and The Funeral Portrait. The venue was a great place to listen to some rock music. The sound was amazing, I was able to see where I was standing, and the show started on time. All SUPER important points! The down time between bands was also quick.

    We were passing through Charleston and decided to stop by on a Sunday afternoon…read more My brother and I ordered a flight to sample them all while my mother ordered a pineapple sour. The whole flight was a good sample. The vodka has an off smell but then finishes very smooth. Don't be afraid of The Carolina reaper as it isn't as spicy as you fear. For example, SoCo has a spicy pepper that is crazy hot. The Jasper'sGin had the strong flavor of juniper as promised. I sensed a bit of ginger and pretended to taste the cinnamon. It's smooth gin that I enjoyed. I did appreciate the Tolerance (aka cinnamon liqueur) but not enough to purchase a bottle for my home. The bourbon tastes like bourbon and the Rye like Rye.

The winery has a large property with plenty of space to explore, including what appears to be a small farm with chickens and pigs. On a warm day, the outdoor seating areas with games would likely make for a lovely experience. However, when it came to the wine tasting, the samples were served in plastic cups, which some may actually prefer. But for us, it took away from the overall experience. And most importantly, the wines themselves just didn't impress our palates. We tried a variety of their offerings, but nothing really stood out or compelled us to purchase a bottle to take home. It's a shame, because the setting is really quite nice. But at the end of the day, the wine is the most important factor, and this winery missed the mark for us on that front. If you're in the area and want to spend some time outdoors in a charming environment, it could still be worth a visit. But I wouldn't go out of your way, especially if you're a serious wine enthusiast.
