    Blackberry moonshine margarita
    Sherri J.

    Great little distillery. They do free tastings of their house made bourbon, vodka, moonshine and beer. After the tasting we decided on the Ozark Luau pizza, Blackberry moonshine margarita and house brewed lager. Everything was delicious and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend if you are in the Lake of the Ozarks area!

    We went on a tour and the owner was giving the tour. He explained all about the process on the making of moonshine. The ambiance was very welcoming. We didn't get any food but they do serve popcorn and pizza. The different flavor moonshines were really good. Must stop and take a tour. Friendly staff.

    On a rainy day after labor day, and looking for something cool, we stopped by here and were pretty surprised. It's a bit unassuming, but the drinks were strong and the samples just as friendly as the staff. Which might I add is a family gig. You can really tell it was the owner's dream to make something they're passionate about and everyone pitched in. The vanilla bean moonshine was my favorite. You can also have cocktails after samples. The Harry Potter inspired butter beer one was my friend's favorite.

    Ozark Distillery is awesome!

    Family of 5 did the tour and Dave is awesome!!! Funny, informative, and inspiring! And to top it off you get to taste his fabulous products! It's a must do!!!

    Blackberry margarita on the back patio!

    We love this place. Employees are very friendly and welcoming! We typically sit on the back patio but have needed to sit inside the last couple of visits ( due to weather). Towards the end of our last visit the owner stopped by to introduce himself and to tell us a bit of his and the distillery's history. When my daughter visits from Cape Cod this is always a stop ( or 2) for us! Love the blackberry margaritas and pizza is great too!

    A fantastic, fun, educational experience for our bachelorette party group. Highly recommend taking the tour and doing the tastings. David is a great story teller of his craft!

    We stopped by to see what is the history of the distillery and we were hooked. The customer service , the pizza, the samples and the selection of items did not disappoint. I loved their Bloody Mary's. We were glad that we decided to come in and check out this little hidden gem. I would recommend to come here !

    Make sure you get a reservation as they do fill up quickly during the summertime. All ages will enjoy the tour but 21 and old are the only ones that can try the samples. It took about and hour as the whole process was explained to us and we were taken to a building in the back where all the distilling goes on. Went with my in laws and they seemed to enjoy it too! Very clean facility, they have alcohol for purchase after the tour.

    Our visit to Ozark Distillery, complete with tasting and tour, was nothing short of incredible. The tour, which was only $5, outclassed pretty much every other brewery and distillery tour I have taken. This is thanks in large part to John, the owner, whose colorful and comedic approach to whiskey 101 is informative, hilarious, and doesn't drag on and on like distillery and brewery tours often do. The fact that you can show up early, grab yourself a beer or cocktail from the bar, and carry it with you on the tour is just icing on the cake. The tasting afterwards was informal and plentiful. The corn, cinnamon, and butter bean whiskies were my favorites, though I liked everything I sampled, and we took home a few bottles for later. We just walked in for the tour, but the lady behind the bar was highly recommending to folks that they reserve a spot online. I think we probably got lucky, because our tour ended up being very full. I would definitely try to make reservations. We were in town for a bachelor party, by the way, and the Ozark Distillery visit was a perfect daytime bachelor party activity. They open at 10am on Saturday and take it from me: drinking corn whiskey at 10am in the morning is a fantastic idea! Cheers!

    What a neat little place! A mom and pop moonshine distillery that offers free tours and tastings of their delicious spirits. I wish I knew the couple's names who own and operate this distillery. They are both really fun and very knowledgable. They offer tours on Saturdays. The tour consists of the science behind how alcohol is distilled as well as a little history of how they started their business and funny stories of their distillery mishaps. After the tour you're invited to sample any of their products. They specialize in flavored moonshine, bourbon and vodka. All the spirits are barrel fermented and naturally flavored. They also offer suggestions for drink combos made with their liquors. My favorite was the butterscotch moonshine, hubby liked the straight bourbon but we ended up buying the regular moonshine to mix with Bloody Mary mix- they let us sample it this way! Whew! What a kick! Definitely give these locals a try!

    Stark Caverns - The darkest part of the cave lot up with a black light flash light

    We had such a great time at Stark Caverns! Brielly was a great tour guide and made the whole…read moreexperience fun and educational. The caves were beautiful and we got some really great pictures. We learned a lot throughout the tour and it was a great experience for the whole family. We especially loved the complete darkness experience and the black light portion of the tour. Those were definitely some of our favorite parts. Overall, it was a really fun tour and we are so glad we went. I would definitely recommend Stark Caverns for families!

    Genuinely cool cave. There are algae fossils in there from when Missouri was underwater millions of…read moreyears ago, which is a wild thing to stand next to. Sadly our guide Macy was less "passionate cave enthusiast" and more "reciting a script she's said a thousand times and stopped listening to herself." I still don't know how this part of Missouri used to be an ocean based on the tour. She gave the exact same intro four separate times. Not because groups were bumping into each other, just straight up robot mode, probably from also trying to work in the photo package pitch every single time. Ask a follow up question and you'd get a shrug dressed up as an answer. A kid asked about a mineral and got a confident "nope, not that" immediately followed by "I'm not really a gem expert," which, ma'am, pick one. Nobody could tell us where all the clay that used to be in the cave went (there's a lot of water now after the excavation), how the bootleggers pulled off their operation, or whether the cave's ever taken earthquake damage. Also they sell alcohol at the gift shop right before you head into a dark cave, which feels like a liability seminar waiting to happen. What indigenous tribe did the skeleton remains belong to? How did you know it was an indigenous person(s)? What is the difference between an arrowhead and a spear, and when did those relics be given to be on display? She said the stairs were built by child labor because there are child sized handprints in the concrete, but provided no evidence of truth or why. Was it his 18 kids? No one knows. At least it was cool inside while the weather was hot outside. The cave has a story to tell. Macy just wasn't the one telling it. Would recommend the cave, would not recommend Macy. She already told us she's had a bad Yelp review, and I'm sad to say I understand why.

This time it…read morewas a planned stop, even though it meant leaving my first time on Whiskey Row before 11:00 AM to get here. I had seen the had some higher priced bottles (maybe someday) but i was sure I would find something i liked. I was also sure it would be one of there bourbons . . . . but I ended up leaving with 3 different corn whiskies. One made from red corn, one from blue corn, and a red, white, and blue corn whiskey (250th anniversary of the USA remember). I showed up around 4:00 PM and hadn't signed up for a tour but they were happy to give me a quick tour as well as walk me through every single whiskey. I had a sample flight and ended up taking hme one or two more than planned. Oh, and the guy actually makes wood hats too. You can try them on too. The one i tried on was a little small for me, so no laughing at the picture . . . . okay?

Definitely stop by if driving on 1-70!
