    Lime and ginger mocktail-fresh ginger

    I really enjoyed having drinks here. They offer tasty mocktails as well as cocktails. Friends and I landed here when on our way to the cigar bar upstairs. Service was great at the bar. Suggestions were provided based on taste and preference. All fresh ingredients. No presecco here just as an fyi.

    What a great distillery! Located next to the Fillmore that holds concerts and other shows, is this amazing distillery. Located on the on the side this great distillery offers wonderful cocktails for the drinking public. The wine lace is a great place to gather with friends and do a wonderful taste testing on different Gins. The servers are friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the equipment and process of marking the wonderful liquors. The 2md floor has a really nice cigar bar for the pairing of a beautiful cigar with your whiskey. Should your group be larger, they have a 4th floor private bar that offers an excellent view of Philadelphia. Highly recommended.

    Food Family and I came over for some drinks after dinner. They had a wide variety of selections for multilple Gin-based cocktails. I got the Pensylvania punch which uses a dry Gin and some citrus. I gotta say this was a pretty good drink as it was pretty refreshing and not super strong and just hit the right amount of gin/juniper notes. Service/Ambiance I like the ambiance of the tasting room and it wasn't too packed on a friday night as well. Our server was nice and we got our drinks pretty quick. I like that you have full view of the distillery in the back and decor with all the gin bottles are a nice touch. They also have a store filled with different souvenirs and gin bottles as well.

    Super cool place to stop before a show at the Fillmore. Neat inside the old building. My drink was great and the food was outstanding!

    My girlfriend and I came here on a Friday night for one of their cocktail classes. It was a wonderful evening and highly recommended. $75 per person for a two hour class, includes hors d'oeuvres, a welcome cocktail, plus three additional cocktails and direct instruction from a bartender on how to make them. The class was upstairs on the fourth floor in their private event space, and led by Sam. He was incredible! Very knowledgeable about the vast world of cocktails, not to mention a very funny and engaging speaker. The three cocktails we learned about were a Penicillin, an East Side, and a Negroni. All were exceptional (and strong... we're feeling it a little this morning). All in all a fantastic date night in an elegant setting. Would definitely do again.

    I am obsessed! I was seeing a show at the Fillmore this weekend and wanted to pop in here for a drink prior after reading all of the rave reviews - SO glad I did. This part of town will always be popping off on weekends with shows at the major venues and many weddings/rehearsal dinners/events in the summer, and this was the case at Philadelphia Distilling. They had a buyout in their primary downstairs space but I was super excited when the welcoming host staff let me know they were running their "speakeasy with snacks" upstairs on the 4th floor. I took the elevator up where I got views of the barrels and their beautiful downstairs bar. I do want to go back sometime soon and get the full experience, but their fourth floor space boasts city and bridge views and a very chill vibe. They were serving a more limited version of their menu upstairs which worked for me, as every cocktail on the menu sounded incredible. I went with the strawberry Negroni and it was flawless. Their gin is smooth and refreshing, and the bar staff here is top of the line in both hospitality and skill. This will be a go-to for me anytime I am hankering for a gin cocktail. Prices in the speakeasy space were refreshingly reasonable as well ($12 for a cocktail). Note that the speakeasy space is only utilized when there's events downstairs, but if you're lucky enough to stumble into it I highly recommend taking advantage.

    Philadelphia Distilling is a brewery and tasting room. Having a meal in the tasting room with windows to see inside of the distillery makes for a nice atmosphere. They make primarily gin, and the gin cocktails are outstanding. If you are feeling adventurous, you can have the bartender make you some cocktails off the menu. For food, I started off with the crispy potatoes and the wings. The crispy potatoes were very crispy and came with a dipping sauce that complemented it to perfection. The wings were top of the line wings. They were covered in just the right amount of sauce so as to not make them very messy. I ended my meal with the beef burger. It was cooked medium as requested and juicy. Not quite as juicy as the very best burgers, but it was very good and I devoured it quickly. I did arrive late for my reservation and halfway through the meal the waitress informed my dinner companion and I that we would have to move to the bar soon because they need the table for the next reservation. Thankfully, the manager came by 10 minutes later and said we could stay at our table. If we had been forced to move, I would have never visited Philadelphia Distilling again. We didn't move and were able to enjoy our delicious meal. I'll definitely come back to eat here before any concert at the Fillmore.

    This place is super cool inside. The bartenders were so friendly and willing to answer any questions. Restrooms are gender-neutral, clean and smelled good. We didn't eat here, but the drinks were amazing. The Free of Tax was so good I want to attempt to recreate it when I get

    Lovely and kind bartenders, delicious amaro, solid cocktail list. Really enjoyed the "nice jumbuck." PS. Didn't love the roach in the bathroom.

    ABSOLUTELY Loved my first time visit to Philadelphia Distilling. The ambiance and vibes were truly what I was looking for after a long day. It's very spacious, clean and the decor is top notch! The music was fitting and good for the energy that was around. It wasn't packed, and I was grateful to snag a seat at the bar. I didn't sit outside, I sat at the bar but the outside looked inviting and a good time. I loved the potatoes (recommended by the bartender), but was also told great things about the wings (for next time)! I had an enjoyable experience. Gretchen was truly kind and great beyond words. She was very informative and helpful knowing it was my first time and helpful with recommendations. I also spoke with Jesse for a bit and his hospitality was phenomenal! Please check out this venue and schedule a tour if you're able.

    I just turned 22, and have a huge issue with fancier places like this one taking me seriously and treating me like any other normal customer. The last experience me and my friend had at an establishment I will not name, we were very disrespected and it came down to our young appearance and age. Rightfully so, we were nervous to go here and have the same thing happen. I am so happy to report that the hostess, and waiter were both so sweet! We explained that we didn't understand how martinis worked, and he said that this was the place to learn and try! He was right! he explained the ins and outs and we got our martinis and were treated so wonderfully! Also the potatoes are just to die for.

    Fantastic experience! I met a friend here to take in a drink and a snack before a show. The vibes were fantastic, the decor super cool, and the service was impeccable. I don't typically enjoy gin, but the bartender made a suggestion and the drink was fantastic (also true for the second drink)! Every dish we had was delicious.

    Love this place! Reviewing after my 2nd visit, although it certainly won't be my last. Only indulged in the cocktails, but from the looks of it, the food takes in 5-stars as well. Made a reservation through open table, but the seating options were relatively casual, allowing for patrons to self seat. I opted for the bar! The cocktails are crafty and boozy but the bartenders are my favorite part. They are friendly and accommodating. PD's drink menu is pretty extensive, yet the bartenders are still willing to make off menu drinks. There is truly something for everyone! Don't sleep on the to-go bottled cocktails either! The old fashion ($30) was just as boozy as the cocktails I drank at the bar, and you get 3-4 cocktails out of the bottle (depending on your pour).

    Tim was a great host. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Philly Brew Tours is a perfect way…read moreto visit multiple breweries and learn about each craft beer. The pace of the tour didn't make you feel rushed. The amount for sampling was very reasonable. Do something different with a group when in Philly. Tim does not disappoint.

    My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of doing City Brew Tours this afternoon with our awesome tour…read moreguide Sam. What I felt stood out and made Sam's tour above all of the other various brewery tours that I've been on, is his complete understanding of the chemistry aspect of the brewing process. It's one thing to be able to understand and recite the step by step process of brewing and some of the biological and chemical reactions, but Sam said he went to school in those fields so his knowledge of this fields of study was truly outstanding (and he also had some great stories about beer as well). We visited Flying Fish (the largest and oldest brewery in New Jersey), Lunacy (a cult favorite brewery that I've actually never heard of that only brews at night given the lunar root of their name) and then Roy-Pitz (their main brewing location in not in Philadelphia, but their sours were brewed on site, which if you know anything about beer, sours and all other types of beer need to be kept separated) and Love City Brew Co (this was the last stop on our tour and was PACKED) in the Spring Garden Arts section of Philadelphia. All of the breweries we visited we got a sort of "backstage" look at their specific brewing process as well as tasted four of their beers. On the third stop we had a late lunch/early dinner of sandwiches or burgers (which I didn't even finish because I was so full). Overall based on things learned, new breweries visited, food portion size, and overall tour guiding, I'd give City Brew Tours a 10/10 if it were possible on Yelp. By the end I couldn't even drink anymore beer (I'm tiny, sue me) and left with some new appreciation of some pretty cool breweries that I had never been too. I understand that not every tour goes to the same brewery, seeing as not all will have the same availability week to week, so I'd defs be interested to do another Brew Tour and get to explore some other breweries as well. City Brew Tours was a full day of fun, facts and brews, would highly recommend!

    Stopped in after a Yelp event walking thru Fishtown and happen upon the tasting room…read more Decided to enjoy the Whiskey Flight which included the White Whiskey which was clean and simple to get started, the Four Grain Whiskey that had a more intimate taste slowly moving to the darker Whiskeys. The Honey Whiskey I knew I was going to like as it had a sweet sip that didn't burn like the two prior. I could see myself drinking it neat or in a cocktail. The remaining two had similar tastes. Again not an expert on Whiskey so I know the Honey won me over with the pronounce sweet finish vs the more traditional whiskeys in the other tasting glasses. Regardless stop in before a night out or a serene way to walk throthrough Fishtown feeling a little bit warmer during the fall months.

There are some interesting takes and combinations and the ingredients themselves are tasty. I went with the cardamon old fashioned, which was fair. I wasn't inspired to buy one of their somewhat pricey bottles of take-home spirits. The vibe itself is somewhat small which wouldn't necessarily bother me but we happened to go on a Sunday afternoon where there were two groups of patrons that were so so loud, borderline screaming. I'm all for having a good time but it was bordering excessive. And the service was strangely slow. It took a fair amount of time to get a menu, when there were essentially no other new people waiting and the bartender was cleaning her station, and getting the drinks/check took a good amount of time. With a lot of other options in the area I probably would chose something else.
