Here's a polished, vivid English review based on your visit and the menu you shared: Reckless Town Farm Distillery - A Flavor-Forward Experience Worth Savoring My wife and I had an outstanding experience at Reckless Town Farm Distillery, a place that truly treats cocktails as a craft. From the first sip, it was clear that this distillery doesn't just mix drinks -- they design flavors. We both started with the Coffee Old Fashioned, made with Windy Lane Bourbon, coffee syrup, and black walnut bitters, and it was easily a 10/10. What made it special wasn't just the smooth bourbon, but the way the coffee came through -- rich, toasted, and lingering. You could actually feel the coffee beans at the end of each sip, almost like a gentle espresso finish layered over the warmth of bourbon. It was bold but elegant. I then tried the Red Arrow, built on Dust Settler Vodka, ginger liqueur, blood orange cordial, lemon juice, saffron syrup, Aleppo bitters, and Yellow #9 spice. This cocktail is a dream for anyone who enjoys something warm, aromatic, and slightly sweet. The blood orange and saffron bring a deep, exotic sweetness, while the ginger and bitters add a spicy glow that makes the drink feel comforting and complex at the same time -- almost like a winter cocktail with a Mediterranean twist. Later, I sampled their jalapeño-infused vodka, which was vibrant, clean, and spicy without being aggressive -- perfect for cocktail lovers who enjoy a little heat with their spirits. My wife went with the Southern Santa, a beautifully layered drink made with Windy Lane Bourbon, curaçao, orgeat (almond), lemon and lime juices, gingerbread syrup, and ginger-chai bitters. It was absolutely delicious. The citrus brightens the drink, while the gingerbread and chai spices wrap everything in a cozy, holiday-like warmth. The orgeat adds a silky, nutty finish that ties everything together -- exotic, festive, and incredibly well balanced. What really sets Reckless Town apart is their fearless use of spices, botanicals, and house-made syrups -- saffron, gingerbread, chai, almond, blood orange, and even chili heat -- all blended with precision. Nothing tastes artificial or rushed; every drink feels intentional and layered. If you love creative cocktails with bold, unexpected flavors, Reckless Town Farm Distillery is a must-visit. It's the kind of place where every glass tells a story -- warm, spicy, citrusy, smooth, and unforgettable. read more

My wife and went here on a rainy Saturday afternoon. The place was empty when we arrived but started filling up quick. The building is really cool lots of tables and you order from a kiosk. We were greeted by a very nice young lady who explained the process. We placed our order and it came out quick. She explained the whiskey tasting. The whiskeys were very good. I loved all 3 but purchased a bottle of the Windy Lane bourbon whiskey. My wife enjoyed her drink. Even though it said it was spicy it was just a hint of spicy which she enjoyed. We'll be back here and can't wait to bring friends. read more

My buddy and I had a chance to go out tonight and enjoy some local libations. We picked this place as I've wanted to try it for a while. I made reservations but we didn't need them as there was plenty of room. We sat inside cause it was so hot out and got to know Justin and Sean were the bartenders. We had great drinks, starting with my aged flight and ending with the Jersey focused drink with their house made vodka, lime juice and blueberries. It was a g ready experience and one we want to do again very soon! read more

We got a recommendation for this place. So, we stopped by after leaving Columbus Market on Saturday. Upon arrival, we noticed there was indoor and outdoor seating. Because of the great weather, we took advantage of the outdoor seating. I ordered the Drunken Banana and my partner ordered the Flying South. You have to use the kiosk to place an order, which is super simple. Our drinks arrived quickly via waiter and I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors. The drunken banana was sweet, but not too sweet. I could taste the banana liquor, the vodka and pineapple juice. I absolutely LOVED IT!! My partner liked his Flying South. It was a strong drink. We completed two rounds and went on our way. We enjoyed our short stint at RFD and look forward to popping up there again when we are in the area. read more

I stumbled upon Recklesstown after leaving a winery and glad I did. Decided to stop in for a drink and this distillery truly has many options to offer. They have vodkas, gin, moonshine, spiced rum, bourbon and distilled IPA. They have a signature cocktail menu too. It's a pretty big space with lots of seating indoor and outdoor. There is merch you can purchase, even pre-made bottles of a cocktail. I bought the cranberry caipirinha to try and it was good (I would prefer it to be a little stronger and I make with Cachaca, this one was made with vodka. Again, not horrible) They are closed Mon - Wed. Sundays, kids are allowed. No food here but you can bring your own, have it delivered, etc. They do have trivia nights and other events from time to time. Would love to come back when it's warmer out. read more

Stopped by today for Mother's Day and had a really nice experience. It was about an hour before their closing at 6:00, much later than their normal closing, but for the Mother's Day holiday. Their server was extremely informative, explaining about their drinks, their ingredients, and providing some tasting samples. Surprisingly (to me), I especially liked their Moonshine! I had two of their drinks - The Margarita, which is not made with tequila but with their moonshine. I also had their, The Whirlwind. (Check the uploaded menu for the ingredients.) I tasted both their aged and not aged moonshine and found both to be quite smooth, surprisingly so. I ended up buying a bottle. I strongly suggest coming here on a nice quiet day, whereby you can really enjoy yourself and maybe chat with the bartenders and learn a little bit about their distillery and the drinks and what comprises them. Overall, a pleasant experience and the server's willingness to engage with a customer really improved the individual experience and - to the owner - product sales! Highly recommended. read more

It took awhile but I finally got here. It wasn't on a food truck Friday or happy hour Thursday, but for a quick Saturday activity before dinner, it served its purpose. We were a little worried that on a sweltering day we would possibly have to sit outside. But due to the holiday weekend they were slow. It's a large space inside too, done nicely. Ordering is at a kiosk unless you are paying with cash. I imagine that with crowds this system can be clunky. We both liked our drinks. My sour was tasty if a bit sweet, and not very strong. My date felt hers were on the weak side too. I usually buy a bottle when I visit places like this, but with all of the bourbons priced at $50 I passed. Mixed drinks and mixers are also available here. Again, at premium prices. We'd possibly return for music or food trucks.... read more

I really don't know how to review this place. It looks so cool on the outside but not much to see when you go inside. The outside area is ok but you're next to a busy road and hear the road noise. We sat outside because there was a loud trivia game going on inside and they recommended it. You can't order at the bar. They hand you a laminated menu and seat you and then you need to go inside and order from the iPad and enter your table number and email and phone. If you sit outside you have to come in to get your drinks when they call you. There is a 90 minute limit to stay here. My wife got the traditional Old Fashioned which was really good. My drink was a spicy gimlet and was overly sweet and not the least bit alcohol forward tasting. I'm sorry but this place is not for us. I expected a better vibe and experience and left disappointed. read more

It's been a while since I came. I like the drinks now. Good format. Order from the kiosk for no frills. This is definitely a good place to bring a group, bring your own food or delivery. No kids, period! I do miss sitting at the bar and socializing, but this works. John was here to manage the floor. Creative drinks. Pricing was fair. Check this place out with your partner or friends!! read more

For anyone with kids, this place is only kid friendly on Sundays. Any other day don't waste your time, they will turn you away even if they only have one table with two customers. It does not matter if it's father's day weekend either. That's their choice but it is a shame a place of business would do that. We enjoyed going to this place before having a child but being limited to just one day a week will likely cause us to not come. We only wanted one drink and wanted to buy a few bottles of their bourbon and vodka for some gifts. We even told the person we wanted to buy some bottles while we had a drink and it did not seem to matter. We probably would have made a 200 dollar purchase with us only being there for less than 30 minutes. I am disappointed but there are plenty of other places that are kid friendly everyday of the week. If you are open when our kids turn 21, maybe we will come back in 20 years. I hate to leave a completely negative comment, so I will say this, if you do decide to go here, the place is nice and drinks are decent. read more

Always a great visit! I love their gin and bourbon. Must try's. The bottled cocktails are all amazing! Definitely take some home. Every visit to NJ leads me back to Recklesstown. read more

First time going to this place- Cocktails were good, but took way too long to get drinks. Took almost 45 minutes to get them!! And in my opinion the drinks are a little bit overpriced.. If there is a large party there "party bus", I would recommend not even going in because they continue serve them before you or anyone else. read more

This place is a gem! They make all their cocktails with the best locally sourced ingredients and took their time to explain this process when we checked in. The current set up is to place your drink order at a kiosk (pay by card) and then the drinks are brought to your table by the bartenders when ready. It worked out great for us because you can drink at your own pace and when done there's no waiting on the bill. The decor is rustic / casual. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely make a reservation. The cocktails were all seasonal and well balanced. I can't wait to return when the weather is warmer to sit outside! Pro Tip: Bring your own food/snacks (it's allowed) as they only serve drinks (exception Food Truck Fridays). read more

A few friends had recommended the distillery as a fun place for outdoor hangouts. The farm did not disappoint. The drinks were very tasty with a generous pour, and the menu has some really unique recipes. Kari was our server- she was extremely knowledgeable, and provided excellent service. She explained that the fresh fruits and veggies used in the drinks are all grown on the farm. The outdoor setup was very nice - socially distant and nearly every set up had a fire. There are unique mixers and pre-made cocktails available for purchase in addition to all of the spirits. Great time all around. We will definitely be back. On Fridays they have different food trucks available to grab a snack. Outside food is welcome. read more

A group of us stopped here for a special event on a Sunday. It seems the owner of Recklesstown had purchased the Cooper River Distillery remaining barrels of distilled spirits when they shut down 3 years ago. As aging is complete, Reckless will be bottling and selling the rum, rye, bourbon etc. as Cooper River label until they are gone. Pretty cool. Anyhow... they had a few tasting sessions where you paid a fee and got to sample 5 varieties from Cooper River. There was a food truck and a band playing live music. Recklesstown main bar and shop are housed in a brand new barn like structure. There is an outdoor seating area with picnic tables and umbrellas. I am told they do food truck Fridays. Their cocktail menu is small but they served up some delicious ones. We particularly liked the Tractor Tiki which had rum and falernum. Interested in continuing to check this place out and try some of their own spirits, but this first trip was all about their Cooper River stuff. read more

Nice to be out... indoor and outdoor seating. You need to make reservations here or hope someone didn't show up. All outdoor seating has a nice gas fire pit which was toasty warm on this somewhat chilly night. Drink selection ruin is based off the distillery so only expect to get what they have for a few selected drinks, all of them worth it. If the liquor is something you like, but a bottle for the trip home. read more

I'm never not in a mood for a Old Fashioned and this place has a good one! Their other cocktails were pretty good, but I'm a Bourbon guy so this was my favorite. Nice place with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. You order using a kiosk and they bring it right out to you! And if you're hungry, they have some local menus so you can order something. read more

What a wonderful place! This was the 6th and final stop for our April 10/11, 2021 NJ Distillery Tour. You have to make a reservation for indoor or outdoor seating and you can bring your own food. The place is very beautiful and roomy! Outside would be fantastic on a pretty day. The spirits were delicious. They make a spicy one with habeneros and a chocolate one with mint that were very good. I had a drink called Lemongrass that was so delicious! We bought bottles to take home and they have drink kits which we also bought. We will definitely be back hopefully when there are less Covid-19 restrictions. read more

Went on Valentine's Day for our first visit to this distillery. I was concerned about some of the previous posts regarding pricing and the lack of attentiveness from the staff, but we had a wonderful time. The prices are comparable to other bars serving quality drinks. Also, I wonder why people complain about them when the menu for this location is online and one can see the prices before leaving their homes. The staff was great and very helpful in describing the quality of liquor and juices. I was able to get all my questions answered very quickly. Finally, we loved our drinks! Wife had the carrot punch. She first made a face when she saw the name, but just loved it. She had two of them. I first had the gimlet, made with vodka infused with jalapeño and it was incredible. I then had the hot toddy and it just wasn't as good as the other drinks. It lacked flavor and was served less than warm. We can't wait to go back and will not wait for a special occasion to do so next time! read more

Wanted to do something special to celebrate our anniversary and we've been wanting to give them a try! I had their Recklesstown Old Fashion and my wife had the special Blackberry Bramble - they were wonderful as was the atmosphere and staff... We'll be back soon! read more

The drinks are delicious but everytime i've gone the atmosphere has not been welcoming. you have to order your drinks off a kiosk which is very in-personable and i've felt no need to tip because i've had no interaction with the bartenders. the bartenders always look disinterested or are on their phones even while mixing drinks. i come to places like this for warm welcoming experiences to get to know the staff. this just isn't that place. read more

I really enjoyed my time at recklesstown farm distillery! The environment was very cute - we sat outside and it was great! The cocktails were delicious with an option for all drinkers. I will definitely be returning with friends in the near future. Everyone here was so friendly the overall experience was so positive! read more

Good drinks, comically slow service. I wish I could rate this place higher. The drinks I had, a gin and tonic and a blueberry mojito were very good. My party included two other people, both of whom were impressed with their drinks. The drinks weren't cheap, especially when you factor in the area, but you have to pay for quality. The service was slow. Slower than you could imagine. Slower that you would accept in a comedy movie about slow service. When I arrived, I got in a line, 5 parties deep, with an average of 3 people per party. There were 4 people behind the bar. I would expect a wait of a few minutes...the wait was 1/2 hour. I ordered two complex drinks and a gin and tonic. I get dunks drinks can take time, but it took the bar tender 4 minutes on the gin and tonic. She took seperate trips for the glass, the ice, the straw, the ice scoop, the gin, and the tonic. I have never seen anything like it. It was so bad, I couldn't enjoy drinks with my party. As soon as I got the drinks, I set them down and got right back in line. They enjoyed the drinks over the next half hour, while I waited in line again. We won't be back. It's a shame, growing and making the booze is a year long process, making drinks shouldn't be such a monumental undertaking. read more

This place is very nice. We came to celebrate my boyfriend's mom's birthday. As soon as you walk in, you can feel a super cool vibe. The industrial look the place has is a great welcome. The bar is farm looking and very clean. The drink menu is fun and offers a good variety for all tastes. I first had the mojito, which was very refreshing. I wanted something a little more festive, so I ordered the cranberry margarita(pictured here). They craft their own moonshine which was very tasteful. Definitely recommend this distillery and I am definitely coming back.!!!! read more

Recklesstown Farm Distillery - Moonshine and cranberry margarita - Distilleries Near Me - Columbus, New Jersey

The location is very nice. Easy to find. They do not offer any food or snacks so be sure to bring your own. The folks working are nice enough but definitely don't have a bartender vibe. Its more a production line of getting drinks out. They don't greet you or interact beyond dropping off drinks. The order system is a kiosk. There is no way to keep a tab running and I'm not sure how one would pay in cash either. The drinks range from 10 bucks for the most basic to over 15 for fancy. They taste good, just overpriced in my opinion. I had a dark and stormy. It was more stormy than dark cost 10 dollars. Hubs had a single bourbon which was ok, also 10. The seating is where it really was meh. If you have 4 people no problem. If you roll in with a bunch you sit at long tables like a cafeteria. Its hard to have an all encompassing conversation. The outside is nice and the bathrooms are few but clean and nice. Good parking. It was a one and done for us. It kind of reminded me of covid times with the lack of personal interaction. It could be a really nice place if it was more hospitable and the prices a bit more realistic for where you are and what you're getting. read more

Always a great time here! Owner was nice to talk to and made great drinks. Very personable and welcoming. Happy to go to a place that's 21+ and animal free! read more

What a lovely, fun evening on a Friday afternoon. The cocktails are AWESOME! We tried several: Watermelon, peach, dark and stormy, mule, etc. All were wonderful, we can't wait to go again. The food truck makes it fun, the Maui Lu Hawaiin food was good, the ribs were awesome but overpriced, as they were advertised as a platter for two but offered only two ribs. read more

It is a nice looking place and nice people working there. I had a watermelon mojito which wasn't very good. My friend had a strawberry daqhori which was nice and tasty. The main thing I didn't like was the wait time for a drink. It took about 30 minutes to get them which is unacceptable. They need to get that under control. When people get their drink make them get out of line to make room for the next person. read more

Great little place. The gimlet was nice and spicy. The mule had a great kick with a mellow finish. We will return.

First time here and very impressed!! fresh local herbs and ingredients used in their cocktails! Each cocktail on the menu sounds more delicious then the next. The vodka is very smooth. Great outside area very peaceful with an area for kids and or adults to play games (corn hole ect..).. I am definitely coming back to try more of the cocktails and see how they change with the seasons. Easy to get to and they have plenty of parking. read more

Not your standard Martini or Old Fashion. The farm to table has made it to the distillery. We are looking forward to what the next harvest brings.... sweet potatoes, chives, wheat... doesn't matter we'll be back. The precision of the bartender hand grating lemon rind or infusing the bitters with a dropper into the cranberry martinis. Something else - I want to watch the Tuesdays round table to determine what the drink selections will be. read more
