Went on a distillery tour earlier this month with a group of friends. The guide was extremely knowledgable and walked us through the distilling process and the company's history. There's a tasting after but you can also grab a drink to take on the tour - I tried the Spicy Builders Margarita which was actually made with gin and quite tasty. Overall, it was a fun way to spend a few hours with friends, and I'd recommend it if you're looking for something low-key to do.

I'd read about this distillery and was impressed by the woman-owned aspect. The experience exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredibly good-natured. Friendly, helpful and proud of their place! We came with a group and everyone got something different. There were just a few snack options- keep that in mind if you're not a big drinker. I had the queen B and it was delicious! I moved on to the pink fizzy and it was also very refreshing. My date got a margarita- great, not too sweet! We'll be back for a tour sometime - and look forward to trying their other drinks. There is also a small retail space with bottles to go, shirts, etc.

We came here with another couple for a distillery tour to celebrate my husband's and our friend's birthdays. Before the tour, we ordered a few cocktails to take with us. The staff were all very friendly. The tour was interesting and the tour guide was knowledgeable. He answered every question we had. After the tour, we were given several generous tastings of their whiskey, vodka, and gin. I am not a big whiskey drinker, so I only tried a sip of the vodka and gin. My husband enjoyed all of the tastings. This is a fun place to go for a night out with friends or a date night!

Stopped here Saturday evening with some out of town friends while we bar hopped around the great little suburb of North Kansas City; or as it so wants to be referred to - River North. Restless Spirits is a great vibe with a loose yet sophisticated Irish air and really great people behind the bar. The four of us each had 2 drinks and sampled 5 different cocktails. I stuck with two whiskey "forward" drinks (thanks for building my vocabulary) A potent Old Fashioned; made from their Gullytown single malt and then a Stone Sour using their Stone Breaker blended American/Irish whiskey with citrus. Both delicious although next time I would reverse the order in which I consumed them. I'm eager to return for the tour sometime soon and learn more about their story and products and hopefully some new terminology to use in Yelp reviews moving "forward". A great place to start any NKC- sorry...River North cocktail crawl in an area that has many great options.

Stopped by restless spirits for some cocktails on a Saturday afternoon. The service was attentive and kind and answered all of our questions. I got the queen bee and old fashioned. Both were strong and tasty. I would definitely go back for another round!

We learned about Restless Spirits while attending Gin World in St. Louis. On a weekend trip to KC, we knew we had to check out their distillery. We arrived on a Saturday evening for a tour and tasting. While we waited, we grabbed a cocktail and browsed the merchandise. The distillery is small and the tour is relatively quick, but informative. We were able to taste their products and were educated on the differences. I was never a gin drinker in the past, but they make a gin for people like me. It's delicious and we brought a bottle home. They're worth the stop!

We didn't have time for their tour, but I loved their space, their outside artwork and their story!! We did a tasting for $5 and spent some time talking to the owner. I think these guys are going to be around for awhile and continue to do great things. Please go give them a try!!!

I can't believe Restless Spirits has been in almost in by back yard all this time and didn't get here until today. I'd enjoyed their Stonebreaker whiskey, so I was excited to take a tour and taste everything. Jesse gave us a tour, explaining the distilling process and what makes Irish whiskey Irish, and even letting us climb up and look at fermenting mash. Then she served up their five spirits and told us about the business, including the fact that Benay is the only woman distiller in the state of Missouri and one of only six in the country! I liked everything, but what surprised me most was the vodka. I'm not a vodka drinker because I always thought it tasted like straight alcohol. Theirs, though, has a just a hint of sweetness and a smooth enough mouth feel that I could actually drink it neat. My favorite, though, is the gin. The balance of the juniper and other botanicals (she gave us a sniff of them out in the distillery room, and I'd love to use is for potpourri) is absolutely beautiful! I have two bottles of other stuff at home I'll mix in tonic, but the Builders is just going on ice. The space is big and open, with some high top tables, seats at the bar, and a couple of sofas comfy enough to hang for awhile. It's getting hard to make time for all the watering holes opening up in NKC, but don't miss this one!

What a wonderful appreciation for well crafted cocktails to complement their distilled liquors. Kelsey and Allen immediately exemplified their ability to "show the best" of this distilleries offerings (see attached). Upon entering the showroom, Jake made me feel welcome and explained the process. Rana continued to drop the knowledge of the craft presented at this cozy NKC gem.

A friendly, family owned young distillery with a great and varied line-up of distilled & sourced blends, and accompanying spirits. My brother & I came in and did the full tasting. Everyone there was kind, informative, and good for conversation, as we went through the Whiskey, gin, vodka, and moonshine they had. The tasting was super affordable, and each drink had it's own bragging rights. My palette trends away from Irish Whiskey, but I enjoyed most of the Irish-styled & blended tasters they had. For being their youngest (and most affordable), the Erin was very easy-to-drink - would make a great daily sip - probably my second favorite, after the GullyTown, which started with notes of maple & cherry and went from there, with a really interesting experiment of tastes. A near desert whiskey, but without being saccharine or candy coated. It felt balanced and kept you searching for flavors in the aftertaste. Worth adding, the gin was a shocking mix of black pepper & anise, and a nice surprise in how much I liked it. Like a peppery sambuca, but with a gin's lightness in consistency. The 15yr whiskey was the kind of Irish profile I typically shy away from, but it did leave nice after-notes of vanilla & marshmallow for me. They also offer water and snacks, but it's walkable from a great restaurant, which is a blessing, because you'll likely want more of the whiskey & conversation once you're done with the tasting, and will need some respite (and grub) once you're through. Great for a groups or for a couples tasting, and the distillery is open for tours. Recommended!
