The bar!  It's great.
Wink B.

Our first stop here. We loved it. Wanted to make a stop here just to see and taste the offerings. We had a blast. Cathy took such excellent care of us too. The tasting was great. Shine Girl has a nice variety of exceptional shine flavors plus their take on Rum and Vodka. Nothing but great atmosphere and flavors. We also tried some of their signature cocktails: the Shine-a-Rita - Cathy's way; the Stubborn Mule and the New Fashioned! Loved them all! Of course we left with some bottles and merch, because we could! The vibe and hospitality here is off-the-hook. Do stop in if you're in town. We'll be back when we come this way again in the summer!

Off the beaten path with unique moonshine flavors that you won't find anywhere else. Their cocktails are reasonably priced and tasty. The bartender is friendly and helpful if you're undecided. The place itself is pristine and charming.

I wasn't impressed too much. I expected moonshine and it was all different vodkas. The bar drinks were good and very friendly service but just not a fan of vodka. The stars are for the service and the bar not the alcohol.

Great little find! Such a gorgeous, well thought out space. Absolutely LOVE the pink! We walked in and were greeted by the nicest people! We were offered a free moonshine tasting... who can say no to free?! Of course we couldn't! We were given so many flavors! Can I remember how many?! I blame the moonshine, but it was about 9 flavors. The coconut and red velvet moonshine flavors were my favorite! Not only can you try the flavors straight up, you can order cocktails. We ordered cocktails post samples and they were fabulous!! Everything was way too cute, so had to shop it up! Got a few shirts, coffee mug, and moonshine. Winning!!

Lovely spin on moonshine flavors that aren't similar to the other distilleries. Purchased a few bottles so friends back home can sample and hopefully visit when they go to Tennessee.

The best two favors IMO

Such a hidden gem in the Smoky Mountain area with a great story! I love the concept of "girly moonshine" and that concept carried through to the space! The flavors are unique and exciting. The sampling is free and the moonshine is smooth and delicious. You can also get cocktails while there.

The moonshine was awesome and they were not trying to charge you a high price like everyone else does.

The food was EXCELLENT! The service was horrible. The bartender was very busy and someone came to…read morelend her a hand. I had ordered To-Go food. I asked this lady if my food was ready. She said no but she never checked. I saw two carry out trays sitting on top of the shelf where the kitchen staff places the food orders. Finally I walked over and had someone checked if that was my food and it was. It had been sitting there for ten minutes. I told the woman that was supposed to have checked if it was ready and her reply was "OH WELL" I had written a tip for 20% so walked over to my check and lowered it to 1%. It is a shame that they employ people with such attitudes.

We stopped in here on our recent trip to the area as it has an outdoor dog friendly patio option…read moreand we were traveling with our Frenchie. It took a bit for our server to come acknowledge us but once he did, he was very helpful and attentive. My boyfriend ordered a peach Kentucky mule (they originally said they couldn't make that, which we questioned with it being a distillery, but our server came back and said they could after all). He enjoyed it and said it's one of the better ones he's had! We both ordered smash burgers and sweet potato fries - I had the junction 35 (pimento cheese + bacon jam) and he had the farmhouse (bacon + fried egg). Both were amazing! Juicy burgers, perfect size patties for smash burgers, the buns were fresh and held up nicely, and the toppings were great. Sweet potato fries had a great crunch and were seasoned really well. Service was great, food was high quality and had great flavor, and the dog friendly patio was perfect for our pup. It's located in a nice little strip of shops and restaurants, and has a common area of cornhole and other games that would be fun for an activity before/after dinner, or if you have kids in tow. We'd definitely make another trip here when in the area.

Super fun! We got a perfect parking spot right next door and walked up to the tasting where Bryan…read morewas ready to help us! We got to try 8 different flavors of moonshine. My favorite was pumpkin roll, and my husband's was raspberry. We each bought a bottle to take home! Cheers!

For all of you sweet alcohol drinkers out there: Old Forge Distillery's got you. This is the place…read moreto get the hard stuff that also tastes like an oatmeal cookie or watermelon taffy or a pumpkin roll. When you want to get drunk, but you also need your drink to look electric blue and taste like raspberry, you come here. I'm not the biggest fan of sweet drinks in general, and especially not sweet alcohol. But I wasn't about to pass up an opportunity to taste some of Old Forge Distillery's moonshine and gin. They also make vodka, whiskey and rum. The gin was good! It doesn't taste like traditional gin, because they age it in bourbon barrels, so it has a little bit of a caramel taste to it. (In my opinion.) The moonshine and the cream liqueurs are where you will find the crazy flavors. I think my favorite was the coffee moonshine, which tastes like a wonderfully spiked black coffee. Samples are plentiful. The bartender told us which ones were crowd favorites, and also recommended some that I would not have picked myself. They also have a huge gift shop with lots of tchotchkes, plus bottles of their goods to take home with you.
