What is going on with this place lately? It used to be a distillery where I came frequently to relax and enjoy a somewhat sophisticated atmosphere with friends but lately it has gone downhill. I recently joined a large group of colleagues for an end of the year celebration and we talked to the owner ahead of time to setup the event. We put in a request for a specific bar tender to facilitate the event as we have previously had several rude and dissatisfying encounters with a certain bartender who claims to be the bar manager and we wanted to avoid a bad experience. We initially considered going somewhere else to avoid this bartender but ultimately decided to give Sugar field another chance as we have held events here in the past and the owner is usually very accommodating, but that was a mistake. The bar manager worked our event and was extremely rude. She dressed provocatively as she typically does. She even wears open toe sandals and shorts with her butt hanging out. She made several drink wrong and was argumentative when asking her to remake the drinks. She stated, "how can they be wrong if I'm the only one who creates drinks here." She over charged my coworkers, she made ugly faces at us, and had a very unpleasant attitude the entire time. I even heard her tell a customer, "shut the fuck up" unwarranted and unprovoked. This is something I have witnessed during other visits along with bad mouthing other frequent customers and employees including the owners. Sadly, she seems to be there all the time now. The quality of experience has dwindled and is not worth the cost. read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon and had a really nice time. The owner went out of his way to answer all of our questions. He was extremely kind and helpful. The atmosphere was very relaxing and welcoming. Several customers brought their pets and the bartender even provided water for the animals. A great place to relax and unwind. Seating was available both inside as well as on the outdoor patio. Parking was available and attached to the building. Area was very safe and comfortable. The customers were very polite as well. Highly recommend. read more

I've ventured out to Sugarfield Spirits a few times, and each time has been a delight. First off, their liquors are very flavorful, smooth, and will please your pallet whether you are drinking them straight or enjoying one of their tasty cocktails. There are two buildings - one for spirits and the other for wine/mead and beer. Staff is super friendly and helpful at each stop, and they are always willing to talk about their products as well as other important topics related to the making and distribution of their products. They also tend to know just what sort of drink would make you the happiest, and they are happy to alter whatever you want to make it more flavorful. Great service, great product, and great customers to enjoy a chat with. Sugarfield keeps me coming back for more. read more

Let me tell you about the hidden gem that is Sugarfield Spirits in the Gonzales area. This place has been delighting locals for nearly four years and is an absolute must-visit spot if you're in the surrounding area. Even if you're from Baton Rouge, it's definitely worth the drive! I have to start by raving about their superb old fashion cocktail. It has instantly become my new favorite, and I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates a well-crafted drink. During my visit, Andrew was working, and is incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and even took the time to give me a quick tour of the brewery. It was evident that he is passionate about what they do. One of the unique aspects of Sugarfield Spirits is that they make their own spirits - it's in the name. If you're looking for something different, they even have a purple vodka that will surely impress your friends when mixing drinks at home. It's always exciting to try something new and locally crafted. The tap room itself is wonderfully designed, featuring old cypress and tall ceilings. Despite its size, it still manages to maintain a comfortable and cozy atmosphere without being overly loud. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy your drink. What truly sets Sugarfield Spirits apart is its commitment to supporting the local community. By visiting this establishment, you're not only treating yourself to exceptional craft drinks, but you're also contributing to the growth and success of the local community. Thank you, Sugarfield Spirits, for providing such a wonderful experience and delicious drinks. You've truly become my go-to spot, and I can't wait to visit again soon. read more

Hands down the best distillery in Louisiana, perhaps the Gulf South! A true family business, sourcing local ingredients to produce a wide variety of spirits, ciders, and other beverages. They have products for just about any palate. I have always gravitated to bourbons and ryes. Sugarfield opened by tastes to aged rums and gin, and now I have a new appreciation for these spirits. Some of their aged rums have notes and complexities that would rival the best bourbons! read more

I've seen this place on a foodie page I follow and it's not far from my home so I finally got around to trying it out. The staff we encountered tonight were the nicest people and they made some great drinks. This is a great place to kickback and have a drink with some friends or for a date night. It looks like they have food trucks or some nights but other nights they do not have food. I forgot to ask if you could bring something to munch on but I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem but I will ask next time. The drink selection has a nice option of rum, vodka, Bourbon, and gin. My hubs is a bourbon fan and I'm a rum fan so it was nice to find a place that has options for both of us. They do offer a tour of their facility and they are very knowledgeable in their craft and don't mind answering any questions. This place is very nice and I highly recommend checking it out. read more

We found Sugarfield Spirits through Harvest Hosts. We parked our RV overnight on their property and enjoyed a fantastic fun evening trying their rum! I had the peach daiquiri and my partner had the old fashioned. We also shared a dark and stormy and tried the mint rum. All the drinks were delicious and strong (haha)! We had a great night chatting with Jessica and her husband Cliff, they were super friendly and a delightful couple! Definitely a great little gem in the area, we are glad we found it! When we drive cross country again we will definitely stop by for another night and drinks. Thanks for making our night fantastic :) read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now but just haven't made the time. Really regret not coming by sooner! Punched the address in GPS and I was so surprised at how hidden yet centrally located this place is. Both the outside and the inside of the building have great style and ambience. I love that they are an actual functioning distillery and also grow their own herbs out front. Thomas was a fantastic bartender. There to answer questions give suggestions and chit chat. They are dog friendly which I love and even gave us a Cockertail (chicken stock) which was a hit. We tried the old fashioned, riff on manhattan. Gonzales mule and eggnog and loved every drink. Will return and soon, also excited to hear they are opening a brewery and winery right across the street. I will say there were no food options but they are okay with you bringing in your own sn read more

I love this place and my friends love this place. Allie whose the bartender is super friendly and excellent at what she does. They do a book club which is refreshing too. One building is cocktails and the other is beer and wine. Both sides are wonderful. You can buy a whole bottle of wine and get a tour. We have so much fun when we go. It's a little bit expensive on the liquor side when ordering a few drinks but it's worth it read more

Disclaimer: I don't work for Sugarfields but I do know these guys. Spirits: bourbon, rum, vodka. If you go to the store and pick your favorite bottle it should taste exactly the same if you get it in Louisiana or Florida. That's because it's mass produced and they do quite a bit to make sure that #7 is the same year after year. Nothing wrong with it. The motto "it's what you like to drink and how you like to drink it" applies. You won't find mass produced liquor at Sugarfields. What you will find is hand made craft spirits. When they say "locally sourced" ingredients they mean it. Ask them where the peaches, strawberries, sugarcane and honey they use in their spirits come from. They go directly to the farmers and sometimes harvest themselves. I've seen them hand cut sugarcane. Ask them how many bee stings they've taken to get the highest quality, freshest ingredients that go into their spirits. The proof of their work is in the spirits themselves. The only way for you to believe is to go and taste yourself. If you are an avid bourbon drinker the terms, single barrel, cask strength are familiar give this local drink a try. If you are an occasional bourbon drinker and want to experience something a couple steps above, here is your chance. Want to improve your tailgate? Here you go. Pour your uncle Bob a glass and see. They have a selection of rum, vodka and liqueurs. Check them out. read more

I was driving to another place to tour and noticed the sign near exit 179 on I-10 for this distillery and that they do tours. I stopped by before noon on a Saturday, and they weren't open yet, so I headed over to the place I was intending to visit. I stopped by on my way home. One of the two bartenders seemed dubious about a tour, and I am not sure why, but she went back and told the owner who said he wanted to finish the food his wife brought for him and that he would do it when he finished. I waited about 20 minutes, bought a piece of art, started talking to the bartender that remained about the alcohol they distilled here. Evidently, they use all locally sourced ingredients to make the alcohol. The bartender who had told me the owner would do the tour left. It was one bartender and one customer at the bar drinking. The owner came out, introduced himself to me, shook my hand and then focused on the guy at the bar. The bartender told him it was me who wanted the tour and he looked at me with very glassy eyes asking why I wanted the tour. He did take me back, started at one of the machines, then started talking about the bridges and how every bridge was at a certain height to allow for ships built for the open waters to come up, a rant about a bridge that goes nowhere and how one bridge in Baton Rouge was built too low to allow passage. It was all very weird. He then points out all of the steps in the process of distilling, and the many barrels they had of product that had been produced during the pandemic. I asked to take a picture of my gnome with the barrels, and he got excited and wanted to show me this guy who makes tiki glasses. This whole thing was just odd. I ended up not purchasing anything other than the art. Hearing the bartender talk, evidently, they do pretty good business. read more

These guys are passionate about what they do. We did a tasting with one of the owners, Andrew, and had an incredible experience. He tailored the tasting based on what we like and even gave us a few rare pours. We also took a tour and had a smoked gin old fashioned (AMAZING). Glencairn glasses are included with the tasting, and they are the perfect glasses for opening up your favorite bourbon. We walked away with a special release bourbon, gin, and merry lemon liqueur as our purchases. We'll be back. With friends. Well worth the trip from the Northshore. read more
