If you're like me, and beer isn't your thing and you're more of a spirits person... THIS is the place to go... matter of fact, it's the ONLY place to go . Coming from down state, I wanted to find a distillery to satisfy my whiskey craving, and I was fairly disappointed to only find one... The Honorable Distillery. That disappointment quickly went away when me and my parents, and my two Jack Russell dogs walked into this BEAUTIFUL establishment.
As you can see from the pictures, it's a fairly big area with a fantastic view of there distilling equipment (which is a really cool thing for the nerd in me). It's dog friendly INSIDE and features tables outside as well. My only complaint would be that it's mostly high tops inside and out, which doesn't make it very wheelchair accessible. But you don't think much about that after the drinks .
I had two drinks while I was there, the classic old fashion and the espresso martini. Nothing too special about them, just very quality drinks that went down easy and tasted great. The distillery sits right in the social district of Marquette, which means you can drink on the street and visit other restaurants with outside food and drink, which is super nice because this place doesn't have food, which I don't see as a bad thing.
To me, not having food allows them to focus more on drinks, service, and knowledge of there product... all those boxes were checked. Cocktails - fantastic, service - amazing (I'm sorry to the bartender, I didn't ask for your name, but you were amazing), and beautiful bottles they sell in house. Another interesting tid-bit the bartender told us, is the owner LOVES dogs, and if they sold food, they couldn't be dog friendly.
All in all, The Honorable Distillery was an amazing stop. Fantastic drinks, service, and again... dogs . They JUST need some more low tops for accessibility. Oh, and by the way... at the time of this review, they've only been open less than a year (since August of 2022). They're going places! read more
