I was on vacation, and I visited this place for a family dinner. They have a good menu of cocktails and liquor. They do have a good menu of food. I enjoyed the cask strength whiskey flight, fig old fashioned, and plus Chicken Limecello. The dishes I had were so good! Their service wasn't too bad. I appreciate the waiter for keeping refilling my water because I drink a ton of water. However, there were some issues with not bringing the dishes on time. But the front manager was so nice and gave us free cherry old fashioned slushie because of the order issues. But overall, we all are happy and had a good time. read more

Union Hall at Journeyman Distillery was a true delight. My husband had the Trout and Brussels Sprouts which he really enjoyed and I had the Classic Cheeseburger. What made this standout was their pickles and house made ketchup. The service was great, the facility really interesting and fun, and the retained history really made it standout. Visit the shop for your choice of various liqueurs, whiskeys or other. read more

Jess and Jackson were amazing! They were both attentive and knowledgeable and made our experience great!

Great atmosphere and service. Our waitress was very sweet and although she forgot to put our order in she redeemed herself and comped us a delicious pistachio Lemoncello pie slice. Overall food was delicious and Chrystal, our waitress, was wonderful. Definitely would go back and recommend. read more

Great space and fantastic drinks. Stopped in yesterday for an early happy hour and was blown away with the selection of drinks ordered a light appetizer, which was delicious. Can't wait to go back. read more

Ambiance! Portion size was perfect! We will definitely be back! The space inside is great from the dining, store and areas to walk around outside. read more

Not our first trip, but first time taking pictures. Apps were good, service was slow and my main course was beyond messy. Never been blown away by the food in general, but for the price it's really hard to justify. read more

It's beautiful inside I have to say that. There is a ton of room and you never feel like you're crushed up against other people. Our server was wonderful. She was not on us all the time, but she was not away so long that we felt like we didn't have enough attention. We had the corn fritters and those were delicious but honestly, the rest of the food was pretty so so. My husband, son and I were not impressed with any of the food that we had. I had the whiskey flight and I only liked two of the whiskeys that I had. Plus I had zero desire to buy a bottle of anything. We really have no desire to go back and eat there. Who knows though - we may just change our minds and decide to go and give it another shot. It definitely has some merit. read more

Really have tried to like this restaurant... been a dozen times. It's overpriced and underwhelming. The smash burger is meh. The skirt steak is always over cooked. The limoncello chicken is devoid of flavor. The French onion soup is a mush type consistency. The booze is always good. I'll give them that , cocktails are a bit pricey as well. They are good but pricey. It's a lot of glitz and glamour that just doesn't perform. read more

This is the place for the best hot dog in the world. I had the Old World. The sour krout is fresh made and the bourbon mustard is amazing. The hot dog itself is the best. I may have no other reason to come back to Valparaiso, but this! read more

Dinner on New Year's Eve. Trout, of course. It was great. My wife enjoyed her O. C. G. Turkey Club as well. Service was excellent. Had to visit the gift shop afterwards. I took home a bottle of Last Feather Rye! It's New Year's Eve after all. read more

Been wanting to try this brewery! They opened in October 2023 and is very industrial atmosphere inside. The tables are preset when you walk in the door and looks nice. The menu has a nice variety of food and gin drink specials! Dessert coffee drink was ice coffee with eggnog- so good! Service was excellent and not too crowded. We will be back to try more! read more

We've been customers of Journeyman for many years. Our daughter actually got married at Journeyman in Three Oaks. Including the wedding, we have never been disappointed with the quality, food or service. Tonight was no different as we visited the Valparaiso location. The food and drinks were exceptional, and David the bartender offered top notch service. Thank you for the consistent quality and service! read more

Shout out to our waitress Laurel for providing awesome customer service for my party and I. Starting off the whole place is huge and very open, which I liked a lot. Despite having a lot of windows, the building was well insulated, and the temperature was satisfactory. The atmosphere was great. They have the tables spaced out just the right amount to where you can enjoy conversation ls at your table without over hearing another's. The volume and choice of music were perfect as well. Let's get to the food! We started off with the beer biscuits that came with a featherbone pawpaw jam and honey butter. The biscuits themselves were small but cooked well and had a great toasted crust on them. By themselves, they were okay, tasted like a very strong pizza crust imo. With the jam, it added a nice apple cinnamon sweetness with a kick. I personally enjoyed them the most with just the honey butter On to the mains I opted for the smash burger with everything on it and fries. The smash burger comes with a triple pepper seasoned beef patty, American cheese, lettuce, caramelized onions, gin pickles(I forgot I don't like pickles), and roasted garlic aoli It was a great burger, and you can not go wrong in getting it. My fries were unfortunately on the colder side, but they were seasoned nicely, and the ketchup was freshly made in house, and you could definitely tell. I think the main star of tonight was the B.T.B sandwich, which is turkey schnitzel, lettuce, tomato, onion, and cranberry mustard aoli. If that sounds good to you, I promise you it tastes even better than you're thinking. It was crunchy, juicy, seasoned with love, flavorful, delicious, scrumptious, and I could go on. Honorable mentions: The Cinnamon raisin grilled cheese, made an appearance, and I was told it left the customer speechless. Drinks: The Purple Rain was very enjoyable by my table, and they loved the color changing effect. I enjoyed my O.C.G, If you wanted a stronger flavored angry orchard, this will definitely suit your tastes. Overall, the experience was outstanding. All the meals will be posted in the post, along with some sneak peaks of the rest of the facility. Can't wait to see what else they do with the place! read more

Grace was an amazing server!! She is so sweet and attentive- she makes the whole experience. We will surely be back

Excellent food- had the grilled chicken sandwich!! The French fries were delicious- I need those fries in my life!! The drinks- Delicious! I had the grasshopper:) The waiter- James- exceptional!!! He was very knowledgeable about the food and drinks. He was efficient and attentive!! Give him a raise!!:) I will definitely be going back soon !:) read more

Very good food. Everything was prepared well and the atmosphere was top notch. I took off a star for service. After receiving our food the cups went dry for lack of service. Having said that everything else was great. Will definitely be back read more

An aesthetically pleasing experience. You start with a journey through all the native plants to get to the entrance and arrive in cafeteria-esque dining hall. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Khristian, our server, went above and beyond to get coffee beans so I could reset between whisky in the flight, and was a delight to chat with. Excellent food, whisky, and non-alcoholic choices for drinks. The ginger beer is totally worth the $. read more

Great food and good service but I wish they had a better wine selection! Also, they always bring the salad with the meal which doesn't help when I'm hangry :) read more

The food/service was very good. I liked the renovated factory as a location. It seemed a little loud at first but I became accustomed to it quickly. Overall things were above average especially since Journeyman in Valpo has not been open long. read more

The place looks great, the inside looks cool, and even the bathrooms look great. However, I went to look at the menu and realized there is pretty much no Gluten Free foods. There were few foods that were GF. Yet, I didn't really like any of the food but the chicken. And personally, that's just my opinion, but I couldn't try anything else because I can't eat gluten. Anyway, the service was good, and I really would recommend this to others. But I don't think I'm going to come back soon, there just isn't enough on the options for me to eat. But I think others would love this place! read more

The Journeyman offered such good food, cocktails and our server Rachel added to our wonderful experience.

Food is awesome, drinks are creative and delicious too! They did a great job with the building and left a lot of cool original features.

We have been here a few times before. My wife saw that they have a perch special on Monday's and wanted to go for it.. the fish was dried out and very small pieces. It was not worth the $25 at all. I had something different and it wasn't bad. That's why I'm giving it two stars rather than one for the fish.. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while, glad we did! We had a reservation and were seated relatively promptly, considering it was a full house and everyone was clearly enjoying themselves and not in a hurry to leave. I don't blame anyone for lingering, there's so many drinks to try and a great, open atmosphere. Our server, Josh, was attentive, helpful and personable. I had the Indiana Buck mocktail to drink and my husband had a night cap cocktail, both were delicious. We had the corn fritters appetizer, they were so good! For dinner, my husband had the crispy pork confit and I had the meatloaf. Aaaaand here's why they don't get 5 stars: The food was unattractive with portions that were disappointingly small in contrast to the large plate the food came out on. For the price, I expected the food to look more appealing. I'm very aware meat loaf is not the most attractive meal on the planet, but it could easily be garnished with a little something other than 2 onion rings in the same color palette as the rest of the food...brown. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they ran out of whatever they use to garnish it. My husbands plate looked okay but still not exactly appetizing. **I cannot stress enough... the food was very good despite its appearance. Also worth noting: We saw several schnitzel and smash burger sandwiches coming out of the kitchen. Those portions were more aligned with price/appearance. We noted that for the next time we visit.** For dessert, we had the grasshopper brownie sundae. And let's face it, if you put Valpo Velvet ice cream on anything, it's gonna be delicious. I laughed to myself at the size of the brownie because it was much larger than I expected after seeing the portions of our dinners (absolutely a shareable dessert). Appreciated that the brownie was garnished with a mint leaf. Overall, a great experience (thanks largely in part to Josh). We will gladly come back. read more

Oh man, where to begin. I realize the place is new and there may be some kinks to work out for sure, but the amount of flaws we had happen in our experience today was not the best. Let's start with atmosphere! The place is beautiful and super unique. Really cool vibe all around. Service was really good at first. We sat down and were greeted and poured water promptly. We were the only table in at the time and then 3 more tables came in. There looked to be around 3-4 servers so none were like overwhelmed with a ton of tables. That being said, we had to ask for water refills 3 times before our waitress finally refilled our glasses. She was not attentive at all. Our food experience was not good. I ordered the meatloaf, my husband got the smashburger and our 2 sons each got the chicken fingers and fries. Our food was sent to the wrong table when it came out and another patron touched my husbands burger bun when it was set down in front of her so they had to remake it in order to bring it to my husband (which I do appreciate them doing) in the meantime we were given our food and when my meatloaf was set down, I knew something was off. It for lack of better words, looked like cat food. I cut it down the middle and tried a bite and it was ice cold, not cool, absolutely ice cold. I then had to wait for our waitress to finally look at our table for me to tell her that I couldn't eat it. So she took my plate. My husbands burger finally came out and his was ok. It was nothing spectacular. So 20 minutes goes by, my family is done eating their meals and my meatloaf comes out. I will say the freshly cooked meatloaf was much better but again, not worth the $21 or the wait. The manager was the one that brought it to me and he said "we will take care of that for you, you won't be charged" So we get the bill. There is an appetizer on it that we didn't order and my meatloaf is on it. We then had to wait another 10 minutes for the waitress to bring back the corrected bill. And again, I could understand if they were super busy but she only had 2 tables! The other table she had also had issues and had to send back cocktails and cancel cocktails because the amount of time it was taking for the bar to make them. Cool place but they really need to work out these kinks because it's not worth the money as it is right now. read more

We went with a party of eight people. The hostess stand is not readily marked. It can be a little difficult to find depending on which door you enter. It has been only open a few weeks and they are working out the bugs. The appetizers came before the drinks. We got a few appetizers: the hummus and vegetables and the cheese dip. The vegetables on the hummus tray were not good. The cauliflower had black spots on the crowns and the carrots were 1" square and 6" long. The cheese dip had bread triangles that were pretty chewy and no flavor. The main courses were pretty good. I had to remind our server to take my drink and meal orders other wise I would have not gotten anything. They are working on getting it right. We have high hopes for the place. We will try again in a few weeks. read more

Great ambiance and food. There were 3 dining spaces in the restaurant. At 4:30 pm they were all full. Make reservations. FYI, the hostess stand is on the south side of the restaurant while most people are entering from the north. Food was delicious and came out in a decent amount of time considering there was a packed house. Our waitress apologized several times for delayed drinks, but it didn't bother us. We are Journeyman fans and enjoyed the time to soak in the new "kid". Make sure to visit the gift shop, but be warned they don't have everything in stock that you typically find at Three Oaks. read more

Good food, ok service, the atmosphere is pretty plain. I was pretty disappointed that a place with this name gives no union discounts as I actually am a union journeyman. read more

Seated promptly at a table. Waiting for our friends, our server filled our water glasses. When our friends arrived our server took drink orders and returned to take our orders. I ordered the meat loaf and mashed potatoes. It was excellent. Hub's smashburger was good. Served with way too many fries! Our server kept our drinks refreshed and cleared our plates without being overly intrusive. Overall a good experience but a bit pricey. read more

We had the Sunday brunch menu items. My biscuits and gravy with chicken was just OK. My husband's prime rib bowl was unacceptable. It had no taste at all. He ate two bites and decided not to eat any more. Fortunately the manager and waitress were very apologetic and removed his food from the bill. They offered to serve him something else but he declined the offer and ate a bit of my food.We will give this place another try but with so many great restaurants in Valparaiso that will be it. The waitress and the manager were very good. Now if they can get the food to match that would be a win. read more

Food & service was great. Ambiance was amazing! Cool gift shop & staff said more is coming! Highly recommend.

We've been to the one in Three Oaks and decided to give this a go. The server was friendly and did her job well. Didn't really care for the menu selection. Ordered the house salad and felt it was too much money for the size of the salad. Ordered the Butternut Squash soup and it tasted good but soup wasn't hot. For entrees we ordered the Mussels and the 1/2 Chicken. Mussels we're good portion but the sauce didn't have a lot of flavor and the broth was bitter. Also thought it needed more bread for the broth. The chicken was moist and nice size. However the outside wasn't cooked enough and wasn't crispy. It was like eating into rubbery chicken skin. The sauce that came with the chicken was good. It seems they had a problem serving hot food for some reason. For us it was just nothing really special especially for the price. We can eat elsewhere in Valparaiso downtown for less money and better quality. Hopefully it was just a bad day but we didn't really get the menu. With how good their distillery is we expected the food to be just as good. read more

Great food and great service at the beautiful bar. I would return. The atmosphere of the whole restaurant was wonderful and very interesting to look around. While waiting for your food which was not very long. Lots of parking spots. read more

Went there for the first time tonight and we really enjoyed it. We had the meatloaf and salmon and both were excellent. The drinks were good and we tried several. Barrel aged Manhattans were very good. My sister-in-law had the old fashion and it was good. The service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. We will definitely go again. Great for larger groups and it is spread out so you are not sitting on top of everyone. Great place and a great add to Valpo. read more

Out in the middle of nowhere, hard to find. Very limited parking in street. Very few customers. Food and drinks overpriced, wine choice was white blend or red blend also high priced. Strange menu. Big bar with 5 bartenders. read more

Such a great atmosphere! The food is wonderful. Try one of the signature cocktails with one of the Journeyman's famous spirits
