My boyfriend and I came here for a tasting of the Gin and we were so impressed. The service was amazing, the tasting was well produced, informative and interesting. The gins are of high quality and taste amazing. I also had a bloody marry that was delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good afternoon spot to enjoy great ambiance and spirits! You won’t regret it.

thanks for the whiskey and gin experience! stopped by for some food after a day of exploring some of the south west. The Whiskey Business pizza and spiced squid were delicious. Friendly and welcoming team at the bar made it an enjoyable experience

We’d been here a few times and also had great experience with the food, service and quality of whiskey. Though not sure we like our experience today. Met a waitress we never met before and wasn’t given a good vibe. Having been around many places, you do know when you were being snubbed with service less than genuine. All customers need to be treated equally regardless their backgrounds or how they were dressed. I would like to however acknowledge the great service offered by the two young Chix with our tasting glass and purchase.

Would recommend a visit if you enjoy whisky and gin. Great range of whisky, you had the option of heavily peated whiskies too. I do like that you can get little 100ml bottles of their main range, which makes awesome gifts, as well as something small to take home. Ordered a pizza to share, thin crust base margarita pizza. Not too bad! Decent amount of parking available. There’s indoor and outdoor seating as well.

We did a sample of the gin and whiskey. They are both interesting and worth trying. The whiskey costs a lot more than the gin. You get five gins for $15 and four whiskeys for $20.
