What a fun way to spend a Saturday night!
Had a Groupon for a tour and a tasting since they only offer 1 tour on Saturdays,we opted to skip the tour and go around 5pm just for the tastings since their live music started at 6pm. They also bring in a food truck on weekends in the afternoon.
Rachel did our tasting. We started with vodka,then gin,whiskey,bourbon and flavored vodkas. All were quite good and she explained how each one was processed. It was just enough for us to purchase a few bottles to bring home. If you join their Spirits Club you can get in store discounts. We loved the bourbon,coffee vodka and barrel aged gin.
We started with an old fashion and an old fashion ayer made with barrel aged gin and plum bitters. Cocktails cost about 10.00 each and are generous pours. We also tried a banana old fashion which was a little heavy on the maple syrup in my opinion.
If you are looking for an easy drive in the country and fantastic drinks and good people,this is the place to go. We will definitely go back!
Great place to stop for a drink! I had a coffee drink that was stupid delicious and I highly recommend it because judging it solely on the coffee quality it’s a 5/5, i could hardly tell that it had liquor in it! Staff is all super friendly and the owners are there a ton!
First time here. Atmosphere is really outstanding. Clean, modern with a big bar space. The drinks were really well put together and over we had a good time. Would definitely recommend this as an interesting place to visit in the Harvard area. Lastly we met Mark (one of the owners) and he was very friendly, welcoming and made the visit even nicer. Will be back again for sure.
I love Rush Creek! They have great drinks and even better service. Cal's Coffee Martini is my favorite.
Fun and informative! Tasty beverages are distilled on site, but they also have a bar that makes artistic use of final products. (Various flavored vodkas, Rye and Whiskey etc.) Bring your own food, pizza to enjoy. Occasional food trucks and local musicians. (Conversation difficult at this point) The staff is very friendly, and seem to know and greet the regulars while not making us newbies feel left out. Plenty of seating early, (5:00) but did get crowded later.
When there is live music it is played way too loud! Couldn’t talk, hear, or think. Only lasted about 20 minutes before we had to leave. There is limited accessible seating when it is busy. Otherwise it is a great place to play bring small board games to and have delicious cocktails. I love the botanical gin!
Love the atmosphere, the interior design is fantastic. Drink menu is large and features delicious cocktails. The tour was fun and very informative. Definitely a great date night!
Loved it here, awesome distillery with a wonderful atmosphere. The tables and chairs are all uniquely made by a local craftsman with a very modern industrial feel. The upstairs is a good place for meetings or parties.
The drinks are simple yet delicious. The bar staff was friendly and took pride in making the drinks.
I couldn’t recommend this place more!
