  • Linda L 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Some Different Stuff and Some Good Versions of the Traditional. A ways outside the French Quarter but worth the trip. Kyle gave us the tour and was very knowledgeable about the history of the distillery and the distilling process. They distill some good versions of the usual - vodka, bourbon, rye, etc. but have a few that are a bit out of the ordinary, and REALLY good!! I especially liked the Sweet Potato Vodka - smooth and enjoyable. Their Trinity - a tribute to all N.O. recipes - is distilled with onion, celery, and bell pepper and makes THE best bloody Mary . Maggie, at the bar, makes a great cocktail. I suggest taking your own vehicle or use one of the ride shares available. We had difficulty getting back using one of the taxi companies - it's a bit far out of the French Quarter. They'll get you there but take way too much time to come and take you back - 6 calls and a LONG wait. Read more Written December 13, 2022

I highly recommend you take this tour. Read more Written April 11, 2021
  • JASON S 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Nothing exciting Ate here last night for dinner, it was decent. Nice place to look at but the food wasn't really what I expected for the price. Got the boudin egg rolls, and we only got three small eggrolls that had no flavor. Imagine a wonton filled with rice.plain old rice.. honestly I don't even know if there was boudin in them. Being my first trip to NOLA I wanted some real boudin, lesson learned that wasn't the way to go. The burger was decent , although I have had better in plenty of other places..I will say the service for the size group we had was pretty good, kudos for that. Read more Written August 24, 2019

  • fossilman2 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Wonderful place to unwind and relax. Just four blocks south of Magazine St. the NOLA distillery has a quiet atmosphere with friendly staff and customers. Kaitlin (the best bar tender ever) will expertly mix you any of 100+ vodka drinks. Their Bloody Mary, with homemade pepper vodka, is the very best. Read more Written March 2, 2019
