The Dampfwerk Distillery Cocktail Lounge

What a great place for a date night or drinks with friends! Stumbled upon it by chance, and was very impressed by the sleek decor, creative and delicious drink menu, and the friendly and talented staff. Total gem, will be visiting again.

Three years later… I still love it here! I have zero complaints!! All I got are praises! Live DJ, music, snacks, the staff, atmosphere.. Happy 4th Year!!

I had some cocktails here with a friend and it was awesome. They have a themed menu and it’s a fun little piece to order from. The team is very knowledgeable about what they have on the menu and guided me to a choice multiple times. I highly recommend this place for a night out!

If you haven't been... go. If you've been once... go again. It's different and better every time.

The cocktail lounge is cool, hip and funky without being pretentious. The team is knowledgeable, friendly, and beyond talented in their ability to match a cocktail to your particular tastes (e.g. "You know what I feel like?"...)

The cocktails? Visiting multiple times is a must so you can try each of the offerings on their menu (which changes periodically). Each offering on the menu is remarkably complex, layered, and accessible. Every cocktail begins with one or more of their spirits, all of which are crafted onsite in gleaming copper and stainless steel at the attached distillery. They are mixed in front of you with fresh juices, teas, and bitters (again, all made onsite).

I have been a regular, and I always have a little anxiety when the menu changes, and I have to say goodbye to old favorites. It usually takes no more than one or two visits to fall in love with the new, thematic offerings.

Take some time, soak-up the ambiance, chat with your bartender, nibble on a charcuterie board. Don't leave without buying a bottle to take with you. The whiskey is beyond compare and the gins (all three of them!) are sublime.

As the weather grows chilly, the German herbal liqueurs are perfect in front of the fire. I keep a stock of The Pfeffersack and Pfefferminz as thank yous and gifts for friends. For those special people, a bottle of Rabbit in the Rye (pour an ounce and breathe deeply - all is well).

Pro-tip, the bottles themselves are a work of art and make a great vase or a vessel for olive oil or home-made maple syrup.

So. If you're looking for a great first-date destination, or a refuge to treat yourself and let the stress melt off with a quick snack and a favorite craft-cocktail, this is the place. You will not find anything like it in the cities.

Why are you wasting your time reading this review. Enter the address in your google maps and jump in the car. If you see me at the bar, I'll buy you a pour.

Cocktails were top notch!! Very creative and delicious!!

Super “cool” ambiance… classy feel to the place and some very trendy lanterns on each table. Service could be a tad nicer, but nothing to get upset about. ☺️

They have a “please wait to be seated” policy.
