About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
Classic skirt steak, but finished with an espresso rub. A chocolate brownie just like mom used to make, but with a splash of whiskey in the batter. In our kitchen, you’ll find old favorites made new with creative entrees and fresh cocktails. Join us for dinner in our beautiful dining room or in our lively bar area. Of course, we also have an amazing brunch menu every weekend from 11-4 PM, complete with your favorite breakfast drinks and some surprises; try a mimosa flight with your pancakes!

Sip our thoughtfully curated collection of wines or have a handcrafted cocktail made with fresh ingredients and built with love. We're obsessed with gin and proudly feature a full menu of gin cocktails made with artisanal tonics. Chase one with a selection from our craft beer list, featuring small breweries from all over the country.

A short walk from all Broadway shows and the Met Opera at Lincoln Center, The Distillery is perfect for a pre- or post-show meal.

    Came for brunch to watch the Rugby with some friends & had a great experience. They were very accommodating with seating, gave us a good view of the TVs and also let us move when the AC was too much. Food & drinks were delicious, service was great & we would definitely return.

    Hit this place before going to see Wicked at the Gershwin. Liked the low key but swanky vibe... especially in the front bar room which was buzzing. We ate in the back. Great drink menu and huge beer selection. The salmon BLT was awesome and so were the chicky sliders! I’d come back here even just to hang in the bar! Fun time and we were in and out fast with enough time to walk over to the theatre!

    The Distillery atmosphere is local and pub style - If you're looking for a casual place to eat with excellent food, this is the place to go. ,The food and drinks were amazing and the staff was attentive. Each of the craft cocktails we ordered had a fun presentation and all of the food we ordered was delicious. We went for a quick pre-show meal and it did not disappoint! Highly recommended.

    I was pleasantly surprised . The place was pub like but the food was very good for bar type food. Value was good and you got 10% off an entree if you showed a theatre ticket for that day from new world stage.
