At Philadelphia Distilling, our distilling team combines craftsmanship, science and skill to create a unique portfolio of premium spirits that rely on the agricultural integrity of authentically sourced grains and botanicals and the finest heritage equipment.

Hand-hammered copper pot stills from the fifth-generation Forsyth family and wooden fermentation vessels from Hall-Woodford, an iconic Philadelphia-based family business, are key points of difference for us—both in their construction value as well as the integrity of the spirits they help us to produce. We continue our batch-by-batch process, creating spirits that celebrate big, bold flavor.

    We went around 4pm and it was not crowded and quiet which is a pleasant surprise after dining in NYC the past two weekend. Food was very good and all 3 of us liked our drinks. (Even the non-gin drinker among us)

    Always friendly staff, great drinks (we learned that all ingredients in the tasting room must be made in house, which is probably why the drinks always taste better there than similar drinks made elsewhere with bluecoat). Staff went out of their way to accommodate us after a very understandable mixup. Looking forward to returning.

    An amazing way to kick off a night before a show. The food was so delicious and perfectly portioned. The cocktails were unique and masterfully crafted. Staff was friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend checking it out before a punchline, Brooklyn bowl or Fillmore show.

    We had a great meal at Philadelphia Distilling. The drinks were super fun and the food was amazing. All of the servers were very friendly and helpful, though it was a litlte confusing as to whether we had a primary server vs. a collective - we ended up ordering additional drinks from the person who was helping clear dishes away (perhaps they were a little short-staffed). Overall, would highly recommend and would definitly go back!

They even made adjustments to the Brussels sprouts to make them gluten free for my date. Highly recommend this spot to anyone:

    We love coming here. Service was very slow this time. We were sat about 30 minutes after our reservation time, the server was delayed multiple times coming back to us to see if we needed more drinks, then management asked us to leave for over staying our reservation time even though we were sat very late. Then he walked away without letting us respond. Food and drinks and environment is always good. We were trying to be patient bc it was the birthday party even but being asked to leave without letting anyone respond when being sat late and not checked on timely was just bad taste.

    The Absinthe with the Fountain and Absinthe Spoons was a great fun experience. Purchased a bottle to take home. Although we only had an appetizer, it was very good, and the menu looked good. Definitely a great spot to go before attending a show at The Fillmore or Brooklyn Bowl.
