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 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.

Fantastic bar service from knowledgeable and friendly tenders mixing up incredible cocktails. Food was excellent - wings, peanut butter noodles…crab cake needed more lump meat, but flavor and corn salsa were delicious. Atmosphere is upscale but never stuffy. One of our favorite places!
