"The new distillery and restaurant in North Park debuted last week with a home for Six One Nine Vodka. Just opened 619 Distillery & Tasting Room at the corner of 30th Street and Lincoln Avenue plans to develop new products at this location, while offering visitors a tasting room, bar, and restaurant. Founder Nick Apostolopoulos has been making Six One Nine Vodka locally since 2012 using cane sugar in this gluten-free vodka available in a variety of all-natural infusions that use local ingredients. The 4,200-square-foot space houses a custom-made two-column 1,000L still as well as a dog-friendly patio. The bar will features a large cocktail menu built with Six One Nine spirits as well as drinks highlighting Southern California’s craft distillery community. The menu, created to pair with cocktails, includes charcuterie, bone marrow, chicken wings, a rib-eye steak, beef tartar, short rib poutine, mussels with a coconut curry, and hummus. The venue is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to midnight." - Susan Stapleton
