Distillery of Modern Art in Chamblee, Georgia Atlanta

I LOVE THIS BAR!! I love the concept it’s so cute The inside is so pretty and the location is perfect Their drinks are so good and very thoughtfully made My favorite is the three little birds, it’s such a fresh and delicious drink, truly one of my favorites, I can never have just one Also the service is always on point too I’ve been here a few times and I will continue to visit this place it’s such a hidden gem!!!! Highly recommend checking it out!! 10/10⭐️

I was surprised by my fiancé with a tour experience for my birthday. Henry (the general manager) was AMAZING. He walked us through the history of this distillery and all of their operations. The spirits are phenomenal and the bar has an array of options. Chauncè is a fantastic, highly experienced mixologist who made some incredible cocktails. The service here is impeccable! I’ll definitely be back and bringing some folks that may not know this gem exists.

Highly recommend! We were hit with a warm welcome as soon as we entered. Shortly after we began our tour with RUSSELL. He was a delight. Very knowledgeable and charismatic. He catered to us as we were somebody’s! My favorite thing was finding out about the local art and businesses that they work with. It felt like they care and that’s refreshing these days. The drinks!!!! Our favorite was the 3 little birds! Try it!!!! We also loved the peach so much we brought one!

The IHG global marketing team hosting an awards event at the Distillery of Modern Art and it was a fantastic experience for all. The team at the distillery were so accommodating and helped us execute an amazing event for our team. From the custom cocktails to the unique character of the space to the warm and welcoming support team, it was a five-star experience. We will definitely plan events here again.

The cocktails and spirits are incredible. However, I’m not sure if the manager was oblivious to his surroundings or just flat out rude, but as a result of his dismissive attitude we left after just one drink. Upon entering the bar area all customers were greeted except our part of four. After sitting with no introduction for some time we opted to move to the bar. The manager took the order from the two women in our group gave my friend and I side eye and just didn’t ask if we wanted a drink. We were then helped by the bartender and she was super nice! We also overheard the manager talking down to his staff with a full bar watching which was very uncomfortable. To end our experience the manager held the door for the group leaving in front of us and just let it close in my girlfriend’s face. Again, I don’t not know if it he was oblivious to his demeanor or just didn’t want a younger crowd in the distillery, but our second experience here was far different from the first. As someone who appreciates craft spirits and the artistry behind a great cocktail I will not visit this distillery again for quite sometime.

Swung by one evening for happy hour. I enjoyed the mix of a cocktail lounge and art. When I came, they had a pop up carribean vendor serving food. I also saw they have different events weekly. This spot is nice for a date or just an outing with friends.

Wonderful place. Love the concept and drinks are great. Mixologists Chauncè was amazing and very knowledgeable about his craft.

Was in Duluth and wanted to find an establishment for a cocktail before dinner - Google brought up a few restaurants that liked to be of just sports bar like. Then I came across the listing for Distillery of Modern Art and the reviews were telling and honest. Russell was helpful in explaining their liquor and the processes of their availability and the stories behind corn whiskey and plaintain liquor. Was so impressed we ended up buying the rye, corn whiskey. Lanise made the best Rye old fashioned and dirty martini, definitely treat yourself and add the blue cheese olives. Tatiana, who normally works in the distillery area was so engaged with us at the end of her shift telling us about the art gallery with art from local artists. This place is truly a gem and would be a great place for a company or social event. I love that it's an eclectic grown crowd without any riff raff. This place is so welcoming, do yourself a Neat favor and enjoy one at DoMA! 🥃

Two old men walk into a bar.... And they disappear. I loved the TV show "The Invisible Man" when I was a kid. I got to live out my fantasy last night when I entered the Distillery of Modern Art. The two ladies behind the bar were unable to see us as we walked in and sat right in front of them, an arms length away. The owner will remember that I exaggerated our wait time and apologized to him for doing so, however, instead of discussing what had happened to us, I let him go about his busy night. His, after all, was the only attention we got as we sat in front of what turned out to be his bar manager for long stretches of time being ignored. He could have sold us more drinks had the service been even slightly better. Should the owner decide to review the video from last night he can see that he is the only one to acknowledge us (IN ANY WAY) after we had sat for quite sometime (the other gentleman behind the bar did eventually stop by a couple of times before we left). He will see that the water glass initially in front of me is not mine, but that of a previous patron. He will see a long stretch of time before I good naturedly chided the nice bartender into serving me another Topo Chico that I had asked for, but apparently was forgotten. He will see that a few minutes before we leave I stand up to stretch, I dig into my wallet and pull out a $50 bill for the tip (because in some way I was perversely enjoying the bad treatment). He'll see that I thought better of it and just left a $20 (nearly 100% tip because we just weren't able to buy much) instead out of common decency. Very strange. Our friend, Ruichi's ensemble was fantastic through out this twilight zone sequence. Thank goodness for that.

For sure check out the tour they do early in the evening when they open- there is one at 5 pm and one at 6 pm and you need to reserve in advance. We learned about the history of the distillery, how the spirits are made (including walking through the back-of-house area) as well as hearing about the many different collaborations DOMA has with other businesses- like they help a lavender farm to make a lavender that actually has the farm's label. Also- they have a rotating Art show- and you can buy the art (the artist gets all the money from the sale)! Such a fun evening and the drinks are delicious!

I attended a Boozy Book Fair event and it was great. The distillery is such a beautiful venue and a great space for events like that. To our surprise, there was also live music - our server told us the band is there every Friday night. We did not try any of the snacks/small bites, but the craft cocktails are creative and good. I think it'd be a cute place to get drinks with the girls before a night out, a date night, or just a chill place to tour and try their spirits. Thanks for a great event, DoMA and Read It Again Books!!

I attended the Cookery and Cocktails at DOMA event featuring a summer kebab cooking demonstration and tasting. It was such a wonderful experience. I found out about this event on the Yelp events page. The demonstration was was crafted by Chef Naina Bedwhar of Kesar Kitchen. The facility is beautiful. It's a distillery that produces several liquors and has an art gallery as well. They offer tastings and classes throughout the month. Chef Naina was extremely informative and very pleasant. She demonstrated making a chicken kebab with bazar spice blend, malai tikka kebab and mango and saffron shrikhand. Everything was phenomenal! The flavors were explosive. I learned new cooking techniques and methods as well. We made our own spice blend to take home and were given copies of the recipes. We also indulged in well crafted cocktails specifically catered for this event by the DOMA staff. I had such a great time and look forward to returning!

The smash burger is really great. I wish they have other than a Sunday. Otherwise still very good. The drinks are great. Three little birds are my favorite. The service is great and people are always helpful.

It truly pains me to write this, but after the tears shed, I need to share my experience to move on. I am a former artist of the Watson Gallery and had a great experience showcasing my work. The staff was friendly, and the space was beautiful. My husband (then fiancé) and I chose DoMA for our wedding because of this connection. For six months, we planned with Becky Sowemimo, who was incredible--responsive, accommodating, and went above and beyond. She even helped us during an ice storm to ensure we could do our walkthrough. Minnie and Nicole were also kind and respectful to our guests. Becky and her team worked with my sisters to plan what should have been a beautiful reception, but due to poor communication decisions made by Henry Rosenbaum, my husband and I did not get that experience. We booked from 11 AM to 7 PM, yet when we arrived, neither the gallery nor the bridal room (where I was supposed to get dressed) was ready. Instead of having time to prepare for my wedding, we had to wait for DoMA's team to clear chairs from the ceremony space and bridal room--majorly setting us back. We were assured nothing else was scheduled earlier, yet our spaces should have been fully ready at 11 AM, not being prepped while we stood there waiting. This was the most embarrassing part of my wedding: I had spent months raving about the distillery, only for guests to later tell me they overheard Henry--within earshot--openly discussing how our wedding had gone over time and that there could be an additional charge if we didn't clear out. Instead of informing me--the contract holder--he had this conversation with someone outside our wedding party. As a result, my guests felt like they were being asked to leave immediately, even though we had been assured in planning that we could transition into the bar area after the reception. During planning, we had concerns about how many hours to book. Ironically, Russell reassured us by saying, "When the wedding is over, feel free to hang out in the main bar. If you're not 100% broken down by 7 PM, it's not like we would kick you out." We planned accordingly, yet that's exactly how my guests felt - kicked out. Because of the morning delays, our schedule shifted. Had someone come to me and said, "You are running over; here's the option to extend," I could have handled it. Instead, guests began leaving in the middle of what was supposed to be a joyful moment. The bar service was another disappointment. Our guests were given drink tickets, yet the bartenders inconsistently collected them. This led to my sister being wrongly charged $750--despite our bar tab being fully paid per our contract. Worse, my sister was not authorized to make payments, yet the charge was processed without consulting me. After the wedding, I went to DoMA hoping for accountability but was met with indifference. I even had to physically bring my contract. When I asked why I wasn't informed about going over time, Henry simply said they "typically don't bother the bride or groom." How was letting my reception be disrupted better than pulling me aside? Throughout planning, I was open, appreciative, and excited about this venue. So how did we get here? When I asked Henry, he had no clear answer--other than claiming they only speak to the person listed on the contract. Ironically, that person was me. And because no one spoke to me, here we are. There's more I could say, but honestly, it's painful to relive. I'm not here to bash DoMA, but if I don't share this, I may never be able to fully see my wedding day for the beautiful moment it should have been, despite the heartbreak. At the very least, I just wanted an apology. Or my security deposit, which I never got back. I received neither. If you book here, be extremely clear about who should be contacted for anything time-sensitive or contract-related. Otherwise, you risk experiencing what we did--even though the lack of accountability ultimately falls on DoMA.

AMAZING! Cocktails are delicious and very creative, just like the space! The vibe of this unique spot is really cool; welcoming as a neighborhood watering hole as well as a perfect event space. such a cool idea to feature local artwork, which only adds to the aesthetic of the building itself, which is a work of art. Can't say enough good things. Chamblee/Brookhaven and surrounding areas are lucky to have this "HIDDEN" GEM! The distillery has only been open for 9 months. Highly recommend if you're looking for a chill spot to have a crafted cocktail and light bites. NON BAR FOOD!

This is such a low key gem! You have a lot of moving parts, but they are all good moving parts though! You have the distillery... and the art... and the bar for drinks... you can just exist here and be fully immersed in everything it has to offer! The staff was super friendly and amazingly helpful. They had no problem explaining what goes into the drinks and as well as getting an opinion on what you want to specifically so I can tailor to drink towards you. They were very open and a lot of good customer service points with that. The atmospherere was super dope. It look like it didn't actually belong in this city look like it belonged in the heart of Atlanta. It was trendy and super chic. It was very clean and nice to look at inside and out. Yes they did have an outdoor seating area as well. All of the artwork was cool, they had a book fair while I was there as well. I thought that was pretty cool to have an art fair, a distillery with a bar, and a book fair lol at the same time. The cocktails I tried were the black Manhattan and a renewal. I usually gravitate toward an old fashioned but I decide to try something different. So I'm Manhattan was good and it was very potent. It's not something you can go back to back with, something that you have to take your time and sip slow. The renewal was something different I want to shake it up a little bit. It has beats in it so that threw me off lol but it was actually pretty decent. I put some habanero salt around the room just to spice it up, literally! I think that this place is really a potential go-to place that deserves perspect. I would definitely consider going back!

Truly an amazing and breathtaking event space. The staff was great, the drinks were creative and tasty, the art was beautiful. And the space was very clean and creative. Henry was so helpful in assisting us in securing the space and the entire night was seamless. Thank you!

I came for the tour. Had a wonderful time. The amount of thought and craft that goes into what they're making here is not only evident in the alcohol itself, but if you take the tour, it's explained in such a way that you have no choice but to, understand the passion behind the creative drive. And again all of this shows in the alcohol itself on various levels between smell and taste. I would highly recommend checking it out displayed through the tour is an extra element to the overall ambience of the establishment.

This place is a bit off the beaten path but very cool. There an event space where they host yoga or comedians. There is a gallery room with art and in the middle is a bar. The cocktails are works of art themselves

My friend David lives in Chamblee near this business and invited me to join him to try it out. It's hidden in an industrial area behind Curry Honda. Parking is available on the street and in their small private lot. We arrived at 530pm on Saturday and it was very very hot. The patio is covered and attractive but empty during our visit. The inside dining area was half full and the bar area had two empty seats which we grabbed immediately. We loved that they didn't cram an unrealistic number of bar stools into the space and allowed for sufficient elbow room between patrons at the bar. The concept is flights of liquor featuring their own products and craft cocktails using their own liquor and ingredients. Our favorite drinks were "the marg" which had green pepper syrup and "the Chamblee cooler ". Both were inventive, complex and tasty! We also did the flight of R&D Series bourbon. It was impressive and we enjoyed it! Food was limited and primarily snacks such as cheese, crackers and charcuterie. Artwork in the gallery area was cool. It's currently from a comic artist. The staff was friendly and efficient and we had a great time meeting people at the bar. We are excited to go back for another visit!!

DoMA is very cool! The inside is very sleek. Love the art on display (it's for sale!), especially that they feature local artists! They switch the art out. You can rent out a room for private events. You can get cocktails, snacks, and even buy a bottle of their spirits--whiskey, gin, and vodka. Everyone we met who was working there was super friendly! Most of the cocktails are on the expensive side, ranging from $9-$18. I was expecting the drinks to be prettier, but wasn't too impressed. I got The Marg, which was made with vodka. Definitely not a typical margarita, but it was very good. I liked it better than the Chai Latte. My husband got both Old Fashioneds and he liked the Rye better than the Bourbon. Very cool spot! Just hoping the cocktails improve!

I've been twice. The first was when it had just recently opened and few people were inside. It is a unique premise with both set and changing art galleries + a distillery. The second time I went a small book sale event was happening in the changing gallery area. That time the service was terrible! They were clearing struggling with a busier crowd, and our friendly server could not remember to get my table of 4 our drinks for about 2 hours even though we reminded him and asked other servers. Eventually he gave me a drink which wasn't what I ordered because they were out, but I was charged the full price of the speciality cocktail I didn't receive. The menu is well-designed visually and in terms of actual content. Unique cocktail ideas and you can buy a handle to go. If they get their service together, I'm sure it will do well due to the cool concept of the place.

As Chamblee residents, we were super excited to finally get the chance to try the Distillery of Modern Art. We decided to sit outside as it was a beautiful night. Our waiter was SLAMMED, to the point where we never saw him in the hour and a half after we got our drink delivered. We felt bad for how busy he was and the bartender also seemed extremely overwhelmed. The drinks were alright, the peach vodka was very good but I was surprised they couldn't customize a drink given I asked for a substitution that was available and listed on their menu. Given the bill came out to $40 for two drinks (and the tip of course), we didn't feel that it was a $40 experience and probably wouldn't return.

I came in a Friday night with my hubby. There was a jazz ensemble playing/singing that provided nice background music. It was our first time here so I wasn't sure what to expect. It wasn't busy at all. The bartenders were super nice and attentive, one of them even told us how he came up with one of their new Fall drinks. We enjoyed our drinks which were decently priced. The art area isn't as large as I thought it would be, but the current exhibit was interesting. Overall, it was a chill vibe and we def plan to come back.

What a great spot for some great drinks & a fun atmosphere. Came here for drinks after dinner & had a great experience. Live music, great list of cocktails with house-made spirits & mixers. The mule with their peach vodka was so yummy! They showcase different local artists & have a small gallery you can walk through while sipping on cocktails. I love the art they have on the inside of the spirit bottles. We bought a bottle of their vodka to take home. They've got a menu of snacks & charcuterie you can have with drinks. Will definitely be back.

The cocktails are next level and I love that the art is constantly changing. Wish they had a little more food, but I give them a pass because of the drinks and the space. Also, the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.

This is a great new addition to Chamblee. I've been twice for events so can't wait to go back on less crowded evenings and explore more. Their signature drink the Chamblee cooler is light and fun. But what I like even more is their peach vodka. I've never had vodka that tasted so good. I love the idea of their business and how they present such cool art all around.

Super awesome spot! Great drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and they have got a wonderful assortment of cheese and meats (think charcuterie) if you feel like snacking on something. The art was wonderful and I loved that it was local art, but I did wish there was just a little more space dedicated to the art as it was in a small space compared to the relatively large distillery. Still a really neat concept to bring people together over good drinks and art

In a revitalizing area of Chamblee this place rises to the status of a crown jewel of neighborhood excellence. It never tries to over reach, remaining a casual place that features local artists works on display paired with better than average in house distilled spirits. The real feature though is the carefully curated cocktail menu. It manages to make the most of the spirits crafted on the premises and never wavers from a standard of fresh high quality ingredients that are impeccably presented. Between Distillery of Modern Art and Contrast Artisan Ales, the hard work of locals striving at the craft they so obviously love is leaving a mark on the neighborhood and giving it a character of excellence and character.

Ambiance was awesome. Super detailed! Service was incredible. They prob even had too many people working, but no compliant there. We went in on Saturday night. The bar was slammed, which was nice, but I suspect that more people weren't there because their parking lot was full for a private event in the back room. We loved the winter drink menu and are happy to come back as they switch over for Spring! Highly recommend.

This place is soooo cool and combines 2 of my favorite things: art and cocktails. It is definitely a must if you are in Chamblee! They have rotating art pieces to enjoy from local artists but the vibe is not stuffy or pretentious at all. All of the bartenders were super friendly and the cocktails are delicious. I was completely blown away by the "shot and a beer" which is a shot of honey cinnamon corn whiskey and a tonic drink that tastes very much like a beer and a shot of fireball but 1000x better! I also had the fall old fashioned and the chai latte-- all very well made, you really can't go wrong with any of the cocktails! I like that they have their own parking lot as well as a lot of street parking. I think they also serve coffee during the day!

Terrible service, food and beverage. I was hopeful this place was better managed since we live so close. This was second time we visited. I didn't post first time because they were new and didn't have their act together. So we waited a year to come back and appears things have just gotten worse.

We came here after reading about this place in a magazine. This was such a shock, as I did not even know it even existed. Taking a tour of the art and the vast number of craft cocktails that they served were such a surprise. You can also sit down with your company and enjoy the wonderful vibe that they showcase. This was such a cool excursion and I plan to come back, especially if I want to escape and have some art/libation tranquility. Great place to visit.

Amazingly unique cocktails & atmosphere! So glad Google recommended it as a "Cool Cocktail place on Chamblee"!

This spot is a must go. Great (really great) cocktails and a beautiful space. Perfect spot for events, pre-dinner drinks or nightcaps. Definitely worth checking out. No other place like this in Atlanta.

Ambiance very cool w stellar service and drinks. Would recommend for a business happy hour or for a date!

We came here spontaneously because we heard there is live music every Friday. This place is amazing! The drinks are great, there is art and the music was just loud enough so you can still have a conversation. It's an intimate place. Will definitely come back.

Not only is this distillery churning out amazing craft liquor - the building and its contents, as the name suggests, are works of art. From the complex workings of the column still, to the bottling room, the event space, the art gallery, the bar, and the exterior and interior signage..no detail has been forgotten. The level of intention paired with creativity and an eye for design...are all truly exceptional. I've only been there once since opening but I will be back many times - including booking the event space for my next big birthday party. Well done!
