District Distilling Co.

Nice place. Every staff member I encountered was friendly and polite. Jeff, our tour guide, was pleasant and informative. I like the design of the space - it has a nice feel to it. The spirits ranged from interesting to good. I did not have food. It is a nice place to celebrate a special occasion. And if you are a whisky or gin lover and looking to excite your palate, it's worth checking out. IF you are not in a rush or with a large party. They did not plan well- with the front and back of house. If they can get a solid event manager and experienced food runner, this is a Serious problem that can be corrected. The head chef, Justin was extremely nice and after a tour of the prep kitchen downstairs, I think it safe to say that this restaurant is meeting health and food guidelines - which above customer service, is most important to me.

Cindy was our tour guide and was super great. Incredibly knowledgeable... made me want to start my own distillery! The C&O whiskey needs to be made into a perfume. Just for me. I could sniff that ALL DAY. Awesome tour & tasting! (and I've been to many😂😂😂)

My friends and I love coming here for happy hour to get the chicken biscuit! It’s honestly one of the best in the city! The chicken is perfectly fried and even better when you drizzle honey over it. “What’s the Rush” is my favorite on the cocktail menu, but it’s a small pour. Overall, great place to come!!!

Went for Saturday brunch. The food was surprisingly really good. I had the biscuits and gravy and it was pretty damn good. It had a nice kick to it with out being spicy. Also, the home fries were really good and I normally hate them. Didn't get to do a tour or try a cocktail by if the food was that good then the drinks must also be great.

What a great addition to the often classless U Street Corridor. Serving an elevated bar menu and classic cocktails made with in-house liquors, this place is a great respite from the overpriced and overcrowded options nearby. I had their house-ground burger, which was excellent if unwieldy. Their bartenders know their business and are incredibly friendly. This place goes in my regular rotation for a chill weeknight cocktail. Try the Wild June gin!

Ive been trying to come here for the longest! It was very much worth the wait! The ambiance, food , and service was amazing!!! Definitely

Wonderful pearl in the middle of the U Street Corridor. Good and experienced service, perfect cocktail (the Negroni in particular), excellent tapas. A truly relevation for cocktail lovers.

HOLY COW, SO GOOD. Best gin I have ever had (WildJune) and multiple extremely good whiskeys including a borderline scotch that is superb. Also, try the Checkerbark whiskey.
