My Husband and I visited Ferino Distillery recently during a short trip to Reno and we are so happy we did! During our visit we met Joe Canella aka Mr. Cinnamon who is the creator of this establishment along with his business partner. We were fortunate to be given a tour and experience a tasting by Mr. Cinnamon himself and we were not disappointed! Joe is very passionate about his creations it is obvious throughout the Ferino tasting experience. During our visit we tasted 5 different liquors made at Ferino of which we walked away with 4 bottles plus 2 bottles of Ferinos homemade bitters which are amazing! I regret not grabbing more. Of the different alcohols we tried I was torn between the bourbon and the Cinnamon. Joe made me an old fashioned using the 2 together that gave me the best of both worlds. It's one of my new favorite drinks. We had such a great time and cannot wait to return for another visit. Thank you Ferino Distillery for a great experience. We'll be seeing you again. Jack & Amber Todd Keep Reno Ferino 😉

Joe is a wonderful wealth of knowledge. Marin is an amazing bartender. Loved the corals so much, bought 3 bottles. This is a must stop when in Reno.

I was there this past weekend for their tour and tasting and I highly recommend! Our group of 4 arrived earlier than the start time so we tried some of their drinks. I didn’t catch the bartenders name at first but based off the other reviews her name is Marin and she made the best espresso martini 🤩 everyone here is really friendly and knowledgeable and they make sure you’re having a great time. Joe was really funny and interacted with everyone and we also met his dad. Very nice father son duo. I really liked the Caffe Notte, which I believe is what is used in their espresso martini. It is also good by itself. This was a great start to our evening so thank you!

I loved my visit to Ferino's! My partner and I are always looking for a fun new place and we found a great place here. The drinks are not your average list of cocktails but instead new and reimagined takes on the classics. I will defiantly be going back and getting myself some more fernet and coke! This staff was amazing and Joe, the owner, is very kind and cares a lot about his distillery and also his customers.

I really love this distillery/place to learn about various alcohol that is made here!! Joe the owner is so personable and loves sharing his knowledge. He holds classes so folks can get hands on practice making yummy cocktails!! And bonus there a bar to order yummy cocktails!! Today I ordered The Heliotrope. So beautiful and really tasty!! A cocktail to be savored. I highly recommend this place!!

Awesome staff - Awesome distillery. Do yourself a favor and do the tour of Ferino. You won't be disappointed! You're able to sample all of Ferino's creations and get the background on each of them. Joe Cinnamon's jokes are top shelf! Daniel behind the bar is an ace cocktail artist. Marin will recommend the best cocktails and is equally awesome. The staff here will make sure you have a fantastic experience. Highly recommended. Will be back the next time I'm town. 5 stars, no less. #KeepRenoFeral

I recently attended a class at Ferino, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by both the staff, setting the tone for a friendly and collaborative atmosphere. The instructor was not only knowledgeable but also had a knack for making complex concepts easy to understand. I left the class feeling like I had truly learned a lot, thanks to their clear explanations and engaging teaching style. It felt like more than just a class; it felt like a community of learners coming together to grow and learn. Overall, I highly recommend Ferino for anyone looking to expand their knowledge in a supportive and welcoming environment. I can't wait to attend another class soon!

Ferino is definitely a unique gem. It’s not just a typical distillery where they make exactly the same thing as every other distillery. We did the distillery tour and tasting flight which was hosted by Joe, the owner of the distillery. He focuses on making spirits that are inspired by his Italian heritage and you can taste the passion he puts into his craft. In addition to the spirits we tased as part of the tour, we had several cocktails at the bar. While there, we met one of the regulars who was a lot of fun to talk to. After the tour, tasting flight, and time at the bar, I have a much deeper appreciation of Italian Apéritif spirits and the art of making them.

Definitely different!! Not your typical distillery. Staff was amazing, very knowledgeable! The old fashion was delicious. If you want a nice drink and conversation at the bar this is nice.

What a way to celebrate a milestone, with Ferino marking their fifth year in brining bright bitters and capital cordials to Reno. Their signature spirits, ranging from their Amaro, to the Fernet, the Canella, and others, have always been outstanding. And their cocktail selection is superb, with tons of tasty libations to choose from. And now we have even more to love about this spot, as a true Nevada icon is being made by the folks here. The big shindig over this past weekend was not only to mark their anniversary, but was also meant to celebrate Ferino acquiring the rights to produce Amer Picon, main ingredient in the Picon Punch, our much beloved (or reviled, depending on who you ask) state cocktail. This is some seriously cool news, as now this distinctive drink gets to be made in our own backyards, making it a bit of a point of pride for folks here in Nevada. And trying one out, it was amazing, hitting that sweet spot, and feels right at home on the menu. Definitely looking forward to having more of them in future, and to seeing their label pop up at other bars and restaurants where the Picons are served. If that isn't enough to drag you down here, then there is certainly loads else worth scoping out. You can stop by to try a tasting flight, or schedule a tour of their production facility. Keep your eyes peeled for their rotating seasonal cocktail specials, or try and attend a talk about gin making. Or just come down, hang out, and enjoy the ambiance. This is just such a cool spot, great use of an old building, and really makes it a place you can sit back and enjoy a round or two. Plus, the service here has always been top notch and very friendly, making any customer feel right at home. All in all, Ferino is for sure one of my top recommendations for places to drink here in Reno. It's a very unique spot that will for sure broaden your pallet and make you thirsty for more. Looking forward to coming back soon. Cheers, all!

I popped into Farino distillery last night for a cocktail with friends before going out to dinner. Absolutely adorable interior, the vibe is cozy yet chic. I ordered a paper plane one of my favorite cocktails. Our bartender was awesome. Really good vibes all around I'll be back! Something that is good to know is that they don't serve food. So, pro tip, bring your own pizza or take out!

Ferino started as a distillery and has morphed into a full bar experience with tasty craft cocktails using their own spirits. The drink menu rotates to showcase the seasonal flavors. They also offer distillery tours and tasting experiences, cocktail classes, and a Gin school. The team behind the bar have expert knowledge of the products and are always happy to tell you everything you want to know if you're looking to geek out and learn more in depth details. The decor is definitely eclectic. The main bar features a full wall mural with an old world feel to it. Then there are lots of shelves with intriguing bottles and jars that make you feel like you are in a fun cocktail laboratory. They also have a club called The Feral Hearts Society, which I am a member of. You get perks like $5 drinks, monthly drawings for free stuff, and 20% off products and 20% off drinks for people in your party.

We went to Ferino Distillery for a small birthday gathering. The ambiance was "chill." I loved the mural over the bar. Our host, Daniel, was phenomenal. We sampled great Italian spirits. My favorite was the Cannella cinnamon cordial. This family-owned and operated distillery is proudly located in the heart of Reno's Brewery District. Daniel showed us innovative spirits with ancient Italian origins. The experience is one we will not be forgetting. Thank you so much, Daniel! We had a great time.

Joe, the proprietor, was our host for the tasting and tour. Fun, compact distillery in Reno's "Brewery District" (sketch part of town, but on the upswing), Joe shared his Italian roots and passion for making the spirits that put this place on the map. Fun fact: Ferino is now the producer of the Amaro found in the potent Picon Punch. We stocked up on our favorites...the cinnamon cordial and Correto coffee liqueur. Yum! Fun time had by the 6 of us and will certainly be back.

This locally owned distillery makes several liqueurs and cordials for your enjoyment. During Tour de Brews one of the owners was bartending so we asked lots of questions. It is definitely work of passion. From the Cannella Cinnamon Cordial to the Caffe Notte coffee liqueur the creativity shows through. We were able to try several magical concoctions she made and leave with a bottle of Caffe Notte. It's a full bar so sit down and have a classic cocktail made for you or taste the locally made liqueurs. The space is large with a beautiful mural behind the bar. A perfect place for a bachelorette party I'm told. They also offer tours and classes.

Perfect place to adventure out for a date night! The atmosphere was fun and had a speak easy type vibe! WE did the distillery tour and got some great background on the history of this place. It was awesome talking to the staff and seeing what they recommended. The history of how this all came to be was so fascinating and fun to learn about! My favorite was the coffee liquor and it will not disappoint, even if you aren't a fan of coffee!!! I highly recommend this place for a great spot to try one of a kind drinks that are only found right here at this distillery! They even have multiple microbrew spots for you to make your own gin! This is a cool spot with a near vibe! Highly recommend stopping by! Their drink suggestions will not disappoint!

Unlike any distillery tour we have ever taken as the tastings are not the normal but still fun and amazing! The place has a "hole in the wall" bar look to it when you first go in, but upon closer inspection there is a huge wall of beautiful and unusual alcohol's and aperitifs. Our tour was given by the owner and it was interesting how he told the story of how this business came to be and how with a lot of work and even more "try, try again" spirit he was able to make his dream come true. Tour or just stopping by for a cocktail is highly recommended.

What a great Birthday present. Thank you Donna Bates. What a fantastic afternoon at this absolutely great distillery Started with a tasting of 6 different gins with a description of the ingredients for each, so I can decide what I wanted in my gin (my gift was a gin making class). I choose my ingredients to equal 30 grams See pics for more details. Then while it was distilling, we were able to join a tour that Joe had scheduled. Great tour. Included tasting of 4 different liquers, followed by a tour of the distillery room Joe who's the owner was also a great presenter and teacher. Highly recommend you stop by and taste his unique cocktails. Once a month he has a comedian for entertainment. Sorry no food served at this venue. Just unique drinks Can't wait to come back and try a cocktail. Which, by the way change frequently

Pro's: Nice long bar, spacious gathering area. Con's: Not sure. Go back?: Maybe More... We were here on a night where there was a bartender's competition, along the lines of Iron Chef, where barkeeps competed against each other using one same ingredient - Underburg. I had never heard of it and had fun learning about it - typically known as a digestiv so after-dinner. The local distributor is working to expose this unique flavor to the masses. The competition was fun to watch - because my friend was in it! As for the bar itself, it could be a great place to hangout. There was a spot for live entertainment in the back and, with that, it would be on the map as a fun destination. But one message to the staff...someone, please water the plants!

Another year, another good reason for Nog! I had stopped by Joe's table at the NV Diabetes Foundation's Winter Wonderland event, so over the fields and thru the woods to Ferino I went! This year, Jingle Balls Nog was on my list to gift, and they were able to make a couple bottles appear out of Santa's sack LOL. Before this review takes a turn to the naughty list, let me turn it around! This is the hap, hap, happiest bar you'll ever see! It's festive AF. Check this place out! They're part of the Miracle pop-up, so take a look at the limited edition gifts & glassware, too! It only took a day for my special order to be ready for pick up, and they decked the bottle out with wee Santa hats too. The only bummer here is look at how off the labels are! For $30 a bottle, a little quality control would be appreciated for gifting. On that note, I was told $30 a bottle on the phone, but was charged$65 + tax when I arrived...was I charged an extra $5 for the Santa hats?!?! That's pushing nice list boundaries... Overall, it's a great bar to visit at the holidays, and they have some of the most unique sprits Reno has to offer.

We are actually members here. We have not been able to get here in time before closing. Unfortunately they close around 8 PM we don't get off work till 9 PM. However tonight we were able to get in about 7:30 pm. We really enjoyed our visit here. Taylor, Who is the bartender and very personable. He is A great mixologist. Since there's some functions downtown, there was no one in one meeting in. But quite happily, after we sat down to have our monthly cocktail, but a few people showed up and made it to real fun and social. The history of this place is pretty amazing. That they brew and distilled her own alcohols is a lot of fun. They just came out with a nice bathroom, and I will be back to try that. If you want to be authentic distillery experience, and yet still, a small hometown feel, you should really try this place. On a sidenote, they do have a membership here that includes two free monthly drinks, and a discount on their alcohols. It is really worth it. Give it a try!

Only $12?? I struggle to understand how I managed to get such an incredible drink at this price! Me and the wife stopped in for a flight tour, and I have never tasted so much flavor in a liquor! Everything from the sweet to the dry was spiced and flavored so well, I could have enjoyed any of them on the rocks (and I I'm a wimp with most liquors). Not to meantion the cocktails! During our stay in Reno NV, the wife and I tried the espresso martini, shakenado, fernet and coke, and the gin martini. We ranted, raved, oohed, and aahed over each and everyone of them! Now that we're back in Ohio, we are so sad we are without Ferino! We will miss you Joe Cinnamon!

Celebrating our anniversary with friends at Ferìno Distillery. We enjoyed the Essential Cocktails class. We learned the fundamentals and history of the Old Fashioned, Side Car, and Martini. We appreciated Claire's knowledge and the ability to customize our drinks to our liking. We had the opportunity to meet Joe the owner, as he kindly introduced himself and welcomed us to the Distillery. Claire was patient and did not rush us during our "fun" in tasting and creating our cocktails. We look forward to booking our next class with Claire soon. Highly recommend All whom we encountered at Ferìno were welcoming and personable. Excellent experience.

Great place if you want to enjoy a drink and conversation. We were looking for somewhere to have a drink and chat with an out of town friend. On a Friday night it can be tough to find somewhere without loud music or loud people. We made our way to Ferino. It was just the vibe we wanted. Quiet music and a handful of other patrons made for a fun spot where we could relax and catch up. Owner, Joe, was behind the bar. The clever menu is by spirit on one side and style on the other. As I Ferino member I skipped the menu and ordered the members only tiki style punch while my friends tried the Shakerato with Caffee Norre and the Toronto. The tiki punch was all the rummy goodness you'd expect but the delicious twist is a splash of the house made cinnamon cordial. The Toronto and Caffee Norre impressed as well. The bar does a good job of honoring the history of the spirits. There are murals, a botanical demo table, and receipts served in books about the ingredients.

I came to the Ferino Distillery for the first time yesterday as part of a Jewish Nevada function. This family-owned and operated distillery is located in the heart of Reno's Brewery District. It focuses on innovative spirits with classic Italian origins, which are highlighted via a full cocktail bar and events venue. The Ferino Distillery first came my attention when I ordered some hand sanitizer during COVID. And I've been on the e-list ever since. The Brewery District is definitely a neighborhood in upward transition, as what I saw on 4th Street was the ruminants of the old US 40, complete with dated motels along the way. Now called Business 80, just keep driving East and you'll be on the main interstate road before you can say "Bob's your Uncle and Fanny's your Aunt. Parking is fairly easy near Ferino, and probably safe within daylight hours. I had a great time! While in attendance, I enjoyed a delicious and well prepared Paper Plan cocktail and followed along later as the owner (Joe Cannella) led us through the history of his business, various creations, and some signature tastings. This included delicious sips of the Cannella Cinnamon Cordial, an Amaro Cannella, a Fernet Ferino, and Caffè Notte Single Origin Coffee Liqueur. The latter is a bit sweeter and would work well on ice cream. And after we were done with that, we received a illustrative tour of the Distillery in back. I look forward to coming back~ Will it be Gin College? Or a church event featuring "Jesus Juice", or to just share a cocktail and a nosh with Gayle? Time will tell. :) p.s. - Check out the cool murals behind the bar.

Last fall at an Elite Event, Ferino's owner Joe Cannella had mentioned he was putting together a gin school. Recently I wanted an extra special birthday present for a special friend, who happens to prefer gin. BINGO !! Ferino's Gin School is more like Gin College. Up to four people can schedule at one time, but Angela had the class to herself. And this is how the afternoon went- First a welcome to class drink of her choice. Well duh, gin and soda with lemon. Then a personal introduction to the class with Joe. Next a tasting of 5 gin variations to help narrow down the nuances she wanted. Then discovering all the botanical possibilities and combinations that could be used. After creating her list, Joe helped with proportions of each that would be needed. Then with mortar and pestle Angela opened up the essence of each ingredient. Joe placed the aromatics in a small basket in the mini still, added the liquid, and let it start distilling. That would take a little over an hour. So we joined a tour of the distillery. I've done this tour at least 6 times and it's always so much fun. You get to hear the background story on his name and the inception of the company. And now how it's growing. From the original three digestifs, to four and all the new classes- gin and cocktails. As well as a tasting of the Cinnamon Cordial, Amaro, Fernet, and Cafe Notte. Then we heading to the back where the deliciousness is distilled and infused for maximum and perfect flavor. There Joe took us through the process and the various equipment used. Afterwards we enjoyed a House cocktail created with one of his signature digestifs. As we sipped, we watched the still slowly finish releasing Angela's Birthday Gin droplet by droplet. Then Joe created her a label and filled the bottle, rounding out the gin to its best proof. What an absolutely great afternoon. Now I can't wait to try one of the new monthly cocktail classes starting in May. By the way, keep an eye out in late November- Joe has one of the best egg nogs in town.

The distillery tour and tasting flight were the perfect afternoon activity! The owner and bartenders were knowledgeable and welcoming. You could tell they really enjoyed what they do. Their good energy is infectious. The tasting flight was well balanced and engaging. You learn the history the liqueurs, what they are made of, and how Ferino brings their own special touch to the final product, all while sipping on liquid deliciousness. I regret not buying a few bottles while I was there this weekend. So much so that I ordered a some bottles online. I'm hoping to do the gin making class the next time I'm in town.

Come here and get some good shit to drink. Ferino is a kind of new distillery near the breweries east of downtown Reno. It has some seriously good crafted liquors and the prices are kind of high but not outrageously for quality like this. Get here in the morning for coffee. Then come here later to get liquored up. I came with the girl to try a few locally crafted cocktails. Last time it was pretty quiet. The place can hold a small crowd when it gets busy which is usually on weekends. A thing here is they put their own twist on these liquors. They add some kind of spice. Often it seems to be cinnamon. They make an incredible tequila. I like the Cinnamon Margherita. It's $11 for a small one. They could give you more than this. Basically the worst thing here are the prices. I wish they weren't so stingy. Come for the excellent liquors. If you check in you get a few bucks off. They have coffee in the morning too.

Stopped in last night and was a small group at the bar. Friend and I sat down and ordered 2 drinks. Kind of slow service as Joe the bartender told us he was serving them, so took us about 10 min to get our drink. Drinks are good, just kind of slow. Nice cozy place.

Christmas came early during COVID when they allowed bars to do cocktails to-go, and I really came to enjoy that this holiday season! I was fortunate enough to receive a flask of the Canella cinnamon cordial, a specialty Frey Ranch "Ranch Hand" for a Yelp event, Uncle Joe's Winter Boulevardier and the limited release bourbon barrel Canella cinnamon cordial too! The standout was the boulevardier. It had a unique bitterness of orange peel with the citrus kick of the zest and this spice that I can't quite place, all of which comes from Ferino Amaro. I also enjoyed their cordial in coffee and hot chocolate, and that Ranch Hand was just a perfectly sippable over cocktail that showed off the four grain bourbon. Curbside or limited contact pickup available. Online ordering too. They've done the pivot pretty well. Can't wait until I can visit again. Thankful they have these ways to still serve the community.

This was precisely the recovery we needed on our date night after the failed experience at the Mexican restaurant down the street: spiritus liquors! Marco, our bartender, gave us an introduction to all that Feríno is, and even solicited our feedback regarding what this pace could become with the future addition of their second floor. We learned a great deal about the ingredients of our cocktails, and I had the chance to smell gentian root for the first time. His service was definitely the shining star you hope for when you set foot in a place like this, so much so that I had zero objection to buying a bottle of their newest addition: the Corretto, a single origin coffee-based liqueur featuring a locally roasted coffee. This item has Reno written all over it, and is not to be missed! Come here. Try a few cocktails, or a small glass of their distilled libations, and leave with a bottle of what you love. They even offer pre-mixed cocktails to go, which are really catching on. I have the feeling that our future wedding will feature a signature cocktail à la Feríno!

We recently did a distillery tour at Ferino with some friends (tickets available on their website). Joe Cannella, the owner of Ferino, welcomed us and in addition to telling his story, he gave a behind the scenes tour of their facility and showed us how their unique Italian style liqueur is made. We learned that "Canella" is Joe's family name and is also the Italian word for cinnamon, which Joe discovered on a trip to Sicily. During our tour Joe went into great detail on the distilling process and was patient with our questions. It was really cool to learn their process and see it in action. After the tour, Joe provided tastings of their Cannella Cinnamon Cordial, Barrel Aged Cinnamon Cordial, Amaro Cannella, Fernit Ferino. Each has a distinct taste. Warning though, these are not for the weak... they are most definitely something you want to sip slowly!! The Barrel Aged Cinnamon Cordial was my favorite, and I hope they continue making this one going forward. Our experience was great. We really enjoyed getting to know Joe, his story, tasting the various spirits, and seeing Ferino's new digs. Really looking forward to spending more time here and enjoying their cocktails.

5 stars all day long and a shout out to Mr. Cinnamon. We took the distillery tour and it was great. After that we went back for the Gin class and that was an amazing time. We will definitely be going back for another class. Joe is great and super friendly every time we've gone in. And a shout out to Dom that has served us a few times. The place is very casual and a great place to meet up and have some crafted cocktails that I don't think you can get anywhere else. The paper Plane is my favorite refreshing drink now.

Feríno Distillery is located in the Brewery District of downtown Reno, just East of Lead Dog Brewing. It is a little hard to find as it is squished in between two other buildings; I definitely missed the door the first time I was looking for it. There is parking to the East of the buildings and there is street parking. Once inside, you walk in to a very relaxed environment. Everything is very simple with cream colored walls and wood bar top. In the back of Feríno, you will see a small art gallery. The bartender, Kevin, told us that in conjunction with The Holland Project, the exhibits will change about every three months. I found that really cool, locals supporting locals - does it get any better? I ended up getting the Fauxsé (like Frozé, but Fuax). In it was Hendrick's, Amaro Cannella, Pomegranate, Chamomile, Mandarin Soda, served with three Ritz Crackers (Crackaz), and Cheese (Easy cheese?). The drink itself was DEEEELISH! Making it dangerous because it does pack quite a punch. The pairing was sort of complimentary; not what I would usually stick together but overall, having some crackers with was nice. Feríno Distillery has some games you can play, like cribbage, Uno, etc.. Feríno would be a fun place to take your friends out for a drink. Not the best neighborhood but still very fun and homey once you walk in and have a seat. I'd recommend going, I know I will be back to try more!

I meant to get in and visit Ferino within the first month...then the first year...and then Covid hit and it seems to have been more than 2 years since they opened. I really don't like waiting this long to visit a business after it opens. But this was unavoidable for me until now. Ferino has partnered with Coffeebar of Reno to make a really good coffee liqueur called "Corretto". But don't be misled to think this is just a Kaluha knockoff. This drink is not sickly sweet and can be easily sipped all by itself but goes so well in the handful of cocktails I was able to try. The old fashioned was my favorite. The bar itself is bright and leans heavy into the industrial origins of the building. Day drinking here doesn't feel dingy and out of time and place. The bartenders were both friendly and informative on the alcohols being distilled on property as well as the ones they were being mixed with. I look forward to getting a few drinks here in the future as well as getting a few bottles of the Corretto.

What a great place! The drinks are amazing. They make so many of their own ingredients, which really makes everything pop. The staff are a lot of fun and really know their stuff. The decor/ambiance is very good. I can't recommend this place enough!

This is such a cool place! Through a few different options that you can do here one of my favorites is the gin making experience! It takes a few hours but to get some friends involved and you guys will make your own gin that you can take home! Another option they have is just a full bar or you can take a little brewery tour and learn about the name and the owner at his background!

We were visiting town on a gambling junket from Colorado, and wanted something interesting to do. My wife bought a distillery tour online, and we came to redeem it, in the middle of a snow blizzard. We met with Joe Cannella, an owner, and you can read all of the reviews above by Donna B, who does such a great job. We brought a bottle of coffee, liquor, Coretto back home in our luggage, along with a Cannella cinnamon bottle. We just opened the coffee bottle tonight, and had a great time with that. We will be back, and you need to go to this distillery. When we walked in, there were four small gin stills operating, and that was part of gin club. What a great place, and great booze. This is a large, beautiful venue, and there was some sort of reunion going on, that didn't interfere with us at all. Thank you, Reno.

We enjoyed not only the spirits but also the gin school. It was a blast and very memorable! Claire is a gem. Come here for a good time.

This was such a neat experience! I am always down to try new things so when my bestie suggested a tasting as a double date, I was super excited. Ferino exceeded my expectations. They currently make 3 liquors and told us there is a 4th flavor in development. They were so unique and unusual! It was really neat to learn about their process and get to see the equipment. And, of course, to taste the liquors! The building is also super cool, I love the decor. They make mixed drinks with their liquors that are absolutely TO DIE FOR. Definitely a cool hangout spot!

Went to a tasting here at Ferino's Distillery today with my fam and it was awesome, Clair was an absolutely amazing host/bartender, super cool, Hella chill and just made the experience so friendly. The spirits were great, every drink Clair made was so good I highly recommend going here and experiencing it for yourself. The ambiance was very relaxing and me an the fam are definitely coming back to MAKE OUR OWN GIN! Thanks Clair and Clairs sister for the awesome experience an awesome story an good laughs!

My husband and I were able to join some friends here for their distillery tour and tasting and it did not disappoint! I enjoyed hearing the history of the drinks from the owner himself and definitely have my eye on a few drinks that I'll need to go back to try at a later date. You can find a cozy spot to cuddle into or sit at the bar with friends at the bar and still receive the same great service. The liquors themselves are super unique and remind me of the apertivos and cocktails that I've tried while traveling. It's a nice spot to stop on 4th st.

I kind of just walked in here on a whim with some friends and it's a really cool space! I ordered the margarita and it was amazing! They add cinnamon to it which sounds weird but it really went well with the flavors, I loved it! They make their own liqueurs and next time I go back I'm going to try one with the coffee liqueur. The bartender this night was so awesome! He really knew how to connect and chat with his customers, felt like we were all friends.

The best thing to do in Reno. Chill vibes and staff is amazing. Clair knows her shit--she's creative and you can tell she really cares about making unique, quality cocktails. My friend and I went there for drinks a week ago and then came back today to take a holiday cocktail/mocktail making class from her. We learned a lot, the drinks were bomb, and we even got to decorate the glasses and take them home (see pic). Joe, the owner, is also super nice--you can tell the staff cares about keeping their customers happy. Overall, I think we found our new spot!!!

FANTASTIC venue with delicious drinks and great management. We held an event here last winter and working with them to coordinate was easy and a wonderful experience. I appreciate their flexibility, patience, creativity, and fun demeanors. They were so happy to support our cause and help us!
