Their whisky flights and gin flights were great. Loved their Rickhouse and Joe273 Montana for their Cask Strength, while their Deep Umami Gin was great too.

I love coming to Gold Bar Whiskey Distillery. I have attended SoFar events and the start of Juneteenth. Amazing venue, and staff is always helpful and accommodating. Will definitely be back soon.

The Gold Bar Distillery is a fantastic spot to spend the day or evening on Treasure Island. Whether you're planning a date night or just hanging out with friends, this place has something for everyone. The ocean views are stunning, and the sunsets are simply gorgeous. The distillery offers a variety of fun events, making each visit unique. Their whiskey is delicious—so much so that I enjoyed it poured over my ice cream, which added a wonderful flavor twist. As a 49ers fan, I especially appreciated the events they hold for fellow fans, and the sangria served on my visit was delightful. What made the day even better was taking the ferry from San Francisco to Treasure Island. It was a convenient and enjoyable way to travel, and who doesn’t love a ferry ride? I highly recommend The Gold Bar Distillery for a great time with family, friends, or for a memorable date night.

Wow. What a spot! 😧 we just happen to walk into the building and discover it. I loved the building architecture and the bar inside is such a surprise and a brilliant location! Can’t wait to go back.

Really would've loved to give 5 stars but, unfortunately my experience was not so great! The class started late due to ppl arriving late ,then we were interrupted by a large party that arrived at least 20 minutes late 😑 someone went live on his cellphone disrupting the class ,over talking the instructor the entire time. I felt overlooked on more than one occasion.

I would’ve never known this was at Treasure Island if it wasn’t for the an event we were Invited to. With the event we were able to take a mini tour of the building and then was able to do a tasting of the gold bar whiskey. Im not a whiskey connoisseur but I really liked them all. It tasted smooth, not too sweet and can pair well with coca-cola. I bought a few of their mini gold bars, it was too cute to pass up. The bar itself is beautiful and if course you see gold everywhere but its not the type that hurt your eyes. It’s tastefully decorated. Now the parking says it’s limited time so follow rules accordingly lol. If you don’t want to worry about parking take the ferry, it cost like $5. The service was great! All the staff were friendly.

Weston was the best teacher for our class. I happened to win the cherry for best “drawing” on my whiskey sour. So fun!! He was great with letting us all take photos and videos of him during the instructions and he also took the time to help all the students take photos of their groups during the drink making. He made the class so much fun for our group! We appreciate his knowledge and experience about the cocktails and the history of treasure island.

My wife booked a cocktail making class and it was such a great experience. Jeff was knowledgeable and fun throughout the entire class. The class was based on making classic cocktails such as an old fashion, whiskey sour and a paper airplane. We walked away feeling like we learned something but more importantly, drunk ;) thanks Jeff!

What a gem! Looking for something other than Sausalito, book an intimate cocktail class. Never had a whiskey sour so good and I made it. I'm so glad we got to see this historical location and can't wait to come back to see it's future development and do the gin cocktail class. Thank You Will Powell, our excellent bartender mixologist extraordinare!

If you're looking for an adventure as well as a unique experience that'll set the mood for your day/weekend, Gold Bar Distillery is the place for you! Me and my girlfriend had the pleasure to visit for the first time last weekend to celebrate our anniversary and it did not disappoint. We took the ferry from SF's ferry building to treasure island (also first time) which was a unique experience all its own. Upon arriving to the island, we saw a huge white building in front of us where Gold Bar is located. As soon as we entered the building we were greeted by a huge mural showing decades of history and the significance of Treasure Island throughout the decades. To the right of the entrance is where Gold Bar is located which you can't miss because of its beautiful ambiance and decor. I found out about this place and saw that they offered an interactive cocktail making class! Booked it for 1230 on Saturday which we were a bit early to so we hung out at the bar. As we were seated, the staff was so accommodating making sure we were taken care of. Every staff member asked how we were doing and if we needed anything. Brandon, who was our bartender/cocktail making instructor, greeted us while he was getting everything ready. From the start his energy and vibe set the tone and I knew we were going to have a great time! We all got to our mixing stations and he introduced himself sharing with the group his experiences and how long he's been a master at his craft. Now I don't want to give the whole thing away because I would love for you all to enjoy and experience it yourself but I will say that I learned so much about the science and art of bartending because of Brandon's professionalism and expertise. He explained everything throughly, answered questions our group had, asked questions himself to test our knowledge, and encouraged us throughout the whole class. He was patient and took the time to help us in case we missed something or if we needed to open up our shakers after mixing haha. There was one cocktail we made specifically which I will have to toot my horn and say I did a real good job making and Brandon approved! To everyone who loves trying new experiences, drinking delicious cocktails, and having the best instructor teach you in the process, I would 100% recommend Gold Bar Distillery for this interactive cocktail making class with Brandon! We will definitely be coming back here soon with a big group of our friends and of course requesting our guy Brandon!

I never knew this distillery was here until we stopped in before settling in to watch the Blue Angels. As luck would have it, the cloud cover was too thick and the Blue Angels did not perform. There were some aircrafts performing, but the main event was postponed until the next day. We were not totally disappointed, we had the opportunity to sit and relax and enjoy tastings of some great whiskey. Our Server was so gracious and had such knowledge of the facility and even shared with us some upcoming events. We look forward to enjoying their spirits in the summer time while listening to great music and even watching movies in the parking lot. During the winter months we can enjoy the indoor atmosphere and the many screens that show the local sports teams. I would encourage anyone that wants to do a tasting, don't delay. Do it! This place has a fun vibe and allows you to have an intimate or group tasting. See you soon Gold Bar!

I was invited for a Yelp event here at Gold Bar and a tour around the distillery. For the event we were able to try a flight and one of the signature cocktails Here's the flight: Gold Bar Whiskey the Original Gold Bar Black Double Cask Bourbon Gold Bar Rickhouse Cask Strength Bourbon (highly recommend) I love Manhattan cocktails and really enjoyed their Cask Strength Manhattan! Mostly because it was made with Gold Bar Whiskey Rickhouse Bourbon. Great views! I use the bus from Saleforce transit but next time will be taking the Ferry instead and will be bringing my camera for better pictures

Gold Bar Distillery was the preliminary spot before dinner and it was a beautiful experience. They manufacture the gin and bourbon in house and provide flight tastings for both the house gin and bourbon. The cocktails are beautifully crafted to perfection with at least 1 ounce of liquor in each sample. The Bourbon tasting included the Cold brew Old Fashion, Joe Montana signature drink, and a Manhattan. The food menu looked really good, we ordered the dumplings which were delicious. We also purchased house made bourbon and gin while we were there. We will definitely be going to this bar again in the future.

Gold Bar Distillery has a beautiful location and stunning views. I particularly enjoyed my cocktail, which was not only delicious but also had a nice presentation. The bartender was super friendly and shared that they offer a whiskey tasting/ cocktail class that seemed pretty cool. Whether you're a cocktail/whiskey enthusiast or just looking for a great spot to unwind with a nice view, this place delivers on all fronts.

Food: UGG. Best Grilled Cheese was the claim. Not! The Tomato soup? More like Tomato Sauce. Booze: I bought a bottle of Gin but was unable to taste it first because I was the DD, but I always try different options to support local. I got home and it tasted like Ass. Yuck. I've been drinking Gin Martini's my whole adult life, and this was undrinkable.

This is such a great place to relax with a nice joe Montana cocktail and food while enjoying the beautiful view of San Francisco on treasure island. They have some real cool 49er pictures and of course the GOAT himself Joe Montana. He makes a real good whiskey. The food is amazing as well. I can't wait to come back again.

I was out and about and decided to try Gold Bar for a happy hour drink. I entered the treasure island building and found the bar to my right. I was greeted by staff and sat at the bar. I was greeted by the bartender who was very friendly and helpful. I ordered a cold brew old fashioned. This drink was very flavorful and refreshing. I looked at the food menu and it was very impressive. The drink menu was very impressive too. The ambiance is very nice and customer friendly. This is a place to get a good drink and a good meal. I will be back to try the food but from what I heard the food is good too.

Great place to visit if you would like to enjoy your time outside of the city and want to try a new whiskey especially if you are looking for an approachable place by ferry or car. I booked the Sunset Distillery with Local Whiskey or Cocktail Tasting and it is held as a group and started as with introductory of the bar along with the first tasting experience of whiskey from the barrel. After about 20 minutes of Whiskey 101, we were served with 4 different bourbons within the range of 80 to 105 proof (or 3 cocktail drinks) to start with along with light snack of nuts and olives. Then after about 10 minutes of history of Treasure Island, we were also introduced with several new tasting bourbon/whiskies as well. With tasting, we ordered lobster and crab corndog from the menu, which were great which I would recommend if you want to eat something quick to cover high proof drinks. I believe the experience is great to start with if you want to learn little more about the history of the distillery and new to the whiskey and bourbon world. Overall I had good service and would like to visit the place again to try their cocktails and ice cream. Only wish is would be I believe this experience would be nicer if it was held outside of the venue if possible during the Summer (at least) for more Sunset experience and lighter food choices e.g. sides like chips, salad, or fries for those who aren't too hungry or crave for a heavy meal. Can't wait to visit the place again.

Very great service! Bartenders were knowledgeable and personable. Charcuterie Board had great variety and everything was tasty. We sat inside, but the bartender says they place chairs out front during the weekends and there is a great the view of the SF skyline from there. Wasn't crazy about the building, but I heard they're opening a new site on Treasure Island by the end of the year so excited to check that out.

Ambiance and view: located on treasure island, this bar is perfect to stop by if you're on the island. The bar is pretty casual, however it feels a lot more upscale due to the beautiful skyline of the city if you choose to sit on the patio. Drinks: they are known for their whiskey. They offer Bloody Marys along with espresso martini's made with whiskey instead of vodka. They actually sell their gold bar whiskey at total wine, so you may have tried their spirits before. We chose to get the "flight club" it came with 3 signature half cocktails along with a free T-shirt (in black or white). For only $25f it was a great deal. Food: they offered some small bites. Our group got the soup dumplings and enjoyed it! Service: they were very attentive and knowledgeable. Overall: this place has ample parking and is dog friendly. Would totally revisit next time we are on treasure island.

I first heard about Gold Bar Whiskey through an invitation to their happy hour. The whiskey, small bites, and beautiful view of treasure Island captivated me! About six months later, I decided that I wanted to host my big milestone birthday at this venue in a speakeasy theme. I booked a private party for about 75+ guests. The venue was very reasonably priced, charging for each hour of rental. You can also bring in external vendors (for a fee) which a lot of venues I researched did not allow. Their event manager, Arielle was a pleasure to work with. She met me in person to walk the space and drew out the map of the event. Arielle asked detailed questions to make sure she knew the run of events, placements of vendors, and what equipment was required. The venue provided a stage, tables, utensils, tablecloths, warming trays, easels, and gold frames for our signage. They were very accommodating to what we needed. And, we're able to display a custom slide show too! I can't stop raving about the food and drinks. They had delicious small bites such as their truffle tarts, lobster and crab corn dogs, pork sliders, and soup dumplings with a black vinegar sauce aged in used whiskey barrels! The venue made specially crafted menus for my big day where I could pick the cocktails I wanted to feature and name them. I'm a whiskey drinker so I loved their options. And, my husband is a gin drinker and likewise appreciated their gin options! Overall this was a spectacular birthday and I wouldn't have wanted to celebrate this anywhere else!! The decor is so beautiful and I didn't need to add much to the ambiance. I highly recommend this location for a private party, or just for a casual drink and food!

Very nice location right off the bay bridge so you get a great view of the whole city. The bar area is nice and has plenty of seating. I didn't notice a full kitchen but they do offer snacks like popcorn. If your looking a day to just getaway have some good drink with a view i recommend this location before winter.

I would come for the whiskey and grilled cheese but stay away form the gin cocktails flight as something tasted a little weird in the gin flight drinks (everyone at the table agreed). However, loved the straight whiskey flight, that the place is dog friendly and you get a cool t shirt with the flight! Will definitely be back.

I went to a public Yelp event hosted by Gold Bar and it was so fun! We started with a whiskey tasting - Rickhouse Cask Strength Bourbon was my favorite because it had a rich flavor. Next was a barrel tasting followed by a historical tour of Building One on Treasure Island. Trivia fact: Treasure Island was built was for the Golden Gate International Expedition in 1939. Ended with munching on samples from various BBQ vendors at the food truck fair while gazing at SF. All in all, a wonderful afternoon. You know Gold Bar is doing well cuz they're the official whiskey of the 49ers!!

Food - I'm not much of a drinker, but I came here with my friends who were here for the whiskey and gin. Ordered the lobster and crab corn dogs. They were ok. First, they looked kind of small. The filling was also a bit too fishy for my liking and felt mushy. Aioli sauce was good but I didn't really like and didn't even finish my two small corn dogs. You also get a free t-shirt if you order a certain combination of alcohol but the shirt wasn't super cute imo. Service - good, prompt seating and service. Friendly. Ambiance - nice cute spot in a big building. Things were really spaced out (e.g. bathroom was super far at the end of the hall, etc) but the vibe was cute.

A hidden gem of a place located on Treasure Island. Once you walk into the visitors center, you will see a few local establishments located inside and see the distillery. Be sure to have a flight, and take home a gold bar filled with their house whiskey as a souvenir (perfect gift for the whiskey connoisseur). Perfect place after dining at Mersea down the road.

Cool bar in the middle of Treasure Island. If you've ever seen the OA definitely gives the nostalgia being inside the building. Had the whiskey flight & bartender was very attentive as well as knowledgeable with the menu. Also received a free shirt when ordering the flight cool design on the back. If you are looking for a laid back environment with some good drinks venture into the island. Great pit stop after visiting Treasurefest

Took a trip to Treasure Island solely for the Gold Bar Distillery. My wife and I saw some brochures about the Distillery while walking through the Ferry Building. We took the ferry boat to treasure island and immediately headed towards the gold bar. As we entered the establishment we were greeted by gold, old timey, and San Francisco vibes. The area is very inviting to sit down, relax, and sip on some really good whiskey. We tried two flights, ordered some soup dumplings, grilled cheese, and tomato soup. What a good combination! The whiskey flights were very delicious and the flight that comes straight out of the barrel adds a whole other level! The grilled cheese and tomato soup are perfect! I'm a new fan of the gold bar Distillery and will be returning again!

I booked the cocktail class + whiskey tasting for my husband and I as a Christmas gift. It was such a great experience! Jeff was a wonderful teacher and had so much knowledge to share. We made a whiskey sour, old fashioned, and a paper plane. All were delicious. The bar area is beautiful and has old school vibes. Every staff member was friendly and helpful. We left with a bottle of gin as they sell both whiskey and gin by the bottle. Would love to come back for more drinks at the bar in the future!

Finally was able to make it.. Golf Bar Distillery has been on my list of places to go to since they opened last year. I got tickets to the bbq festival and made my way over.. Omg I was so mad it took me so long to get here.. the views of treasure island were amazing..this set up was perfect . Outside seating is very comfortable with an amazing view the bridge and to mention the ferry stops right in front of the distillery then take a short walk across the street . It's a small parking lot in front with some outside seating. can have a seat inside at the glamorous bar.. it's the Perfect bar to watch the game or just hang out. Me and my friends did the whisky tasting.. my first ever whiskey tasting definitely recommending it.. education and shots.. I had to ask for a back of ginger ale .. I'm not a shot gurl ..bar has plenty of good photos oops and a Photo Booth as well.. we also too a tour and got a chance to try a whiskey they had on promotion.. I ordered a whiskey Paloma.. Which was very good.. I'd def come back for another drunk or a group outing with friends..

Went to Gold Bar to celebrate our cousins bday with some whiskey tastings and we were pleasantly surprised on how nice Gold Bar Distellery is set up. The whiskey and bourbon are extremely tasty and good. We weren't too sure what to expect since the weather was a bit foggy but the service and tasting was amazing. Nick and West were super knowledgeable and friendly. They walked us through the whiskey and whiskey cocktail tastings and explained everything to us. I highly recommend this spot to anyone that wants to have a nice time. We took the Ferry from SF (8minute ride) and the distellery is literally across the street from the ferry dock so easy in and out and you don't have to worry about driving in.

The building is gorgeous, the views are amazing, food was delicious and of course, the Gold Bar Whiskey was great. I highly suggest doing a whiskey tasting at the bar and trying some of the handcrafted cocktails. Definitely going back!

Wonderful signature cocktails. Bartenders are friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Great views of SF and Oaktown. Perfect stop before you hit the city or the town for a fun time. Gins are not grain based so if you're like me and have to watch the grains Pacific House is a great tasting addition to your shelf.

TLDR: slow service, bad food, even worse drinks. Husband and I ventured over to TI on a whim and ended up here. Neither of us were fans. Service was initially prompt and we ordered the Gold Coin Waffle Iron Grilled Cheese, and the "Millionaire" Corndog. For drinks, I got the cocktail sampler and my husband ordered their whiskey flight. The grilled cheese came out pretty quickly as did my cocktail sampler. The grilled cheese is advertised on the menu as being made in a waffle iron and taking the shape of a gold coin. It was just a regular square grilled cheese and very greasy, as was the congealed tomato soup it same with. The cocktail sampler came with the Golden Joe, their manhattan, and some cold brew old fashioned I didn't see on the menu. It was also supposed to come with a free t shirt, but I never got it and honestly wasn't upset about it after our experience here. The golden Joe was light and refreshing. The other two were not good. The manhattan had too much vermouth and the old fashioned too much sugar and bitters. After all of this, my husband still had not received his whiskey flight even though a table of five who came after us received theirs. Our waitress also disappeared after bringing my cocktail sampler and there was no one to flag down to ask. When the bartender brought the corn dogs, my husband asked about his flight and the bartender said he'd get it. The corn dogs were awful. I hate to waste food and will generally eat most things rather than let it be thrown out. I took two bites and regretted both. It wasn't crispy and the stuffing tasted nothing like lobster but cheap frozen fish stick filling. Finally, they brought my husband's flight. The glasses were warm like they had just come out of the dishwasher. I will say we are both bourbon and whiskey snobs but the whiskey here is not good. This is whiskey for people who think a gold package makes a whiskey good. Don't believe me? Go check out their reviews on the app Distiller. Their rickhouse bourbon has a 2.28/5 and the gold bar American whiskey a 3.08. The worst part is after tip this was a $120. I've never spent $100 in a worse way and I once put $100 on red in Vegas and immediately lost it.

The Gold Bar Distillery is a hidden gem on Treasure Island. I almost didn't want to write a review for fear it would be found out but the owners, Allison & Elliott, are so wonderful I have to. To begin with, the ambiance at Gold Bar is beautiful. A cozy lounge feel with an amazing view of San Francisco. And it's located in the historic Panam building, which is a unique spot, it's been featured in a few movies and reality shows. The cocktails are beautifully crafted with locally made Gold Bar whiskey and Pacific House gin. My favorite is their whiskey sour. Lastly, the food. I haven't had the opportunity to try everything yet but so far my favorites are the whiskey ice cream cone with gold drip and the lobster corn dog. Yum! It's a great meeting place for friends from Oakland and San Francisco. And the ferry docks right outside. Check it out!

The evening started off good but quickly turned horrible. The service started out okay but the moment a few people started to arrive the service turned HORRIBLE!!! I mean absolutely HORRENDOUS! We were totally ignored. I asked to order a drink and the server brush me off. The catered to just one table and literally ignored everyone else. Such a horrible experience that really could have been nice if the service was better. Absolutely disappointed!

Absolutely love this place! The ambiance is so beautiful. All the servers were SO kind and knowledgeable about the drinks, food, but also the building itself, we loved learning about the history. We had the best time here, the sandwich and the tomato soup were some of the best I have had in a long time. And of course the drinks were delicious. We decided to buy a ticket for their BBQ food festival, can't wait to go back.

Amazing cocktails of all kind! NOW AMAZING FOOD by Master Chef Xavier. Service and staff are incredible. Charming and beautiful mixologists Devina and Samantha make the most incredible cocktails. Managers Sam and Roxie always give 5 star service and make everyone feel like royalty. My favorite must try cocktails are the Crispy Pig Bloody Mary and Espresso Martini. Master chef and former chef at Tartine Bakery makes incredible savory dishes and baked desserts. Must try the lobster Millionaire Corndog. Amazing! The home made tomato soup best we've ever tried. The Steamed dim sum soup dumpling are so good. And the homemade rich soft serve ice cream is a divine pair with the incredible huge brownies or pasteries. My wife likes the scones. We take the Prop SF ferry from the SF Ferry Building. Only $5 it's a steal and 7 min ride with amazing views! Drops us off right at the building. And the Captian gave us each a $5 gift card to Gold bar! This place is a best kept secret on the bay!

The sandwich was ok. Like the thick slices of turkey but the cheese could be thinner and cover whole sandwich. Also the bread broken into pieces and they do not have mayo only the spicy aioli.

We were fortunate enough to stop by Gold Bar on our way home from the City back to the East Bay. It was an all around delightful experience! The service was above and beyond! Steven the bartender was personable, knowledgeable and made a delicious Manhattan and Old Fashioned! Both drinks were perfectly concocted with just the right balance creating a smooth and easy drinking libation. Their variety of gin and whiskey are aesthetically pleasing with The charcuterie board was presented beautifully! They offer an olive + nut bar snack duo in a classic old school dish bringing you back to the old days of classic SF Bars. Their offerings of take home bottles are great for gifting with nice packaging and local touches (for any SF 49er & Cal Bear fan) We will definitely be back to enjoy more crafted cocktails, friendly staff, lBourbon infused ice cream, and whiskey and food tastings. We loved this hidden gem on Treasure Island and look forward to visiting them as they expand over to Alameda as well !!! Cheers

I have drank a lot of good whiskey in my life all the Johnny Walkers from Red to Green to Gold and up. I drink only the best of the best scotch/whiskey. I am Amazed that I found the Best TASTING Scotch Whiskey in the world & I can not tell you that do not waste money on the expensive stuff, Gold is Platinum it is really EXTRAORDINARY, very Smooth no bitter after taste. Only one thing order few bottles, it's that good. I had the privilege of trying their Bourbon, I'm not a bourbon guy but this company makes it so good that I'm a bourbon drinker also. I give great admiration to Sam who is a great representative for the company. Me & my family are ordering so much because people will be amazed at the 5 taste. Run and taste the Rolls Royce of Whiskey....

We've hosted a private event at the Treasure Island Museum and Gold Bar Distillery the last 2 years in a row and its always fantastic. The cocktails are delicious, the staff is easy to work with and very helpful. They always ensure they're acting on our vision. The venue is spacious, the views are gorgeous, and everyone has a great time. Thank you Gold Bar!
