ISCO

These Are America's Next Great Food Cities

"The city's first distillery since Prohibition, crafting inventive spirits including an oyster vodka and supporting a local craft spirits revival." - Regan Stephens

Providence Is the New Nightlife Capital of the U.S. - AFAR

"A modern distillery and tasting-room destination producing sustainably sourced vodka, bourbon, aquavit, and gin, notable for one-of-a-kind bottles such as an oyster-infused vodka labeled with the specific Rhode Island oyster farm used. Guests can take tours, enjoy cocktails and live music in the tasting room or outdoor bar, and attend events ranging from karaoke to themed social nights—creating a spirited, communal atmosphere that often gets lively on weekends." - Ellen Carpenter

Industrious Spirit Company - Review - Olneyville - Providence - The Infatuation

"If you think vodka is the worst spirit, you haven’t been to ISCO yet. The urban distillery’s version, made with corn from upstate New York, is smooth and balanced, without the typical burn that’s associated with vodka. They’ve changed our minds if that counts for anything. If you’re adventurous and like dirty martinis, check out their Ostreida vodka, brewed with local oysters. For folks who don’t want a drink that tastes like the ocean, the bar also has a rotating list of sweet, boozy, bitter, and frozen cocktails. Whatever you choose, soak up the urban factory setting at a fire pit on the patio, and maybe even order a pizza from Lost Valley Pizza just across the street." - Grace Kelly

"Come for the drinks, stay for the terrific food pop-ups. The owners of this distillery — Providence’s first since Prohibition — in the booming Valley neighborhood make gin, vodka, and bourbon on-site. They currently serve their spirits fashioned into cocktails on a spacious, open-air patio outside the distillery. On weekends, pair them with food from rotating pop-ups such as Bintimani West African Kitchen and the Afro-Indigenous Vegan." - Jenna Pelletier

Providence’s first distillery since Prohibition pours inventive cocktails on a firepit patio and hosts tours and pop-ups; noted by Eater and local critics for community-minded spirits.
