New York Distilling Co.

Such a cool stop! We happened to be walking by and decided to drop in spontaneously. The room is small, but has ample seating for a reasonable amount of people. There’s a large glass window looking into the distillery to see some of the process. The inside is decorated with a modern industrial vibe and has a very large bar with a lot of different options. We ordered off of their drink menu, and we’re completely impressed with the quality of their drinks as much as their liquor itself. Their liquor prices were exactly what you’d expect for a decent bottle of alcohol.

The free tour was amazing! They offer eight samples and give you a full background on gin and how to get the flavors out of the drink. The Dorothy Parker with rose was by far my friends and mine favorite. The tour was informative and fun!

Great staff that are well versed in their history of gin and rye distillery, and happen to to turn out excellent product of their own. They have a great side bar called the Shanty offering mixed cocktails and above average draft, and they also have excellent events on their calendar that are worth looking out for. You are guaranteed a great relaxing and informative time. Make it a stop on your visit to NYC or even if you live here.

This is the ideal spot for hosting an event. We booked it for a networking and staff event and it was amazing. The space is huge with a long bar, plenty of seating, and cool views of the distillery equipment and exposed brick. Lots of natural light and in a hip neighborhood steps from the L train. The staff went out of their way to make sure our event was stellar. We will definitely rent it again and treat our VIPs to a tour!

I tracked down the elusive Dorothy Parker in New Orleans! I could not find it known, or for sale in upstate NY. I first fell in love with it at The Maker bar in Hudson and asked after.'her' everywhere thereafter with no luck. On holiday in N.O. I began the search anew...in five stores and every restaurant I was met by blank states. Finally, a groovy, special wine store in the Margny neighborhood had two bottle! Ha!! Now, the have none. Nyah, nyah, nyah!! Try it, if you can find it!!

The free tour here was on par with tours you pay $15 for at other distilleries. It's particularly good for understanding the difference between whiskeys and grain neutral spirits like gin because they produce both there. They're even more generous with the samples than the paid tour I've been on. I didn't sample everything because one of the gin varieties is over 505 alcohol, and it really packs a punch. Be prepared, though, the room in which you are given the tour is very cold, so you should dress accordingly.

They have FREE tours that include 8 generous samples within a 1 hour timeframe. I definitely did not walk in expecting a free tour, nor did I expect free tastes of that many different products, but I walked out very satisfied and very inebriated. It was a very pleasant surprise and I really enjoyed the tour as the guide did not waste any time going on about the basics which I've already heard every tour I've gone on. In the bar area, they sometimes have live music which is another nice touch. Definitely will be back!

Fantastic tour and presentation of the distilling process. Excellent date place because after the tour you can stay for amazing cocktails at the Shanty (next door) and have lots to talk about since you just learned about all the different types of gin they serve. Very fun, very cool.
