2bar Spirits

A friend told me about 2bar and their delicious bourbon so I decided to give it a try. We went during tasting hours and happened to catch the distiller in production. Throughout the tasting he gave us a tour and explained the distillation process to us. This was the first distiller to explain to me the head, heart, and tails of the process. At the time the batch was at the end of the head and transitioning to the heart (the good stuff). We learned a lot during our visit and left with a bottle of bourbon.

I had the pleasure of going on a free tour of 2Bar Spirits recently with some fellow Yelpers, organized by Katy H. The owner named the distillery for his family ranch. It's small, squeaky clean, has a great story, and is a cool way to learn about how your liquor of choice (mine is bourbon) is made. I learned about the heads, hearts and tails of making the fine brown liquid, sniffed the pretty potent methane heads that they use as a cleaning product, and listened to details about the barrel char. Granted, I should have recorded the session because I don't remember enough! And we tasted - vodka, moonshine, bourbon. The bourbon was so smooth and lovely. I bought a bottle to give as a gift, but uh...I ended up gifting myself. I shared some, in the spirit of the holidays. Go check out this local distillery. Yeah it's not in the most happening location. But it's worth the trek. Ask questions, learn about how spirits are made. Take notes and then impress your friends with all that you know. And I bet when you sip that 2Bar bourbon (or vodka or moonshine) you will savor it even more, having learned about the intricacies of its creation.

My bf and I came here with an Amazon Local deal for their distillery tour Saturday afternoon. Wow, their vodka is delicious! Smooth, clean, strong. It had a unique finish that is indescribable. I love my vodka and am a huge fan of theirs.We moved onto the moonshine. This was my first time ever trying it and it tasted like whiskey! It was basically a white whiskey.We ended up buying a bottle of each because we liked it so much. This company is very meticulous and detailed as to how they make their liquor. We're huge fans and I highly, highly recommend everyone try their liquor. We also found out that they source 95% of their items locally! Local corn, local snacks, local everything :) We were told they sell their liquor at Metropolitan Market and Bev Mo's so if you're unable to come by to buy a bottle, go there. Two thumbs up!

I don't have experience in this industry aside from consumption so calibrate this review accordingly. Kevin entertained us with tastes of everything and educated us on each - He's a very personable guy. I bought a bottle of whiskey after taking an entire year off drinking - I wanted something special to enjoy instead of getting wasted on. I'm putting those days behind me. I'm very very very pleased with my personal choice in beverage for this year. Cheers and God Bless.

2 Bar Spirits is awesome... and let me tell you why!Everyone... and I mean everyone... there is awesome! You will be greeted warmly when you arrive. And leave feeling like you are part of the 2 Bar family.If you get a chance to check out the "behind the scenes", the whole distilling process is pretty cool. The distillers are on hand to tell you all about it... The tasting room is great! They currently have vodka and moonshine to try (and bring home!) with gin and other spirits coming soon. The BF and I love this place! We have been to a few of their awesome events, like their Thanksgiving party. They had a band perform, Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving was projected onto the wall, there was pie (PIE! Who doesn't love pie!). I heard they had a mechanical bull at one of their other events (sadly, we missed that one!) Not only do they make great spirits, they host super fun events (follow them on FB to find out when their next event will be held)And, if you are in need of very unique venue for your next event, hit them up! 2 Bar Spirits would be a great place to host a party for fun or for work!With distillaries beginning to pop up throughout Seattle, 2 Bar Spirits is definitely one you won't want to miss.

I visited 2bar Spirits for a free tour and tasting through Yelp and had a great time. Their vodka is my favorite, with a distinct grainy taste that I really love. The moonshine is strong, honestly a little too strong for my taste, but I enjoyed getting to taste it. The bourbon is delicious. I learned so much about bourbon casks while on the tour that I actually don't really remember much of what they told me about their bourbon, but a lot about re-casking. Oops. I say go, especially if you have the opportunity to tour and taste what 2bar has to offer!

Such a great place to visit! I love keeping things local and place truly impressed me. The staff was very knowledgeable, attentive and gave us an excellent tour. The alcohol tasting was part of a Groupon deal and was quite the steal if you ask me (tasting for two, two shot glasses & a delish cookie made at a locally bakery). It was so sweet to hear the stories of the family and how they got out to this area. Immediately following the tour I was contacted by the owner asking how the tour went, which I think is an added bonus. We've been hoarding our bourbon because it's something special. And we don't normally drink vodka but it was so good we actually bought a bottle! If you're looking for great tasting local liquor I would highly recommend 2 Bar spirits!

2bar is a winner for two reasons: good booze, good people.Making our way through the Sodo beer/wine/liquor makers, we made a point to hit 2bar as one of the few distilleries. We were not disappointed, each sampling was tasty and we left with a bottle of whiskey and a bottle of moonshine.We stopped by in the late afternoon on a Friday. We had the place to ourselves but for one of the distillers who was on broom duty. He talked us through all their offerings and gave us an impromptu behind-the-scenes tour.Good booze, good people. If you're drinking your way through Sodo, make sure you stop here.

Down in the bowels of Sodo is this amazing distillery. Clean as a whistle and employees as chipper as chipmunks with a product to match.. how can one go wrong?You must note that because this is out of the way for a lot of Seattle folk, it is easy to miss and forget about. It is within a strip mall a few blocks past the stadiums. There's not a lot of excitement going on and if you're driving you're likely to whiz right by it without ever being the wiser. It is definitely worth a visit. Travis took us on a tour of the distillery, let us inhale toxic chemicals and showed us all the available products. They make some damn good stuff! Available was their vokda, bourbon whiskey, and even moonshine. Allow them to dispel all the horrible folklore of what moonshine actually is or is not. Obviously it isn't illegal, and I still have my eyesight as evidenced by this review so.. you should go in and try some out.Spirit yourself away!

My first Yelp event.We had a tasting here and the host was very knowledgeable about whiskey, moonshine and all the good stuff. They started a couple of years ago here at this location.We had their vodka which tasted like moonshine to me, but to my wife, it tasted like tequila. We also had their moonshine, which was good and strong, not as bad as the other corn whiskeys we had, but it was strong. We had their bourbon as well and it had tasty oak notes to it.Their prices are what you would expect for the quality they bring to their customers.A cool spot. I also heard if you pay attention to their facebook page, you can sign up and come in to help them in bottling and afterwards bring back liquor for self.
