The Distillery is upstairs and doesn't have much lighting in it. It's dark inside with a long bar, a few seats, and several pool tables - no charge to play pool! So that's a plus. But it just didn't give us a feel inside of a bar we wanted to stay at very long. This place must be owned by the same people that own the strip club across the street, cuz the bartender was really pushing us to head over there, even telling us about their comparable drink prices and reasonable dance prices. However, we were perfectly happy just staying here for a short bit and playing free pool instead.

I meant to avoid this place like the plague after reading that one review about the dude with the pit bull. Yeah...that story was pretty disgusting, assuming it actually happened. And whilst I don't have any gross stories like that to tell, I CAN tell you that this place is so abysmal, it made me wish we could break into Anodyne, turn on the lights and shitty music, and shoot pool there instead. Alas, they were closed due to it being the 4th; whilst Distillery remained ostensibly open for some reason.Right up front I can tell you this place only has 3 redeeming qualities going for it..1.) The drinks and pool table rates are apparently dirt cheap.2.) The bartender was actually kinda cute and very accommodating.3.) The music was much better than Anodyne.Thusly accounting for the two stars I'm willing to grant them. But really, the biggest problems with this place are actually very simple problems. So I really can't be too forgiving.First of all, the cue sticks in this place are hot garbage. Granted, I always bring my own cue stick with me to any pool hall, that's beside the point. I had a chance to take a look at these things up close and most of them were either missing the counterweights on the back or just didn't feel right. Whatever the case, it reinvigorated my appreciation for ordering my own cue stick via eBay ages ago.Second caveat I would throw out to you guys: do NOT, under any circumstances...use the restrooms upstairs. My wife went to use them and said that not only could she NOT use the bathroom, but she also felt like throwing up by the time she walked out. The way she described it was gut wrenching. But to sum up, the whole thing reeked of piss.Third, and possibly the biggest problem of all...the alcohol selection is limited to pretty much domestic beer and hard liquor; no wine what so ever. I'm sorry. But they automatically lose points with me if they can't even supply wine. This is a basic and common form of alcohol. When smaller restaurants can't supply a full bar, they at LEAST supply beer and wine only.Oh and speaking of alcohol, I DID order a rum and coke. Let's just say it was the weakest form of carbonated piss water I've ever tasted. Or didn't taste...I'm not even sure if I was drinking regular coke or a wine cooler.My entire ticket for the night, after two rum and cokes and an hour and a half of playing pool came to a whopping total of....6 bucks. See what I mean about dirt cheap? I was grateful anyway because the so-called "rum" tasted like it was worth about 50 cents. I would have been better off drinking Listerine.Distillery gets 2 pathetic attempts at mixing a cocktail drink out of 5. But just to clarify, I definitely don't blame the bartender for this. She didn't really have much to work with and I kind of pity the folks who have no choice but to work here.Oh yeah...forgot to mention...they didn't even have an eight ball in the balls they gave us. They had this...white ball which was slightly redder than the actual...white..ball. *sigh* This pool hall sucks.

I have only two rules for bars to get a good rating from me. OK, three--but since smoking has become so yesterday, I can't blame a place for not having a smoking area. So the two rules are these: strong drinks, cheap price. These are probably very common rules among us drunks, so know that this expectation excludes pretentious wine bars or any place where I feel like I should be donning fake eyelashes and showing off tits. No, this only includes dive bars, which this place clearly is. It's dirty. It's questionable. The music and crowd leave much to be desired. This is my kind of bar, right? NO, because the drinks are weaker than Mary back in Winslow, AZ and they aren't cheap. I actually got sick of drinking because it was if I were just drinking glass after glass of sprite. My god. Not to mention, on New Years Eve, there was ONE bartender. ONE person for the whole bar. What kind of idiot staffs one bartender on the biggest drinking night of the year?I guess the best part of the whole experience was the disgusting upstairs bathroom, and then the announcement of a man pissing in the stairwell. Awesome. Well, it would have been had the drinks been good enough to make me think it was!

Well the police and credit card company said they cant so much so Distillery will likely continue to screw over customers. Please avoid for all reasons. Given all of the other negative reviews and the fact that in the 1.5 hr I was waiting for the Police outside no one went inside on a Friday evening I assume this place doesn't have much time.

So the distillery was ok The owner definitely needs to remodel this place due to the fact when you go in it looks like everything is falling apart and super super dusty it also looks like this place has never heard of a mop haha it has free games mostly pool tables and video game systems on the wall "PS3s but that's really it. If you go upstairs watch your step the carpet is peeling up and people on the upper floor kept tripping. I do feel like if they actually revamped this place it could actually be nice but in the meantime Id go to a different place also to add the cover is free here as well.

This is a cool little dive bar/pool hall. The scene is straight and the crowd is pretty mixed. The drinks are pretty good, and the pool tables are free.

At the beginning of my night at 12 we was getting good service then after the bartender got high or drunk... her eyes were half way open taking orders. Only gave us a whiskey Coke when we ordered a double then said it was because MY DAD was slurring.... Mind you it was because she told her coworker that "I accidentally made singles instead of doubles" then idk what the other girl said but my bartender came up to us and said " he sounded like he was slurring so I can only give you a single" mind you. I'm watching her pour the drink across the bar and the music got quiet while they was talkinghmmm suspicious... then the next hour the girl bartenders won't look at us : my dad, brother and me: at all.Back track: when she gave us the singles I didn't tip sin. Honestly I'm used to from where I am from where my bartenders are SOBER and they only cut off one person. Not all three

What more could you want in a bar? I paid $6 for a whiskey and coke and the pool is free.

If I could give zero stars I would. We had a great night the six of us, spent about $500.00 if not more collectively. The night was over and a good night, we were at food truck with hotdogs in front. The bartender sent out a customer we were chatting with well in the line for alcohol, that we had an open tab. Well we didn't, we paid up front for everything and did not have a tab open. This customer was more intoxicated then we were telling us we have to pay or we going to jail. We ask the security to validate her claims of skipping on on the bill. Security would not assist we had to get APD after the customer assaulted my sister in law and slapped her in the face. Well guess what we had a receipt and showed APD who assisted after staff wouldn't. Been there many times and never had a fellow customer chase and assault us because the bartender sent them. Was glad APD was able to assist us after the customer and 3 of her friends chased us to our car... Will not return which sucks because we normally go there when we have family in town. After my sister in law got assaulted will not take any visitors to this location.

I really like the free pool. However, this happened to me and I felt it could have been handled better. I forgot my wallet and an employee came and said I'd have to leave. My friends had just bought beers because we had just arrived, and they asked if they could finish their beers before I left. The employee said no, that he would have to escort me out. He showed me to the top of the stairs and no further. So I went down the stairs and sat on the bottom steps. He said I had to leave all the way, and I told him I was handicapped and needed a place to sit and wait (I physically can't stand up very long, and I had my cane and everything) and that I didn't want to sit on the cold and dirty concrete outside. He said I still had to go, so I ended up doing just that.
