Ann Arbor Distilling Company

Been here a number of times and still hadn't reviewed! Cool industrial vibe here with lots of outdoor seating. A lovely place for happy hour or to play hooky from work. Or be here at a normal time for normal reasons, haha.Cocktails are always decent, though maybe a bit overwrought and on the sweet side. Can't say I can always taste all the ingredients they put in. Sometimes simple can be best. The N/A watermelon spritz I had didn't have much flavor. Could have used less spritz, I guess.Today specifically we came for the Tacos El Panda truck; they have great birria and we fancied a cocktail as well. In the past we also enjoyed the Juicy Oyster truck.

OK, so this place is adorable! I'm so excited we were able to come.No food, but there are some bar snacks! Service was amazing. If you have lots of time or people, mix and match some flights, and compare the cocktails. The gin options are delicious, and so are the different liqueurs (we ended up fighting over the blackberry and coffee)! Definitely plan on taking some home.

Excellent cocktails, tonnes of outdoor seating, nice and helpful bartenders...what more can you ask for? Currently sipping on a decently priced, fantastically-made martini with their winter gin, which was described as a pretty typical dry gin and I would agree. I ordered off menu but the menu itself is pretty interesting and has quite a few intriguing cocktails to try. All are 20% off during happy hour (2-5pm).They have wifi as well and the info is posted on the menu behind the bar. The location is good - off the beaten path by a block or two so it's quiet and not super overrun, but close enough that you can easily combine with zingermans etc

Craft cocktails made from house made spirits, lots of outdoor seating, lots of parking, food truck popups, and it's dog friendly. What else could you ask for?We went on a weekend night when Deutsch Troit German food was the pop up. The food was great and we enjoyed the summer mule and the non-alcoholic drink, too. They have a large tent outside for those who want covered seating as well as tables that are in the sun. Definitely, a great place to eat some dinner and have a great cocktail.

Not only were the cocktails here creative and delicious but the staff was incredibly knowledgeable and social. Ended up buying a few bottles and cannot wait to come back for our next visit. The only downside to this place is that it's not close to my home.

We came here to start our date night off with some long awaited drinks. It was our first visit, and we highly anticipated this stop. The staff was very accommodating in answering all of our questions about their spirits and liqueurs. I tried a flight of 4 spirits, and my fiancé got the cocktail that was the "Giving Cocktail" that benefited the Huron Valley Humane Society. She forgot the name but it had cucumber, LOL, and I hade a Bourbon Bramble after my flight, both drinks outstanding.I wanted their Fall Gin, but they were out. Then like magic, a box appears on the bar and low and behold, Fall Gin!!! My Fiancé was interested in their rendition of Absinthe. One of the staff brought her a sample, then showed her this great trick for making it drinkable on the rocks.We ended up walking out with lighter pockets, but it was worth every penny!

Such a chill place to hang. There is minimal inside seating. They have a lot of tables outside to sit at. Amazing relaxed atmosphere.I can't remember which drinks I had. I know that I had two vodka drinks and they were very tastey. They have a great selection of liquors and make good craft drinks. Bring some friends, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere!

I had never been to the A2DC prior to this week when I dropped by to pick up a complimentary Moscow Mule Cocktail-To-Go in connection with a Yelp Elite event. In business for about 5 years, the local distillery is housed in an old brick building tucked into a residential neighborhood on Felch St. one block west of off North Main St. The site serves as the distillery itself as well as a rustic cocktail bar showcasing and serving its many varieties of spirits. While picking up my Moscow Mule, I was kindly offered a sample of their Limited Edition Barrel Reserve Spaulding's Coffee Liqueur. Yo!...I was immediately drawn in with the deliciously smooth flavor of this house-made concoction. It was so good, I immediately bought a full bottle on the spot to take home. A2DC also has extensive outside seating under tenting for those who prefer to nurse their cocktail under the stars. I'm glad to have stumbled on this Ann Arbor gem as it provides another excellent option to grab a quality cocktail while supporting a local business. Cheers!

Decided to check this place out before dinner yesterday. What a cute space! Very cozy and inviting. (Indoor and outdoor seating.) First, let me say besides the space being cool, the staff was awesome! They were friendly and made us feel at home. At one point, I felt like I was hanging at a friend's place rather than a business. Within our group, we ordered three different drinks and all were delicious! I can't stop thinking about the Camp Russian, and am planning on going back soon to get another one. (The marshmallow made me so happy!)Overall, five stars! Drinks, space and staff were all awesome and I would (and already have) highly recommend checking them out. Cheers!

Blink and you'll miss this place, but you should definitely look to find it! Located in an old industrial building, Ann Arbor Distilling Company is the perfect spot to get together with a small group of friends on a weekend night. When we arrived recently, there were already people congregated in the courtyard despite the slight chill, and a food cart selling hot dogs outside! While my friend and I had wanted to come and try their bourbon cocktails (being from Kentucky, it's almost obligatory!), but they were unfortunately out. We decided instead to grab something else on the menu, and I ended up sipping on an attractive drink called a Greyhound. The venue is spartan but rustic, with modern wreaths (for sale!) decorating the walls, wooden tables supported by old cask barrels, and high barstools. Live music was playing in one corner, something that the distillery brings in every weekend night. We swayed to the music, sipped, and chatted with our small group until we just had ice cubes left tinkling in our glasses. I'll look forward to my next visit here, and hope you check it out in the meantime as well!
