The Marfa Spirit

I love this distillery/cocktail lounge so much. It's the perfect dessert gem.Rustic decor with indoor and outdoor seating.Perfectly curated cocktails made with house (their own) spirits.Here's a great bonus-buy a bottle, get a free drink!How great is that? Of course I bought a bottle of vodka to add to my house collection.Really high-quality cocktails that you'd find at any 4-5 star lounge. Affordable!It was really cool to mix it up with Marfa residents as well as other tourists.Knowledgeable and friendly staff.

If you find yourself in Marfa, Texas, and you're not stopping by Marfa Spirit Co, what are you even doing with your life? This place is a whole vibe--like someone took the essence of Marfa's artsy desert magic, bottled it, and then said, "Now let's add booze."First off, let's talk about the star of the show: the sotol. I didn't know much about sotol before coming here, but now I'm basically a self-declared sotol sommelier (read: I drank a lot of it and loved every second). It's smoky, earthy, and somehow manages to make you feel both fancy and rugged at the same time. Their cocktails are top-notch--think desert chic in a glass. The bar itself is as hip as you'd expect in Marfa. Picture an old, wooden cowboy saloon with JBL speakers and some neon. You could see a hip indie act here while tying your horse up outside.Ten out of ten, would drink again.

Great vibe, excellent drinks and food, and fabulous service = dang good time!Rustic wooden bar and full of charm, we ended up staying for two rounds of drinks. We would have stayed longer but there was no TV to watch the Red River Rivalry. The drinks here are amazing. Interesting mixes and concoctions make it hard to choose one so we didn't. Our lineup included:Margarita Strawberry Basil smashPaloma Salty Dog They have a few small bites! Definitely get the loaded chihuahua hot dog and chips & salsa. And get ready to have a good time!

Not to be missed! The service, ambiance and cocktails were fantastic! Our bartender was extremely knowledgeable. We had a group of 10 and each left with a bottle of Sotol. They were out of merch Although, I will either order or get upon my return someday. Definitely will be back! It was the perfect vibe to begin my 50th birthday shenanigans!

You have to go! The bar itself is a really nice spot with amazing service. I wish I remembered our bartender's name because she was awesome! The drinks were SO good and so unique. I totally recommend the Salty Dog. It's one of the best drinks I've ever had thanks to the pink peppercorn! They had plenty of merch and spirits to take home, so stock up while you're there. If we lived near Marfa, we'd be regulars.

We stopped in for a drink after a long day of driving/traveling home to Austin and it was exactly what we needed. As soon as you walk in the vibes are great. Super cute and welcoming inside. Mimi made sure we were taken care of with delicious drinks and her playlist was perfect. She was also so sweet to chat with. We felt right at home and have already told our friends they need to stop in if they are ever in town. We will definitely be back as well. Thank you, Mimi!

Laura is the best bar tender I've ever been served by. The drinks are phenomenal. Try the mezcal (not too smoky)

Our bartender, Nathan was tremendously knowledgeable and friendly, and made some delightful cocktails. The highlight for me was learning about Sotol, which was an exciting discovery, and new favorite - thank you Nathan!

I work in the service industry and have to say, this is the worst service I've received in a long time. Completely inattentive and our empty glasses and garbage sat in front of us for over 30 mins. I had to collect our empties and put it to the side for them to notice. If you know good tequila and mezcal you would know this is not it. I didn't have high expectations since this is definitely giving gentrified, yuppy vibes from the moment you walk in. I was hoping it would surprise me but the tequila tasted like rubbing alcohol. The mezcal was bland and lacking depth, smokiness and flavor. Some things should come from Mexico and shouldnt be attempted otherwise. I happen to think tequila and mezcal are best from actual source, not whatever this is. The queso was pretty good, they greens on it which I actually liked but for $9 it was served to us halfway full. Thats a little ridiculous

My husband and I visited The Marfa Spirit numerous times during our stay in Marfa the end of September . Laura and Manny are very welcoming, and great bartenders mixing fresh ingredients with great spirits.We had a great time during our first visit to Marfa from the S.F Bay Area, and would love to visit again!Marie P.
