One of my all time favorites 8th Day is a go-to spot when gathering with friends. Their cocktails are top notch, affordable, and the atmosphere is relaxed and fun. In my opinion, they have the best selection of mocktails in the city, allowing those that are not drinking alcohol to still enjoy the atmosphere and a delicious beverage. We've had birthday celebrations, post art show hangs, and spontaneous date nights here. It never disappoints. They also host events and live music. There are some really cool collaborations with local artists, which I really appreciate. The owner seems to be involved in creating a positive atmosphere and connecting with the community. They mostly serve drinks, but they have some snacks like Broad Ripple Chip Co and 4 Birds Bakery cookies. I also highly recommend their canned cocktails and mocktails for backyard cookouts and summer time fun!

Love that this place has non alcoholic beverages - both canned mocktails and mocktails made in-house! Both are very tasty. I like that they're also a bit more adventurous in their flavors than other mocktails around the city. Great place to hang, love the vibes, and decently priced drinks!

Me and my friends were in Indy for the Taylor Swift Eras tour and were looking for something to do Taylor-related while we were in the city and not at the concert. Somebody had posted a spreadsheet in a Facebook group about the Swiftie events going on this weekend and this one caught my eye because 1) it was free and 2)they would have tables set up where you could make the iconic friendship bracelets. We arrived and I was pleasantly surprised with the whole ambiance. It was easy to find a spot and they had bracelet making kits all over the whole bar. I wasn't expecting much as far as the Taylor themed menu because sometimes since her vibe pretty feminine the drinks can overly sugary or "girly". That is not the case here. Every cocktail I tried was well-balanced and delicious. Also, who ever created this menu really is a Taylor fan. He or she knows how to use different flavors in a unique way. Also; my friend is pregnant so she tried a mock tail and said it was absolutely delicious. If I ever come back to Indy, I'd love to check out their permanent menu.

Always the perfect hang-out spot. We stopped in again last weekend and loved the fun State Fair cocktail and mocktail menu. They have one of the most creative menus I've seen around town and it rotates frequently. They also have a bigger mocktail menu than most other distilleries too, which is so wonderful. Here's what we tried: + $2 Tuesday: Rum, pineapple, lime, orgeat, cilantro, tajin+ J-Town Shake-Up: Navy strength gin, melon, lemon, yuzu, orange bitters+ Mango Two Ways: Coconut fat wash spiced rum, red fresnos, mango puree, amba, lemon, cherry bitters+ Featured Farmers (mocktail): Black beans, smoked paprika, cumin, chili, agave, lime, ginger, coffee bitters, fire bitters, soda water, tajin We loved the J-Town Shake-Up the most, but enjoyed all of them. Their menu makes you want to keep ordering to try them all. Such a fun experience and we loved seeing our favorite bartender Mia behind the bar. :) The space inside is perfect for groups, with lots of big tables and seating options, and free parking in the huge lot out front too. We'll be back!

Met some old work friends here that were in town, and it was during 8th days anniversary celebration so there was a number of tasty cocktails! We had a great time hanging out and catching up, the service is always stellar here, and it's a fun chill vibe, since it was a Friday there were some local musicians as well, all around cool place, check them out if you're in the area.

8th Day Distillery is such a hidden gem, and now one of my favorite spots to meet up with friends. Parking is easy, as you can park along the street or in the parking lot. The interior has a cool, industrial vibe. I loved their cocktail menu, as it was creative and everything I tried was delicious. The service was quick and friendly. I can't wait to come back for the new menu!

I came for a Realtor event. We were greeted when we walked in. I had a mocktail. It was very tasty. I cant wait to go back for an actual cocktail. I was told that everything was made in-house which is cool. I loved the decor. I was impressed with the place. I walked around while waiting for my drink.

Great atmosphere inside with a lot of fresh air flowing in and a selection of drinks and small snacks. The employees are super friendly. It makes for a great place to meet up with friends. There is plenty of parking and a great location with a lot of good nearby places to visit and make a day out of it.

It was a nice summer day when I went, and they had their garage door open. We sat inside and it was perfect for our large group! They have a variety of drink options ranging anywhere from mocktails to cocktails to boozy slushies.I ordered the banana hammock, which was a rum slushy. It was strong, but refreshing. Their cocktail list was a summer themed menu. There were a variety of different cocktails to order from!

8th Day Distillery is TOP NOTCH - their five-star reviews come for good reason! They have a rotating seasonal menu to keep their options interesting, even featuring weekend-only cocktails sometimes. Their drinks are made with their own distilled spirits and have creative themes with fun names. For example, during the Summer of 2022 they made a State Fair inspired menu with drinks inspired by sweet corn, friend donuts, and more. Even with the experimental rotating menu options, I've always enjoyed my drink. The flavors are solid, the drinks are strong, and the quality is consistent. They also offer several mocktail options for anyone looking for a nonalcoholic option.The bartenders are some of the nicest in the city. They always strike up a convo and typically bring your drinks out to you when they can. We also love that 8th Day is dog friendly inside! There are limited indoor spaces to take dogs, so it's so nice having the option to bring our pup along to such a fun spot.PRO TIP: They host free weekly trivia nights with prizes. Check their social pages for up to date times!
