Manifest Distilling

Cool and cozy stop while visiting downtown and pregaming before a concert nearby! The staff is friendly and professional. Great drinks for the whiskey fans and a great selection of non alcoholic drinks for fans like me! A pleasure to visit and I'll be back soon!

Finally made it to Manifest Distilling with friends before a hockey game! Since moving to Jacksonville last year, I've enjoyed their canned cocktails at various events around town. It was always on my list to get there, but I honestly didn't realize where it was located. After a visit to Intuition Ale Works, we were excited to see that we know exactly where it is lol! They do have a few parking spots in the back, but we found a front row parking spot (free after 6 pm). The bar was packed on a weeknight, and it was decorated so cute for Christmas! I browsed the menu and went with a mai tai after considering all of the holiday beverages. It was seriously so delicious. Great tiki drink! My boyfriend got a seasonal grapefruit and cinnamon drink, and after trying his, I ordered one for my second drink. For his second drink he got the eggnog, which we both absolutely loved. Self serve water is available, and restrooms were clean. I have a feeling this will be our new spot! Loved it.

Oh what a great tasting. Chocolate and Spirits! I learned so much about what makes great chocolate. The dark chocolate was my favorite. But the best part were the friends!

We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. They have a lovely showroom and marble bar. The tour was good. They are proud of how they do things by hand which is a little silly. But whatever. The tour wasn't the cleanest I've seen (I've done something like 30 distillery tours). On to the goods. You get a menu of like 25 options and get to pick three. I chose the Florida gin which was excellent. Then the barreled gin which was not nearly as good as others I've tasted such as the excellent one from Weldon Mills Distillery in NC. I finished with their Florida Bastard mix which despite the name was quite pleasant. And you can get a bottle too, for a mere $85!!

The go-to place to unwind with friends. We had a good time here and the cocktails are really good and the bartenders are commendable! Highly recommended.

Oh my, talk about craft cocktails!! These are lovely creative drinks, I immediately fell in love with the unique recipes! My Guava milk punch had Manifes's gin in it with rum, guava, fennel and oolong tea...I was told this drink takes 5 days to make, they use milk then strain it out so the drink is not cloudy or creamy but the final product is so smooth and balanced, amazing drink!! Only down side was I could have drank 3 of these! We also tried a Gin old fashioned which had big frozen ice cubes filled with pecan, orange and beet juices so as they melted they made the drink better and better, so cool!!Bartenders were experienced and knew their stuff, excellent!

I absolutely enjoyed my time here. You can do a flight of the spirits for $3 per pour they have a variety of spirits vodka, Whiskey, rum, and liqueurs all for sampling. Everything can be purchased at the time of sampling as well as their canned daiquiri mad with rum and vodka mules.

Loved our time here. Bar tenders were a blast. Very knowledgeable and fun. Drinks were very good. Atmosphere was chill and establishment was very clean. Hidden gem as it's off the beaten path. But highly recommend.

A friend of mine recommended this distillery to me. I absolutely love that Honey Rye probably one of the best spirits I've had.

Got a Groupon for Christmas and finally made it over with some friends tonight. TJ was our tour guide and lovely. The actual tour was informative and interesting. The drinks we tried at the end were lovely. Only downside, the tasting area didn't have purse hooks!
