Brother Justus Whiskey

Stopped in after work for a special fall drink. Nicely occupied and noise level was perfect. You can sit at the bar and gaze at the distillery and imagine all the tasty whiskey being made. I ordered the Chai Whiskey Old Fashioned. It's served just how it should be-with one large square piece of oceans this version comes with a cinnamon stick as the stir stick. It is the tastiest old fashioned I've ever enjoyed! So smooth and delish. No bitterness, just beautiful notes of their signature whiskey. They have many drink choices and a few small bites. Super cool atmosphere and super friendly staff! Def recommend!

Had a reservation for a kinda large group of people (about 12) and had an okay experience. Despite it being a very quiet night we waited about 15 minutes for water, and we're not asked to order until a bit after the water was delivered. When it came time to order we were time and time again reminded that we could only pay with 3 transactions. This was said so much that it became uncomfortable. Drinks were fine but for me they were not worth the uncomfortable awkwardness we experienced.

Very good open vibe. Service staff did a great job. Drinks were good but simple. Whiskey was tasty. Definitely worth a stop!

Love Brother Justus!!!!This is one of my favorite distilleries period. The atmosphere, ambience, staff, and of course - the whiskey. All top notch.I tend to do an old fashioned with their American single malt (my favorite) and it delivers. Easily my favorite in the cities.This place is great for a night with the girls/guys or date night. Check them out!!!!

Did some libations hopping on Sunday....a brewery, a cidery and mid mix was my inaugural visit to Brother Justus. It was still early afternoon so we were only three of a handful of people there. Upon entering a friendly staff greeted us...w a southern drawl of y'all in every sentence... I liked it. As we perused the cocktail menus I asked him what cocktail he would choose? He gave me the answer of: I had the Northern Smoke as my shift drink yesterday and the day before that I had the Cider and Spice. I inquired about the Chimp Crazy...more because I wanted to order it for the name. He gave a thorough and wonderful description that it had a Banana Fosters flavor and runt-like banana. It didn't pique my interest but my friend was sold w the Banana Fosters description! My other friend and I both opted for a Cider and Spice. Once our drinks arrived we all tried a sip of the others. I found the initial sip of both to be boozy. Not off-putting boozy just... this may be a Sipper, boozy. I really liked that every sip of the Cider and Spice was frothy. The Chimp Crazy, w just the one sip I liked the banana aftertaste that lingered on your palate. The Brother Justus space is beautiful, so spacious and bright. Parking is easy right out the door and past the patio. I didn't pay close attention to when the bill came but I think the young fellow said there was a 16% gratuity included. I didn't pay but I appreciate that he pointed that out so I assume someone can add to it but maybe not double it. We took a spin through the merch area as it was in the nook where you entered/exited. I really like the massive ring of wood on the wall. The opposite wall... the large fireplace and library of books... I may need to invest in a smoking jacket and pipe before I return. ha. Brother Justus isn't just a place for a wildly delicious cocktail but it's a whole experience. I'm not a big cocktail drinker but the Cider and Spice is definitely one I won't soon forget! I took a picture of the top of the drink... as I liked the coloring of it. Thank you for bringing out glasses of water and leaving a pitcher as well. We opted for a leisurely seating of comfortable padded lounge-like chairs and a table. There was another like option in the corner by the fireplace. I like the open area take to the tasting room w views of the distilling tanks behind the bar. Thanks Brother Justus for the seasonal cocktails and a wonderful experience.

Brother Justice is a fun and welcoming alternative to the ever-so popular brewery scene in the Twin Cities. If you are looking for a handcrafted cocktail, a great outdoor patio, a beautifully designed building with great service. This is the spot for you.

This is my second visit and I believe gin is a new addition to their offerings since my first. Everything was perfectly made and the dogs are so classy. Plus a star for a dog friendly patio Plus another star for a kid free spot. Being from Chicago this is a combo we never find- keep up the great work!

I've tried to visit Brother Justice numerous times and every single time we try to go it's closed. You may be thinking it's on me but it's not, I've done everything I can to confirm they are open and every single time I'm wrong due to misinform.Google says they are open on Saturdays until 4, but their own website says they are open until 10, because of the discrepancies and the fact that we've had this issue before we decided to call. Their automated phone system says they are open until 10, they even have an option to hear abnormal closings which said none. Our group eagerly set out for what should have been a gun Saturday evening. We arrived at 5:15 and there's a sign on the door stating that the tap room is closed at 5:00.... Right next to a more permanent sign that says 10pm. There was no event going on but others pulling up were also confused on why they weren't open. With countless distilleries, breweries and cider shops to explore were crossing Brother Justice off the list. There's no shortage of places to visit and there's no consistency here with their hours of operation. I would say double and triple check before you go but I've done it multiple times and have still never been inside.

Fantastic summer evening spot! We came on a Friday around 6pm and had plenty of patio seating. Cocktails are really well made. They have charcuterie and vegetable trays from Surdyk's that are perfect shared bites.

Staff down right rude I walked in with my son and a group of 10 people and the gal looked at me and said we don't allow them here., allow what? Umm them people under 21. You need to leave we are very strict on this rule. Mind you we called ahead and were told as long as minors are outside it's fine; one person on our group went up to what we thought was the bar and they turned him away stating we are table service only. Manager came out to talk to me and agreed kids can be on the public grass area but he was more concerned about what number we called and who we talked too vs taking out parties order. I stayed wouldn't it be more important to service your clients and worry about that after the fact and he said no but I'm ready to take your order if you need. We said forget it and left they clearly did not need or want our money.
