Gold Bar Distillery

What a gem! Looking for something other than Sausalito, book an intimate cocktail class. Never had a whiskey sour so good and I made it. I'm so glad we got to see this historical location and can't wait to come back to see it's future development and do the gin cocktail class. Thank You Will Powell, our excellent bartender mixologist extraordinare!

If you're looking for an adventure as well as a unique experience that'll set the mood for your day/weekend, Gold Bar Distillery is the place for you! Me and my girlfriend had the pleasure to visit for the first time last weekend to celebrate our anniversary and it did not disappoint. We took the ferry from SF's ferry building to treasure island (also first time) which was a unique experience all its own. Upon arriving to the island, we saw a huge white building in front of us where Gold Bar is located. As soon as we entered the building we were greeted by a huge mural showing decades of history and the significance of Treasure Island throughout the decades. To the right of the entrance is where Gold Bar is located which you can't miss because of its beautiful ambiance and decor. I found out about this place and saw that they offered an interactive cocktail making class! Booked it for 1230 on Saturday which we were a bit early to so we hung out at the bar. As we were seated, the staff was so accommodating making sure we were taken care of. Every staff member asked how we were doing and if we needed anything. Brandon, who was our bartender/cocktail making instructor, greeted us while he was getting everything ready. From the start his energy and vibe set the tone and I knew we were going to have a great time! We all got to our mixing stations and he introduced himself sharing with the group his experiences and how long he's been a master at his craft. Now I don't want to give the whole thing away because I would love for you all to enjoy and experience it yourself but I will say that I learned so much about the science and art of bartending because of Brandon's professionalism and expertise. He explained everything throughly, answered questions our group had, asked questions himself to test our knowledge, and encouraged us throughout the whole class. He was patient and took the time to help us in case we missed something or if we needed to open up our shakers after mixing haha. There was one cocktail we made specifically which I will have to toot my horn and say I did a real good job making and Brandon approved! To everyone who loves trying new experiences, drinking delicious cocktails, and having the best instructor teach you in the process, I would 100% recommend Gold Bar Distillery for this interactive cocktail making class with Brandon! We will definitely be coming back here soon with a big group of our friends and of course requesting our guy Brandon!

I never knew this distillery was here until we stopped in before settling in to watch the Blue Angels. As luck would have it, the cloud cover was too thick and the Blue Angels did not perform. There were some aircrafts performing, but the main event was postponed until the next day. We were not totally disappointed, we had the opportunity to sit and relax and enjoy tastings of some great whiskey. Our Server was so gracious and had such knowledge of the facility and even shared with us some upcoming events. We look forward to enjoying their spirits in the summer time while listening to great music and even watching movies in the parking lot. During the winter months we can enjoy the indoor atmosphere and the many screens that show the local sports teams. I would encourage anyone that wants to do a tasting, don't delay. Do it! This place has a fun vibe and allows you to have an intimate or group tasting. See you soon Gold Bar!

I was invited for a Yelp event here at Gold Bar and a tour around the distillery. For the event we were able to try a flight and one of the signature cocktailsHere's the flight: Gold Bar Whiskey the Original Gold Bar Black Double Cask BourbonGold Bar Rickhouse Cask Strength Bourbon (highly recommend) I love Manhattan cocktails and really enjoyed their Cask Strength Manhattan! Mostly because it was made with Gold Bar Whiskey Rickhouse Bourbon. Great views! I use the bus from Saleforce transit but next time will be taking the Ferry instead and will be bringing my camera for better pictures

Gold Bar Distillery was the preliminary spot before dinner and it was a beautiful experience. They manufacture the gin and bourbon in house and provide flight tastings for both the house gin and bourbon. The cocktails are beautifully crafted to perfection with at least 1 ounce of liquor in each sample. The Bourbon tasting included the Cold brew Old Fashion, Joe Montana signature drink, and a Manhattan. The food menu looked really good, we ordered the dumplings which were delicious. We also purchased house made bourbon and gin while we were there. We will definitely be going to this bar again in the future.

I would've never known this was at Treasure Island if it wasn't for the Yelp event. With the event we were able to take a mini tour of the building and then was able to do a tasting of the gold bar whiskey. Im not a whiskey connoisseur but I really like them all. It tasted smooth, not too sweet and can pair well with coca-cola. I bought a few of their mini gold bars, it was too cute to pass up. The bar itself is beautiful and if course you see gold everywhere but its not the type that hurt your eyes. It's tastefully decorated. Now the parking says it's limited time so follow rules accordingly lol. If you don't want to worry about parking, you can take the ferry which cost $5.The service was great! All the staff were friendly.

Gold Bar Distillery has a beautiful location and stunning views. I particularly enjoyed my cocktail, which was not only delicious but also had a nice presentation. The bartender was super friendly and shared that they offer a whiskey tasting/ cocktail class that seemed pretty cool. Whether you're a cocktail/whiskey enthusiast or just looking for a great spot to unwind with a nice view, this place delivers on all fronts.

This is such a great place to relax with a nice joe Montana cocktail and food while enjoying the beautiful view of San Francisco on treasure island. They have some real cool 49er pictures and of course the GOAT himself Joe Montana. He makes a real good whiskey. The food is amazing as well. I can't wait to come back again.

I was out and about and decided to try Gold Bar for a happy hour drink. I entered the treasure island building and found the bar to my right. I was greeted by staff and sat at the bar. I was greeted by the bartender who was very friendly and helpful. I ordered a cold brew old fashioned. This drink was very flavorful and refreshing. I looked at the food menu and it was very impressive. The drink menu was very impressive too. The ambiance is very nice and customer friendly. This is a place to get a good drink and a good meal. I will be back to try the food but from what I heard the food is good too.

Food: UGG. Best Grilled Cheese was the claim. Not! The Tomato soup? More like Tomato Sauce. Booze: I bought a bottle of Gin but was unable to taste it first because I was the DD, but I always try different options to support local. I got home and it tasted like Ass. Yuck. I've been drinking Gin Martini's my whole adult life, and this was undrinkable.
