Tripp Distillery

Hidden gem located in Pacifica. Was Yelping breweries in the area and Tripp distillery came up in the search, looked like a unique experience so knew we had to give it a try!Tasting was offered/lead by Jason, the owner/spirit maker. They offered a you-choose flight of 3 with about 8 different liquors to pick from. They had all the ones pictured on the board as well as a couple that hadn't quite made full production yet. Between my boyfriend and I's flights we were able to taste 6. Went with rum, brandy, sassafras, a red vodka not on the list, a special blue lotus flower gin, and the single malt whiskey. The liquors tatsted great and it was a lot of fun talking with Jason about how he makes the different spirits. Can't wait for that blue lotus flower gin to be available for purchase! We didn't spend a long time here as it was a 3 taste max, but it was a fun little pit stop on our day. The entrance was a little hidden, but we saw the sign and knew we were headed in the right direction. There's no real big front entrance, just their name on a door letting you know they're there. Almost felt like a speakeasy since it was so un-showy. Street parking is available and plentiful.

Ok so I went and it was not the most welcoming or comfortable place. It's obvious they are there to make an incredible product. I'm not sure if it was the owner, but it was the only person there that helped me. He was friendly and knowledgeable. Like super friendly. Great guy. I was there by myself but there were several groups of people trying everything. I knew what I was going to buy but I wanted to try a few things first. The rum is amazing. They gave me samples of virtually everything in the house. The next time I go back I'm getting a bottle of the bourbon. They were all out when I was there. This is a sipping rum, don't mix it. Go here if you are into spirits.

After an afternoon of sippin I haven't been able to get off the toilet. Stomach just keep me on the toilet

Very small little eclectic place that seems like a literal whole in the wall spot. Disorganized tasting area and service was good. We tried the whisky that was ok. The brandy is smooth but only has one bite to it and then it falls flat on the back end. I really don't see it as sipper to enjoy multiple times. After that we paid and left after trying 2 spirits. If your military be careful not to try the Sassafras Liqueur, it may have naturally derived ingredients that will not be good for your career according to the server. Once I heard that it was to stop tasting and leave.

Small batch distilleries have a special quality. I've visited a few times. His vodka is super smooth (the owner, Jason Tripp made a vodka cranberry cocktail for me to try). I bought a bottle of vodka & rum for myself & gin as a gift for a friend. He told me that the green gin turns blue when it's introduced to an acidic ingredient, such as quinine water. Jason has won awards for each of his liquors. He said that owning his own distillery is a dream come true. No food available. Street parking is pretty easy.During Covid, Jason made hand sanitizer which was 70% alcohol, thus extremely flammable but effective & selling for $1 per oz. Update! As of 5/6/2020, Due to the City of Pacifica, hand sanitizer will no longer be offered.

A very special tasting awaits you at Tripp Distillery. Jason is doing some magic. Stop by - always an unusual and fun experience- a wee bar in the middle of a quiet street full of interesting experiences.

Small and quaint lil vodka distillery in Pacifica. Met the owner, who was a joy to talk to. You could tell that he enjoys what he does. I came on a Friday and he was grilling up oysters for everyone for da free. SAY WHAT?! Where can u get free grilled oysters at nowadays?? The vibes are more locals feeling, but everyone there was pretty friendly. I saw people bringing in food from taquerias, which made me hungry since they didn't sell food. They did provide peanuts in bowls lol I think I ate a whole bowl... oops. If u give me alcohol, I'm bound to get the munchies lol. Tip to self and everyone else: BRING YOUR OWN FOOD. Don't be like me and eat a whole bowl of peanuts by accident HAHAH.Tip #2: this place is located in an alley, walk up 50 feet and there's a small door you enter into. At night they usually have a bright light flashing.

We are new to the Pacifica area. The Tripp Distillery is a really nice local discovery of ours. One day we accidentally got in the alley and found this pearl. The vodka, rum and gin are distilled right here at the spot. You get awesome tasty mix drinks and free tastings and a free drink with every purchased bottle. We are here almost every week to meet the local people that have become our friends. We can really recommend this spot on Fridays to Sundays. It's closed during the week, because the giant distillery machine called "Sally" is running. Cheers!

Went here to taste some spirits with an old friend. It's a bit hard to find at first but the distillery itself has a very relaxed vibe. We each tasted 3 different spirits and I ended up purchasing the barrel aged coconut filtered vodka. Owner was awesome and was more than helpful and knowledgeable! Will be coming back!

I love this place. Small and eclectic. Jason is awesome, and of course, it's very Pacifica.
