Their spirit flight for only 10 dollars was a steal!Atmosphere is nice but it's definitely a hipster type of crowd. Which isn't a bad thing but it isn't the atmosphere we expected at a distillery.I was hungry and saw they have vegan dimsum so I ordered the wonton in chili oil and it was underwhelming and over priced for what you get. I decided to save my appetite and go somewhere else down the street for lunch.This place does get crowded fast, so recommend to come in early.We would come back for the drinks but not for the food. But we wouldn't go out of our way for this place. Customer service was nice and attentive.

Drinks: - I had the Maple old fashioned and it tastes exactly like the name of the drink. Pretty cut and dry I know. The maple syrup really comes through though. At least with my experience, it's the top note and all the other flavors come secondary. It is a little on the sweeter sideFood:- The Rosemary Fries with the aioli sauce is a must get. The best way I can describe these fries are that they have the same exact texture as McDonald's fries (except more elevated). And that's not a diss in any way. The rosemary flavor is amazing with these fries, and the aioli sauce. None of the ingredients felt out of placeAmbience:- The place is just stunning the upstairs section feels like a lounge almost and it's really cozy up there- I loved the emerald and gold look with the plants- There's a viewing window into the distillery, seeing all the silver and copper vats was so cool- The place gives a elegant, steampunk, great gatsby type vibeOverall:The service was great, our server was very nice to us. The food and drinks came out at a good pace. The interior is just beautiful. I found myself starring at the exposed wood on the ceiling and just in awe of how stunning the interior design is. The place is just so aesthetically pleasing. It's a great place for a date, it's not too loud. I definitely want to go back and try their other drinks.

Great atmosphere when you walk in, followed by friendly service. Didn't have a reservation so we sat at the bar. Adorable and delicious drinks and the small bites of food we got were great! Definitely recommend

This place is a gem. My partner planned a surprise date night and this place was a perfect end to the night. Super clean, nice vibes, cozy vibes and quiet enough for a date night where you don't have to shout over the music or people. All in all, amazing experience. FOOD: We had just come dinner so only tried the rosemary fries with the aoili, but it was soo good. Imagine an elevated version of the glorious McDonald's fries. So good. I can't wait to go back and try more of their food. For drinks, I had the Alter (but with tequila blanco instead of the mezcal) and my partner had the Maple Old Fashioned. He said his drink was really good and the maple was an interesting yet pleasant twist on the classic cocktail. Mine was good but it was very tequila forward. It comes straight up without any ice but I asked for some ice to mellow it out a bit and that turned out nicely. The cocktail list is vast but I do wish they had more tequila based cocktails. That's just me!AMBIANCE: I loved it, gives a bit of cabin vibes with the wood. The bar is stylist yet cozy. Love the lighting and choice of furniture. SERVICE/PRICE: It was good! Attentive and nice staff.Food & Beverages: 4.4Ambiance & Cleanliness: 4.8Price Point: 4Overall Experience: 4.5

This place has many names I think because we wanted to go to a place called Jade Rabbit at the Emerald room. So just a tip to remember. The Jade Rabbit is a vegan dimsum place. It's a small place with its own distillery so the cocktails are all made in house. Definitely recommend trying them. Some of them look good but don't taste as great. I would go with the bartender's recommendations. The vegan dimsum were all great. I particularly recommend the fried ones and the chilli oil one. The flavoring was just perfect. The place itself is small. There is some space on the second floor but we didn't go upstairs so I'm guessing there's more space to sit there too. There is lots of seating at the bar and it's generally not very crowded in the afternoons.

When you show up as a walk in for tasting but the reception you receive is "do you have a reservation?" No we do not "well we are not accepting walkins". Although almost the entire bar was empty and the tables half full. Ok then! No argument...just took my revenue next door to Culmination Brewing. Good call! Great little place to try different brews. Your loss Aimsir...will not put you on the list to try in the future...if you are looking for good whiskey tasting try bull run distillery or Freeland Spirits. Plus their location is wrong on the website which made it extremely difficult to find.

Intimate Art Deco-inspired setting in an unknown warehouse district fairy close to E Burnside. Went and was expecting American pub food--instead, we stumbled upon an all veg dim sum menu! Try the stuffed bunnies; so cute! (No, they're not actual bunnies. The dough is shaped like a rabbit!) Service was fine. Nothing to complain about.

Tried this place out for the first time the other night after we were exploring the area. One of the chefs greeted us and was very nice. Waited awhile for service and drinks but it did appear the bartender was going upstairs as well so it was understandable. She was really nice. The flight was a nice variety, showing different spirits. This distillery makes their own gin and whiskey, both tasted great! The board was delicious and I would recommend this restaurant.

Food was decent, drinks were ok, would likely return but the bartender that was serving us was incredible rude and it was so off putting we decided to cut our dinner short and leave. We arrived on 3/31 for dinner and the first male bartender that greeted us was super nice. The female bartender that ended up serving us was so passive aggressive, and asked for our food order from a distance, basically making us shout. For context, the bar was empty. We tried to order an extra cocktail and she snapped at us saying she'd be back (again, empty bar). We thought she was having a bad day but she seemed so effusively nice to other staff.Our standards are actually quite low and tip a standard 20% when it comes to food and beverage service as my husband and I both worked in restaurants before. It's confusing why you would choose to be rude and hasty in a bar environment that isn't even full - so rude. Never returning. The manager needs to intervene and explain basics to this bartender on basic customer service.
