Reservoir Distillery

Small and understated relaxing environment. Bartender very lovely and knowledgeable about all the whisky's in-house. Tried a whisky flight that was nice to try. The Blade Rummer was my favorite!

Love Reservoir spirits and their tasting room.The tasting room has a large bar with ~7 seats and two community tables. You can see into the distillery from a couple of large windows. They offer both cocktails and flights Their founders series Wheat, Bourbon and Rye are single grain (100% wheat, 100% corn, 100% Rye respectively) perfect for sipping. Hunter Scott is for mixing and then they have their speciality Hollands series They have the standard versions of Manhattan and Old Fashions, as well as a rotation of seasonal specialsEveryone who works their is super friendly and will take the time to talk about their spirits - Mike is our favorite!

If you are a bourbon fan this place is awesome. If you are a Virginia bourbon fan this place is a must. A nice selection of bourbon for tasting and some really nice and creative cocktails to try. This has become my go to for making an old fashioned.

Service was friendly. Tyla was great to talk with. We had 2 founders flights and one Hunter & Scott pour. Would definitely go back when in the area!

I decided to swing by here yesterday before heading to my hotel and I'm glad I did. The spirits and drinks here were great, as was the service. I recommend getting an Old Fashioned and doing a tasting of their whiskies. The inside is spacious and very nice. Dare was the bartender and she was awesome.

Skip the brewers and run to Reservoir Distillery. In a neighborhood with 10+ breweries, two cideries and a meadery, Reservoir stands as the only distillery. Here's why you should go:1) Spirits: They distill small-batch bourbon, whiskey and rye and it's mighty fine. There's a small bar inside where you can do $15 tastings. We left with a large bottle of their whiskey for $80.2) Space: Located inside a 100+ year old warehouse that was once a Canada Dry and Schweppes facility, a small tasting room is in the front with production in the back. They offer free tours by their head distiller. 3) Neighborhood: Scott's Addition is an industrial neighborhood now with top restaurants and bars. Murals, including one on Reservoir's building, color the entire area.

I've tried most of the breweries in Richmond, so on a day trip, I went a little different direction. I was the only customer in the bar on an early Sunday afternoon, and the bartender was really cool, we chatted about a bunch of topics. I had a very nice tasting sampler of three whiskeys, and the Summit cocktail tasted refreshing and well balanced.

Great tastings here. I didn't know I was a fan until I went here. Very friendly staff. Must stop in if whiskey/bourbon lover for a flight.

Really cool spot, a novelty if you love the stuff. Go with the bartender recommendations for flights and sampling's to find what you like best. Food truck on site almost every week, and they can make you cocktails if you don't enjoy neat.

Getting frisky with some whiskey! Reservoir is not for the faint at heart! This 90-100 proof whiskey will knock your socks off. They off 1, 3, or 4 samples of their whiskies. I've tried a flight and let's just say it was a wild ride. Many of the drinks are smooth, but they are also very voluptuous and strong. The ginger & whiskey is a go to if you are an amateur. Get the mixed drink and calm your nerves. It's a mixed of ginger ale and 90 proof whiskey. The whiskey-tender is friendly and carefree. He is definitely the life of the party in this cozy little space. I wouldn't recommend large groups mid-day the space is pretty tight. They have 3 communal spaces but the space is very limited. Maybe groups of 5-7..If you're looking for a cute mid-day date try them out. If you are looking for an outing with friends try them out.
