Lucky Bastard Distillery

a craft distillery that has been making gin, vodka, and grain spirits in the city since 2012, with a tasting room attached to the still house. drop in most afternoons to sample the lineup and talk to the people who actually make it, or book ahead for a cocktail class if you want to learn to mix. it is small, friendly, and the kind of place where you leave knowing a bit about how the spirit in your glass came together. a good first stop on a night out, or a gift run with a built-in tasting. take a bottle home.
