    We did the dixie hwy brew trail tour and this was our 6th stop and we absolutely loved it. Easy to get to, friendly staff, clean great atmosphere. Great drinks, great prices I wish they had more merchandise in stock and had some larger sizes cause we would have definitely bought some. But other then that it was a wonderful place and I cant wait to go back, definitely one of my new favorites

    We did the distillery tour and tasting last night. Definitely some of the best we have ever had. The atmosphere is great! We had dinner after our tour and all of our food and cocktail choices were amazing. We are looking forward to our next visit!

    My boyfriend and I were told about this place from a coworker of his and WOW. Such an unassuming, quirky hidden gem! Obviously, they distill all their own spirits but we learned that they also HAND MAKE every single ingredient that goes in the cocktails - including the bitters! The cocktail selection was expansive and each drink we tried was a delicious labor of love. The bartenders were knowledgeable, friendly and added to our experience without having to be the center of it. If we lived closer, we’d almost certainly be regulars. If you’ve not had the pleasure of visiting this place yet, add it to the top of your to do list!

    Absolutely thrilled to share my experience at Thornton Distillery! This hidden gem exceeded all expectations. The ambiance is a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, creating an inviting atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The history of the building adds an extra layer of magic to the experience. It's like stepping into a time capsule, with every corner whispering stories of days gone by. The attention to preserving this heritage is truly commendable. Now, let's talk about the star of the show—their phenomenal mule and burger! The mule was expertly crafted, with a perfect balance of zesty ginger and smooth spirits. It was the ideal companion to the mouthwatering burger, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a symphony of taste sensations. Thornton Distillery is a testament to the art of distillation and the celebration of local history. I can't wait to return for another unforgettable experience. This is a must-visit destination for any food and spirits enthusiast!

    I've photographed weddings here the past two years and it's a very unique venue with great charm. The bridal suite and groom lounge are both quite large. The staff has always been very accommodating, allowing me to take my couple around the historic building for pictures. - Steve IG: @regionweddings

    Cannot recommend this place enough. We went here for the first time tonight and I already can't wait to go back! The building itself is spectacular, the decor really sets it, and the bartenders playlist seals the deal to make you feel like you're in an Electronica speakeasy. The bartender was the one of the best I've seen, making everything from scratch, and giving the best recommendations. We met the sous-chef, and her food was great as well; we enjoyed the bourbon BBQ burger, veggie burger, and fries. I really want to go for a tour and brunch! This place is a can't miss bar!

    First time there today for a Bridal Show. Loved the vibe, and the food that I sampled was terrific. Will definitely be back to try the restaurant!

    We had a fantastic brunch! Everyone loved the food, even the kids. Coffee was delicious and so was the strawberry mojito. We will be back!

    I booked the Saturday tour, and I was blown away. For $15, you'll hear about the rich history of the land, gang affiliations, prohibition, and the building itself, riddled with tunnels. Amazing! They bring you down underground and into the brewery itself. There's a phenomenal tasting at the end! I went with a group of devout Catholics that still enjoyed themselves lol. Great for everyone

    The atmosphere and history of Thornton Distillery is rich and storied. The food is all excellent, highly recommend the Barbacoa tacos, loaded fries, or any of the burgers. Their tours are well worth it and you get to taste all the liquors they make. Weekly specials, a private event space, a collection of retro games, a free pool table and darts, and a large projector with sports typically. Overall amazing location. Top marks all around.

    Our daughter’s wedding was at Thornton Distilling Co. and it was beautiful! Kim, the event planner, was so helpful and everything went off without a hitch. The food was delicious, the drinks were great, the venue itself is beautiful. What an amazing location for a wedding!
