We ive been 3 times now. If you havent been its great.
I talked to the owners until 10 last night. Really great people. They left socal not long ago and opened this place less than 2 years ago. They have 16ish bottled booze. Vodka. Moonshine and whiskey.
At the place they have a big menu of craft cocktails, or straight on ice.
Last night i had numerous, shocking.
A salted martini.
A white russian of some sort, cant remember the name but it was outstanding
A cherry bomb whiskey and coke
Then the finale, a smoke glass limited edition whisky. This was from a aged small barrell. The alcohol was extracted from a high alcohol content beer that is from their friends brewery in kingman. So it a collaboration. Then aged 7 months. The smoke part of this is from torching a piece of wood thats from a seasoned barrell.
I cant explain the flavor and how smooth it was, it just needs to be experienced.

Its a small place, everyone is friendly. Music playing. Great prices for what your getting. We are already planning to go next friday night.

If you like vodka and whiskey its a must go. Ive never had moonshine but its great

It's a favorite watering hole for us. Buy the annual membership, it will pay for itself in a year.

Andy and Carrie are great friends. They will treat you right. Everything they make has a great taste for someone. The moonshine and vodka drinks are very tasty. Nice place to sit and enjoy drinks with friends and family. Also watch some Nascar or football.

Have they upgraded their cocktail mixers? Last time I was there their mixers were inexpensive brands that you see in dive bars. Other than that I liked the place and their service.

Gave them a try yesterday, really liked it. It was daytime, so it was quiet. Mostly stopped in to pick up a bottle as a gift, but ended up doing some sampling as well.
