I love the attitude and good mood of the Bar Harbor distillery staff. We enjoyed the new drinks and the food. I did not appreciate having dogs around when I was trying to enjoy a drink and have some food. At first there were 2 dogs and then 6 at the time I left. I think dogs do not belong in a place where food for human is served and next time we visit the distillery we will make sure pets will not be in, otherwise neither of us will come back. After all, pets could well stay outside while the owners decide to drink something.

Best place to go in Boston! The whiskey tour is amazing! We had Ray as a tour guide and he did a superb job explaining the history of the distillery and how the whiskey is made. After the tour, we enjoyed whiskey cocktails and took in the beautiful rustic scenery. The owner, Rhonda, came to our table and was quite personable. We had a very pleasant experience and will definitely be back. Our best to the crew at the Distillery during this very challenging time. Thank you all for being so nice! Regards, Jacquie and Terry

Awesome night at BHD. Food was brought in by the Summer Shack and it was a perfect mix with the cocktails from the bar. Looking forward to visiting again.

It is a hidden gem. only comment was that you need to improve the outdoor space. i understand that it was temporary, but all the umbrellas blew off. need to find something better and safer.

Our family had a great time celebrating an important birthday at the Distillery. We enjoyed drinks and appetizers in their outside seating area on a beautiful sunny afternoon. The business was very proactive about social distancing, mask wearing and cleanliness protocols yet staff was engaging, attentive and friendly. Cocktails were fantastic! Looking forward to returning another day for a tour! Thanks for a great afternoon!

The place was cool - I like how they incorporated the old industrial into the design. Having Summer Shack there was excellent idea! Bar service was slow - they could have used another waitress (she was covering inside and outside). I thought the prices of their whiskey/spirits a bit high relative to quality ($75 for a bottle of whiskey? I can get two of Hudson Valley 4 grain for that price). We probably will go back - perhaps take some friends. Also, look into having some beer (joint venture with a local brewery?) In any event, best of luck with this endeavor!

The tasting was wonderful as was the guy who did it! The charcuterie board was insanely overpriced for cubed cheese and 3 stale pieces of baguette. I understand you probably didn’t offer food before but state orders have required it - so we totally understand! The mojito cocktail was pretty awful and undrinkable. The fashionable was very very good! Great, very cool location, staff was so nice.
