Distillery Products
Grain Canyon Grain Canyon Vodka is a Polish Peasant Vodka. It is a robust vodka that has the presence to stand up to strong flavored mixers. \| Distilled from 100% NYS grain. Our blend consists of 2-row barley, wheat, and rye. We work directly with local farmers and maltsters to create a unique NY product. After fermenting our mash for 3 days, we distill it once through a pot-still, and 3 times through our column for a smooth flavor with a hint of grain aroma. Charcoal filtered. \| Tasting adjectives: \| Our Vodka: \| • Starts with a light grain sweetness from the barley \| • Has hints of sweet red wheat (like fresh bread) \| • Finishes with a spicy note from the rye \| • Rye gives a silky mouthfeel
Evergreen Evergreen Gin is distilled from 100% NYS grain. Our blend consists of 2-row barley, wheat, and rye. We work directly with local farmers and maltsters to create a unique NY product. To create Evergreen, we take Grain Canyon Vodka and infuse it with the following botanicals; Juniper, coriander, lemon zest, lime zest, orange zest, grapefruit zest, orris root, and cardamom. After several days extracting the botanical oils, we distill it one final time through our column still. The result is a full-flavored pine and citrus-forward gin with a dry finish \|Tasting Adjectives:\| Our gin: \| • Made in Genever style (pronounced Yenever) \| • Genever has a silkier and “thicker” mouthfeel compared to an astringent “London Dry” \| • Starts with a sweet orange tone from the coriander and orange peel \| • Has floral and herbal tones from the Angelica and orris root \| • Finishes with tone of citrus from the cardamom, lemon, grapefruit, and kefir lime zest \| • Rye gives a silky mouthfeel
Wild Wild Gin is distilled from 100% NYS grain. Our blend consists of 2-row barley, wheat, and rye. We work directly with local farmers and maltsters to create a unique NY product. Our goal was to create a floral gin that was reminiscent of walking in a spring meadow \| To create Wild, we take Grain Canyon Vodka and infuse it with 16 botanicals, including lemon, ginger, cubeb pepper, and chamomile. After several days extracting the botanical oils, we distill it one final time through our column still. The result is a full-flavored sweet, floral gin with hints of rose, almond, chamomile, and peppercorn \| Tasting Adjectives: \| Our gin: \| • Made in Genever style (pronounced Yenever) \| • Genever has a silkier and “thicker” mouthfeel compared to an astringent “London Dry” \| • Starts with a sweet tone from lemon zest and nutmeg \| • Has floral and herbal tones from licorice and chamomile \| • Finishes with tone of ginger, cinnamon, and peppercorn \| • Rye gives a silky mouthfeel
Inland Sea Inland Sea is distilled from cane sugar and molasses from Louisiana. After a short fermentation with our house yeast, we distill it once through a pot-still, and twice through a column still for a light body, and spicy aroma. Perfect for mojitos, mai tais, or daiquiris \| Tasting adjectives: \| Our Rum is: \| • Lightly sweet on the front of the palate \| • Exceptionally smooth with a soft velvety mouthfeel \| • Hints of molasses, citrus, and ginger spice in the finish \| • Lightly warming as it goes down.

Bubbly Boozle Can be served and enjoyed with or without alcohol \| Most hard seltzers are legally considered beer. In fact, they are brewed rather than distilled, into minimally flavored “beer” with added flavors and/or sweeteners \| By contrast the alcohol in a Bubbly Boozle beverage is distilled, which yields a cleaner flavor, finished with none of the compounds created during fermentation \| Caloric content at 5% alcohol is between 98 and 114 calories for a 12 ounce serving

You gotta come here for brunch. I had the veggie strudel and my friend had the mushroom tart. Both delicious! And of course we took advantage if the 2 for 1 mimosas. 😉

What. An. Amazing. Night. This was our pick for our weekly date night, and we could not have been more impressed, or had a nicer time out. Both of us expected a rustic themed, enjoyable evening but neither of us expected to have one of the best meals we’ve had in ages. This was our first time here, and it certainly won’t be our last. The atmosphere is inviting and warm, and the charm of the industrial factory mixed with hidden side street gem hit you to your core.

Went for a bridal shower in the event center, which is on the 2nd floor. They have an elevator to use. Bathrooms were clean and roomy. The food was delicious! This place would be very cute for a wedding or even prom. Parking is as good as can be. Not in an uncomfortable. Neighborhood. I would like to go back to have dinner and enjoy the restaurant part.

It was SO good. I got the seared salmon with roasted veggies and rice. One of the best meals I’ve had from a restaurant in a very long time. We also had the apple pie barrel roll which came with vanilla bean ice cream; amazing. Will definitely be going back!

Very cool bar. We went on St. Patrick’s day. Live music on the top floor was great. Bartenders were fast and good. Drinks were good and reasonably priced.

Where to begin. First time here, and the last. After NINETY minutes of waiting for EVERYTHING, we finally walked out. Was 25 minutes after we were seated to even be addressed. I told my wife, this is a sign and let’s leave.

We had our wedding at the barrel factory last month & couldn’t be happier. Andi & her team took care of everything from decor to drink choices. Our guests loved the space & it was nothing short of perfect for our wedding reception. Everything looked beautiful in the event space & we were taken care of from start to finish. Would 100% recommend!

A pretty disappointing Birthday dinner. I left still hungry. The atmosphere was nice but the food was upsetting. The portion size for the cost that you receive makes you feel like you got a kids meal for the price of an adult. I ordered chicken piccata and only received half of a chicken breast maybe 8 tiny orb carrots and four teeny tiny triangles of red potato, that was all. There was supposed to be some bread and butter, but I didn’t get that the end of the meal. I thought there was a mistake with my meal size but nope it was intentional. We also ordered some brisket, that seemed have been sitting in a pile of salt, same small portion but given the intensity of the salt we just left most of it, poor birthday girl. And the time it took to get the meal was just way too long, what a let down. Between the high cost and meager portions we felt offended. I mean come on guys!?! I am 5 ‘2 – 110 pounds. I don’t even eat much but this was a joke. After saying something, I got a few more potatoes in a little side dish. I really wanted to love this place, but I can tell how they are just too greedy. Nevertheless, I will not return. Value your money and go somewhere else it’s just not worth it.

Visited here for the first time. Tried the fish fry. Would have to rate it average if that. My wife had the same. Once again average. The couple that was with us thought their meal was good. Not great. Tried summer of their home made beer. It was good. Been to several distilleries in Buffalo and this was just average. Service was filled with several mistakes on the order. They apologized and bought us a round on the house so that was good. Venue was great. Able to sit outside or inside.
