About Our Rockford Distillery
We’ve carved a contemporary sanctuary into the tree line. In our soaring space, recognized by the American Institute of Architects for its design, we serve refined cocktails and seasonal plates across three distinct environments.
The Dining Room
We grounded our 30-foot ceilings and open light with an intimate, handcrafted trellis bar. Here, we fire artisanal pizzas and prep fresh, seasonal shared plates designed specifically to elevate our spirits.
The Covered Patio
We dissolved the line between the table and the tree line with a dramatic glass curtain wall. Here, we serve our full menu and cocktail program in the heart of the woods.
The BackYard
We kept it raw in the Backyard. With fire pits, café lighting, and a shipping container bar, we’ve created the ultimate spot for unfiltered cocktails under the Michigan sky.
Private Events at the Distillery
We built this space for more than just distilling; we built it for gathering. Whether it’s a wedding, a workshop or a private tour of the distillery, host your event in a venue that’s dialed in.
