Staff was so kind and knowledgeable on the different cocktails. Location is beautiful! Speak easy vibes. Parking available nearby. Clean bathrooms on site. You’re able to purchase bottles for taking home as well. We had a wonderful experience and will be back!

The cafe lemonade drink was such a great drink! Don’t let the ingredients fool you, trust me and get it! The burnt ends and the wings were delicious, very well flavored! Definitely recommend this place. Has a cool vibe, kind of gives me watts and ward vibes in Raleigh.

Story telling was wonderful, the drinks were good and matched the stories being told. A lot of people dressed up which added to the fun. Would love to attend again but next time at night! Would be spookier then

Excellent atmosphere. My wife and I are near the original Weldon Mills distillery lucky for us. This location in Durham is fantastic. Tim the bar tender was great along with the rest of the staff. Drinks were excellent. My wife and I were very impressed with the Edgar Allen Poe speakeasy that was presented up stairs. Looking forward to future adventures.

I was blown away when I found out this Distillery makes 36 amazing products! The staff is funny, welcoming, and very hospitable. The exposed brick walls and cement flooring give off a speakeasy ish vibe. They have free live music every Friday as well as a super fun tiki bar that’s dog friendly on their patio every weekend! Finding out they had food was a pleasant surprise as it helped my friends and I be able to enjoy more of their delicious craft cocktails! 10/10 recommend! Took some bottles home and found out they cap sell bottles on Sundays as well! Will definitely be back!

I had an easy time sipping and enjoying the atmosphere of Weldon Mills. It felt like I was walking into a speakeasy as the lights were a little low, and the couches, chairs, and stables had a vintage flair and vibe to them. I decided to check out their whiskey flight, and my favorite out of the five hands down was the peach elderflower. It had a nice hint of sweetness and was an easy sipper. I am always looking for whiskey flavors that my mom can use to bake cakes with, and this is one that I think she will need to add in her rotation! I liked it so much that I got a single pour. My total was just a little over $17! What a great night with good service as well! I will be back for a few more sips in the future. They have specials almost every day. This must be a go-to when you go downtown!
