I visit Weldon‘s last night And it was honestly an incredible experience. The staff was amazing very attentive very much knowledgeable of almost any type of drink that you wanted. They even created drink for us. That were extremely tasty. Well blended. The food was amazing. I tried their chicken wings they’re nachos and their pork belly sliders. All amazing thank you for the experience. The only thing I would have loved was for them to have played some type of music they did had a crowd there who were doing some type of in-service or training or something so I get it, but for those of us who are not involved in the training, a little background noise would have been nice. Amazing. -
Weldon Mills Distillery is such a gem! From the moment I walked in, the service was fantastic! Friendly, attentive, and they really know their stuff when it comes to the drinks.
The cocktails are top-notch, all crafted with their own spirits like rum, gin, whiskey, and tequila. I tried a couple and each one was smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. And the food? Absolutely delicious! The brisket nachos were loaded and full of flavor, and the elotes deviled eggs were such a fun twist.
One of the best parts is their $10 tastings, such a great way to try out their gins, vodkas, whiskeys, or tequilas without breaking the bank.
They’ve got their original spot in Weldon and a beautiful location in Durham, which even features a full-service event center and a private tasting room. Both locations have a great atmosphere and make you want to hang out a while.
Overall, Weldon Mills really does have it all, amazing drinks, tasty food, great vibes, and outstanding service. Definitely worth a visit! -

Had such a great time doing the tequila tasting at Weldon Mills! The vibes were amazing—super chill, great music, and everyone was really welcoming. The tequila was smooth, and they really knew their stuff. And don’t even get me started on the chocolate beignets… SO good! Definitely a spot worth checking out if you’re in Durham. -
Love this location and spirits! Great drinks, the tasting/flights are fun. We’ve eaten a few items (baked wings and the brisket Mac) off the menu and they’ve been great! A plus is parking right next to the distillery. If in town, give it a try! -
Had the bourbon flight. Loved the reserve but the weated was awesome. Thanks for the pours guys. Had the new 53 and it was also great. The menu was good everything we tried was good. You guys have a great thing going on. Keep up the great work.
