Super cool distillery with a chic interior and inventive cocktails. We had a great time trying a variety of drinks on a fun December Saturday, with everything being tasty and service congenial. Absolutely would recommend!
Good cocktails but the tasting room is way too small. Reservations are probably recommended if you don’t want to sit at the terribly designed wall bench thing. They did eventually move us to a booth so we stayed for another round. Not sure I would generally recommend stopping in unless you know its not too busy.
My husband and I really enjoyed the tour and tasting experience. The gentleman that gave the tour was very welcoming, knowledgeable and funny! Our cocktail the Dreamsicle Fizz was very tasty! Loved the TEXAS PECAN BROWN SUGAR BOURBON and bought a bottle to take home. The presentation of the tastings were great and can’t say enough about how friendly and engaging the staff was with everyone! To top it off the place is stunning inside! Highly recommend trying it out!

Very cool vibe here. The staff was fantastic and bourbon matched them. I only tried the flights, but I bought a bottle as soon as I got home. I will be returning every trip to the DFW.

My husband enjoys a good low key bar with a speakeasy feel and on a smaller scale, so Blackland Distillery is quickly becoming a favorite after dinner stop on date nights. This beautifully decorated distillery also offers tours, but must be booked in advance, so check their website or call ahead. The bar itself is a combination of barstool seating, oversized booths in private-ish alcoves and table/chair seating by the distillery. You can watch the alcohol being distilled through the windows as the back portion of the business is where the actions at. Aside from amazing drinks and stellar service, they also work with the Culinary School of Fort Worth to offer some of the most elevated bar food in town. Blackland Distillery has our highest recommendation - 10 out of 10!
Our order: I’m always the designated driver because I don’t drink alcohol, but I AM a professional eater, so I go for the food and fun. My husband enjoys a good Old Fashioned, but Eric talked him into trying their Gin in which he was genuinely surprised.
The distillery works with the Culinary School of Fort Worth to serve up some amazing appetizers. We’ve tried all of them with exception of the hummus plate, but we plan to try that soon as well. Those marinated Olives in oil with Feta are my FAVS! My husband loves their seasoned mixed nuts - slightly sweet, a little heat and 100% addictive! We also love to split the charcuterie board with my husband eating the meat while I enjoy the three vegetarian friendly dips - Pimento Cheese, Artichoke dip and Lemon Peel Honey. The peppers, the cheeses and the crostinis are all a win!
Pros: This space is smaller in size and has a cozier feel compared to other similar bars in town. The dark moody color plate is my jam! The awesome service and shared knowledge… it just feels more intimate and relaxing to us. The service is top notch and the bottles they store their alcohol in are stunning, so be sure to grab a favorite to take home!
Cons: This place is too good to find any fault! Parking is easy, the food is wonderful and the service is spectacular!
Pro Tip: Ask for Eric when you’re seated. He’s knowledgeable, professional and provides wonderfully personalized care as well as great suggestions for drinks. He’s also a wealth of knowledge and we look for him every time we go!

8 of us decided to give Blackland’s a try. Four of us did the tour that included a free cocktail and tasting. The other four got a table and various cocktails and appetizers
It was a fun way to spend a couple hours on a Saturday afternoon.
You’re greeted at the door and shown to your table where your drink of choice is waiting for you. We had the Old Fashion which is made with their bourbon, and house-made bitters and simple syrup. Pretty good OF actually. The tour was fun and the guide was very friendly. Not a fan of the fact they added 20% gratuity to a party of 4 for the tour though. Let your clients chose their tip!
After the tour we had a tasting of Vodka, Gin, Bourbon, and Rye whiskey. Followed by a 1/2oz of their brown sugar bourbon which was quite sweet.
The four of us that didn’t do the tire didn’t have as good of an experience. Servers and bartenders were robotic and not real friendly. We never saw any of them smile or even appear to want to be there. For the owner’s stake in this new business venture, I hope he addresses this. It makes a big difference in repeat business.
All in all we had a good time and the drinks were good. Great way to support local distilleries and small business.
This is one of my favorite distilleries to go to and have cocktails. The lounge is very art deco with a speakeasy vibe. The bartenders are actual mixologists that know what they're doing. They know their product and they know it well. The distillate itself has come a long way since first opening. I'm a big fan of their gin. Their rye is starting to mature well too. I have high hopes for their bourbon as it continues to mature.
Fantastic place!
The two cocktails we ordered + one secret recipe one were absolutely outstanding.
The place resembles more of an upscale speak easy and is very pleasant.
Eric and Keylen were wonderful, very welcoming and great to chat with. We have enjoyed our experience immensely and will certainly be back
Friendly and knowledgeable staff provide some tasty and unique cocktails. My significant other suggests they need to have a bloody mary bloody available (after all, they make vodka on the premises). Next time, I'm bringing a friend or friends.
Such a nice environment with incredibly crafted drinks! The interior is well designed with a variety of seating options; booths, tables & bar. The bartender and host were so nice and helpful. The drinks were amazing! I chose a build you own gin & tonic and it was delicious. I highly recommend coming here for drinks!
