Reviews for Quincy Street Distillery in Riverside, IL
We thoroughly enjoyed our evening cocktails. It was great to watch Eddie create each drink for the guests. The spirits were... delightful. Eddie’s knowledge made this the perfect visit. Read more

Went for a tour here recently with the owner and it was lovely. This place has the vibe of a quaint, small-town distillery... that's focused on making extremely high-quality (but affordable) liquors. The tour was extremely detailed and the owner didn'tmind going over time to answer questions and provide more information, so definitely budget for ~2 hours to take the tour, havethe tastings, and chat. To address what I saw another reviewer mention about the owner being rude over the phone: I can'timagine him ever being straight-up rude (he's super friendly), but he was the only employee in the store during our tour, so Ican see him wanting to keep any phone calls short while he's simultaneously juggling tours and chatting with the patrons in thestore. The vibe in the store was never frazzled and we always felt like we had his full attention, so it seems like he's makingthe right trade-offs. Would absolutely recommend this tour, not just for the owner and the education, but also for the highquality of the liquors you'll get to try. Read more
One of our favorite destinations. We've enjoyed many if their spirits and expertly-crafted cocktails. Friendly ownership and... staff are always around to chat, teach, and mix a great drink. My personal favorite is the Retro/Metro Old Fashioned with theBottled in Bond Rye. Try everything! Read more
I was here pre-pandemic, and it was an awesome evening we still rave about! The still life/product photographer in me loved... photographing all our drinks, including the whiskey flights We aren't really whiskey or hard alcohol drinkers, but ourbartender was very friendly and patient, explaining the difference between the types of distilled spirits. She also indepthlyanswered questions about what my husband was looking to try. After inquiring about the distillery and asking questions aboutthe process, even though it was late at night, we received a quick impromptu tour of the distillery area with one other couple,which I thought was incredibly xenial! We learned a lot that night, both about the distilling process, as well as the finalspirits on the menu. I also loved the architecture of the historic industrial building the distillery is located in. Taking awalk to the restroom found me wondering how the walls were originally constructed before being remodeled. Read more
Place is really cool! We stopped in for drinks, but unfortunately due to current covid restrictions there was no indoor... seating. Owner was super cool & let us sample a couple of the spirits we were interested in and gave us info on each. Bought abottle of their rum and the 4 month aged bourbon. The young rested bourbon was amazing! Full of flavor and you can taste theoak. We'll be back! Coming for that Absinthe next! Read more
Just wow!!! We came to try a different distillery, but we got soooooo much more. The tour guide, in addition to talking about... the processes at the premises, gave a long, and detailed, account of the history of whiskey (and other liquors) in the USA. Itwas so fascinating and inspiring - this by far is one, if not the, best distillery tours I've been on... Not to mention thedozen spirits you get to sample at the end of the tour... Can't wait to come back.. Read more
This place is run by a super interesting guy who knows *everything* about whiskey. Take the tour!
