    This uptown New Orleans gem consistently wins over visitors with its passionate approach to craft spirits and warm hospitality. The distillery tour stands out as exceptionally informative and engaging, with staff like Kevin, Morgan, and Becky tailoring experiences to guests' interests and sharing behind-the-scenes insights that enthusiasts particularly appreciate. The tasting sessions showcase impressive spirits—reviewers rave about the bourbon, amaretto, and chocolate liqueur—while the cocktail menu offers creative drinks worth exploring. Families appreciate that kids are welcome too, with mocktails available for younger visitors. The atmosphere feels genuinely inviting, with friendly bartenders who clearly love what they do and take time to explain their craft. The outdoor space gets specific praise for sunny day relaxation. One visitor did experience a frustrating delay when a tour ran late and service stalled, but this seems to be an isolated incident rather than a pattern. The overall consensus points to knowledgeable staff, outstanding drinks, and a welcoming vibe that makes this a standout stop for both spirit connoisseurs and curious newcomers exploring the neighborhood.

    I recently visited the Old Alker Distillery, and the entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. The tour itself was incredibly engaging—informative without ever feeling overwhelming, and filled with interesting stories about the distillery’s history and craft. You can really tell how much passion goes into what they do. The drinks were absolutely amazing. Each tasting was smooth, rich, and full of character, making it easy to appreciate the care and skill behind every pour. Whether you're already a fan of fine spirits or just curious, you'll find something to love. The staff truly made the visit special. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They answered questions with enthusiasm and made the whole group feel right at home. To top it all off, the atmosphere was awesome—warm, inviting, and full of charm. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy good company, and soak in the surroundings. Overall, Old Alker Distillery is a must-visit. Great drinks, great people, great vibes. I’d go back in a heartbeat.
