This place deserves more than a 5 star. This was my first time coming to this location. Out of all the years living in Clifton, NJ, I had no idea about this place and I will be back. I’m not much or a drinker, Bourbon and Whiskey at that. However, I was here celebrating my dear friend 43rd Birthday and I said “Why Not” and boy was I glad I did. I had the “Hibiscus Lemonade” and “Year Five 2.0”. The first drink was great, but that second one “Chef’s Kiss”. But what made my experience grand was the customer service. The team were so pleasant and fun to be around. Thank you Silk City for an amazing time.

My brother in law and I stumbled upon this place about a year ago and we are so happy we did. Tim his wife and staff are awesome and the cocktails are on another level. The spirits are absolutely delicious. We love them all but the bourbon is amazing!! Make sure to stop by, can't wait to go again!!

First timer and I highly recommend! Generous pours! Great and creative menu of drinks! Staff were super friendly and offered detailed explanations of our questions about the liquor and drinks! Don't miss this place!

Silk City Distillers is just amazing. They craft delicious and clever cocktails with a menu that changes seasonally. The staff is so warm, friendly, and welcoming, so my partner and I love coming and also taking our family and friends when they visit.

I stopped in a few weeks ago to get a wedding gift for someone who is a big bourbon fan. My husband, who knows a lot about bourbon, wasn't with me so I relied on the bar staff to help me.

Both girls were super nice and very helpful. I walked out feeling good about what I had selected as a wedding gift. Thank you!

Atmosphere is excellent- I actually wish we were locals because I have a feeling that would be a regular stop for us!!

We came to the area to stop by the brewery next door because we love beer. We decided to stop by here since it was literally a couple feet away and we also enjoy spirits. SO glad we did. This place was casual enough that you could just wander in however you were dressed but you were treated so well and you were given an elevated experience. Such great service, knowledgeable staff, clean facilities, and beautiful glassware. The gin is deliciously aromatic and so fresh. The bourbon was buttery and delicious, too. The cocktails were next level and Manhattan quality without the Manhattan price tag. We will definitely be coming back here, and we just texted our friends about it. You won’t be disappointed.

Hands down the best distillery around. My husband and I have been visiting Silk City since they opened. They are amazing people and have amazing drinks. During Covid, we picked up their to-go cocktails frequently. We were so thankful for this service, as it helped us maintain some sense of normalcy during such a challenging time in the world. Tonight we enjoyed being with Taylor and Jane. What an amazing experience, as always. Taylor's ability to connect with her guests is second to none. Looking forward to seeing their continued growth and success! We love you, Silk City!

Confused that I hadn't heard of this place sooner, since I live so close, but damn! Fire drinks. Of course we only got two, but both were rediclously tasteful and strong. I got the "Bourbon Rum Affair" and it was perfect - manly, powerful and fall centric, would absolutely get it again. Here's the description: Silk City Straight Bourbon, Silk City Dark Rum, Local Apple Cider, Silk City Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup, Red Wine Reduction, Lemon Juice, Nutmeg. I also tried the "The Snozzberries Taste like Strawberries" and it might have been even better! Here's the description: Silk City Quinoa Whiskey, Muddled Strawberries, Chardonay Reduction, Agave, Peppercorn, Lemon Juice. Both were wins. Price wise it was a great value for the drinks. The service was really good, super friendly and professional bartender. Overall I give Silk City Distillers a 4.4 out of 5, would 100% return!

Enjoy the tasting and an exceptionally delicious cocktail at the distillery. The bartenders were friendly, efficient, and highly skilled! I enjoyed this smoked old-fashioned tremendously and then had a tasting of their port finished, Madeira finished, and quinoa whiskeys.
Will be back to try more of their offerings!

Very impressed with the top notch bourbon, rye whiskey, gin, rum and more at Silk City Distillers. Awesome tour with Tim who clearly takes pride in his business and was genuinely engaged in educating us in the distillery process. His wife made us a couple awesome cocktails and was very warm and personable. We had an awesome time hanging out and enjoying the fine spirits. We will definitely be back with friends and we can’t wait!!

Top shelf bourbon, whiskey, rum and gin from New Jersey and NY grains - fermented, distilled and barreled right on site in Clifton. The millet bourbon and rum cask bourbon are favorites, and I really like their citrusy gin. They do a rotating menu of creative cocktails to showcase their liquor - oddly enough the tasting room has become my favorite neighborhood cocktail spot. The owners are a lot of fun, and we always learn something chatting with them about the process and the business of distilling. Definitely worth a visit.
