I’ve been here before but I came specifically for Silent Book Club! Very fun. Packed house. Extra seating in the back. I loved it. The staff is wonderful and Chino was chillen in the warehouse.
So we would of loved to like this place as the cocktails were good but the customer service by one girl, not so much. We came in and sat at the bar. She looked at us a few times but did not say anything until I said hi then she came over to take our drink order. Not pleasant at all. She spent more time on her phone than anything. There was another girl that eventually showed up, seemed new but very pleasant and sociable. I wish I would of gotten her name.
This place is very relaxing to hang out for drinks and have a good time with your friends, all the staff is very friendly and the drinks were very good, I would definitely come back!
Absolutely love this place. The staff is wonderful and the are fantastic. They have classic drinks and new ones created by the staff. The decor is inviting and comfortable. And if your lucky you might get to see Cino wondering around.
A low key local distillery with an amazing rotating cocktail and mocktail list. Several nights a week they have music and Sunday they have trivia. Comfy seating and very dog friendly!
Of all the local distilleries I’ve tried, 8th Day is my favorite. They have spectacular spirits and an amazing seasonal cocktail menu! After I tried their products for the first time at the Yelp Totally Bazaar, I had to plan a visit to their bar and bottle shop. I just wish it wasn’t so far off the beaten path. The big, industrial space near the Circle City Industrial Complex is a great place to unwind with a drink, but beyond a handful of artist studios and the Indy Winter Farmers Market, there really isn’t much around that would draw you to the area otherwise. Despite that, it was still a busy scene on a Saturday evening. We found a spot at the bar and chatted up the bartenders while they made us a couple cocktails — watching them mix everything up is half the fun! They were very friendly, knowledgeable about their products and happy to share the back story of 8th Day. I’m typically a bourbon drinker, and theirs is exceptionally smooth. That combination with their great variety of house-made simple syrups really made these drinks stand out.
Had a great time at 8th Day. The cocktails are very inventive and the menu is constantly changing. The bartender was knowledgeable and whipped us up some amazing cocktails. My personal favorite was "Citrus got real", but I don't know if that will do anyone any good since it may be off the menu next week.
