Located just outside of Albany’s historic downtown, this small craft distillery was founded in 2011. Established with a deep respect for the region’s history of spirit production, the Albany Distilling Co. sits just a short distance from the site of Albany’s very first 18th century distillery. This cozy bar setting offers a wide range of spirits, mixed into cocktails or sold by the bottle.
What to expect at the Albany Distilling Co.
Situated inside a revamped 19th century Nabisco factory, the Albany Distilling Co. is the perfect spot to grab a drink with friends. Just down the block from the historic Palace Theater and a short drive to The Egg and other downtown attractions, this bar is the ideal first stop before a night out in the city. With a unique courtyard patio framed by exposed brick, the space exudes rustic charm. The bar’s relaxed atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to kick back and enjoy a cold beverage.
On the bar menu are a variety of cocktails made with the Albany Distilling Co.’s own handcrafted spirits. Try the Capital City Gimlet, a concoction of the distillery’s ALB Vodka, lime and simple syrup. Sample the Ironweed Bourbon Whiskey in a Knickerbocker Tea which also includes Caribe Tea, agave, lime and Nine Pin Signature Cider.
