    What makes it fun

    The Tasting Room at J. Rieger & Co. Distillery is available seven days a week for visitors to enjoy a cocktail, light bite, or a flight of our spirits. The Monogram Lounge, which overlooks the distillery's production floor, is a vibrant, open gathering room that serves a wide range of cocktails, small meals, and Heim Beer on draft. Join us for an hour-long tour of our historic distillery. Learn our brand's history, from its inception during the boisterous years when the city boasted "the wettest block in the world," through its premature end at the beginning of Prohibition, and eventual resurgence over a century later. One of our trained guides will lead you through a spirits tasting at the end of your tour.

    Great place for a group of 10 persons. Great fun too. They have a slide that even adults can play.

    They close bars for private events and you can't call ahead to check. Not worth the journey to get there.

    Erik and Wesley were great on July 4th. Was not busy despite the holiday and FIFA game. The slide makes adults squeal with joy.

    I love everything about this place! This visit was for a day party experience on the patio. From the esthetics to the service, it was very pleasant.

    Staff was so friendly. I didn't know what to think walking in. I was shown many different environments with great food and drinks.

    When I'm back in town I'll be back!

    Some of it wasn't my favorite straight up, but most was good to very good. The food was great. Cocktails were A+ too. Great vibes and fun place

    Had an absolute blast! The tour was fantastic. This history of the brand and building were so interesting. All the bartenders are top notch and the happy hour prices were unbeatable. Will definitely visit again next time we are in KC!

    I love J Reigers and go often. It's the first stop we make when I have family from out of town.

    Had a great time. Went on the middle tour and they did a great job and the tasting was excellent. We stayed for Happy Hour which was fun. We want to do the signature tour someday. Go if you get the chance, the history is pretty cool.

    Very fun venue to visit if you like cocktails and good food. It has a shop, restaurant upstairs, night club in the basement, tasting bar, and outside bar. I was with a group and tried several of the food items. The potatoes were amazing. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with a little sour cream that was spiced and salt on top. I liked all of the food. I asked that the beef tenderloin be cooked medium rare and it melted in my mouth. I also enjoyed the amaro based cocktail with cold brew and spices.

    This is a fun place! Period!

    We missed out on the distillery tour so I can't comment on that but the atmosphere is, well, electric!!!

    We tried multiple drinks and every single one was better than the last. The bartender was courteous and very knowledgeable not only about liquor but it's pairing.

    My only gripe, we went there for lunch and they didn't have any food other than a steamed veggie tray. GIVE ME SOME FRIED CHICKEN 😂. The dinner menu looked delicious though.

    I would highly recommend this place. Take your gal on a date here... she'd be blown away!

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting this impressive distillery that left me thoroughly impressed. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a sense of awe at the sheer size and offerings of this establishment. The experience began with the convenience of pre-ordering a bottle of bourbon online, ensuring a seamless pickup process.

    What truly set this distillery apart was the exceptional service provided by the friendly and attentive servers. They were knowledgeable about the various spirits on offer and were more than happy to answer any questions I had. Their warm demeanor created a welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home.

    One of the highlights of my visit was the patio area, where I spent most of my time due to the fact that I had my furry companion with me. The distillery's commitment to accommodating pet owners was evident, as they provided ample shade and thoughtfully placed dog bowls throughout the patio area. It was refreshing to find a place that catered to both humans and their four-legged friends.

    To my delight, I discovered that the distillery also offered a happy hour promotion. The drinks during this time were offered at half off the regular price, and they were truly outstanding. I found the happy hour beverages to be not only great in taste but also incredibly refreshing, perfectly complementing the ambiance of the distillery.

    In summary, this distillery left me thoroughly impressed with its vast size, friendly staff, pet-friendly atmosphere, and excellent happy hour offerings. I would highly recommend visiting this establishment to anyone looking for a remarkable experience. Whether you're a cocktail making enthusiast, a dog lover, or simply seeking a delightful happy hour, this distillery has something to offer everyone.

    Excellent experience.
    The tour was packed with wonderful info and was an absolute joy. Ending with a tasting left me feeling like we certainly got our money's worth. Our tour guide was exceptional.
    Once done, a visit to the monogram lounge is a must. Excellent atmosphere in this lounge space coupled with incredible food made for a wonderful end of the day.
    Nina showed off the amazing Hey Hey lounge to my group which has only made us all the more likely to find reasons to come here again.
    Overall an incredible day and wonderful experiences.

    We reserved a room to host a surprise 60th birthday for a family member who loves J. Rieger. The room felt like an executive office surrounded by stacks of barrels and the staff treated us like royalty. It was a very great experience, and renting the room included four signature cocktails and a few hours secluded from the rest of the building. The staff were amazing, very attentive to our needs and ensuring the drinks were flowing and fun was had by all
