I came here on a Thursday around 7 pm to meet friends for trivia, and the place was packed. It was a great turnout. Fun energy. Trivia usually starts at 6 pm, but they pushed it back because of the Padres game. The service was excellent from start to finish. I ordered a cocktail off their menu then asked for a cucumber martini, and they had no problem making it. It turned out great. We shared the pizza, wings, and fries, and everything tasted great. The service was awesome all night despite how busy they were. Overall, such a fun night. Great energy, good food, and delicious drinks. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.

Love this spot. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and somehow the windows are always unbelievably clean. I may be a little biased because we clean them, but every time I stop by I’m reminded why glass is supposed to be invisible. 😆 The bourbon selection is awesome, the cocktails are on point, and the staff always make you feel welcome. Whether you’re hanging out inside or enjoying the outdoor seating, it’s just one of those places that’s easy to spend a few hours at. Come for the drinks, stay for the crystal-clear view through the cleanest windows in town. 🍻🪟😂 Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area.

I honestly love coming to this bar — it’s hands down my favorite spot. It’s one of those places where you walk in and instantly feel at home. The atmosphere is always on point, the drinks are great (they make the best tequila mule 👌), and the kitchen never disappoints. Whether it’s a quick bite or a full meal, the food is always solid and hits the spot. Big love to Amy, Rob, Dylan, Dani, Dobbs, Elise, Elisa, Erica, Dave, and James — you guys are the reason I keep coming back. The laughs, the chats, and the way you remember people and make everyone feel welcome really means a lot. It never feels like “just a bar,” it feels like my bar. Appreciate all of you (and the awesome kitchen team!) for always making it such a good time. See you again soon 🍻

Definitely will be the newest neighborhood East Village bar/distillery/restaurant! Two stories of absolute amazingness! The owners, staff, atmosphere could not be friendlier more welcoming and incredible. They distill their own whiskey, vodka and gin which tastes so good/delicious! Everything we have tried on the menu could not be fresher and better and the cocktail menu is amazing. Even the merchandise is a must wear! Thank you Storyhouse for coming back to East Village, we missed you and you opened better than ever! This place is a must must visit, whether you live in the neighborhood, county or just visiting for a few days. You will not be disappointed! “Everyone has a story to tell!”

Great place, great vibes, and awesome staff. This was my first time at Storyhouse Spirits and it's small intimate space welcomes you right away. The upper level was reserved for a friend's private engagement party. Nice spacious room overlooking the distillery. Such a great space, in my opinion. The drinks were refreshing and the food was really really tasty, although beef sliders were abit on the dry side someone mentioned, The second batch of beef sliders didn't disappoint. I was also told...the vegan sliders were my choice and very good. I had 5 ! Aside from three choices of sliders, there was pizza hot from the pizza oven on the first floor. Great experience, this little hidden jem at the corner of 13th and J Street.
