This place is awesome! We had no idea it was here, we never really come out this way. Jenna is our server and she is friendly, hilarious, and on the ball! The Barbie mojito is delicious and this coconut curry dish is INCREDIBLE! Katie is the chef and she killed it, 3 bites in and I had to leave a review, wow! The on-site distillery and live music nights make this place an endless source of fun. Great pricing too, thanks guys! We'll definitely be back when we're in town again.

"text": "We had an enjoyable trip to Rig Hand Distillery. We had a large group of 9 people, and the main dining room was pretty full. The owners, who were very accommodating, put us upstairs despite the fact that their upstairs hall was being prepared for a concert that night. It was a hot day, so we ordered a few appetizers and some cold drinks. I tried the Ranch Hand seasonal beer and thoroughly enjoyed it. The owners checked in on us regularly and told us a bit about the distillery. Overall, it was a great visit! Highly recommended!",

"text": "You have to make your way to this one. A Great find. I had lunch on a Saturday for my Birthday. Moderately busy. The atmosphere and decor is top notch. Plenty of outdoor space and activities. A play ground for kids. Just pulling up to it is cool. The staff was great. relaxed, informative and suggestive. Responsive but not hovering your table pushing you out. For a guy that does reviews. It’s not often. You have a party of 5 with two kids. And the order comes out all correct and on time all at once, No mistakes or confusion. Shout out to the cooks here. The waitress also kept us hydrated, theres plenty of cool drink options to choice from. All pretty custom and with there twist. Ok. The food… it was plenty full and delicious, we all enjoyed our meals and had left over to take home.\nThey even bake their own pastries, cookies cinnamon buns in house. I even saw a jar on the bar with pickled eggs in it for 2$. They also have a small shop to purchase their product and merchandise. Great set up well done!\nI eat out a lot. Your team really nailed our experience!\n\nThis place would make an epic Christmas Party location for a mid sized private event. Im sure I saw a couple outdoor fire pits and even Looks like they have an outdoor stage. Honestly I Ran out of time looking at everything they provide and showcase.\n\n100% will revisit",

"text": "I was super interested in the garlic vodka for Caesar's and it does not disappoint! They use red Russian garlic and it's all cut by hand!\nFor the berry ones they do them seasonally- they use Evans Cherries in their cherry vodka. Any fruit comes from the local area. And they do lots of local sourcing for their ingredients and collaborations.\nDouble double is their version of Baileys- but better than Baileys! The last time we went they even had a carrot cake chai version and it was so delightful!\nSugar beet brum (rum), traditionally made with sugar cane, they use a more local ingredient: Sugar Beets from Southern Alberta. A-freaking-mazing! Such a clear crisp taste, perfect on the rocks.\nTheir wheat comes from across the road at a local farmers: Schneider's Farms. And a family fungi farm grows oyster mushrooms on their spent grain- very cool!\n\nThey have been open since Oct 2017 officially. In over 700 liquor stores in Alberta.\nOver 30 products, from vodka, gin, and a line of whiskey.\n\nI loved the named areas or equipment - that was adorable and made it really unique! Jelly Bean brewery spot, to the mid still Schatzi.\n\nI will definitely be back for some Christmas gift shopping and to bring some friends to their tasting room and gift shop. Nisku isn't that far away! Their space is stunning! I love the outdoor entering area, even a Teepee used for ceremonies. They have a beautiful upstairs area you can rent. And fantastic open taproom dining and of course a great tour area. Our distillery tour was top notch! Amazing story teller, full of knowledge and experiences. It made it so much more than just a tour of the distillery and the processes. Would highly recommend a tour!",
