Fiendishly well-hidden in an industrial area, this friendly little micro-distillery is worth the search. Drop by for Saturday or Sunday tours (2pm) or roll up to the tasting bar and grab one of their housemade gin, vodka or liqueurs – served in mismatched thrift-store glasses (three samples for $5). Alternatively, you can come for cocktails 5pm to midnight on Friday and Saturday.
