ChicagoistMay 26, 2015CH Distillery is like a temple to vodka. Enjoy their vodka neat, on the rocks, or order The Tradition: the classic Russian method where you smell rye bread, take the shot and eat a pickle. Read more
mc.September 21, 2013hidden gem in the West Loop! love that all of the vodka/gin/mixers etc. are created in house. small plates are great for sharing. sophisticated + divine experience!
Sean Maccarone-ReedJanuary 30, 2015Try the Cease and Desist. Word is in used to be named after OxyContin, until they were served with a cease and desist letter to change the name.
Emily TNovember 2, 2013The czech mate is awesome! My husband has had better Moscow Mule's elsewhere though. And while the pumpkin dessert cocktail sounds good in your mind, it does not deliver in reality.
- Elizabeth H.August 14, 2014Rosemary's Baby cocktail is incredible, can't wait to bring home their peppercorn vodka. Grab a cocktail and definitely do the tour!
- Natalie FMarch 21, 2018Great mixologists! Recommend the short ribs and burger. Came here for my birthday and will return again!
Redeye ChicagoJanuary 27, 2015Try the spirit of du Sable, which was created from distilling Ale Syndicate's du Sable hoppy saison, mixed with honey syrup and bitters in the In Good Company cocktail. Read more- Emily JurlinaOctober 24, 2014The Cease and Desist is hands down one of the best drinks I've had in Chicago.
Hollie SmithSeptember 3, 2013The smoky gin in the OxyContin is to. die. for. Bloody Mary's aren't bad either - nice & spicy!
Staff PicksJanuary 14, 2016Warm up this winter with the hottest toddies Chicago has to offer. This delicious drink is made with chestnut bourbon, lemon, honey syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Ewelina PudziszJuly 2, 2015Very relaxing spot, the drinks weren't as strong as I'd like, but tasted decently overall, definitely will visit again, service was very attentive, so that's a big plus.
Bianca GuidryAugust 20, 2014This is probably one of the cooler spots I've been to. I mean...they make their own gin and vodka! Truly crafted drinks.
Marisela CadenasJanuary 24, 2016Very innovative concept with handcrafted spirits. Unique drinks: persuasion, what she's having and so on.
Ariel HermanOctober 24, 2018Great service, cocktails, and snacks. Has a few board games to play as well.
Serious EatsMarch 31, 2014Try this distillery's vodka at their bar, with a slice of rye bread and pickles, for the full effect.
Mollie TavelOctober 23, 2013Order the cease and desist... Formerly known as the OxyContin! Delicious.
David EldridgeOctober 18, 2013There is an unadvertised sampler for the price of a cocktail where you can try four of the Liquors.- Kristina WangOctober 9, 2013Love the Czech Mate Cocktail. Do NOT order the overpriced nuts - $6 for an average-tasting, tiny portion.
- Serious EatsSeptember 13, 2013Cocktails here start with grain, which is milled and distilled on site.
Time Out ChicagoDecember 20, 2013The tradition at CH Distillery is one of the 100 best things we drank this year. http://tmout.us/rLOtk Read more
Scott KleinbergJanuary 24, 2016You'll need a reservation ... It's a small space with some pretty innovative drinks.
Shannon JeropkeNovember 4, 2021They have the same fancy cocktails you’d expect at the Violet Hour, but they’re less expensive
Theodore HuffAugust 16, 2013Liquor is very raw. Needs some time to age. Not a place to 'ball on a budget' I recommend the Czech Mate cocktail.
