THE DISTILLERY BAR
Golf course clubhouse and remarkable pub

The Edgefield Distillery Bar sits under the same roof as the Distillery, on the property's southern border, in what was once a potato-shed-turned-horse-stables. With literal windows onto the past, a handsome back bar, truly intriguing pipe sculptures and a cozy wood stove, the Distillery Bar is a favorite gathering spot at Edgefield.

Hours: Sunday, 8 a.m.–1 a.m.
Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.–1 a.m.
Friday, 10 a.m.–2 a.m.
Saturday, 8 a.m.–2 a.m.
*** Non-smoking ***

Boasting a series of etched glass windows that once adorned The White Horse Inn and Bellman's Cross Inn -- undoubtedly fine old English taverns -- the front and back bars also have a story to tell here: the back bar dates to Prohibition times and the front bar is a newly fashioned piece from a proud alder tree that once graced the property before becoming victim to an ice storm.

Other characteristics of the bar add to the rich ambience that radiates from these venerable furnishings. Leo Kottke, Bill Monroe, and other folk/bluegrass greats provide a lively soundtrack while bar offerings are highlighted by Manhattans, Martinis, Rob Roys, and other classic cocktails made with fresh-squeezed juices. As its name implies, the Distillery Bar also offers its own liquors -- wonderful brandies, scotch, and gin -- from the adjacent Edgefield Distillery. Make sure to take a peak at the 12-foot-high, gleaming copper-and-stainless-steel still situated behind a wall of glass, which resembles a hybrid of a 19th-century diving suit and an oversized coffee urn. While the still alone is an eyeful, visitors will be able to observe the whole distilling operation in process.
