J Riley Distillery - Redlands

Really awesome place beautiful building at outside in seating areas a lot of really cool drinks the food was really good with nice portions only problem here is no high end liquor at the most beautiful bar in town little bit disappointing that therewasn't at least one shot that was almost out of reach I'm always looking for the highest end spirits and this seems like a placethat might have it, but they didn't

Thursday mid day service at bar was amazing!!!! Female bartender was on top of our drinks and sparking conversation. After she left, guy with glasses was rude and it took us 29 minutes to get a drink, he showed attitude the entire time. Over all good vibebut service is slow depending on staff.

I came here with the wife and kids for a simple dinner and some drinks. We parked across the street and walked in through the corner of Eureka and Oriental Avenue. This entrance was a little confusing as you walk-in through the back of the facility. Forsomeone who is new to the place, it can get pretty confusing. My first thought was, oh, you sit yourself. Quickly we figuredout we were on the wrong side. We walked across the restaurant (to the front) to find the hostess. Our waitress for theafternoon was Amelia and she did a wonderful job. She explained the different drinks to us and also recommended a couple. Iordered the ?Black Irish Mule.? This drink had a nice flavor of berries to it, with a taste of whiskey. It was very refreshingfor a hot summer afternoon. The second drink I ordered was much stronger than the first. The ?Outdoorsman? is black pepperinfused 1775 whiskey, with honey-Thyme syrup, cardamom house aromatic blend bitters. The best part of the drink is the outdoorsmell!!! The waiter comes over, puts a top over the drink, and smokes the drink. It?s quite a seen and it gives the whiskey asmoky taste. For appetizer we ordered the elote capeado. It?s tempura sweet corn, cotija cheese, chipotle Mayo and cilantro. Itdid not disappoint!!! I had never tasted anything like it. It was a very unique way to prepare corn. Finally, for the main dishI ordered ?The Porker.? It?s a sandwich with drenched house bourbon BBQ pulled pork. It was decent, but I was expecting moreflavor out of it. JR distillery gave my family and I a warm welcome. Although this might appear as an adult only place, therewere at least three other families as well, enjoying the great ambiance JR distillery has to offer.

Good. Not super inventive menu but I haven?t really been disappointed. I don?t drink so I can?t speak for the bar. Sausages and pretzels are fun. Breakfast on the weekend is also good. Lots of military flags hanging which leads me to worry if it?s anenvironment with extreme right wing views. So far it has felt safe enough.

This place was pretty good, not the best. I did like the appetizers. The bread stick wheel thing is delicious. Their burgers are good as well. I didn't really care for their onion rings, hard pass. They also have pretty goof drinks. The service is notthe best as I think they have to cover too many tables, but nice and friendly atmosphere, good vibes.
