American, Burgers, Cocktail Bar, Bar · Knysna · RR
Tucked away in Knysna's industrial quarter on Uil Street, this working gin distillery doubles as a lively cocktail bar and eatery. Watch the distillation process while sampling craft gins made on-site, then settle in for perfectly mixed cocktails that showcase their botanical spirits. The menu leans American with solid burgers and comfort food that pairs well with the gin-forward drinks list.
The industrial-chic setting feels authentic rather than contrived, with exposed beams and distillery equipment creating a relaxed, urban vibe. It's become a popular spot for both gin enthusiasts wanting to learn about the craft and locals looking for a casual meal with well-made drinks. The knowledgeable staff are happy to talk you through the distilling process and recommend cocktails based on your taste. It's an easy-going place that works equally well for a casual lunch or evening drinks with friends.
