Hartman's Distilling Co.

Tucked into the historic warehouse district at 55 Chicago Street, Hartman's Distilling Co. blends a classic American distillery with a modern cocktail bar and brunch spot. Guests can wander through a 1.5‑hour guided tour that reveals the copper‑still process, learn the story behind the company's signature American Dry Gin, and finish with a tasting of four curated whiskey samples. The tasting room, open daily from 11 am to 10 pm, serves a rotating menu of handcrafted drinks—think the Hartman's Old Fashioned, a Loganberry Vodka Seltzer, and a spicy Cubano cocktail—paired with elevated bar snacks such as house‑made nachos, smoked brisket sliders, and a weekend brunch featuring eggs Benedict, avocado toast, and seasonal fruit. The interior mixes reclaimed wood, industrial lighting, and vintage distilling equipment, creating a warm, communal atmosphere that feels both historic and lively. Private parties can be hosted in the Bondsmen Club or the barrel‑room, with bottle service and custom cocktail menus available. Outside the tasting room, the on‑site store sells small‑batch bourbon, rye, gin, and flavored vodkas for home enjoyment. Whether you’re a local looking for a new happy‑hour haunt or a visitor seeking an authentic Buffalo experience, Hartman's offers a memorable blend of spirits, food, and community.
