Okay guys. This place blew me away! We did the 2 bourbon/whisky flights on the menu. We were impressed with both. We also had the barrel aged old fashioned which was a nice orange forward drink. We had the winter harvest salad and a walleye appetizer that were both amazing. The pork was THE best pork dish I've ever had (and if you follow me you know I travel a lot and love to eat.) We had apple fritters for dessert and espresso martinis and both were top notch. Our bartender Napoleon gave the absolute best service with extra touches that made our night even more special. We will 100% be back and I'm only sorry we didn't find this place sooner! Hands down my favorite distillery/restaurant in Columbus. Move over Watershed ?

The tour was great, and the tasting was even better. Everyone was so very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to drink and try future bourbons. I did the tour and Glencairn, and it's nice getting a souvenir to remember your trip.

This review is low for one reason-online ordering process and communication sucks! My husband ordered two bottles for a good friend ($200 order) and was informed to allow 3 weeks. Middle West uses a fullfillment company, Speakeasy, for their online ordering and shipping. They are based in Cali. Monday, the week of the delivery anticipation, he received an email to be looking for timeframe of day and time window of when to expect delivery. That was the only correspondence before a delivery was attempted! Friday 10am he received an email someone attempted delivery! Yet we weren’t notified to be certain someone 21+ would be able to receive the delivery! When he attempted to find out how to get it re-delivered, not only was there NO apology or acknowledgment from Middle West, the man we spoke to was almost reflecting “put out” attitude.Re delivery was such a debacle, so decided to just locate the delivery company, Mercury Delivery Services (they were attentive and professional and apologised even though they were not involved in the lack of communication) and drove to South Columbus location to retrieve the package.We do not drink any alcohol, but I will never buy their product as gifts because of the lack of care or ownership of the issue. If you reside in Ohio and want to give spirits for gifts, support 451Spirits and go visit the Distillery and purchase in person.

Did a tour and dinner here with two other people and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Parking at MWS can be a bit difficult, but we were able to secure a spot in the lot. It's a super cute building from the outside, smaller than I thought on the inside from looking at aerial pictures. The bottle shop is small, but cute. The gentleman at the desk seemed very uninterested in speaking to us, being friendly, and barely looked up from his device. So that was kind of a crappy first impression. But out of everything that was probably the only sour note of the night. The tour was great- very informative, very behind-the-scenes. The tasting included their standard bourbon, vodka, stone fruit vodka, and their gin. I wish that it had included more bourbon or maybe one of their ryes instead of 2 vodkas or the gin, but I get playing to the masses. We had made a reservation ahead of time and got a great booth. We were the only ones in the restaurant at 6:15 on a Friday which seemed a little strange, but it picked up shortly after. Service was great, our server was very friendly. As far as food went, we got a little bit of everything- chicken sandwich, burger, Pappardelle, duck fat fries, Caesar salad, their cask flight, and an old fashioned. EVERYTHING was fantastic. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the size of the Pappardelle dish, it was definitely too small. But everything tasted fantastic. Fries were great, bourbon was great. They had a really nice selection of their own spirits at the bar and I loved that. The bartender even went to the bottle shop to get a bottle to open because the bar didn't have one available- so impressed with that. Really enjoyed our time here and would definitely come back. I do wish their menu was a little bigger- it's only a handful of items- because the food was super delish. Would definitely recommend this place.

1) You HAVE to do the distillery tour. It's not super long (about 45 mins.), but is very informative and definitely fun and worth it. The Honey Vanilla Bean Vodka is outstanding. 2) Go eat at their restaurant afterwards. The food is great and they have a wide variety of drinks to enjoy with your food.

Just left this place. The young man in the bottle room was more interested in his phone than talking to me about their products. Was excited to try a new bourbon, only got to try the cask strength bourbon which was ok. Left without trying anything else or buying anything because I felt like I was inconveniencing this young man to wait on me and he seemed like he could care less if I was there. Terrible experience.

The manager at Middle West Spirits was really great and allowed us a tasting before they opened. Wonderful spirits as we tasted 3 of their select line of their liquid gold whiskeys. Sorry but I can't remember their names but they were most enjoyable. Hey, make reservations for dinner! The staff was a lot of fun . Thanks to the staff for a marvelous experience.
