ABOUT LONG BRANCH DISTILLERY
A Modern NJ Distillery

Long Branch Distillery in NJ was founded in 2017 and after 2+ years of planning, construction, decorating, crying, throwing things and biting our lips, tongues and nails – we are proud to present our distilled spirits using the latest technology in the distilling world – the iStill. Our square, stainless steel, electric stills allow us to produce the most consistent, taste-rich spirits from batch one to one million. We’re glad you’re here and hope you share the same passion we do for sipping fine, craft spirits.

“Long Branch distillery is a very impressive operation and a great place to get a cocktail! It feels like being in a private club but it’s open to everyone!”

"When you walk through the front door you know your in for something special! The bar is gorgeous and the bartenders are top notch....... true mixologists. My husband got the “Light House White Pear” and I got a “Dirty Martini” made with in-house vodka. After getting our drinks we head upstairs to the most unique space I’ve seen in a while. Decorated with amazing finds.... put together in beautiful seating areas in a wide-open, but comfortable space. Definitely going back soon and bringing friends."
