Mockingbird Distillery & Smokehouse

I have to say... there truly are not many places I know that do it well like Mockingbird Distillery. The atmosphere alone is astounding with the custom cars on display, the AMAZING patio area, and a very on-brand chapel-esque indoor building (the brewery takes inspiration from Saint Arnold). The staff are all super warm and helpful, and it's clear they're excited about their work. I personally ordered the housemade rootbeer and I was floored by how good it was! 3 members of our group went on the tour and got drink tokens for answering trivia questions about the brewery. There were a few other events happening while we were there as well. This is a MUST see if you're in the area, a cool watering hole for your friends, and a beautiful venue for any event you have planned. Come check them out!!

This was a good little spot by my gate that had respectable prices to be an airport bar/restaurant. The bartender was extremely nice, and even remembered me by name, and also remembered what drink I had ordered when asking if I wanted another one. The bar area itself is kind of small, but it certainly gets the job done.

Edward the bartender, is awesome! I had a few hours here at the airport this evening and while I got some work done and hung out I constantly heard him communicating with his customers, asking them questions, making people laugh, etc. He got to know people's names and it was just an overall awesome experience. He seems to love his job and I hope he is well taken care of! I wasn't sure of hanging out here in the airport, but solely for the friendly vibe and service it should be the go-to spot.
