Doundrins Distilling 300 Progress Drive, Cottage Grove, WI 53527

"This place is a true hidden gem. The outdoor space is great for kids, the cocktails are amazing and very reasonably priced. We hosted a private event here, and it was extremely reasonably priced, we had 10-15 kids that loved playing on the playground, and Doundrins staff was extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Doundrins for private events! We used to live close to Doundrins, and when we did we would put our small kids in the bike trailer and park the bikes there. The kids called it mommy and daddy's special park, because we could drink cocktails while the kids played on the playground. It's a great place to spend an afternoon, or a few hours after dinner!"

"Great venue and location with plenty of seating and a playground that’s fenced in for the kids! We love places that are kid friendly! They have an awesome cocktail menu with a variety of flavored liqueurs. The XXX and Jessica’s Spicy Melon’s were delicious. The bartender was also great and super friendly, we came in within an hour of closing and she was more than willing to help us grab a drink and a bag of chips for the beer garden! We cannot wait to come back!"

"I thought the bar tenders were very good, and our drinks were good as well. This place is very young child friendly, with a kids play area. So, if you have young kids and would rather take them to a distillery than the park, this place is for you."

"Cool location, recently improved outdoor seating area and stage for live music. Drinks were good but overly sweet and based on sugary liqueurs more than anything else. Service wasn't very good, no greeting when we walked in and virtually no information provided, felt more like dive bar service than distillery."

"My husband and I have been coming here for a while now so when we needed to find an outdoor alternative for our paired down wedding reception a month before the event in September, Doundrins was our first thought. We reached out to see if this was something that was even possible, as they've never done a wedding reception before, and Ryan took it and ran! After meeting with him a few times, Ryan essentially said "send me all the details, some pictures, and we will make it happen". Abby worked with our caterer to ensure details were good to go and we were always in communication with someone on the Doundrins team which took so much stress away for us. We cannot thank Ryan, Abby, and the rest of the Doundrins team for whipping up the perfect reception for us on such short notice and being flexible, accommodating, and going above and beyond for us. *All photos taken by Pearl and Opal Photography.
