VISIT US

Distillery

Our distillery is a full production facility that is closed to the public. Periodically we offer behind the scenes tours and tastes. Those events are advertised on our EVENTS tab above, on our Facebook events page and via our monthly emailed newsletter. Learn more about our tastes and tours at the bottom of this page.

Tasting Room

The storefront attached to our distillery is the Boldt Tasting Room, located at 324 South G. Street in Arcata. We do not have set hours but rather host pop ups approximately every other weekend. Each time we pop open, we host a different guest chef/type of cuisine for two days in a row. These events last for four hours or until we are sold out. For the latest updates send us your email for our newsletter and follow us on Instagram and Facebook.

How do our pop ups work?

Our pop ups are drop in/no reservations. Please be aware that we often have regulars line up before opening to secure a spot and space is limited. We appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm and patience.

Customers order cocktails and food at one of the two registers immediately upon entering. Cocktails are quickly prepared and handed to you. A buzzer is provided to let you know when your food is ready. Take any seat that is available.

When your buzzer goes off, you can pick up your food at the kitchen counter. Silverware is available there as well. There is a bus station just to the kitchen’s right for when you are done with your meal. We appreciate our customers bussing their own dishes as it cuts down on payroll costs which keeps our prices lower. We assist with bussing when we can and always sanitize tables between guests.

We are proud to say that all tips are equally distributed between the bar and kitchen staff. That means the chef takes home as much as the dishwasher and the bartender. After all, we are a team.

Please be aware we are not a typical restaurant.  We are a whiskey bar that periodically hosts guest chefs.  Our space is one big room and it tends to get quite lively and loud with happy, responsible grown ups!


Our pop ups can hit capacity quickly. If you arrive and see there are no seats are available, you have several options;

  1. Check in with the door person or staff at the front register. If there is standing room available you will be invited to come in for a cocktail and wait for a table to open up
  2. Try coming back later (it often slows down 2-3 hours in)
  3. Join us earlier at the next event!
