How we started
Where craft and events come together
The Distillery was born out of Spirited Union, where craftsmanship and creativity have come together for years in blending botanicals into characterful spirits. From that same vision, Spirited Union and BarsOnSight combined their experience in hospitality, drinks and events to create a concept where business and fun flow together naturally.
Our premium venue is The Distillery in Amsterdam: a working distillery full of flavour, energy and experience. At the same time, the same experience can also be built up at other partner venues, such as our Barschool or selected external locations. That way, the concept comes to life not only inside the distillery, but also in places where the setting and audience perfectly align.
The result is a one-stop-shop for organisers who want to make an impression with an event that goes beyond just a beautiful location. From venue, staff and drinks to workshops and experience, everything comes together in one premium event concept.
Our vision: letting business and fun flow together
We believe the best events happen in places with character. Places where you feel the energy the moment you walk in. A working distillery offers exactly that: the raw industrial feel combined with warmth, flavour and story.
Our host mentality is central: from the first contact to the last guest leaving, we make sure the process runs smoothly, with sharp service and genuine attention.
This is not a standard venue. This is a place where every event gets its own character, fuelled by craftsmanship and driven by hospitality.
Why a working distillery feels different
- Authentic industrial atmosphere you won't find anywhere else
- Copper stills, botanicals and stills as a living backdrop
- Workshops as a unique addition to every event
- Our own bar with craft cocktails and spirits
- A team that thinks in possibilities, not limitations
