Lost Ark Distilling Company - Columbia

I recently attended the distillery's Amazing Drag Brunch Holiday event, which included a ticket for the show and one cocktail. However, I was disappointed to find out that they only offered special brunch drink options during the event, rather than the core drinks I had seen online. Additionally, they were out of bourbon and could only offer rum-based drinks. The staff were incredibly friendly and allowed me to sample different rums to find the best mix with ginger beer. I chose the tropical spiced rum, which was tasty but a bit diluted. The event was enjoyable, with great seating and fantastic queens. The venue was clean and welcoming. I would definitely return for a tasting flight, as the rum surpassed my expectations, and I would love to learn more about the distillery on a tour.

Our experience at Lost Ark was fantastic! The owner and his wife were so welcoming and knowledgeable. I highly recommend anyone in the area who enjoys spirits to visit Lost Ark.

My husband and I tried something unique for our "DATE NIGHT" and we absolutely loved it! Brad was very knowledgeable and Jen was lively, flavorful, and kept us smiling throughout the evening. We will definitely be returning.

Me and 11 of my friends had the best time here celebrating my birthday. The reservation spots fill quickly so you have to be fast on the draw for larger parties. The owner contacts you directly to ensure you have the best experience and even conducts the tour portion of your visit. Brad and Joe were very helpful with getting me the space that I wanted for my friends and Brad was kind and very knowledgeable about everything distillery! It makes sense though right otherwise the products would not have been so tasty: Oh and let me tell you that every rum flavor and the bourbon was outstanding! Everyone bought bottles to take home on top of the one that I gifted them for coming. My favorite was the Caramel flavor but several others liked the coconut and dark rum flavors. All are a must try and this place is a hidden gem. While they do not serve food, they do have QR codes for food trucks that stop by or pizza can be delivered to the location. During the summer there is indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor is picnic table style under an umbrella. I hope they stay around for a long time. Good quality people and good quality rum.

We enjoyed the tour and tasting at Lost Ark Distilling Company. The tour, limited to 12 people, was the perfect number. Brad, the owner, shared how his journey into the business began and demonstrated his passion during the tasting. While I enjoyed the tour, I was eager for the tasting. Brad walked us through 7-8 rums and liqueurs again showcasing his knowledge and passion for Rum.My friends and I enjoyed ourselves!At the end of the day you leave rooting for the small business owner.If it's a solo adventure, date night, or group outing Lost Ark Distillery will not disappoint!
