Honor the Journey. Respect the Craft. Take No Shortcuts.
Long Road Distillers is Grand Rapids, Michigan's first distillery, crafting award-winning grain-to-glass spirits from locally sourced ingredients 100% on-site. We are not only dedicated to making world-class spirits right here in Grand Rapids, but also to curating the best cocktail bar and restaurant in West Michigan. The first floor of Long Road Distillers is a 90-seat bar and restaurant that allows us to highlight our spirits in a variety of handcrafted cocktails, paired with farm-fresh food.

The Rickhouse, Long Road's second floor, is dedicated to private events, cocktail classes, concerts and more. The word "rickhouse" refers to the name of a traditional whisky barrel storage facility, primarily found in Kentucky and Tennessee. The Rickhouse provides numerous views of the distillery and stills below, has two large restrooms dedicated to the event space, and has a standalone bar for drink service during events.

The capacity of the Rickhouse is 160, but for seated events, we try to keep the guest count to 120 people or less. This allows for an appropriate amount of room for food, dancing, and mingling.

The cost to rent the space on Fridays and Saturdays is $100/hr (3 hour minimum) with a $500 food and beverage minimum. Sunday-Thursday, space rental is $50/hr (3 hour minimum) with a $300 food/beverage minimum.
