Absolutely! Earp Distilling Co. offers tasty and inspired mocktails in our bar & restaurant, as well as soft drinks, and the distillery itself has a rich history that diners can enjoy without the emphasis on alcohol. We are currently working on expanding our experiences offerings to include non-alcoholic options - watch this space!

While we would love to welcome your furry friends, we are not a pet-friendly venue and do not have outdoor seating. Service animals will always be accepted.

There is no difference between these options, please select either. All bookings made through OpenTable will be manually allocated by our staff to the most appropriate Bar & Restaurant seating on the day. If you have a preferred seating arrangement (ex. at the bar, at a low table, with a highchair, at a window) please make a note when booking. On days where our bar is particularly busy, we may open tables in our Barrel Hall as well.

You are welcome to cancel or reschedule your distillery experience booking up to 14 days prior to the class for a full refund or no-fee change. Changes requested within 7 days will result in a 75% refund OR 25% per person rescheduling fee. Changes requested within 48hrs will result in a 50% refund OR 50% rescheduling fee. Refunds and rescheduling availability outside of these cutoff periods are completely at the discretion of Earp Distilling Co. All no-shows to classes will be marked as cancellations. 

Absolutely! You are welcome to pop around any time. Take advantage of a sunny day to explore Carrington or hide out from the rain, and find your new favourite cocktail. We have weekly bar specials including wallet-friendly Lunches, Happy Hour and Grazing Menus, as well as self-guided Tasting Flights you can enjoy without prebooking.

Our venue aims to be as accessible as possible and welcomes feedback on how we can continue to improve. The distillery is a single story, with ramps and unobstructed paths throughout making access easier for those with mobility aides. We have a single-occupant accessible restroom, as well as ambulant toilets in each of the gendered restrooms. We have low table options, and large text menus available in our front bar and restaurant. Our venue can become rather noisy on weekend nights and in peak season, so if you have sensory issues related to sound you may want to call ahead.
