About the restaurant

At Philadelphia Distilling, our distilling team combines craftsmanship, science and skill to create a unique portfolio of premium spirits that rely on the agricultural integrity of authentically sourced grains and botanicals and the finest heritage equipment.

Hand-hammered copper pot stills from the fifth-generation Forsyth family and wooden fermentation vessels from Hall-Woodford, an iconic Philadelphia-based family business, are key points of difference for us—both in their construction value as well as the integrity of the spirits they help us to produce. We continue our batch-by-batch process, creating spirits that celebrate big, bold flavor.

We went on the tour with Val who was knowledgeable and made tasting so much fun. We got to try new gins and vodka. Food and service was excellent. Recommend going with a group of friends.

Dining at Go Fish is not just a meal, it’s an experience! They clearly take pride in providing the freshest seafood…the salmon is mouth watering! I always have a hard time deciding what to get, because everything is delicious. And for non seafood eaters, no worries, there are things on the menu for you also! Service is top notch. Atmosphere is classy yet chill. I LOVE coming here.
