We went for the blending date night last night and had a wonderful time! We got to taste a ton of flavor options and mix and match what we wanted. The food was delicious and definitely worth the price included in the ticket. Nes and Elliott were very helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. We will definitely be back to try blending a different alcohol!

We had our engagement party in the function room at Earps and were very impressed with the events team managed by Kat. Kat and the team were incredibly helpful and laid-back, which made the day so much more enjoyable and stress free. The event space was perfect for the number of guests and the bar staff were efficient in servicing drinks and were friendly towards all our guests. No request was ever too much and the team was happy to accomodate our many questions and visits to the venue prior to the event. Thanks again team!

I had a fantastic dining experience at Earp Distilling Co., dining alone and enjoying every moment of it. The atmosphere of the venue is welcoming, elegant, and perfectly suited for a relaxing evening. For my meal, I started with the Lamb Skewers seasoned with garlic, chilli, and oregano served with fresh rocket. The lamb was cooked perfectly, juicy and tender with a delightful hint of spice from the chilli, complemented beautifully by the peppery rocket. Next, I enjoyed the Spatchcock with Vanilla Carrot Puree, Broccolini, and Master Stock—a house favourite and understandably so. The vanilla carrot puree was particularly outstanding—smooth, rich, and bursting with flavour. It paired excellently with the crispy-skinned, succulent spatchcock and fresh broccolini. Throughout the evening, the service was great, attentive, warm, and genuinely friendly. To accompany my dinner, I opted for sparkling mineral water, although the gin menu and cocktails looked amazing. Overall, Earp delivered a great experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone.

I visited Earp for a banquet dinner with another 10 work colleagues. We had the $79pp banquet and each had around three drinks. The distillery and restaurant looks incredible. Inside it's very funky and stylish, with a super slick and fancy feel to it. Perfect for a classy work function or Romanic date. The banquet was well priced for what we got - which was an exciting array of tasty plates, topped off with some of the best steak and Barramundi you'll ever have. We were all stuffed and unable to finish it, so they kindly gave us takeaway containers. The food was all fresh and tasty. Meat was cooked just the way I like it - medium. Portions were spot on and they staggered the dishes wisely. The drinks were amazing - which they had to be, it being a distillery. Every drink had a fun and unique twist to it and they weren't crazy over priced. Totally recommend trying their whiskey - smooth as. Overall we had a great dinner and really appreciated the fantastic service from the polite staff.
