Young Hearts Distilling opened today at 4pm. I had thought they were under construction but nope. Very nice space, some really interesting and tasty food, and delicious drinks. ![20210814_161908](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/2X/5/5018cac4aa9e76d650b203160a343531d1f243e7.jpeg) ![20210814_162314](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/2X/a/aa977dfec8d9b5092a1305d9036b84505e94cd9a.jpeg) ![20210814_160959](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/2X/c/c5c83e05af1baf7d8d065acbc8bf1d39607fbcb5.jpeg) ![20210814_160527](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/2X/7/7e7e610467d20dfb9b887275aa8e96362c91156d.jpeg) (That one’s a little blurry; my phone tried to focus on the glass instead of the distilling equipment.) ![IMG_20210814_164155](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/2X/2/276bcc9ed23216b39a83318f1ea39906d5ba8d26.jpeg) ![IMG_20210814_164421](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/2X/9/9de8e90c065ed1f652ec00425c1ae44cf21443b3.jpeg) ![20210814_171452](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/2X/4/4a12e9a9ee9eea8bb1da9e56ceb5cc890a3ef226.jpeg) ![20210814_171446](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/2X/8/82ccafd7e304b27e1ed0ffb1c52d40594b2dc44a.jpeg) ---

Looks nice, but also looks quite expensive. Do you think that it’s worth the $? ---

We mostly had small plates and cocktails and dessert. Pricey but I thought it was worth it. Cheaper than having 2 homes… 😁 ---

We also went for dinner last night. It is pricey but worth it. We also ordered with price in mind. I’d recommend splurging on starters though. The hoppin John croquettes were amazing. ---
