The first distillery to open in the city since Prohibition is generating plenty of buzz in spite of not opening its doors to patrons for most of the winter due to pandemic restrictions.
Midtown Spirits, which launched in November, is owned by Jason Poole and Dave Abrahamsen, the folks behind the popular cocktail-mix maker Preservation & co. The small-batch distillery is part of a full-fledged bar and restaurant operation on 19th Street in midtown where Preservation’s retail site was formerly located.
“Thanks to Preservation, we were known for our cocktail mixes, so it made sense to move into making the spirits that go along with those,” says Poole.
