THE STORY Perhaps you want to hear a romantic tale about a long family lineage of distillers. Maybe you’re interested in a story involving catalogs of top-secret recipes. That is not our story. Our story began with a conversation that consisted of eight words: “Do you want to start making vodka?” “Yes.” Across the highly competitive landscape of super premium vodka, how do you make a difference? Practice. And practice often. URBANCRAFT VODKA A custom-designed vodka production facility in a once forgotten pocket of Philadelphia? Yes. A product that screams, “We made this with our own hands?” Absolutely. Philadelphia is a town with a rich and rambunctious past. It is a city that created it’s own destiny. Stateside Urbancraft Vodka is an ode to our proud and colorful history. It is a tribute to those who have made this city great for generations. It is a promise to our customers that we will never forget what being from the neighborhood means. Finally, it is a declaration of our passion as distillers- Never stop inventing. Never stop improving. FEDERAL DISTILLING ROOM FDR is a full service cocktail lounge. It also happens to be conveniently attached to our distillery. We offer a host of custom cocktails made with Stateside Urbancraft Vodka as well as featuring some of our favorite spirits from around the world. Guests can enjoy panoramic views of the distillery floor while sampling some of our homemade recipes. FDR also has a carefully selected beer and wine menu that is always available.
