45th Parallel Distillery

This place is amazing! The event coordinator Lindsay and the bartenders Emily and Tucker made sure the concert was a great success and everyone was having a great time!

45th Parallel is great! Walked in on a Saturday evening with a group of four and were seated on the second level. Only downside was that service was a bit slow, but everything else was fantastic!

The facility is beautiful, well-thought out, and accommodating. The bonded old fashioned was delicious! We also ordered the soft pretzel which came with a super tasty spicy mustard. Some tables around us got pizzas and it made me jealous, I'll definitely be back to try some!

Great place to have brunch or dinner. I had the Kale salad. Dinner favorite is the oven roasted asparagus with the smoked steelhead trout. Great drinks and beer selection as well. Enjoyable atmosphere with occasional live music and outside seating. I can only recommend that place.

Very scenic taproom and kitchen serving up excellent whiskey, gin, aquavit, and vodka. They do a lot of experimental infusions so be sure to check back regularly. We were the first ones there and sat on the patio under the enormous garage door with our dog. No dogs inside, tough. There isn't a ton of seating so I imagine they get pretty busy on nicer days. Their event space is huge so seems like that might be nice. The service was great and they answered all my questions about the various seasonal spirits.

The food was all "ok". I was very excited to try the spent grain pretzel but I don't think they use a very high % because it tasted like undersalted, slightly underbaked white bread. It didn't have the browning or crust you expect from a good pub or Bavarian pretzel. Probably wouldn't get it again.

The bread and butter was equally disappointing. Almost no flavor but the texture was good. Just grocer store butter and honey. You'd be better off buying a baguette and butter from a local bakery or creamery. I mean, you're in WI so there's probably a great one nearby.

The "meat surprise" was also bland and a touch dry. The potatoes were probably the best food we got. Lots of garlic and butter.

It was nice but probably not worth a road trip. You can get their spirits at most liquor stores.

Brick oven pizzas
Service is quick and convenient
Ambiance is a modern industrial look perfect volume of music to have a conversation and a great time.

Big fan. I wish there was more seating as we've been turned away because they're so busy before and seen it happen to others quite frequently. I love the patio in the summer, but the chairs are not super comfy. Ok to the drinks. Unreal, we've only ever had one drink we didn't like and it was a pumpkin spice cocktail that my husband went out on a limb to try when he normally doesn't like pumpkin spice, don't ask why he ordered it.. The mocktail menu is amazing, the most extensive and crafty mocktail menu I've ever seen. The food and drink menus rotate frequently which I love, but if a drink isn't on the menu, they can likely still make it if you request it. The food is also delicious and they have a Thursday dinner special that is always tasty. I wish there was a nightly dinner special every night. There is a little inconsistency on the food so sometimes things will be very different from visit to visit. I might go out on a limb and say this is my favorite spot in New Richmond..

We stopped in yesterday to check out 45th Parallel's outdoor farmer's market, which was so much fun on its own.

After shopping, we went inside for brunch. Between the four of us, we had the House Pretzel, Farmers Market Board, Breakfast Beef Hash Scramble and Breakfast Pizza. Everything came out looking appealing to the eye, and tasted fantastic.

Of course being a distillery, they also have an amazing specialty drink menu and their staff is very knowledgeable about all the offerings on it. Our server made sure we didn't want for anything throughout our visit.

4.5 stars!! A beautiful Fall day, and we had this destination in mind! It did not disappoint!

1. Gorgeous patio with doors that open to create an awning.

2. Full amazing bar and delicious beer! It's a distillery... so... duh!
3. Many patios to support everybody and their dogs!
4. Trivia in the adjacent room
5. Menu changing next week! Going with some fall seasonal veggies and warmer mixed drinks!!

Worth the drive! You won't be disappointed!! We will be back!

We stopped on a Sunday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised by the farmers market! After swinging through that, we grabbed a seat at the bar. It's a cool set-up because even sitting indoors it's open to the outside patio. Our bartender was attentive and I could tell he's passionate about the product they make. He talked me into trying a gin drink (with sparkling apple cider)--it was flavorful and enjoyable for a fall day! I don't normally drink gin but like he said, their gin is what turns people who "don't like gin" into gin drinkers. We split the breakfast pizza which was just okay. Overall, great experience!
