Founded by Irish native, Oliver “Ollie” Mulligan, Great Wagon Road Distilling Co is the oldest distillery in Charlotte, North Carolina and the first one to have it’s own speakeasy attached. Although Ollie is the first in his family to make legal spirits, three generations ago in the midlands of Ireland, Ollie’s grandfather Patrick Quinn began the family tradition of whiskey making, and in 2013, after a handshake and a few pints with a mate, Ollie Mulligan established Great Wagon Road Distilling Co. to carry on his family tradition of whiskey craftsmanship.

We hosted our wedding in their private barrel room on 11/01/2025 and it was perfect! We wouldn’t have changed a thing. Thank you, for the outstanding customer service throughout the booking experience and the actual event. Everyone was fantastic and ready to help. The event space was beautiful and just perfect for what we wanted. We were so pleased and we highly recommend GWR for your next event.
We chose the private event space for our wedding because we love coming here on Sundays. The pizza is delicious, we love the relaxing environment and great beverages. Plus it’s always clean!

Wonderful inventive cocktails, outdoor patio, live music occasionally, dog friendly, bar gal is amazing, fairly good parking but I would ride share here so you can have fun and be safe. Oh, one of the best things is they can sell bottles of their spirits on Sunday in case you missed a trip to the liquor store during the week. They
have food available also. We love supporting local. The pizzas are yummy. We were here on open mic night and Bobby was the best!

This place is fantastic! I missed the chance of going when it was located down near Sugar Creek Brewing and Queen City Social so I am so glad I found this location while searching for good drinks!
My friend and I went on a Tuesday night and I believe our bartenders name was Emily, who was also wonderful and patient with us as we stared at their impressive drink selection for probably too long. She even offered to whip up a mocktail for my friend! We ended up choosing the lavender lemonade, a peach whiskey sour, and the key lime mule. The mule was probably one of the best drinks I’ve ever had! Will be back for that drink alone and the friendly staff.
They had music trivia that night and the host was fun and kept the crowd laughing! The outdoor patio is gorgeous, plenty of parking was available and the food was delicious! While the pickle pizza wouldn’t hold up to Rhino’s in New York – it came in at a close second! The pretzels and beer cheese were next level!!
TLDR; fun drinks, friendly staff, phenomenal food – go try them out yourself!

Great spirits, cocktails, beer and pizza. We like going on Wednesdays for open mic night. Our bartender Bobby does excellent Guinness pours. Was busy tonight and we did not wait long for our drinks. Plenty of parking.

Went on a Sunday afternoon. Not too crowded. Sat outside where they had music playing and sports events on the TV’s. Nice relaxed atmosphere with many people bringing their dogs for afternoon cocktails.
We didn’t do a tour or a tasting . Tried their Quinn’s Old Fashion which was delicious but a little pricey for a local distillery in my opinion.
My wife had their Manhatten which she absolutely loved.
They have a good menu of apps,salads and pizza. Nice cocktail list along with flights. Bottles are available for purchases.
Would love to do a tour and a tasting next time in the area.

Great Wagon is a NODA (North Davidson neighborhood of Charlotte, NC) distillery, which sits among great eateries and funky shops. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and very relaxed. Try their flagship American Single Malt whiskey – Rua – you will not be disappointed with this new and tasty pour. They have other products including whiskey, vodka and gin. Lots of care and craft are evident in the product, and Great Wagon has reason to be proud.

Less talked about (at least seems to be) but has some of the best cocktails in Charlotte. Pizza is solid too. The staff is always nice, welcoming and atmosphere makes you feel at home.

I can’t say enough fantastic things about Great Wagon Road Distilling. I was initially looking at the venue to rent out the back-barrel room for a company cocktail meet-up. Ashely was so quick to respond, friendly, and accommodating.
Our team wanted to expand the idea into a cocktail-making class, and the Great Wagon team made it incredible! They set up the barrel room to be cozy and comfortable.
They took our group and created small groups for tasting, educating, and drink-making. The food was delicious and so accommodating to dietary restrictions. Thank you guys so much!!
