Black Market Spirits
San Luis Obispo, CA
The Black Market Distillery offers a dynamic blend of craft distilling, hospitality, and retail in a series of uniquely designed spaces. At its heart is the central oval-shaped bar, surrounded by standing tables and exuding an Art Deco-inspired speakeasy vibe with moody tones and playful accents. The lounge, positioned at the entrance, serves as a versatile waiting or private space, enclosed by velvet curtains for an intimate atmosphere. The restaurant features cozy, private booths oriented toward the bar and kitchen viewing window, while the merch shop, hidden behind a bookcase door, extends the rustic aesthetic of the tasting lounge. Guests enjoy an immersive journey through six brand-inspired experience rooms, culminating in a Western tavern-style tasting lounge overlooking the industrial distillery, which doubles as overflow seating for large parties. Each space is thoughtfully designed to create a cohesive and memorable guest experience.
