The Destination · Stalybridge
Moon Lounge.
Where the bottle becomes a night.
Opening planned · March 2027
AK Distillery's cocktail bar and tasting lounge — built around the moonshine, the music and the people who taught us how to pour. Moon Lounge is fully licensed, but significant drainage issues need time to resolve, so we're postponing the opening until March 2027. We will open — and we're planning a huge opening-day celebration. The exact date and celebration details will be announced once confirmed.

A room built for the long pour.
Low light, soft brass, a back bar that reads like the AK range itself. Designed to feel like the room you'd want a flight of moonshine served in — not a launch event you sit through.
What's poured
The full AK range — Traditional 60%, Premium 45%, the flavoured line, current limited editions and a rotating cocktail menu built around them.
Cocktail nights
Guided menus, signature builds, and the stories behind each bottle. Hosted by the distillery team.
Tasting evenings
Sit-down flights with food pairings. Small groups, full attention from the maker.
