Overall, a great place with a couple of hiccups. Originally stopped by to check out their Full Proof wheat whiskey, which the bartender said they still had. Was with a group and we were not expecting the extensive drink menu, which was a pleasant surprise, and turned a quick visit, into a stay. The whiskey ended up being the 100 proof, which was not great and the pricing made it a firm no. The drinks however were fantastic, and our bartender was a rockstar. We were trying to close out when the place got absolutely packed.
Which leads me to a few criticisms: drinks are excellent and involved, which also translates to a significant slow down in service times and working the entire place which is quite large. Only 2 staff members were working, and only one was working the bar. The same bartender was running drinks upstairs and it sounds like the kitchen is upstairs. The staffing and setup are not conducive to effectively managing that entire space when full. That said, the ladies working did a great job and this is mostly an operational constraint. While sitting there, we discussed how cool it would be to add a dumb waiter to the end of the bar for sending drinks and food between floors. While closing out, I purchased some bottles and through some miscommunication I was charged for an additional bottle that wasn’t requested. Due to the lengthy wait, and the fact that I had already paid before being provided the bottles, I decided to not call their attention to it.
Overall, this was a cool space with lots of variety. Looking forward to trying the food next time. Hope to see the business continue to invest and improve the experience for guests. Will definitely be a revisit the next time we...

Read moreEnumclaw is a common road trip for me on the weekends. Many times have walked past Pursuit Distilling thinking we should check it out. Well, that was a mistake as Pursuit is a great place to have a cocktail. The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable as we just sit at the bar.
On our last visit we waited for opening at 2:00PM and then got there 7 minutes later and seems already 4-5 groups had come in ahead of us. That said, the single staff person was on top of the situation and we were served pretty quickly given it seems 20 people had arrived at the same time.
They have gin, vodka and bourbon where we've just had got bourbon old fashions. I highly recommend trying out Pursuit if you're in Enumclaw as this is a great find and I'm sad I didn't...
