Just in Casper for the weekend and was recommended to try Backwards Distilling and definitely have no regrets! Matt was fantastic and really helpful with drink recommendations to try. The atmosphere was unique and something I didnt expect to find in Casper. Will for sure be back again on the next trip!
Came in expecting a simple bar or brewery, but instead walked into a refined and impressive spirits establishment. At first I thought I was out of my element, being a simple tradie that just drinks beer and neat whiskey/bourbon, but I was put at ease by the staff and was explained to about their service. I ended up getting an old fashioned to get things going, which was quite good, and then I ended up expanding my horizons and getting a sour mixed with various fruits and an egg white. No Im not joking, yes Im serious, no I wasnt hammered. It was surprisingly great. Matt was my bartender, and was a great person to be served from. Overall it was a great establishment, good atmosphere and a nice way to try new things.
The best cocktails in the city, county, and quite possibly the entire state. These folks know what they’re doing and are very dedicated to their craft. AND, they are dedicated to your health and safety, and that of their staff.In a normal world they have normal business hours. During a health crisis, they compromise their hours for everyone’s safety. They are thoughtful in their decision to do so and offer a clear and easy reservation system. This allows them to remain open for patrons to enjoy a wide array of cocktails while controlling crowds, since they are wildly popular. It ensures that you as a customer get the best service and go home safe and healthy. AND, they make it fun with a speakeasy environment with a constantly rotating menu of creative and fun cocktails.A perfect way to start or end your evening on Fridays and Saturdays! I very much appreciate a little taste of normalcy and playfulness in an otherwise stressful year. Thank you to everyone at Backwards for everything you do to brighten and enliven the downtown Casper scene!
The Pollock family and their employees are so magnanimous in the way they care for their clientele and the statewide community. They went above the call of duty in their pragmatic approach to combating the pandemic health crisis by getting fda approved to manufacture hand sanitizer and distribution at no cost to those who needed it most.The quirky atmosphere and unique drink menu in their tasting room is so intriguing youll be sure to want to visit again and again. I would give them a 10⭐ review if it was possible.
Excellent drinks, good service, and great ambiance.
First time going and the customers service was so rude. Put my wife and I at a small tiny table that really we could do nothing at. Asked to be seated some were else and was treated rudely. Was told the other tables were reserved when I made reservation also. First time and only time. The worst. Plus nothing special inside. For a speak easy there can be so much more to it. Thanks for destroying my date night.
This place is a must go everytime Im in Casper. Hands down the best mixed drinks Ive ever had. The bartenders here are passionate about their craft and can answer any questions you have. Not sure how I feel about the new location. The previous location felt more cozy like a low-key speakeasy. Regardless, its great to see them with this much business!
Excellent excellent selection of rum and whiskeys. Make sure you ask for the Wild William.
This circus-themed lounge offers refreshingly unique cocktails in a classy yet quirky atmosphere. The drink menu offers everything from classic & sophisticated to surprising & delightful. Locally distilled from ingredients sourced from Casper farmers, the owners are dedicated to sustaining community and encouraging drinking outside the box. I plan to come back the next time in town!
Great atmosphere! Music is low enough for normal conversations.
Hands down, my favorite tasting room. Also my favorite mixed drinks. Great atmosphere, wonderful family running the business, and the best whiskey and rum that we have tasted. I would do 6 stars if I could.
Beautiful atmosphere and enticing cocktails definitely worth every penny.
The best small-batch distillery in the USA. They are mindful of their sourcing, study their craft constantly, are community-minded and involved. A family-owned and managed business and they are some of the NICEST people you will ever meet. They have a tasting room in the heart of downtown Casper, Wyoming, and the environment is always warm and welcoming. They teach great classes too! If you ever get a chance to be in Casper and can only stop one place--if you are a cocktail afficianado--MAKE IT BACKWARDS!!
Fabulous company that really promotes Casper and Wyoming. Very tasty spirits. We got gin and moonshine. Highly recommended!
Excellent personal. Fantastic drinks. Great atmosphere. The specials are worth waiting for.
Great place for truly unique and very tasty cocktails. Friendly mixologists and a nice vibe. And you can walk out with one of their great distilled spirits, we got a cinnamon moonshine! A Casper must-visit.
I am a writer and lost for words. One of the nicest places I have ever been in Casper Wyoming.The owners are extremely friendly and I had the best gin I have ever had. Friendly people great servers and a place to meet beautiful souls.It is an absolute go to, top shelf in every way!I will be back tomorrow!
Had the Greatest Showman and hubby had a straight up old fashioned! Loved the atmosphere and the beautiful building! Staff was great as well. Definitely recommend this place!
Amazing Spirits. Amazing People. Backwards was voted to be one of the best interstate destinations too. A must stop! I-25 @ Exit 188A.
We took the tour and it was excellent! We enjoyed hearing about their start and the process of creating these wonderful spirits. After the tour we tried some of their signature drinks in the lounge area. We purchased nine bottles of rum, vodka, and gin and have really enjoyed them. This is a must see stop when you visit Casper.
An incredible menu, knowledgeable (and friendly) staff, and unique decor, this place has it all. Allow plenty of time to work your way through the menu and enjoy each drink. Dont rush. They also win bonus points for having one of the best business cards Ive seen. Backwards has been permanently added to my short list of the best places off the beaten path. Dont pass through Casper without stopping by.
ABSOLUTLEY LOVE THIS PLACE AND EVERYONE THAT WORKS THERE! NICEST FAMILY EVER AND THE DRINKS ARE ALWAYS AN AMAZING JOURNEY!🥰
Stumbled on this cozy bar hidden in the heart of Casper like an old speak easy. Excellent hand crafted drinks and inviting staff with a cozy atmosphere. This is a must try!
This is one of Caspers hidden gems. Its tucked away a little outside of town but well worth the trip! Great atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and has amazing drinks! Its a great place to bring visiting friends and family from out of town and show them what Casper has to offer.
Amazing as always! 🤗
The playful circus 🎪 theme ambiance allows for adults to truly unwind. Their staff utterly goes above and beyond with their knowledge about their products and masterful mixology. The attention to detail and their crafting of delicious cocktails demonstrates the positive contribution to the town of Casper.The seasonal drinks are meant for those who want to enjoy a craft cocktail that compliment the weather outside. I appreciate the level of sophistication Backwards has brought to this town.
I travel all over the US and outside. Backwards is one of the gems of Casper wyoming. The spirits are of a super high quality and taste. The big manufacturers could learn something here. The actual tasting room is fun playful and staffed by excellent people who know their stuff. To top it all off Amber and Mallory make every guest feel at home. The menu is better than cocktail bars in major cities. Amber is an artisan. Must for all....
The best. Super friendly, helpful, knowledgable, and fast service. Awesome drinks, ton of variety. 10/10 would recommend!!
Went to the distillery tour today followed by a tasting. It was fun, educational and tasty! Definitely recommended!
Drinks are always delicious. A bit on the spendy side but the taste is always top tier!
This distillery has won awards for their locally made rum, vodka, moonshine, and gin. They serve incredible cocktails. The atmosphere is very original for an establishment in WY! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about their drinks.
This is far and away the best place in town to buy a craft drink. Wyoming is so fortunate to have the gift of their sensational spirits and masterful menu. Thanks Backwards!
Took the tour and met the owners! Very friendly and hard working. Knowledgeable staff who can recommend drinks for you and walk you through a tasting.
Excellent atmosphere, spirits and drinks. Sitting at the bar is the best if you want to watch the unique drinks being made
Best drinks in Casper, every time!
Our favorite place to go and relax in Casper
The staff are extremely knowledgeable and one of the best cocktails I have ever had
