Professional Craft Spirits for Beach Haven Residents

LBI's Cultural Hub Deserves Craft That Matches Its Character

Beach Haven residents know better than most that Long Beach Island offers more than just sunsets and salt air. Known as the "Queen City" of the Jersey Shore, Beach Haven is LBI's arts and entertainment heart - home to the Surflight Theatre, the LBI Historical Museum, the New Jersey Maritime Museum, and the preserved Victorian architecture of its historic district. When a community celebrates its heritage and cultural depth this deliberately, the spirits it chooses to pour should measure up. That's exactly what a family-owned craft distillery on the island provides.

LBI Distilling Company is a natural complement to everything Beach Haven values. The same pride in craftsmanship that preserves the borough's Victorian homes and supports its performing arts scene goes into every bottle we distill. Our spirits - Cool Vibes Vodka, Shark Fin Gin, Rudderless Rum, and Aurora Borealis Bourbon - are made right here on the island with care, and served in a setting that honors the community's love of a well-spent evening.

An Evening as Thoughtful as the Town Itself

We designed our space with Beach Haven's layered sensibility in mind. For those who prefer a quieter, more intimate experience, our downstairs lounge provides the kind of calm, unhurried atmosphere that encourages real conversation and slow sipping. For those who want to raise the energy, our upstairs tasting room delivers weekend live music, dancing, and the kind of high-spirited celebration that fits naturally into a community that hosts heritage house tours and waterfront cultural events.

Our cocktail menu leans into the same creativity that defines Beach Haven's culinary and cultural scene. The Salt Water Siren features our Cool Vibes Vodka with fresh cranberry juice, while the Seaside Spritz pairs our Shark Fin Gin with lime for a refreshing, layered drink. We also distill a two-and-a-half-year aged bourbon - Aurora Borealis - that brings depth and complexity worthy of serious consideration.

If the arts, history, and shore culture of Beach Haven speak to your sense of quality, a visit to the craft distillery on LBI will feel like a natural extension of your evening.
