Policies

The house rules. Most of them amount to: be 21, bring ID, and look after each other.

Age & identification

  • Jaywalker is a 21-and-over establishment. This website is intended for adults of legal drinking age.
  • Valid government-issued photo ID is required for entry and for the purchase of alcohol — no exceptions.

Responsible service

  • Please drink responsibly. Our staff are trained in responsible alcohol service and may decline service at their discretion, as New York law requires of us.
  • We will gladly call you a car. Never drive impaired.
  • Health notice: alcoholic beverages should not be consumed during pregnancy because of the risk of birth defects.

In the room

  • No smoking or vaping anywhere inside, per the NYC Smoke-Free Air Act.
  • We reserve the right to refuse entry or service and to remove anyone whose behavior puts staff or guests at risk. Harassment of any kind isn’t tolerated — toward anyone, by anyone.
  • Outside alcohol can’t come in; our bottles can’t leave open. Sealed retail bottle purchases are handled per New York State license rules.
  • Bags may be checked at the door at security’s discretion.
  • Events may be photographed or filmed for our channels; tell a member of staff if you’d rather not appear.

Reservations & private events

  • Events are first come, first served — no reservations, no cover. High-demand nights fill; arrive early.
  • Private events and buyouts: info@nydistilling.com. Distillery tours have their own booking details.

Questions about any of this — or about how we handle your information (privacy policy) — reach us at info@nydistilling.com. Jaywalker at The New York Distilling Company, 573 Johnson Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11237.
