Thursday Night Drag Queen Bingo

The heels are high, the numbers are hot, and the shade is absolute perfection. Drag Queen Bingo is taking over the distillery this Thursday, and the energy is going to be completely unmatched.

Doors open at 4:00 PM, and the show officially kicks off at 6:30 PM.

El Barbas is also in the house serving up killer eats to keep everyone fueled for the madness. Secure your tickets online right now because if you show up at the door without one, the queens won't hesitate to give you the boot.

Grab your crew, grab a cocktail, and get ready to yell BINGO.

Tickets available on our website and the 117 App.

San Diego is turning up the heat this weekend, but we’re turning on the blenders. ☀️🍹

Come avoid the sun and cool off with our blended margaritas, made with our very own in-house 117º West Spirits Agave. It’s a true Vista take on a traditional tequila classic that will have you singing en español.

As Rule #4 says, "Order something you didn’t plan to." You might have come in thinking whiskey, but these frosty agave cocktails are exactly what this weather calls for. "Trust the moment." Come find your stool. The blender is running, the AC is on, and the drinks are pouring.

The queens are back in North County, and they’re ready to dangle your fancy! 🪩Drag Queen Bingo returns to the speakeasy, bringing the glitter, the laughs, and the glorious chaos we all love.

If you haven't been to one of these nights yet, Rule #1 is in full effect: "Talk to a stranger."

You never know who you’ll be cheering (or groaning) with by the final round. And don't forget Rule #10: "The speakeasy only works when everyone adds to it—even just a little."

So bring your energy, grab a craft cocktail, and let's make it a night. 🎟️ Tickets are live at the link on our website. Grab yours before they vanish!

This Saturday, August 22nd, our Vista speakeasy will be closed to the public for a private event.

We love our North County community endlessly, but sometimes we need to host a quiet moment with a select few.

Don't let that throw off your weekend rhythm, though. We are pouring normal hours this Thursday and Friday. As our rulebook says, your seat is waiting. Maybe you’ve been here a hundred times. Maybe tonight’s your first. Either way, there’s always an open stool that feels like it was saved just for you.

Come in, pull up that stool, order a cocktail, and make sure you stock up on your favorite California craft spirits to carry you through Saturday night. See you Thursday. 🥃

Rule #8: Stay curious. Ask about the whiskey, ask about the rum, or ask what’s aging in the back.

Curiosity is how you unlock the stories and the stories are half the flavor. If you've been asking the right questions lately, you might have heard the whisper:

Moonlight Rye is coming.

We aren't sharing all the details just yet. Good things take time in the barrel, after all. But we can tell you that our mastermind Justin McCabe has been quietly working on a profoundly unique Rye Whiskey, and it is going to be something incredibly special.

Keep your eyes open for more details here, in our newsletter, on Google, on our website, and on the 117 app. When the word gets out, you'll want to be ready.

Aged Gin Limited Release

We’ve been keeping a quiet secret in the barrels, and it’s finally ready. We just bottled our aged gin, but consider this a friendly heads-up: it is a very limited release.

You won't find this one online, and we aren't shipping it out. The only way to taste this incredible craft spirit (made entirely in-house right here in Vista, CA) is to walk through our doors during normal hours and claim a bottle yourself.

Rule #2 reminds us that “Your seat is waiting”. But these bottles? They won't wait long.

Come see what's been aging in the back.

The Army & Navy Cocktail

Thinking about your usual order? It might be time to invoke Rule #4: “Order something you didn’t plan to”.

This weekend at the speakeasy, we’re serving up a 117º West twist on a classic...the Army & Navy cocktail. Built on a heavy pour of our own craft gin, we swapped the traditional simple syrup for a rich, macadamia nut orgeat.

The result? A delightfully sour drink with plenty of attitude, guaranteed to put a smile (or a serious pucker) on your face.

The best drinks here are often the ones you didn’t know you wanted. Come pull up a stool and let us shake one up for you.

Beat the Heat / Frozen Margaritas

It’s going to be a blazer in Vista this weekend, but we have the perfect solution: our AC is cranking, and the blenders are working overtime. ☀️🍹

When the California sun decides to show off, we counter with our crowd-favorite frozen margaritas. Crafted with our house-distilled, tequila-inspired Agave spirit, it’s exactly what you need to cool off and set your weekend right.

Escape the heat and pull up a stool. As always, "Your seat is waiting." Let us pour you a little frost in a glass. 🧊

Doors open:
- Thursday: 4pm
- Friday: 3pm
- Saturday: 3pm
