Upcoming EVENTS

Altered State Kitchen Launch

Thursday , Sept 12th 4-8

Well, it seems that running a production & distribution facility with a full-service bar, tasting room and live music venue wasn't enough for this mom & pop. Noooo. We thought, why not throw a fast-casual restaurant in the mix as well?
I don't know, you guys. We question each other's sanity almost daily.

Anyway, we built a kitchen, hired a chef, created a menu, bought more tables and chairs and now all we need is you!

The plan is this:
Start out with some amazing Spanish/American staples (authentic tacos, tortas etc) and build from there, possibly diversifying our menu into lunch/dinner as time goes on.

The good thing about being smol, is that we can do what we... I mean YOU want.

Fast/casual you say? Doesn't that mean cheap? Nope. We're not planning on cutting any corners. Just like the ingredients in most of our cocktails, our food will be made from scratch whenever possible. From our birria to our homemade salsa, if we have the means to make it in house, we will.

Starting out, our kitchen hours will be
Tue 4-8
Wed 4-8
Thu 4-8
Fri 4-10
Sat 12-10
Sun 12-4
This is just a warm-up with Saturday/Sunday (10a-4p) brunches to follow shortly.

We hope you’ll stop by and check-out what we’re cooking up next month!
