Hooting Owl Distillery York

You'll find Hooting Owl tucked away on Rougier Street, in that stretch where York's industrial heritage meets its modern food and drink scene. This isn't some twee tourist trap—it's a proper working distillery where they're actually making gin, vodka, and other spirits with the kind of attention to detail that makes locals genuinely excited about what's happening in their backyard. The space feels authentic because it is: you're stepping into an actual production facility, not a theme park version of one. Whether you're after a tasting, a bottle to take home, or just want to see what craft spirits from Yorkshire actually taste like, there's real craft happening here.
