Nine Years of Good Nights: The 117º West Anniversary Party

It’s hard to believe we’ve been distilling true California whiskey and shaking up craft cocktails right here in North County for almost a decade. On Saturday, December 5th, from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM, we’re officially throwing our 9th Anniversary Party. While this is a celebration of the independent spirits we make entirely in-house, it's also a massive thank you to the community that pulls up a stool to drink them.

We’re kicking things off with a little horsepower. From 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, grab a cocktail from the speakeasy and take a stroll through our anniversary car show. It’s the perfect excuse to sip something slow, talk shop, and admire some incredible local rides. Once the sun starts to dip, the night really settles in. We’re thrilled to have Benji Knight and the Pale Aliens taking the stage to provide the perfect speakeasy soundtrack, while the Big Cheese food truck parks outside to serve up melty, serious comfort food that pairs beautifully with a pour of our whiskey.

As it says in "The 117º West Speakeasy Rulebook", “Every familiar face started as a first pour”. Over the last nine years, we've watched those first pours turn into a genuine community, and that is exactly what we are celebrating today. Whether you’ve been drinking with us since day one or you’re bringing your crew in for the very first time, come down and let us hand you a glass. There are no velvet ropes or strict reservations here, just good spirits, great music, and a stool with your name on it. "Your seat is waiting".
