About us
EMBRACING THE STRENGTH OF OUR COMMUNITY.
At J. Riley Distillery & Restaurant in Redlands, we’re proud to create exceptional craft spirits and cocktails using a blend of time-honored techniques and modern innovation. Every batch of our house-made whiskey, bourbon, vodka, and gin is distilled onsite for bold, complex flavors you won’t find anywhere else.
But we’re more than just spirits — we’re a full dining experience. Our scratch kitchen serves up juicy, handcrafted burgers, crispy fries, fresh salads, and elevated comfort food made with quality ingredients and big flavor. Whether you’re here for a relaxed lunch, a dinner date, or late-night bites with friends, there’s something for every craving.
Inspired by the charm of historic Redlands, J. Riley offers a warm, inviting space that celebrates local character and community spirit. We host live music every Saturday, dueling pianos, and other high-energy events that make us a favorite hangout in the Inland Empire.
Come for the food. Stay for the whiskey. Feel right at home.

Excellent distillery with absolutely great tasting craft drinks. Hopefully, you get the chance to meet the owner, as he tells you about his vision, walks you through his process, and talks a great story about this wonderful distillery...

First time here, and we loved it. The food was great and there is an interesting and large menu. Our server was very attentive. They distill on site, so the drink selection is outstanding. We'll be back.
