First I would like to state that I love the product. Im a true believer in supporting small businesses. With that being said, I will never buy or drink their product again. The owners wife Alana is a horrible human being. She is rude, demanding, and tasteless. She thinks that she is better than everyone and treats people like servants. I cannot and will not support the product at all because of her disgusting behavior. Alana- theres some things money cannot buy and thats class, you dont have any. Try giving everyone the same respect you would a CEO, including your garbage man. For someone who is in the service industry you sure know how to clear a room and have every one hate you. Please change your disgusting behavior. Youre an embarrassment to your husband and your brand.

Very fun bar to go to and try some spirits made in greater Detroit! I had flights of all the spirits offered and found the vodka to be excellent. The white blossom vodka had a great flavor that would be excellent with tonic. The gin was unique in that it was not overpowering with the juniper berries and had a sweet finish. This was somewhat of a cross between Tanqueray & Henderick’s, both of which I enjoy, so this was an interesting cross between the two. The barrel-aged gin had a taste between gin and whiskey, which did not work for me. The whiskey was very tasty as well. I would definitely go back for another drink and will be purchasing the vodka on a more regular basis.

Wow, their $8 Bloody Mary is unbelievably tasty and served in a beaker! Weve come in weeknights only and its usually chill. The only downside is the lighting, its super dark, and it can be hard to hear each other even without large crowds. They were out of the special mixes when I was there and the server had no idea until after I had ordered. When my friend tried to order the same Bloody Mary with the habanero infused vodka I had, they were also out. I hope the servers and bartender will be more on the same page next time to prevent disappointment. Otherwise, its a great place to enjoy spirits.

I had heard great things about this place. Unfortunately, none of my friends and I found them to be true. I went on a Saturday night and it was pretty busy, but a nice bartender pointed to a table where we could be seated. The server was extremely rude, and even made horrifying racially-targeted comments towards my friend. As expensive as the drinks are here, theyre not great. Waste of money and time - better look elsewhere, as Ferndale has many other locations that are actually welcoming and have great cocktails are reasonable prices.

A great spot for specialty cocktails - Ive never had a drink at Valentines that wasnt delicious. Prices are a little steep, but the strength of the drinks makes up for it. Definitely a place to start your evening on the town - youll be loosened up after your first concoction.

Wonderful place. Wonderful people. All their spirits are their own and theyve all won many awards. Heather the mixologist is an artist and comes up with the best drinks I have ever tasted. Bit pricey for some, but this is not the cheap stuff, everything is top shelf.

With a small, dark, plush tasting room, Valentine is certainly bringing good spirits to Ferndale. Along with their main line of vodkas, gin, and whiskey, They have a number of infusions working at any given time. Check it out. Bring a date!

Great Prohibition ambiance. The drinks were innovative crafted very well and served fairly quickly. If you are a fan of gin, they have a great barrel aged gin that is floral and complex. A good place to sit, sip and hang out.

My second time here, and I had a great experience, and better drink. They made me a basil whiskey smash. This place actually rates higher on my drink card than the Oakland.

Didnt have any food but the drinks were absolutely delicious (had a fig and orange old fashioned). Really great atmosphere and friendly staff. Ill definitely be back here.

Excellent mixed drinks, great infusions. Something for everyone, both the hard drinks for purists and sugary sweet mixes for those who dont want to taste alcohol.

Carlo Adinata

Awesome craft cocktails, friendly staff and if you can snag one of the spots in their patio when its a nice day (or night)...all is well in Ferndale :)

Drinks were pretty good. Cucumber chill was much sweeter than expected. A few of the martinis were underfilled. Chill atmosphere
