Manatawny Still Works, which describes itself as “a state-of-the-art distillery producing the highest quality, small-batch spirits,” has plans to open a bar, tasting room and bottle shop at 53 West Lancaster Avenue, where A la Maison Bistro was previously located.
Manatawny Still Works Pottstown location.
Manatawny Still Works is headquartered in Pottstown and manufactures about 25 different types of spirits there, including bottles of pre-mixed cocktails, seven types of whiskies, rum, gin and vodka.
The Ardmore location will be Manatawny’s third. They opened a site on Passyunk Avenue in 2017. The Inquirer’s Samantha Melamed described it as “Flair bartending meets craft cocktails.”
According to the Manatawny Still Works website, “Manatawny Creek, an 18.2-mile-long tributary of the mighty Schuylkill River, cuts through the Montgomery County countryside and has become home to a winery, a brewery and, now, our distillery. It was first named by the indigenous Lenape Man’en’tau’wata’wik, the place we meet to drink,” and it means the same to us today.”
