See Gone, but not forgotten

Black Button Distilling was Rochester's first legal craft distillery since Prohibition. They had a tasting bar open to the public serving cocktails and offering the opportunity to shop for bottles, apparel and merchandise. The distillery was available for private parties and group visits which made for a unique setting to entertain friends, family and coworkers.

Previously located in the Market District, then moved to Culver University East section of the city in 2023. Black Button produced various vodkas, gins, whiskeys and moonshines from New York grains.

Black Button drinks were also be found at various bars, restaurants, and liquor stores in the City of Rochester and the surrounding area. They also had a contract with JetBlue Airlines.

Black Button opened December 21, 2013.
