Hidden Ships Distillery

Hidden Ships Distillery is a unique and captivating destination in Surf City, NC, known as Topsail Island's first and only distillery and craft cocktail bar. The establishment is inspired by the speakeasies of the pre-Prohibition era, featuring a stylish, intimate lounge area and a stunning curved bar where patrons can enjoy a variety of handcrafted cocktails made with their in-house spirits. Hidden Ships distills a range of spirits, including Vodka, Gin, Rum, and Bourbon, and is committed to mixology classics like the Smoked Old Fashioned and Espresso Martini. They offer distillery tours and full tastings of their products, host events, and sell bottles from their gift shop. With its focus on quality spirits and a sophisticated atmosphere, it provides a distinctive, adult-oriented experience on the island. The name itself pays homage to the local pirate lore of ships "hiding" behind the island.
