"Best known as the original maker and home of Jeppson’s Malört, the distillery once produced the famously bitter Chicago spirit on‑site before moving production to a larger Pilsen facility as demand grew. The location has become a pilgrimage spot for Malört aficionados and has surprised many visitors by offering high-end sushi and omakase. After pandemic pivots that introduced sushi under a different name, the owners reimagined the space following the founders’ departures, adding a kitchen for yakitori and donburi, expanding vegetable options, redecorating with a Tokyo‑inspired feel, and positioning the venue as more than just a bar." - Ashok Selvam
"You can get all sorts of wine, beer, and liquor delivered from CH. And if you spend over $100 you’ll get a six-pack of miniature Malort bottles. Do with that information what you will." - adrian kane
"You can get all sorts of cocktails delivered from CH - including things you haven’t ordered since you were on spring break (like a Sex On The Beach). Also interesting, they’re donating bottles of Malort hand sanitizer to local hospitals, which is definitely the best use of Malort." - adrian kane

"I toast at CH Distillery to try Jeppson’s Malört and other house spirits, which feels like a fitting send-off at the end of a downtown weekend." - Sam Nelson
