Big Dog Distillery & Tiki Bar

Nestled in the heart of Bismarck’s downtown, Big Dog Distillery may be tucked away in a modest strip mall on South 3rd Street, but inside, it’s a whole different world. Dedicated to the art of craft spirits, Big Dog Distillery brings out the best in handcrafted rums and moonshine through its renowned Heart River Spirits line. With a commitment to quality, all Heart River Spirits rums and moonshines are made with natural flavors, no artificial colors, and are completely free of added sugars, offering a clean and authentic taste for spirit enthusiasts.

The newest addition to the Heart River Spirits lineup is Big Dog Water, a refreshing, ready-to-drink canned cocktail. This delightful blend features the distillery’s signature Blueberry Moonshine mixed with a crisp pink lemonade, offering a burst of flavor in every sip. As the distillery's first foray into canned cocktails, Big Dog Water captures the same dedication to craft and quality. Dog Water is made with only the best natural ingredients and has less sugar than that of a can of pop, making it a must-try for locals and visitors alike. What's more? Big Dog Water is proud partners of the NDSU Bison! So “Grab a can and let your puppies run!”

Big Dog Distillery’s tasting house, the Big Dog Tiki Bar, is open Thursday through Saturday and offers the perfect escape from North Dakota’s chilly winters. Whether you’re taking a picture with the iconic Tiki Ted or enjoying one of their island-inspired cocktails, Big Dog Tiki Bar provides a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that reflects the small-town charm of a passionate, locally-owned business. Stop by, warm up, and experience the best of North Dakota’s craft spirits scene
