Hollywood Distillery is a celebration of craft spirits, creativity, and local history, located in the heart of Hollywood on iconic Santa Monica Boulevard. As the first legal distillery in Hollywood since Prohibition, it brings small-batch production back to a neighborhood long defined by reinvention, storytelling, and cultural influence.
Housed in a thoughtfully reimagined historic building across from Hollywood Forever Cemetery, the distillery blends the character of old Hollywood with a modern, hands-on approach to craft. Founded by longtime local residents, Hollywood Distillery was created with a clear mission: to produce distinctive spirits using high-quality ingredients while offering an immersive experience that connects guests to the process behind what’s in the glass.


The distillery’s portfolio highlights innovation and California agriculture. Its flagship Oasis Vodka is the world’s first vodka distilled directly from dates, using organic Coachella Valley fruit to create a richer mouthfeel and subtle natural sweetness. The lineup also includes Zanja Madre Bourbon and Rye, made from California-grown grains and aged for balance and depth, as well as Nopalera Gin, inspired by native botanicals and the desert landscapes that surround Los Angeles.
Visitors to Hollywood Distillery can step inside a working production space and see every stage of distillation firsthand, from fermentation and copper stills to barreling and bottling. Guided tours and tastings invite guests to explore flavor, technique, and history, while cocktail experiences and special events add a social, celebratory layer to the visit. The distillery also serves as a gathering place for the local community, hosting private events, educational classes, and curated experiences that highlight both spirits and storytelling.


For guests of the Hollywood Hotel, Hollywood Distillery offers a uniquely local experience that captures the spirit of Hollywood in every sense of the word.
