Expect The Unexpected
Whether you’re stopping in after a hike or planning a wedding rehearsal dinner, Modern Alchemist, in Old Fort, NC, is designed for connection, curiosity, and community. Not Just a Distillery. Not just a restaurant.
Nathan and Chris
Nathan Kelischek and Chris Zieber are the founders of Modern Alchemist, and the same people who brought you Appalachian Mountain Brewery and Mountain Hippie Soda. Their idea was to design a place where people can come to experience great drinks and good vibes, where creativity feels inspired. It all began with THC-infused mocktails, but quickly turned into a home for house-distilled spirits, non-alcoholic options, and bold flavors made for sharing.
A Modern Alchemist Meets History
This beautifully restored space in a historic Old Fort sock factory is home to delicious, local spirits and a Cali-Mex-inspired menu. The team is proud to provide a venue for your most special events, and they offer a variety of options and spaces in their 8,500 sq ft facility, perfect for any occasion. Get in touch with Nathan, Chris, or another member of staff to talk about your big day.
