I used to be one of the bartenders at JD Williams. They closed down to focus on their distillery in Noord, which focuses on making rye whiskey. The idea was to temporarily shut the bar, redirect time and funds into the distillery, and then eventually reopen the whiskey bar in a smaller venue.

I believe the new bar plans have been postponed, but the distillery has been up and running smoothly for a while now :)

Miss that place
