What makes Tony Mazzarini with The Distillery Complex a good neighbor?

Tucked along Pittsburgh's riverside stands a brick and wood structure with a remarkable story spanning nearly two centuries. When real estate developer Tony Mazzarini acquired the vacant 25,000-square-foot building in 2018, he uncovered its hidden legacy as the Joseph Finch Whiskey Distillery—once among the world's largest rye whiskey producers. Rather than simply developing the property, Tony embraced its spirited past, partnering with chemist-turned-distiller Kevin Lloyd to create The Distillery Complex, a multifaceted destination reviving Pittsburgh's craft spirits heritage.
The Distillery Complex offers what Tony calls a "vertical experience" with something special on every level. Visitors start their journey in the lobby-level tasting room, where knowledgeable ambassadors introduce them to Big Spring Spirits' impressive lineup of 42 different alcohols. From whiskeys and bourbons to vodkas, gins, rums, and even authentic tequila, their products share a commitment to local sourcing and quality ingredients—especially their signature spring water that gives the spirits their distinctive character. Their popular Talleyrand Cream Bourbon represents the perfect introduction for those new to spirits appreciation.
Beyond spirits tasting, the building houses The Finch rooftop bar with unparalleled city views, an elegant Drawing Room cigar lounge, and a fifth-floor event space featuring a breathtaking 300-degree panorama of Pittsburgh's skyline. This thoughtful preservation of history combined with modern craft and hospitality creates a destination unlike any other in the city. Whether you're a spirits enthusiast curious about production methods or simply seeking a unique place to gather with friends, The Distillery Complex offers a multi-sensory journey through Pittsburgh's past and present.
