A new distillery named Three Strong Spirits (website, facebook, instagram) is under construction in East Bayside in a 6,200 sq ft space at 35B Diamond Street.
Owners David McConnell and Sam Pierce hope to open the tasting room this June.
Three Strong Spirits is named after a colonial era punch recipe “one of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, four of weak”.
Shows conversion of 1006 congress st into residential plus a 1385 sq ft cafe and market. Any word on this?

I don’t believe there’s a specific business slated for this location yet.
