Distillery of Modern Art (DoMA) is set to open its doors this fall in Chamblee two-and-a-half years after plans for the distillery, gallery, event space, and cocktail lounge were first announced, according to a press release Wednesday.
DoMA, designed by What Now Atlanta Preferred Partner Vickers Design Group, announced in January it would open in May, but never did. A reason for the delay was not disclosed.
“Guest are invited to immerse themselves in this purpose-driven concept which showcases art in all its many forms and challenges them to leave their perceptions at the door,” according to the release. “Going beyond what’s in the bottle, the 15,000 square foot space is a modern art gallery whose walls feature local artists and installations- several of which are utilized for DoMA’s bottle art.”
Centralized by a bar, Distillery of Modern Art’s “master mixologists” will create signature cocktails using one of the house-created spirits, often pulling garnishes from the living wall garden adjacent to the lounge. There’s also a 2,800 square-foot private event space.
DoMA will distill and serve an Atlanta Vodka, Peach Flavored Vodka made with Georgia-grown peaches, Bourbon Whiskey, Corn Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, Nouveau Gin, and a Digestivo.
“I am an instigator. I live to inspire those around me,” Seth Watson, DoMA’s founder, said. “I want to facilitate creativity in all possible ways. I like to be a dreamer but what I like more is allowing dreamers to bring ideas to reality.”
DoMA will offer Tour & Tasting bookings that run daily from noon to 3 p.m. for $15 per guest. “The interactive, step-by-step walkthrough of the distillation process is a riveting activity-friendly for friends, family, and co-workers,” according to the release. For larger parties, guests can take advantage of either the 735-square foot Kandinsky Tasting Room, 861-square foot Watson Gallery, or 2,800-square foot Rothko Room.

Sounds so cool! Chamblee is moving along.
Yes Yes Yes! Go Chamblee
Chamblee is being overtaken by these artsy beer and alcohol places and little else. Still no real coffeehouse or any real cafe, no pizza by slice (non corporate) establishment, lack of family restaurants that are not near Buckhead prices). No real juice bar. No theater or any place for the Arts. More car dealers by square mile than anywhere in GA!
We love moonbirds for coffee! For beer, I feel like there is only one establishment over by Gus’s and Im not sure they are even open yet. What we need is to continue growing our nightlife. Totally wish there was more pizza options and a juice bar. Its our understanding that with the city’s new master plan, theater is something they have in the plans, as is a place for the arts. This new distillery is saying its all about the local community and the Arts. So hopefully they stick to that!
I believe hopstix has a brewery and the new brewery by Gus’s. Plus you can find a million micro brews served at any of the new expensive restaurants. There’s just so much still lacking in this area and the fast rate of growth with so many of the same kinda “yuppie” themed places is boring. Need more variety and less car lots would help. We have about 30 car lots and auto shops along peachtree blvd corridor.
Its a good thing, Jeff! Embrace the future. Acceptance prob doesn’t include calling neighbors who care for the community, Yuppies. Just sayin. As far as car places, the city of Chamblee has been doing fantastic work slowly moving the car dealers out closer to the highway.
