Eight Settlers Distillery Opens
After many years spent operating a sports bar in California, Utah locals Katia and Radu Dugala recently opened Eight Settlers Distillery (7321 South Canyon Centre Parkway, Cottonwood Heights, 385-900-4315, eightsettlersdistillery.com). According to the new distillery s website, Radu grew up distilling spirits with his grandfather in Romania, where his family hails from. The Dugalas have cultivated a dream of opening their own distillery, and after doing a bit of research on the founding of Cottonwood Heights, they decided it would be the ideal place to do so. Eight Settlers Distillery also has a restaurant that features a tantalizing array of proteins from duck breast to grouper and it also has a fully stocked wine and spirits menu. The beautiful space includes indoor and outdoor seating; here s looking forward to a patio happy hour or two once the weather warms up.
