If you're looking for a regular rum and coke or just an average night out we can recommend several great places. However, if you're looking for an extra special experience with an amazing selection of cocktails and stunning service, then the Oak Barrel is the place for you.

What is alcohol? At its simplest definition it is a form of sugar as a disaccharide molecule deriving from either starchy polysaccharides or a sweet monosaccharides that has gone through whatever form of fermentation creating a more long lasting product; SCIENCE! It is much more than just a tool to fuel a party on a Friday night, a reason to let loose at a fancy dinner, or to see which of your friends can consume as many shots prior to blacking out- let’s avoid that! For thousands of years humans have had some form of fermented sugars in the palms of their hands in one form or another. In the earliest forms we looked at it as a source of nourishment; fermentation was one of our first ways of preservatives for foods like grains and fruit that allowed the vikings to sail the seas and survive while drinking Mead or consuming that batch of apples that have gone, well bad. Alcohol evolved into something much more as it creates a sense of community, comradery, and even becomes the topic after a long day's work. We can see how history has changed from it as well; How rum was one of the largest sources of economic revenue in the early days of the United States of America but suddenly changed due to the revolution from Britain's control.
At The Oak Barrel, our goal is to highlight the world of alcohol in the forms of beer and wine, but more specifically in the form of spirits and liquor; either straight or in the form of a cocktail. We all love properly made and well balanced cocktails but in the world of whiskies, rums, brandies, and all the various forms of distillates there is an art to what the Master Distiller has decided to bring to our tables. We plan to showcase a wide variety of flavors that maybe haven’t been experienced before and help guide and educate those who choose to experience us at, The Oak Barrel.
