Opened in December, 2012, The Oak Barrel is an independent, locally owned property that is changing the way people eat out. Labeled by some as a "gastropub", the most accurate terms to describe The Oak Barrel are Brasserie and Tap house, which were chosen in our name...The Oak Barrel - Brasserie and Tap house. Known for an amazing selection of craft beers, bourbons and whiskies, The Oak Barrel is also dedicated to using local and organic products whenever possible. The menu offers a New American style of food with a French twist.
