Oak & Flame was a spectacular experience. I wish I would have gotten more information from the owner about the story behind this place. He was incredibly knowledgeable and made outstanding recommendations. I will definitely be going back.

Where to begin.
Oak and Flame is where it’s at for a great local bottle shop and tasting room. Jen and Scott know their beverages and love to share their wealth of knowledge with anyone who pops in! I am a huge supporter of shop local, especially with the corporate world and online/shipping. Jen and Scott never disappoint when I come for a bottle, or pour. Need a get away, have a seat in the tasting room and just chill in the ambiance with a list of great selections.
Want some epic picks, Oak will get them! I’ve got more empties of their Makers and still adding to my Elijah empty stash!
If you’re not local, make the trip. You will NOT regret it!

Excellent bottle shop and exceptional pour room with a selection you can typically only find in a major city. They curate a wide variety of unique and hard to find bourbons and ryes, with a number of other special bottles on hand. Their house-made old fashioned is a particularly tasty cocktail that has a great flavor unique to their establishment.
