What a great craft cocktail bar. Amazing drinks made by true bartenders. Atmosphere is great. There is no food, but you can go to Bad Ass Tacos next door and bring it over. Small place so plan your arrival time accordingly if you want a table.

Phenomenal atmosphere, service, and drinks! The diversity of drink options is amazing as well as all of the different food vendors they have. There is an upstairs area as well as a downstairs speakeasy that can also be rented out for private parties. One time I even grabbed tacos from BadAss tacos next door and brought them over to enjoy with a drink. The options here are plentiful and you truly can't go wrong. Last time I was here (yesterday), I ordered the "three to get ready" and it was great. It was refreshing and balanced. I highly recommend this spot.

This place is awesome. I didn't eat food this time around but I will next time I go, and I definitely will go again. The drinks are awesome and the bartenders downstairs were so informative and provided excellent service.

Been wanting to come here ever since it came up as a Speakeasy during my search. Finally made my way here last night around 9pm on a Saturday. I was able to find parking right out front, but there's a parking lot in the back. Walked up to the front door and asked what the wait time was for 2. 3-5 minutes later, we were told there were seats at the bar downstairs. Didn't realize there was a downstairs and later found out that this was the Speakeasy. There's about 6-7 chairs at the bar, with 2 tables of 2 and 2 couches that can probably fit 7-8 people. We were greeted by Brandon and another bartender that I didn't get her name. Ordered the Somewhere in the Middle and Winter. Both drinks were good and tasty. For my second drink, I asked them to come up with a drink using the smoker. It consisted of mezcal, lime juice, simply syrup & basil. It was basically a margarita, but was still good. I like how they were so accommodating and was able to come up with a drink to my preference. Price wise, it comes out to about $18-$20 a drink. I also liked that Brandon was able to provide us with samples of their liquor to see if we like it in the drinks. The only thing that I didn't like is because it's such a small space, it can get very loud. I just wished that the people there could be a little more considerate about how loud their voices get. The music was good, but hard to care a conversation if the volume was too loud. One thing to note is that the Speakeasy downstairs is only open on Fridays & Saturdays. There is also a vendor that sells personal sized pizza on these nights. I love that since they don't sell food here, you can bring in any food you like. Definitely will be coming back here in the near future. Just wished that it was closer to home.

Strong drinks and great atmosphere for a chill date night. Great service too! Be prepared may have to wait as it is a smaller place.

I had seen this place every time I went to Bad Ass Tacos but hadn't stopped in. My niece is visiting from Chicago to take care of me after a fall and a fractured knee!One early evening she suggested we get out of the house for a little bit so my daughter who's a whiskey drinker suggested another place and I said well why not try something that 3 of us could enjoy. I don't care for whiskey!We decided on Oak & Iron!! I'm glad we went, we got there early so not too many people at that time. The place is not very big but it has a great bar and a downstairs room for a large group.Erika was our server and she was very knowledgeable about what's available, what's tasty and she gave us a run down of the different seguidores available.I tried something different every time I'd order and the last drink we had Erika surprise us and she did not fail!It did end up getting full after we had been there for about an hour. I can't wait to go back!!!Check this place out.

Probably the best Old Fashioned I've ever had was at this place. Mobile pizza cooker guys were out front baking personal pizzas and those were amazing too. Bravo.
We drive all the way from Santa Barbara for Brandon’s gin drinks- the high tea and dealers choice “consolation prize” are unreal!! Please please please Oak and Iron- make these two drinks regularly featured! A wonderful bar with fabulous cocktails and great service ?

Great drinks and great staff! Not only do they make you feel like family but they are super professional. I was super impressed by bartender Ryan as I witnessed him cutting off some very intoxicated customers in such an eloquent and professional way. This is a high end establishment and he offered them some water before serving them to make sure they were ok. Regardless of his kindness, it wasn’t well received by the clearly intoxicated patrons and as they exited (hastily I might add) yet he remained calm, smiled and wished them a safe ride home. I don’t own a bar, but if I did, this would be an employee I would want. Not only looking out for the well being of the customer but the integrity of the bar and the rest of us here who enjoy this place. Thank you Ryan for caring about everyone involved.Side note- drinks are amazing! Ryan made up a drink not on the menu and it’s quite possibly my favorite drink here. It doesn’t have a name or I would recommend it.

Have come here so many times and always have a good experience. The bartenders are always cool and usually pretty funny too. The drinks are great, with so many options. My favorite is “dealers choice” which is basically giving the bar free reign on creativity, where they just whip something cool together. I’ve been downstairs for the speakeasy section as well for a tequila tasting. If you’re in the area, definitely give this place a try
