6 Best Cocktail Bars near Central Valley

“We always enjoy stopping by Black Dirt Bourbon Barn whenever we’re shopping at Woodbury Common. It’s the perfect place to take a break, relax for a bit, and recharge before continuing our shopping.

They have a really nice selection of beers, bourbons, wines, ciders, and creative cocktails, so there’s something for everyone. We especially appreciate the variety of local craft beverages they offer.

One of my favorite things about this place is the snack menu. The charcuterie boards, cheeses, and other small bites are perfect for sharing while enjoying a drink. It’s a great spot to unwind without having to sit down for a full meal.

The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff is always friendly, and it’s become one of our favorite little traditions whenever we’re at the outlets. If you’re spending the day shopping, I definitely recommend making a stop here—you won’t regret it! 🍻“

“The history of this lodge is incredible! We had an enjoyable dinner here with a family of six. It felt like the servers were in training at the beginning of the summer season- there was a learning curve, but that was honestly adorable. Highly recommend the side of mushrooms!“
