About Us

Located in the heart of Midtown East Manhattan—on East 57th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenue, directly across from Whole Foods—Oak and Barrel is your neighborhood wine and spirits destination with a twist: more space, smarter organization, better value, and exceptional service.

Since opening our doors in the fall of 2014, we’ve been driven by one mission: make shopping for wine and spirits simple, enjoyable, and rewarding.
