Craft beer & cocktails

What to drink at Wye Oak Tavern

The bar program is a central part of the Wye Oak Tavern experience. Here is what to know about the draft beer lineup and house cocktail menu.

Rotating taps

Craft Draft Beer

The draft board rotates with local and regional craft brewery partnerships. Expect IPAs, lagers, stouts, wheat ales, and a seasonal tap. The list changes; ask your server for today's pours.

House cocktail

Oak Old Fashioned

Bourbon, house demerara syrup, Angostura and orange bitters over a large ice cube with expressed orange peel. The signature bar drink — classically built and consistently ordered.

Summer / group pick

Tavern Mule & Sangria

The Tavern Mule (vodka, lime, ginger beer) and the House Sangria Pitcher are the two most popular warm-weather group drink orders. The Sangria Pitcher is ideal for tables of four or more.

Non-alcoholic

Mocktails & Soft Drinks

The Citrus Spritz mocktail (fresh OJ, grapefruit, honey syrup, sparkling water) is the best non-alcoholic option. Full soft drink and lemonade selection available too.

Spirits menu

Whiskey & Bourbon Focus

As an American tavern, the spirits list leans toward American whiskey and bourbon — the backbone of the Old Fashioned and Whiskey Sour programs. Ask for the current pour list at the bar.

Wine

Wine by the Glass

A rotating wine program features red, white, and rose selections by the glass. Not the focus of the menu, but a solid supporting cast for guests who prefer wine with their meal.

Seasonal

Seasonal Draft Tap

Rotating seasonal pour — pumpkin ale in fall, winter warmer December through February, wheat ale in summer. Ask your server for the current seasonal.

Feature

Smoked Brisket Bites

Slow-smoked beef brisket bites with pickled red onion and house BBQ — the starter that converts non-believers.

Limited

House Sangria Pitcher

Red or white sangria with seasonal fruit and brandy — rotates flavor by season. Available by glass or pitcher.

Permanent

Oak Old Fashioned

The house signature cocktail — always on the menu and consistently the most-ordered drink at the bar.

10 oz. NY strip with bistro fries and compound butter — the premium dinner entree pick on the menu.

Ordering tips

How to get the most out of your Wye Oak Tavern visit

First visit

Start with the Pretzel Board

The Tavern Pretzel Board is the ideal first-round order for the table. Beer cheese sauce, whole-grain mustard, and house pickles pair with any draft on the board and set the tone for the meal.

Best burger

Go for The Oak Burger

First-timers should anchor on the house signature — The Oak Burger with aged cheddar and bacon. It's the kitchen's benchmark and the one the burger menu is built around.

Craft beer

Ask about the local taps

The rotating draft list is one of the tavern's calling cards. Ask your server which local brewery is featured that week and whether there's a seasonal or limited pour on the board.

Groups

Order shareables for the table

For groups of four or more, order two or three starters to share (Wings + Nachos + Pretzel Board) alongside individual entrees. The Sangria Pitcher is an efficient group drink order.

Happy hour

Check happy hour for best value

Most American tavern formats like Wye Oak Tavern run a weekday happy hour on draft beers and well cocktails. Confirm the current happy hour schedule with the restaurant directly.

Dietary needs

Tell your server upfront

The kitchen handles a mix of gluten-containing and gluten-free ingredients. If you have dietary restrictions, flag them when seated — the kitchen can often accommodate substitutions or modifications.

About Wye Oak Tavern

An American tavern built around craft food and craft beer.

Wye Oak Tavern operates in the American tavern and gastropub tradition: a full kitchen turning out handcrafted burgers, smoked meats, fresh salads, and serious entrees alongside a bar program centered on rotating local craft drafts and house cocktails. The name draws on the tradition of American taverns named for landmark trees — gathering places with character and a sense of place.

The menu balances approachability (wings, burgers, sandwiches) with ambition (Steak Frites, Smoked Ribs, Grilled Salmon). The result is a restaurant equally at home for a casual weeknight beer and burger or a more leisurely weekend dinner. Visit wyeoaktavern.com for current hours, reservations, and location details.
