Great service and the food was excellent and very beautiful inside

Amazing date night experience! Wonderful food and ambiance. Friendly staff.

We had a great experience at Oak Barrel Public House on Saturday, March 8, 2025. We had a 6:30 pm reservation but arrived early at 5:50 pm because of the Bucks game and the Shamrock Shuffle, which had closed off streets and created large crowds. Despite being early, the staff was very accommodating. They even had a table ready for us earlier than expected, and we were seated with minimal wait time. The place was packed with Shamrock Shuffle participants, but the service remained attentive and friendly. Even with the busy atmosphere, we never felt overlooked. Unfortunately, they were out of my first choice, the Whiskey Bacon Chili ($8.99), but I went with the Pulled Bacon ($13.99) instead — bourbon cider braised pulled bacon with Kentucky bourbon sauce, flame-roasted jalapeño corn pico, and pickled red onion. It turned out to be a great second option — rich, flavorful, and very satisfying. Person #2 had the Chicken Caprese Wrap ($16.99) with fries, which they said was tasty and light without feeling heavy. Person #3 ordered the Oak Barrel Signature Wings ($17.99), but they were also out, so they opted for the Buffalo Chicken Wrap ($16.99) with fries and were happy with the choice. While it was surprising that two of the three of us couldn’t get our first choice so early in the evening, the positive service and quick seating made up for it. The table time limits were clear from the website, but we never felt rushed. Overall, a very positive experience — we’d definitely return!

Was our first time together Avli and we can not wait to go back. We are planning to go with our dinner club. Such a warm space, lovely decorated and comfortable. The service was excellent. He explained our questions carefully. The food was SO good. We enjoyed the hummus. My cocktail was fantastic, Cretan bull. Chicken souvlaki was so flavorful and tender and the walleye was also very flavorful, tad spicy. Then there was dessert, 3 choices, we had something that had bits of nuts and cookies with ice cream on top - man that was good! Not too sweet or rich.

Mothers Day brunch - food, service and atmosphere were all fabulous
