Cork & Barrel

Cocktails were acclimate, wide variety of whiskey, knowledge behind the spirits. Mitch the owner is an awesome guy! I highly suggest giving this small business your attention! We live out of state but will definitely be back every time we visit!

The bartender was very nice and helpful. The drinks were delicious! My favorite was Quit Cha Mitchin'. They have good seasonal drinks as well.

Very cool place! Great drinks and great service.

Impressive collection (bourbon, rye, Port). Very knowledgeable. Offers great personal customer service, goes out of their way to make you feel at home. Low key quiet atmosphere w/soft tunes. Apparently, a fire pit out back. Looking to expand the collection into Irish & Scotch whiskey. We'll be back! Thanks Mitch!

Went here with some friends for an evening beverage. Atmosphere is spectacular. We had a couple manhattens and old fashions. They were both excellent. We also tried a top shelf whisky that was also wonderful. We plan to stop here a couple more times on our little vacation.

Great spot for some cocktails or wine! The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. The drinks are delicious, with a wide variety of bourbons and a decent selection of wine (glass or bottle). Stop in for a drink!

This place is awesome! Amazing selection of bourbon and the absolute best service! You will be glad you stopped in.

A little weekend trip to the Driftless and we stopped here for a little afternoon respite. Cozy little place that has the whiskeys, beers and wines. Whiskey makes me shiver so I had a delightful IPA while my better half showed me who was boss with an Old Fashioned. The proprietor was awesome and the prices are spectacular. We will be coming back often. Update! And we did go back for the first time post-COVID and it was as charming as ever! My wife had the Old Fashioned and I went with another IPA! Tradition! I even learned they have a great deck out back for the outdoor enthusiasts.

Mitch is AMAZING! Great hospitality and amazing drinks! The atmosphere is really chill. Definitely stop by! UPDATE: the next day of Aug 20th after visiting this place, I received the email of my receipt. I see that Mitch charged himself a tip of $12.25. I know for sure I did not tip Mitch myself. Plus that # to tip is very odd. Not only did he to that to my but he also tipped himself on my other friends tab who I went with. NOT COOL MITCH!

10/10 mitch is an amazing owner and makes the best drinks ins the midwest the place is beautiful and perfect for anyone to enjoy

Politics and business should not mix and is poor taste if you ask me no matter what party you are with or voting for. I enjoyed the times that I did go into the establishment but then I encountered the political rally that was promoted. Never again will I do business with this establishment.

This place is something Sparta needed! A nice place to sit, relax, socialize, and enjoy a drink. Everyone is super nice and always has great recommendations for things to try! They have live music events and add to the atmosphere and wine pairing events as well. Great place to go!

Love this addition to Sparta's downtown. Relaxed atmosphere, great selection of wine, craft beer and more. Popular with the locals and visitors alike.

Love this quaint little place. It's atmosphere is rich. The service was great and the owner, Kristen, has a great team. It's a nice place to pop into to a glass or two. Thinking about trying out their tasting club-which I didn't know they had til recently. Live music and now the outside patio-can't wait to see what else they bring to the night life for downtown!

Been here a couple times. I'll give it 5 stars because I think this place is just what its trying to be. Its not insanely ritzy but its not 10 guys on bar stools drinking Busch Light either. Its a small place, about 25 seats (some are couches) but its a great place for date night or just stopping after work for a drink or two if you like wine and whiskey. They also keep a few rotating craft beers on tap so there should be something for everyone. They do not serve food but when I was there another table had a pizza delivered so that seems to be an option if your'e hungry.

Nice cozy place with great drink selection, love this addition to Sparta! I'll definitely be back often.
