"A formative venue in which the current cocktail creator developed the craft and flavor experimentation—using top‑shelf spirits and homemade ingredients—that now informs his menus." - Ryan Slattery
"Regularly heralded as one of the top whiskey bars in the country, this Downtown Container Park mainstay features a carefully curated whiskey list, plus barrel-aged cocktails, hard cider, and seasonal selections (non-whiskey drinkers will still find plenty to love on the menu here too). An inviting, elevated patio space makes for the perfect date-night spot." - Janna Karel
"Inside the Downtown Container Park sits this tiny but formidable bar, Oak & Ivy, with its barrel-aged and specialty cocktails with whiskey as the star of the show. More than 30 make the menu." - Janna Karel
"This small cocktail bar located in the Downtown Container Park features specialty cocktails and rare beers along with an extensive list of whiskeys. Head to the open patio or to the rooftop to enjoy a Bow Tai with Zacapa 23 and Yellow Chartreuse, or one of the mules or whiskey concoctions on the menu." - Janna Karel
"Oak & Ivy can’t help being a tourist magnet. The cocktail bar occupies its own shipping container within the Downtown Container Park, with extended seating on the roof and a surrounding lounge area. Yet this popular drinking destination has some of the most astute bartenders on Fremont Street, with excellent cocktails and a thoughtful whiskey list. The versatility of Angel’s Envy Rye Finished in Rum Casks is well-suited for the Perfect Manhattan, prepared with both Italian sweet and extra dry vermouth and all day bitters. The drink arrives in a Nick & Nora glass with a couple finishes, including rum raisin ice cream." - Vox Creative
