The Oak Barrel

Great boutique liquor store with an excellent cellar for wines, beers and whiskey. They hold whiskey/cider/beer appreciation nights on a monthly basis for the average punter to learn and enjoy their favourite beverage. They also have a lifetime membership program that offers discounts on their products with a one time fee.

So happy to have found this place. Staying at the Wyndham Sydney Suites and wanted a place to purchase good alcohol to enjoy in our apartment before heading out to dinner. This is the kind of bottle shop where I’ll choose my alcohol first and then look for a restaurant that allows BYO or just get Uber Eats and stay in. No restaurant selection matches what they offer here - especially when it comes to boutique beers. Currently visiting from Brisbane and have vowed that when next back in Sydney, this place will be on my list of things to do! Will always return now. Got a lovely French lady who was incredibly knowledgeable on Champagnes and sparkling varieties. Looking forward to trying the Pet-nat that we bought. It’s a step sideways from the usual sparkling varieties we drink. Hubby got a lovely bottle of Pinot Noir from Tasmania.

Great selection of whisky, helpful staff that know their range

This is probably one of the best bottle shops in the city. They have hundreds of different types of beers, and they usually host tastings. Staff is friendly as well. Totally recommended.

Great range of hard to find beer, wine and whiskey (plus other drinks too). Friendly and helpful staff.

Amazing craft beer, wine, and whiskey selection. Fun events. Great rewards for member loyalty.

A great range of craft beers, but I'm concerned with the lack of refrigeration. I'll admit that I've never had a beer from here spoil, but it still makes buying from here a gamble.

There are several bottle shops around Sydney that keep all their beer cold and have better prices.

Reason for 3 stars is that the whiskey selection is great.

Excellent place. Great variety of beers and wine. Nice crew as well.

Great range. Holds really interesting tasting sessions and events.

Fantastic independent bottle shop with a great range of wine, gin, whisky, bourbon, beer and cider. Awesome events on a regular basis. Just a wonderful place.

Fantastic place. Scotches and other spirits you won't find anywhere else in Australia. The staff are very polite and extremely knowledgeable about the products. Paul John Single Cask is amazing.
