The Oak Barrel

"My favorite wine shop in the springs. It's small and locally owned by a couple who are extremely knowledgeable about their collection. I wasn't quite sure of what I wanted, but they helped me pick out two wines that did not disappoint in the slightest! Did not get the chance, but it seems that they do tastings once a week as well."

"Great selection of wines and liquors. Very good Italian bottles and very well priced. Personnel is kind and knowledgeable. Absolutely my favorite spot!"

"Husband and wife were just so over the top friendly in helping us decide what wines we would like it was pure bliss!!!!!!!! MOST DEFINITELY COMING BACK"

"This place is a relative newcomer to Colorado Springs ' specialty wine and spirits scene, and really has only two shops in its lesgue: Sovereignty Wines and Coaltrain's. The difference is that those high-quslity.businesses offer a broader selection, while the Osk Barrel is a true specialty shop. I recommend it to anyone who is a connoisseur of fine whiskeys. Al Isaac's, the owner, is personable and truly knowledgeable in this realm. Like Sovereignty. This is a place to come if you not only want to buy, but also discuss and learn about fine whiskeys."

"The Oak Barrel is a fairly new shop in the burgeoning Creekwalk. Clean and modern, it’s presents as a wine shop, and not the average, corner liquor store. However, the selection is surprisingly small and the prices surprisingly high. This is not the place to go for a deal, nor is it the place to go for friendly service. Frankly, the owners are a bit abrupt and seemed almost surprised to see customers. We may check back in a month or two, but it’s unlikely to become a regular stop for us."
