A new bar dedicated to local spirits has opened in Charlotte’s South End neighborhood. Dubbed Oaklore Bar & Bottle Shop, it is a collaboration between Oaklore Distilling and Orosoko Sound Bar. Oaklore Distilling, which initiated its operations in Matthews in 2022, has been eagerly working on this new venue that officially launched with a soft opening.

The bar offers customers the chance to sample the distillery’s range of beverages, including whiskey, vodka, rum, and gin, all crafted with North Carolina grains. Patrons can enjoy a selection of craft and classic cocktails featuring these spirits, and they can also purchase full bottles from the shop.

To complement the drinks, food will be provided from Orosoko’s "O-ToGo" window, featuring a menu infused with Latin and Asian flavors, including dishes like smoked chile duck confit tacos and firecracker shrimp.

The bar’s cocktail menu is designed to excite with options such as The Southender, Red Sangria, and Oaklore Sour. The location aims to create a vibrant community space for locals looking to experience high-quality, locally sourced beverages and delicious food.
