Craft Beer in Sherman Oaks
Welcome to The Oaks Tavern, your go-to spot for craft beer in Sherman Oaks. We offer craft beer on 16 rotating taps, with more than 30 other bottled craft beers to meet the taste buds of all beer connoisseurs in Los Angeles. A lot of people refer to us as a dive bar, and that’s okay. We like to think of ourselves more as a neighborhood bar located conveniently one block north of Ventura Boulevard on Moorpark Street off Woodman Avenue. We are Time Warner and Direct TV subscribers, so no matter what game you want to watch, one of our eleven TVs will have it! If you are a Philadelphia Eagles fan, you will find yourself in good company. You will find many a Philly fan raising a pint to their birds! We do love fans from all teams though, we don’t discriminate. Enjoy a game of pool, or play shuffleboard; we offer a clean, laid-back environment to enjoy a craft beer or custom cocktail with various entertainment outlets.
The Oaks Tavern by Day
During the day you can enjoy a delicious craft beer served by one of our friendly, knowledgeable bartenders, or a custom cocktail like our spicy mango margarita or our Moscow Mule. We have a full bar of top-shelf liquor, and if you love your scotch and whiskeys, our selection won’t disappoint. During the day locals and regulars congregate to share the details of their work day, tell some pretty hilarious stories, and simply unwind from the hum-drum and chaos of life with a good craft beer and our complimentary movie-theatre quality fresh popcorn. If you are looking for a low-key, chill craft beer bar, The Oaks Tavern in Sherman Oaks is the best option, void of the bustling crowds typical to bars on Ventura Boulevard. Super Bowl Sunday is coming up and we are having our 8th annual potluck, so plan your dish now! February 3rd is approaching! Doors open at 12pm, game time is 3:30pm.
The Oaks Tavern by Night
When 9PM rolls over, The Oaks Tavern transforms from the daytime chill spot to an energetic karaoke bar with craft beer, cocktails, and lots of colorful characters! We get a little louder when the sun goes down, and we get a great mix of guests ranging from college students to locals, and anyone passing through town looking for things to do in Los Angeles on a weekday or weekend evening. Come have an Old Fashioned, or a beer and spin our Shot Wheel of Death to win a $5 drink deal. It’s fun for everyone as long as you’re 21 and up! See our calendar to check Karaoke times and be sure to gargle with hot salt water so you can belt out those notes! When you come party with us, be it a Thursday night, or on a weekend, be prepared to make new friends, enjoy delicious cocktails and craft beer, and make a fool of yourself along with everyone else, no judgement! We get a great crowd from UCLA, USC, CSUN, Valley College, Pierce, and people simply passing through who want to let loose, forget that tomorrow is a work day, or that their big Anatomy quiz is the following morning. Can’t find parking? We recommend walking, Lyft or Uber.

Craft Beer in Los Angeles
There are a lot of bars in Los Angeles that serve craft beer, and we pride ourselves on the variety we offer. If you enjoy a hoppy IPA, a subtle pale ale, bold stouts and porters; if you have a nose for more aromatic beers such as a Belgian, sour, saison, or intense flavor combinations such as bourbon barrel aged beers, peanut butter stouts, or chili pepper IPAs, we carry them all.

What’s Happening This Week At The Oaks Tavern
You might know King Orr as a local karaoke celebrity, because he’s been running Sunday night karaoke at The Good Nite for years! Since the change in ownership there, he has parted ways with his longtime bar and we are lucky enough to get him at The Oaks for karaoke on Sunday Nights. King likes to play a mix of hip hop, soul, and R&B, but it’s not exclusive, “sing whatever is on your soul” on Sundays.
Come in every Sunday Monday & Tuesday night for late night happy hour! All of us servers and bartenders out there know we don’t get to party on the weekends, but that makes us lucky. We don’t have to deal with “amateur hour” when we are trying to drink ( we just have to serve them drinks on Friday and Saturday). So as a special thank you to everyone who serves out there, we offer $5 Wells and 25% off everything else all night on Sunday, Mondays & Tuesdays after 10pm. Even if you aren’t in the industry, you’ll enjoy the discounts.

Live Band Acoustic Karaoke and Open Mic Singer/ Songwriterevery Tuesday in Sherman Oaks
Join us for a new karaoke experience. Instead of singing with a track and viewing your words on the screen, you get to sing with live musicians backing you up on guitar. Mike Apple is very talented and has about 75 songs for you to choose from. The way it works- come in, look at the book of songs, sign up for a song, get up and sing the song. We have all the words typed up for you on an iPad. If you need a little help, Apple is a great back up singer or duet partner. If you are a singer/ songwriter and want to bring your own guitar and sing your own stuff, you can sign up to sing that way too! We just require a one drink minimum to sing.
Live band acoustic karaoke is one of my favorite nights. It’s chill, the music is not too loud and you really get to feel like a star- like Jack Johnson or Colbie Caillat. Our venue is small, so we can’t do a big “rock band”, acoustic karaoke is the perfect fit for our neighborhood spot. If you have not been down on a Tuesday you have to come and check it out. Plus you have Jenny and Duff working behind the bar, the friendliest bartenders on the planet. There are weekly shot and drink specials to accompany your night of singing with the band.

Join us every Wednesday for Team Trivia with King Trivia!
Every week teams of 2-5 people compete to prove they are the smartest, or at least they have to most random information in their memory banks. Not only do you get bragging rights, but first place gets a $30 gift certificate, second place gets a $20 gift certificate, and if we have 5 or more teams we also give out third place and worst place prizes! Even if you aren’t so good at the trivia stuff (I suck at Trivia Crack), it’s fun to join in! Bring your friends who are smarter than you because you’re allowed to have up to 5 people on your trivia team-that’s why team trivia is better than solo trivia. We don’t give points for creative answers, but sometimes you’ll get free glassware and swag just for being the funniest. Our host is Andrew Sandoval. He loves to hear his voice over the mic and you won’t mind him too much either.
Team Trivia starts at 8pm, so grab some takeout food on your way home from work and get here before 7pm to take advantage of our happy hour specials. We allow any food to be brought in, just no drinks, so skip the combo in that In & Out drive through. If you can’t make it by 7pm we still have daily drink specials to take advantage of, plus our normal prices are great to begin with. It is a one drink per person minimum to participate in our team trivia- if you’re sober, that’s okay, we have soda, juice and delicious cold-pressed coffee from Modern Times Brewery!
When team trivia is over around 10pm, we have Rock and Roll Karaoke with Atara. You don’t have to sing rock, but she will.
Meet our new KJ, Emily Kirk! Emily is a musician and comedian and hosts events all over town and now she is at The Oaks on Wednesday nights hosting karaoke for you! Karaoke starts at 10pm as soon as Team Trivia is over. Come enjoy some good music and some fantastic singers!
