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 14 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 away 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 eight TVs will have it! 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.

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 kids of all ages–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? Use the lot across the street; but don’t leave it past 7am,  you might get towed! Better choices: walk, Lyft or Uber.

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. Our bartender Jessica is a brewmaster, and come hell or high water no sub-par beer will sneak its way onto our rotation with her on the job!
