White Oaks Saloon Bar & Dining
Known as one of New Mexico's ghost towns, White Oaks was once a hunting ground for American Indians before it became a bustling mining town in the late 1800s. If you close your eyes you can just picture it, like something straight out of a Western movie, complete with gambling parlour, whore house and of course the saloon. This is where people would congregate, just as they do now albeit with a little less violence and gunslinging. Inspired by the town and with a love of American craft spirits, brothers Nick and Tom Welch who also own The Silverlake Social, brought a little piece of New Mexico to Prahran when they opened White Oaks Saloon Bar & Dining back in 2014. Greville Street is one of those strips that's sometimes buzzing, but often a little sleepy, the perfect place for this very warm and inviting southside local complete with swinging saloon doors.
There's one thing the brothers do very well and that's service. A watchful eye always makes sure the Southern style food coming out of the kitchen looks perfect, and the same goes behind the bar where drinks are carefully prepared using some very unique products, sourced from the US and Mexico and distributed by the boys under their brand High Spirits Beverages. There's a wide selection of imported beers as well as cocktails and shooters that are crafted to celebrate the flavours of The Americas and complement the food perfectly.
Take the time to sit at the bar, look up at all the bottles you've never seen before and talk to the bartender like he or she is your friend. Ask for a recommendation and if you're lucky it will be a deliciously smooth bourbon or rye, something to take you back to the Old West to a town called White Oaks. Here, as it always has been, your thirst will be quenched and your hunger satisfied. Just remember to hang up your holster on the hooks beside the door.....unless you're the sherrif.
