Aged In Oak Auctions & Tasting Parlor — Restaurant in Vernon Hills

I recently visited Aged in Oak Vernon Hills, tucked away behind Binny's Beverage Store. The old truck carrying barrels outside is a great starting point, setting the tone for the unique experience within. As a whiskey enthusiast, this place is like a paradise. Aged in Oak is essentially a whiskey auction house turned upscale bar and lounge. The moment you step inside, you'll be greeted by an impressive selection of rare and vintage whiskeys behind the bar. The spacious interior boasts comfortable tables, chairs, and plush couches - perfect for sipping on your favorite whiskey or handcrafted cocktails. What sets Aged in Oak apart is its welcoming atmosphere. You're encouraged to bring your own food, chat with friends, play board games, or get lost in a book. The service is top-notch, and the cocktails are carefully crafted. Be sure to try their flagship brand, Chicken Cock whiskey, distilled in Bardstown, Kentucky. We indulged in the crème brûlée old fashioned and the Dubai chocolate martini - both were phenomenal. With plenty of parking and a versatile space ideal for parties and private events, Aged in Oak is a must-visit destination for whiskey enthusiasts and those looking for a unique experience. We'll definitely be back to explore more of...
