I hold an event at White Oaks every year, and the team at White Oaks always do a great job looking after us.. I particularly love their knowledge on the imported whiskeys. Very interesting and fun to understand the detail behind the distilleries.

White Oaks in a great hidden bar away from the loud drunks on chapel Street, it's palace for genuine conversations, amazing drinks and a delicious menu( though it does need some more vegetarian options). One of my favourite bars to go to in Melbourne, please stop in for a shot of mezcal.

Food came out before drinks We had our food ate before our drinks came out also we were not even given any water. Not staffs fault as they were way too understaffed to cope with the amount of tables they were waiting on.

Waited half an hour for drinks 45 minutes for food It was predominantly cold, but as we had waited too long to eat, it wasn’t worth sending back Let’s hope it’s down to first week back teething issues This is usually a great spot for a drink and a relaxed bite to eat.

It was so nice to get back to White Oaks Saloon after lockdown. The staff are lovely and we enjoyed the best margaritas. Seriously they were amazing. After a few margaritas we decided to order some food and got some smaller dishes to pick at. All were amazing.

The food was nice, and the service was good-ish. I say this because despite the fact I made a reservation there wasn’t a spot available for me inside, bearing in mind I was dining alone. I understand mistakes happen, but still, kind of dampened the experience.

Staff were friendly and the space itself was nice. The food took a very long time to come and came out cold. We were sitting outside with no heaters so when the cold food arrived we were trying to eat fast so it wasn’t completely freezing when we were eating it. Cocktails were very small and not worth the price. Aside from the fact the food was so cold the food was nice so it’s a shame we couldn’t enjoy our meal.

White Oaks is a great little haunt with a good range of dishes and cocktails. Unfortunately not many Vegan options (just two and they are sides), so not suitable for dining, but OK for snacks to have with drinks. The service was fantastic, all the staff were great to us, would highly recommend White Oaks and we'd definitely go back again.
