Story

Oaklore Bar & Bottle Shop is a cocktail and spirituous bottle shop in Charlotte’s South End neighborhood. The project is a partnership between Oaklore Distilling Co., a highly respected, local maker of fine spirits, and Solandra Hospitality Group, the team behind Orosoko Sound Bar.

As South End’s newest bar and only spirituous bottle shop, the venue features a large, classic bar, a tasting room with soft seating for small gatherings, and a retail bottle shop offering Oaklore whiskeys, vodka, gin, rum, and other products. Guests enjoy signature and classic cocktails crafted with Oaklore spirits and can purchase bottles six days per week, including Sundays. The main bar seats roughly 20 guests, and the adjoining tasting room will accommodate an additional 16 seated guests. A large patio and canopy off the main sidewalk, overlooking Bland Street, will open in spring 2026. Two roll-up glass sectional doors provide circulation between the interior and patio areas for a seamless experience. 

Together, Oaklore and Orosoko are driving a trend toward more refined hospitality as the South End neighborhood evolves. At Oaklore, guests should expect the same attention to detail, knowledgeable service, and elevated experience that have made Orosoko a standout.
