Meet Lexi, one of Oak’s awesome cooks and host! It was her birthday a couple days ago, and at work, another of Oak’s amazing team members, Harlotte, presented her with an original painting of a unicorn! We feel so lucky to have such wonderful (and super talented!) people in our little crew. Happy birthday, Lexi! You are a gem, girl! And dang, Harlotte, that painting is amazing! 💝🦄🎉🎂🎈
Hey friends! It’s last call for Oak’s Buffalo Cauliflower Wings! We will be serving them through the weekend, but Sunday is their last day on the specials menu. Don’t worry if you can’t make it in for them this weekend - our Buffalo Cauliflower “wings” with Oak’s housemade vegan ranch and tangy buffalo sauce is a customer favorite, and we bring them back on the specials menu every few months. To know what special menu items we are offering currently, follow Oak on instagram or check our news blog on our website! Be on the lookout for some tasty new items debuting on Monday!
Tonight (Friday) AND Sunday at 5pm for game 2 of NBA Finals! Oak is known for often playing Bob Ross videos in our bar, but we also enjoy the Sports Ball as much as anyone! Our new room, we’re calling the Bear Den, has a gorgeous 4K 55” tv and a fancy separate 4 speaker sound system. We will be opening it up this Sunday at 5pm to play game 2 of the NBA Finals with sound pumping through the speakers! Seating is 1st come - 1st serve, starting at 4:30pm. The Den is also open to the public every Friday, with more days to come. 🏀🍻
For some of us, rosé season is all the time, but there is no denying the spike in popularity rosé receives with the arrival of blue skies and sunshine! Though we only have one type of rosé here at Oak, it was very carefully chosen. We tasted dozens of brands of rosé before deciding on Provenance. This delightful pink beverage is not too dry, and not too sweet... it lands right in the “Goldilocks zone”... just right! Have a glass or buy a bottle for the table and enjoy! 🌹🍷🌹
Oak’s new extension to the 21+ lounge is open tonight, Friday May 24th!
Never be without a seat at Oak again! (We’re pretty sure about that..) #seattlevegan #seattlerestaurants #beaconhillseattle #oakseattle
What’s your summertime drink jam? What do you take on picnics, or beaches, boat rides, or camping trips? How about a hard seltzer? Who doesn’t love the refreshment of an ice cold fizzy beverage, lightly flavored with fresh fruit (or vegetable in the case of cucumber!), accompanied by that relaxing buzz inspired by summertime?! Right now, Oak is carrying a very special strain of hard seltzer, made by a local company who uses quality organic ingredients! Sound Craft Seltzer is a company branch of Two Beers Brewing, which is a much loved local brewing establishment of Seattle. Visit https://soundseltzer.com to learn more about the company or where you can buy their product, but remember to try it out here at Oak, where we proudly represent awesome, locally made, high quality adult beverages! As the folks at Sound Craft Seltzer say, “Stay Cool”!
Klara, one of Oak’s treasured cooks, has brought her take on Tom Kah Soup to the table - Thai coconut cream, mushroom, and tofu soup with flavors of ginger, lime, and garlic. We thank Klara for her delicious contribution to Oak’s menu and for sharing these wonderful flavors with our tastebuds! Come by Oak and try a cup!
The Spicy Toadstool - now on Oak’s specials menu! It’s our take on a classic mushroom-Swiss burger - 1/3 lb organic country beef patty piled with sliced mushrooms that have been sautéed with garlic, then topped with a double dose of melty Swiss cheese with our house-made special jalapeño aioli. Satisfying to the core!

Hey friends! Today is the second Friday that we will be opening The Den at 7pm, which is Oak’s new 21+ room! Enjoy ambient lighting, unique bear art, and table service in Oak’s addition! .
Most of us would agree... social media sites can bog a person down with all kinda of unneeded drama, product ads, depressing news stories, and who-knows what else!? As of just a few weeks ago, Oak finally obtained it’s very own website, so for those that have been trying to avoid the mess of media feeds that can be stressful or accidentally claim too much of your time, we have an alternative for you. Visit our website at oak-seattle.com and skip the drama barrage of social media sites! We have a newsfeed link directly on the homepage, and also easy access to current bar and dinner menus!
Oak’s beer selection is carefully curated by the owner, Jeff, along with employees of Oak who enjoy a good beer! Today we had a visit from representatives from Lowercase brewing, one of Seattle’s amazing local breweries. Jeff and one of our awesome bartenders, Sunnie, are tasting some potential options for some new beer options! Stay tuned for which one is chosen. Also, give Lowercase a visit sometime - they are located right off airport way in Georgetown, just a hop and skip from Oak. If you discover an awesome beer there, be sure to share it with us here at Oak so we can put it in the running for a potential draft beer in the future. Cheers for beers! 🍺🍻🍺🍻
The soft opening of Oak’s new room, “The Den”, was a success! If you didn’t get a chance to stop in last night, don’t worry - we will be opening The Den at 7pm once again on Friday! 🍻
Join us Friday, May 10th (tomorrow!!), for the soft opening of Oak’s new addition, “The Den”! Come enjoy the Oak atmosphere in a new, unique, ambient, and well-curated space that can accommodate up to thirty people. You must be 21+ to enter The Den. To find The Den, wander to the back of the bar, and look through the doorway to your left. If you spot the polar bear on the wall, you have made it! The Den will open at 7pm (the rest of the restaurants opens at 4pm). See you Friday night!

Oak’s heartiest and popular dinner salad, The Kale Chicken Caesar, has many faces. Enjoy it with our delicious fried chicken, have it completely vegan with our house made faux-chicken tenders, or ask for it vegetarian style with shaved Parmesan atop the faux-chicken as is pictured here! Equally decadent in all forms!
Kelly, one of Oak’s owners, is a very talented artist. Amongst many of her original contributions to Oak’s unique and beautiful aesthetic are these two beautiful murals, paying tribute to all the natural beauty that surrounds the city of Seattle in our mountains and forests. Have a meal in our dining room and enjoy the scenery!
This past weekend was quite eventful for Oak - we had the amazing pleasure of celebrating not one, but two birthdays of two very talented Beacon Hill chefs!! Bar Del Corso’s Mako and Oak’s Olivia both celebrated their birthdays at Oak and we all had SO MUCH FUN! Happy birthday to two of the most lovely people in the neighborhood! We love you!
The pot still procedure for distilling liquor dates back to the end of the 15th century. Homage is paid to this timeless craft with Willett Pot Still Reserve. From the clean taste of the meticulously concocted whiskey aged in white oak casks to perfection, to the shape of the bottle that represents the kettle-like imagery of a traditional pot still, Willett Pot Still Reserve Whiskey captures a timeless activity in it’s contents - sipping a glass of whiskey, tasting the complex flavors, and feeling appreciation for the process as you experience a beautiful whiskey-induced state of relaxation.
