Looks the Oakroom finally sold. There is a liquor license tranfer notice in the window listing Timberline Ranch Inc. (out of North Fork) as the new owners. Current owners say the transaction will be complete in 70 days. Will wonders never cease??

Hi,

I'm one of the new owners of the Oakroom, and I just wanted to thank everyone who's come in and said how happy they are with the place in just the past week we've taken over. Its really overwhelming how nice and complementary everyone has been. We've been having a lot of fun, and from everything everyone has been telling us, you have been too.

In answer to a few of the questions we've been getting a lot, I'd just note that 1) yes, we are keeping the name 2) yes, we do have some changes planned such as improving the bathrooms and the parking lot lighting and perhaps some other things if we can get the county to give us permits 3) yes we have been cleaning at a furious rate and still have further to go 4) yes we have changed one rule - no drugs.

Thanks again to everyone! Our top priorities are that the Oakroom is a clean, safe, and fun place to enjoy.

Welcome! I've already been in and seen some of the changes. Very friendly family you have!

It was great to meet you on Friday night Nas. The Oak Room is already looking a whole lot better and their was a great crowd of people on Friday. I think you will do very good. I'd like to encourage everyone to stop in.

I, too, had a great time Friday night. It was nice to meet you and your wife, Nas. Gotta say, the service was great, and being able to see out windows was nice, too... The patio looked like a different room since the fixtures have been cleaned/replaced? Looks like y'all are on the right track... keep up the good work.


So, tell us Nas, what's the plan for the Yarn Barn?

I am planning on going to the Oak Room tomorrow (Friday) night. An old friend is in town and we are going to go out for drinks to catch up. She moved away from Oakhurst a decade ago and this is her first visit back. Come on out to the Oak Room to see all of the improvements. :)

Sandman & Dodgergirl it was nice to see you last night; hope you had a good time. It was a pretty good crowd, a good mix of guys and gals, and everyone seemed to be having fun.

[Dodgergirl]

I had a great time. I really enjoyed our conversation.

I saw a flyer for St. Patricks Day last night. Is this a public event at the OR? details, please...

Since the Oak Room has changed owners and many changes have been made, I have reset the poll that is attached to this thread. Please only vote on this poll if you have visited the Oak Room since the new owners have taken over.

Also, The Oak Room is having a potluck today. Come on by and join the party and have a green beer.

I just wanted to say that I stopped by the Oak Room for a beer last night and the place was packed. Even though it was busy, I got quick and friendly service as soon as I walked in the door. Many locals are realizing that the Oak Room has changed a lot and this is the place to be if you are going out to have a few drinks. The prices are fair, there is no cover charge and it's a fun place to be on a Friday or Saturday night. The locals go to the Oak Room. The tourists go to the overpriced bars. Many locals switched to the less expensive and fun alternative. If you visit the Oak Room, you'll see why. So stop by the Oak Room tonight if you are looking for something to do. You'll be impressed.

Hi Sandman,

It all sounds good, we havent been back in the Oakroom for years, but it sounds like it miight be worth checking out anew! Do they have new bartenders? or the same ones? Thanks :yes:

[Sandman]

You will see a few familiar faces behind the bar. Eddie and Sheila are still there. Other than that, it is mostly a family owned and operated bar. The entire family is great! One of the owners is there at all times. They now have video cameras setup for added safety. It's kind of cool... you can sit at the bar and watch live reality television. :lol: It's cleaner, safer and all around a much improved Oak Room. It's a nice place to stop for a cold beer after a long week of work.

It all sounds good! Thank you ! :yes: We will definately be stopping in one day soon ! :)

Tonight we tested out playing Wii games at the Oak Room, and it went pretty well.

The folks who played enjoyed bowling, tennis, & baseball. It got a little crowded at one point, when we had a group playing shuffleboard (which we've moved inside recently), another group playing darts, a few dancing, and some playing pool all in the same general area; but, everyone had a good time and made accommodations for one another. At other points, it wasn't so crowded and those who had never played the Wii before seemed to get a real kick out of it.

A number suggested "Guitar Hero" as a great possibility, and I agree.

Bottom line, I will be doing "Wii Wednesdays" again, and will keep doing so as long as it goes well. There's some logistics - - such as making sure the remotes don't get lost / damaged, making sure it doesn't get too crowded in one area, and determining a fair value, etc. But as long as folks have fun and desire it then that's a good thing.
