venue Oakcrest Tavern

Shorewood residents will do a double take when they enter Oakcrest Tavern, which completely modernized the space once occupied by Red Rock. It picks up a bit of the former seafood restaurant’s slack by serving steamed mussels seasonally, crab cakes, and a stellar Friday fish-fry, along with burgers, sandwiches, prime rib, and pasta. The bar boasts an extensive roster of beer and wine, and it is smoke-free. Sidewalk seating along Capitol Drive is a great place to people-watch and enjoy a meal.
