The Bourbon Barrel

Step back to a time when bourbon flowed freely and the smell of great food wafted through the air, where glasses were raised often and great storytelling from master distillers and bourbon enthusiasts abound.

Located in downtown Sonora California, The Bourbon Barrel offers a taste of the south with an infusion of California mountain cuisine. From our wide selection of American-made bourbons to our "good for the soul" food, enjoy our comfortable atmosphere while sipping one of our bourbon based libations.

In 1964 a resolution of the U.S. Congress declared bourbon to be a "distinctive product of the United States" and that "the appropriate agencies of the United States Government…take appropriate action to prohibit the importation into the United States of any whiskey designated as 'Bourbon,’” as "Bourbon Whiskey" is solely produced in the United States. We honor that great traditional by carrying a large selection of the best bourbons America has to offer.

So God Bless America and this great spirit we can call our own, whether you are from California or Kentucky, New York City or Biloxi, enjoy some bourbon at The Bourbon Barrel, a great American eatery and watering hole.
