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. 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. The Bourbon Barrel, raise a glass to great food and spirits......

Two awards, one incredible community! 🥂

We’re thrilled to share that The Armory has been voted Best Happy Hour AND Best Place for a Drink in The Union Democrat’s 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards!

While we don’t have a traditional happy hour, we like to think every hour is happy at The Armory!

We take pride in the craft behind every cocktail. From our house-made syrups and signature infusions to freshly squeezed citrus, we believe the little details make all the difference. Every cocktail is thoughtfully crafted with quality ingredients, creativity, and a whole lot of passion.

These awards mean so much to us because they come from YOU, our community!

Thank you for supporting us, celebrating with us, and making The Armory your gathering place. And a special shoutout to our incredible team, whose hard work and dedication bring it all together.

Cheers to Tuolumne County and to many more happy hours together! 🍸

🐾🍸 A little cocktail with a whole lot of heart!

Introducing our November Charity Cocktail, the Pepper Kitty-Tini!

This month, we’re raising a glass for Sonora Cat Rescue, supporting the little paws in our community that need some extra love!

Meet Pepper, the adorable kitten pictured alongside our newest cocktail and the inspiration behind its name! And of course, we can’t forget sweet Salt, who’s just as adorable! 🐾

Made with Arborist Gin, Nolly Prat, Oro y Piero, peppercorn syrup, and fresh lemon, this cocktail has a little kick and a whole lot of personality!

And the cuteness doesn’t stop there! Some of these sweet kittens are still searching for their forever homes. They’ll be ready just in time for Thanksgiving, neutered and up to date on their vaccinations.

Swipe through to meet these adorable little faces, and stop by The Armory this November to sip for a great cause!

Good drinks. Great causes. Happy tails. 🐾
