The Cellar

Oakhurst's dinner-only spot for craft cocktails and a small, confident menu

Oakhurst, CA

About

The Cellar is Oakhurst's go-to spot for a proper sit-down dinner, pairing a small menu with a serious cocktail list. It's dinner only — doors open at 5:00 PM Wednesday through Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday — and a 4.9-star rating across 33 reviews says the kitchen and bar are doing something right.

What People Order

Reviewers keep circling back to the same short list: the burgers, the Philly cheesesteak sandwich, and a standout lobster pasta. On the drink side, the bar earns its own praise — an Old Fashioned, mezcal with Campari, and a solid by-the-glass wine list all get called out by name. Service is a real part of the draw too, with guests specifically naming a bartender for sharp recommendations and mocktail pairings.

Good to Know

Hours: Wednesday–Sunday, 5:00–9:00 PM; closed Monday and Tuesday
Phone: (559) 683-6860
Atmosphere: more than one reviewer calls out the building itself and the overall ambience as part of the appeal

Not every dish lands the same for everyone — one reviewer found a burger and the salmon underseasoned even while praising the bar — so if you're particular about seasoning, it's worth mentioning when you order.

i thought it would just be a tiny grocery stop on the way to yosemite, definately not expecting a huge wine room in the back. got a great little deli sandwich and the lady helping us was so nice she actually seemed happy we were there, not just going thru the motions wandered around looking at the chips and the random local honey jars for way longer than i planned, ended up grabbing a local wine i never would have found anywhere else after a whole helpful chat about it honestly it kinda made my whole day, just a total suprise im still thinking about thier olive selection, would go back just for that my only regret is not getting two sandwiches becuase we ate them before we even got back to the cabin

It's a cool building. Great ambience. The bartender is great, and so are the drinks. The food is lacking. The hamburger was tasteless other than the sauce. I would have preferred a burger from In-N-Out. The salmon was bland.

We had an incredible meal and service. The burgers were even better than imagined. Our server shared a few different craft cocktails with us and was very knowledgeable. The mezcal with Campari was shockingly our favorite! We would come back again and refer to many others. Many thanks!
