About Us

Promotional sign for New Year's Eve at The Island.

Island of Spirits runs a two-sided operation on Route 23 in Oak Ridge, and it does not apologize for it. One door takes you into a proper bar and grill with cold pours and hot plates. The other door opens into a stocked liquor store with hard liquor, wine, beer, and bulk options that actually make sense for your budget. Both sides hum. Both sides deliver.

Reviews keep calling it "a two in one" and that is exactly right. You can hear music drifting through the wall from the bar side while you grab a case of something good. Or you can pull up a stool, eat a real meal, and let the night do its thing. Accessible from both NJ-23 North and South, the location is as practical as the concept.

This is not a novelty act. The pricing is honest, the selection is wide, and the doors open at 11 AM Monday through Saturday and noon on Sunday. It runs all the way to 10 PM every single night. That is the deal. Come get it.

What We Offer

The bar and grill side runs a full kitchen alongside a proper bar setup. Cold drafts, cocktails, and a menu built for real hunger. The kind of place where you can actually eat, not just snack.

Cross over to the liquor store side and you will find a genuinely wide selection: hard liquor, wine, beer by the bottle or the case, and bulk options that reward stocking up. The 4.3-star rating from 130 reviews is not an accident. People come back because the variety is real and the prices do not punish you for showing up.

Open seven days. No gap in the week. Monday through Saturday from 11 AM to 10 PM, Sunday from noon to 10 PM. Whether you need a last-minute bottle or a full sit-down meal, this place covers it without making you drive to two different spots.

"This place used to be great. The beer was cheap and it was always packed. Now they don't want customers passed 9 o'clock. You show up on a Friday at 10 and your meet with awkward stares by the bar tender telling you that last call was already called. This place went to hell."
