Beverage and Cocktail Program

Cocktails

Scarlet Oak Tavern's cocktail menu is innovative, seasonally appropriate, and evolving, utilizing product such as Bancroft Barrel Select Privateer Rum, house made bitters and tinctures, and lesser known artisanal spirits. With an emphasis on house originals and classics prepared as they were meant to be, the beverage program is updated frequently, but retains the highest level of standards using the highest quality of spirits and utilizing proper technique. We strive to provide an experience where food, wine, and cocktails all intertwine to invoke a truly remarkable dining experience.

Wines

At Scarlet Oak Tavern we believe that wine should be considered a regular part of every meal, and that a wine list should not be pretentious or inaccessible to anyone. Subsequently our wines are all carefully chosen to provide both quality and an excellent pairing for Chef’s food. The wine list maintains its own set of core values, and all the wines fall into at least three of these categories to even be considered.

Incredibly quality
Small production or family owned
Innovative find

Structured perfectly for food
Surprising value
Special connection to our team

Every wine on our list has been tasted, and as we continue to rotate the wines with the season and vintage changes, any and all wines will be reviewed before being presented to our guests. In the meantime, we will continue to strive to find new wines that can’t be found in local restaurants in order to provide our guests with an interesting, innovative, food-based wine list that is worth coming back to explore.

The first wedding at The Barn at Gibbet Hill took place in 2002 when Jed and Asia’s fantastic outdoor wedding plans got rained out. Back then the Barn was completely unrenovated – hay bales were moved to the edge of the room and the tractor had to be parked outside so a makeshift wedding aisle could be made. After witnessing the undeniable magic of that day, the idea to transform the Barn into a permanent wedding venue began to take hold. Two years later, after a massive renovation of the Barn was completed, The Barn at Gibbet Hill officially opened for business. And two years after that, CBS-4 crowned the Barn at Gibbet Hill the best wedding venue in the Boston Area! The Barn can hold up to 224 people with a dance floor. There is an outside, heated deck with a permanent roof over it that is used for cocktail receptions.

The Barn
The Barn at Gibbet Hill is a turn-of-the-century barn, renovated for special events. Described as rustic, charming, romantic, intimate, and classic, The Barn can seat up to 224 with a dance floor.
Lawn Ceremonies
Weather permitting, ceremonies may be held on the lawn in front of The Barn. Enjoy rolling hills and grazing cattle to complement your rustic barn wedding.
Deck
A comfortable setting for your cocktail hour and enjoy all of Gibbet Hill's beautiful surroundings. The deck is used year round, featuring clear siding that can be rolled up on seasonable days or left down in cooler or inclement weather.
Top of the Hill
For couples whose weddings fall between mid-June and mid-October, we offer the option of having your ceremony at the top of Gibbet Hill. This is an exclusive ceremony location, limited to 4 per year. Your guests will be driven to the top of the hill in SUVs and your ceremony will be set in the ivy-covered ruins of Bancroft’s castle. Grassy fields overlooking the town and beyond are available for your photographs and guests’ exploration.
