Liberty Township, Ohio, is about to get a significant addition to its dining scene with the upcoming launch of Whiskey Yard, a new concept from Epic Brands. Scheduled to open its doors in early February, the venue isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a carefully conceived global bistro designed to offer a distinctly immersive experience centered around expertly crafted cocktails and a remarkable whiskey selection.
A Culinary Journey Around the World
At the heart of Whiskey Yard’s offering is Executive Chef Roberto Castañeda, a culinary veteran with over 30 years of experience across international cuisines. Castañeda, alongside Chef de Cuisine Jonathan Sauer, will be spearheading the menu – a collection of globally inspired small plates and expertly charred meats. The team’s ambition is to present a diverse range of flavors and ingredients, moving beyond traditional American fare.
“We’re aiming for a truly unique dining experience,” explains Sauer. “The focus is on showcasing the potential of fire-driven cooking and blending it with sophisticated global tastes.” The menu will feature both familiar comfort foods reimagined with international twists, alongside more adventurous creations.
More Than Just Whiskey
Of course, no discussion of Whiskey Yard would be complete without addressing its extensive whiskey selection. Patrons will have access to over 200 different whiskeys, catering to a wide spectrum of palates – from novice drinkers exploring the basics to seasoned connoisseurs seeking rare and complex expressions. The “Whiskey Library,” as it’s being called, aims to foster both education and discovery.
Beyond the food and beverage, Whiskey Yard emphasizes the social dining atmosphere. The restaurant’s interior design combines modern luxury with a soulful aesthetic, creating a space conducive to conversation, connection, and shared experiences.
