Questions
Frequently asked.
Do I need a reservation?
Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends, but walk-ins are always welcome at the bar. The private snug should be reserved ahead.
Is there an age limit?
Yes — Ember & Oak is 21+ at all times and a valid ID is required for entry.
Can I smoke a cigar inside?
Yes. We operate as a dedicated cigar lounge with a walk-in humidor; cigars chosen on-site may be enjoyed in the room. (Local ordinance to confirm.)
Do I need to know whisky?
Never. Tell our staff what flavors you like and we'll guide you — or start you on a three-pour flight. Expertise without the snobbery.
What should I wear?
Smart-casual. Dress as you would for a nice dinner; please skip athletic and beachwear. (Confirm policy.)
How does membership work?
Three tiers add member pricing, priority reservations and — for The Cask and The Cellar — a private cigar locker. See the membership page.
Can you host a private event?
Yes — guided tastings, the private snug, and full buyouts for client dinners, celebrations and corporate evenings. See private events.
Where do I park?
Valet and nearby garages serve the Coral Gables location. (Confirm details.)
