At the Winston, you’ll find more than 100
different whiskies and bourbons to tempt your
palate, along with an extensive craft cocktail
selection and wine on draft. The whisky
selection is unmatched in the Oklahoma City
metro area, with offerings ranging from the
most popular to the most rare varieties. A crowd
favorite in the cocktail category is the Frozen
Watermelon Fresca, consisting of fresh watermelon,
champagne, fresh lemon and ginger.
To go along with your drinks, the Winston provides a casual
dining experience, with an eclectic menu of tasty items which
can be enjoyed indoors or on an outdoor patio. You may want
to check out $2 Tuesdays, as well.
Another special touch you’ll find at The Winston is its old-
fashioned record player. It’s in use most days, including all day
Sunday, and patrons are encouraged to bring their own records
to play.
“The Winston is a fun, energetic restaurant,” said Taylor
Summer, communications coordinator with Hal Smith
Restaurants. “It’s a great place to enjoy great food and cocktails
with family and friends.”

A house divided against itself cannot stand, but a divided
restaurant is another matter entirely. At Press & Plow, you’ll
find two halves that combine to make a delightful experience of
drinking, dining and spirit shopping.
On the “press” side is a wine and spirits shop, with an
emphasis on the wine. With an old-fashioned wine press located
next to the door and bottles from around the world on display,
the building creates the feel of a modern-day wine cellar. It
carries every type of wine imaginable, including rare vintages
stored in a temperature-controlled room, along with mixers,
high-end whiskies and cigars to complete the experience.
The “plow” half, meanwhile, is devoted to a coffee house and
bar, where you can have coffee and cocktails, plus purchase
non-alcoholic products. Among them are sandwiches, cheeses,
meats, pastas and more. The items are stored on shelves
opposite the bar, so shoppers can browse without disturbing
customers. The idea, the owners say, is to create a “grab and
go” environment where people can shop for dinner ingredients
or other ideas after enjoying their beverage of choice.
Located at 2596 W. Tecumseh Road, the
restaurant is open from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
seven-days-a-week, as well as for private
meetings or get-togethers. More information
is available on Press & Plow’s website,
www.pressandplow.com, Facebook @
pressandplow or by calling 405-928-4006.
