Oak & Iron Brings Bold Flavor and Honky Tonk Vibes to Downtown Jackson

Jackson’s culinary scene is about to get a major upgrade. Opening October 17, 2025, Oak & Iron is the newest restaurant to take root in the historic building at 151 W. Michigan Avenue—a space that’s seen everything from department stores to fine dining over the past century.

A Menu That Travels the Globe

Co-owners Roberta Dalenberg and Nick Dyc are serving up a globally inspired menu that’s anything but ordinary. Think bold flavors, generous portions, and dishes that spark curiosity. Whether you’re craving comfort food or something adventurous, Oak & Iron promises a plate worth talking about.

Upstairs Honky Tonk Bar Opens Halloween

Just two weeks after the restaurant launch, Oak & Iron will unveil its third-floor honky tonk bar on October 31. Expect country vibes, live music, and a lively atmosphere that adds a whole new beat to Jackson’s nightlife.

A Building with Stories

The location itself is steeped in Jackson history. Built in 1885, it’s housed everything from Otello’s to Daryl’s Downtown and Veritas. Oak & Iron honors that legacy while bringing fresh energy to the space.

Launching During Restaurant Week

Oak & Iron’s debut aligns with Jackson County Restaurant Week (November 10–16), a celebration of comfort food and local flavor. It’s the perfect time to explore what this new spot has to offer.

Whether you’re a longtime local or just passing through, Oak & Iron is shaping up to be a must-visit destination. With its ambitious menu and honky tonk flair, it’s more than a restaurant—it’s a new chapter in Jackson’s downtown revival.
