Touring Prince Edward County? Old Salt is your perfect stop for cocktails,] and afternoon snacks, right in the heart of the wine route. We're located 25 minutes from Sandbanks provincial park, and 10 minutes from Wellington. Stick around and play some of our lawn games, cocktail in hand!
A great little spot in PEC! A nice break from wineries, with great cocktails and hotdogs. There’s tons of lawn games and tons of outdoor seating - definitely worth a stop!
Great experience. Host/bartender was great, very talkative and friendly. Lots to do for kids or adults while waiting, like giant battleship and Jenga. Great sausages.
Tried this spot on the weekend! Has an outdoor space with picnic tables, muskoka chairs, and lawn games. Tried few cocktails and local beers. The cocktails were really tasty, didn’t end up trying the food but will definetly be back to test out the menu!
Good reviews led us here and a great experience led me to add another review! Lots of games (big battleship, cornhole, connect 4, jenga to name a few) and sweet fake cacti to place your drinks on. Great gourmet sausages and cocktails. Pictured is the huli huli dog along with cocktails named flight path and the gin gin mule. Also had the aperol betty and a sunday service (my fave)
we just stumble across this, & wow Hawaiian feels in the middle of nowhere! They have gourmet hotdogs & cocktails! Awesome spot, nice space & good vibes! must try Rueben & Nacho dog! as pictured.
Fun time this afternoon at the Old Salt Cocktails! The bartender was friendly and hardworking. Drinks were tasty and the Pig Mac was a great snack / lunch in between vineyards. Would recommend.
Good friends with endless talent for not only crafting cocktails and good dogs but business, craftmansship (yes they did build all those games), horticulture - making all syrups and growing all the herbs themselves, and so much more. Old Salt is such a unique stop for your @Prince Edward County Tour! Say hi to David and Maggie while you are there!
We just stumbled across this, and what a find! We were wine tasting so didn’t check out the cocktails but the gourmet hot dogs are amazing. The Ruben was very tasty as was the Huli Huli with a roasted pineapple salsa. Very nice non-alcoholic drinks. Great picnic area with lawn games and a funky, fun atmosphere, make it a great destination by itself as well as a nice break from a wine tasting day.
Amazing place to extend or spend vacations! Great cocktails and hot-dogs. You have to stop here!
Unique and cool spot! We were warmly greeted and really enjoyed our drinks and gourmet hot dogs. Kid-friendliness: Fun lawn games
Absolutely incredible spot. Food and drinks were both out. Of. This. World. Needs to be talked about more in the Wellington area. Had to scroll through all of the reviews to see what kind of mouth-breather didnt rate them 5 stars - this place is that good - theres no reason not to rate 5.
Wow, great spot, lots of outdoor games, food is awesome and great selection of cocktails. Super friendly service!
Awesome bar run by Awesome people. Honi Honi and Sunday Service are our go to cocktails. Do not miss this place if you are in the County. Wine is overrated.
The design environment is well curated. We played games while drinking a nice drink. The owners are very welcoming !
My new favourite spot in PEC. Tasty cocktails, chill atmosphere with a bunch of lawn games.
Energetic and very knowledgeable staff that anybody can tell absolutely enjoy everything that they do. I happened to show up behind a jack, and Jill group that didnt seem to get out much....but the service they were given, including the speed and flair was amazing. I would highly recommend..
Great drinks and hot dogs!
So many fun games and the hot dogs were bomb!
Great place to stop on the wine tour routes.. Fresh cocktails.. Great service . Fun games... We will be back
Literally the best dog I ve ever shoved in my face. Loved the soft delicious buns. Sausage was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Service was great. Location perfect. Cocktails were great. Cleanest porta potty I ve ever seen. Super cool vibe. Go here!!! 5 stars.
Nice place for a cocktail and a hot dog.
Wonderful lunchtime visit. Amazing gin gin mule cocktail - highly recommended! Hot dog was an amazing meal for what one thought it was going to be. Perhaps the gin gin mule helped?? Hic . again highly recommended. Wonderful outdoor setting with difficult beanbag game - made more difficult from the gin gin mule cocktail(s?) . well worth the visit! Parking: Parking on grounds. Free but shade is random due to moving sun! Owner confessed they were still working on this .. Kid-friendliness: Totally child-friendly. Wheelchair accessibility: Totally wheelchair user friendly.
Certes, les cocktails sont plus que délicieux, mais ils sont confectionnés par un propriétaire franchement sympathique et accommodant. (Nous avions oublié une casquette précieuse à notre fils et il a pris le temps de nous contacter et de nous accueillir un peu avant l ouverture pour nous la rendre!) Des tonnes de jeux pour tout âge vous attendent également. Merci!
Clearly 5 stars all around for food service and atmosphere. The hotdogs were amazing and varied, drinks are inventive and summery and the atmosphere is awesome. Beautiful garden with games around the yard.
Outstanding cocktails, very kind and fun staff! Loads of lawn games, what a hidden gem!!
An amazing oasis in the middle of farm country drinks were awesome and the service was on point , the bartender made us feel like we had spent tens of thousands of dollars when we merely had drinks and food I will go again and highly recommend it
This place was an awesome stop! Everything from the service, to the games, to the cocktails were great!
We visited Old Salt Cocktails at the Grange on our recent trip to PEC and absolutely loved the cocktails and sausages (that Huli Huli sausage was to die for...we ended up ordering seconds). A great experience that is definitely worth checking out when visiting the area.
Fantastic venue and friendly staff. I recommend it for those two attributes as well as for the cocktails. I gave it a 3 because Im a beer guy and not only is their selection of beers quite limited, they charge $9 a beer and you dont even get an entire 355ml (small can) worth of beer. They pour a portion of the can into a small glass. Not sure what they do with the leftovers in the can but for $9 it should be going in my belly!
There is a reason this place has such a high rating. It is such a unique little spot in the midst of all the other wineries. Great menu of both drinks and food. Beautiful gardens and fun games for everyone to play. Would recommend.
Cute outdoor space with great drinks, food and friendly staff!
Absolutely wonderful place,great atmosphere,great people,great hotdogs and drinks,would highly recommend.
We did not try the food but the drinks were delicious. Cute spot to stop and relax with lots of lawn games and shady areas. We stopped here after our bike wine tour to cool down
Great cocktails and mocktails! They also have sausages and they were incredible! Cute little outdoor space with games and different outdoor seating arrangements
Stunning! The owner and his partner are super nice! The drinks are wonderful, especially the gin mule. The hot dogs are delicious. Perfect for the family, you can play several giant games (battleship, connect4). I highly suggest it!
Amazing service and food. A welcome change from the typical delivery service types from the wineries.
Cool little outdoor cocktail lounge. Not like anything Ive had the pleasure of visiting before! We had cocktails only. Champion mixologist. Make it a stop while traveling around the County!
Really awesome use of this space. A nice little change of scenery from wineries for lawn games, cocktails and gourmet hotdogs. The hospitality from the team there is awesome, definitely worth making a stop in for.
With the children after a day in the sun, we took the wine route. We were looking for a family place and by chance we found the Old Salt cocktail. We played Battleship in giant format which allowed me to practice my first borns mathematical skills while my partner drank an excellent cocktail. My only regret is not having tried the hot dogs because we were between two meals. So go there for supper or dinner. I like hot dogs. And the Cactus for holding cocktails is pure genius. I am importing the concept to Quebec.
Great cocktail! Pig Mac was also very good and love the yard games. Must visit!
An atmosphere combining unique yard games, a variety of cocktails and delicious sausages. I had the Na cho Dog with a Melon Lime Soda and we enjoyed a game of giant KerPlunk! The owners were very friendly and passionate about creating the best experience!
Great drinks, and cool yard games setup
Super fun, very chill spot!
I do love wine, but this was such a welcome stop in our afternoon of wine touring. The cocktails are creative, the service was fantastic, the vibe is amazing, and the hot dogs were delicious!!
Fun outdoor spot for cocktails and amped up hot dogs! Also cute that they have some lawn games, like bean bag toss. Dog-friendly!
We had an incredible time at Old Salt. David took great care of us. The space is comfortable and relaxed. The cocktails were delicious.
Aperol Betty was a hit, the hot dogs were AWESOME. Beyond sausage and bahn mi was an awesome combo and recommend the pork Ruben. VIBES
Delicious cocktails and fancy hot dogs. Cool vibe with different lawn games.
Incredible cocktails that are well balanced and flavourful. My favourite is the Sunday Service. Hot dogs are fantastic as well. Service is personalized and friendly with a lots of laughs. Recommend for anyone that loves cocktails or a spot to grab a quick bite while wine touring.
I stopped in at Old Salt on a hot day while touring The County. My husband and I had enjoyed cocktails at their previous location so I was excited to see their new place. They have lots of different activities to enjoy, a great garden and spots to sit both in the sun and in the shade. I enjoyed their melon ball drink . Tasty and refreshing, but be warned the liquor soaked melon ball packs a punch! Had a lovely chat with one of the owners while I sipped my cocktail. A delightful detour!
Parking: Lots of nice parking. Food
What a fun experience with lots of games for kids and family. This whole place felt like I was back in Hawaii. Had some excellent iced coffee that looked like a pineapple drink and melon lime ball cocktail. The hot dogs were pretty decent - the banh me, no banh you was the best. Would definitely come here again with the kiddos.
This is such a hidden gem and needs to be talked about more. I had the flight path cocktail was the right amount of sweetness and alcohol. The atmosphere was very neat and relaxing. Love the vibe here.
Amazing food @ cocktails, all thumbs up
Friendly staff, cool place, food and drinks
What a gem! We arrived after a day of wine tasting, very keen to have some non-wine-based beverages, right before a heavy rainstorm and enjoyed some very tasty and well-made cocktails in a beautifully designed outdoor space. Highly recommend.
Old Salt Cocktails has a great vibe about. You hear music gently playing in the background as you are enjoying the unique scenery and sipping on a very enjoyable cocktail. David and his staff are friendly and knowledgeable. You feel like you just made a new friend. Old Salt is definitely a destination to take a break from the wineries, kick back and enjoy. Family friendly with a selection of games. Offering non alcoholic choices, sausages and hot dogs as well. Absolutely a repeat destination.
We absolutely loved this place! The drinks were so unique and refreshing! The dogs were so delicious and fully loaded with toppings! Highly recommended stopping here and relaxing , lots of games and different seating options. The owners were fabulous, very friendly and knowledgeable on the drinks they were serving!
After all day riding we stopped for an amazing lemonade. It is a must!!
Absolutely obsessed with this spot. From the unique cocktails, to the great service and amazing atmosphere, I don t have enough good things to say! Definitely a seasonal business though so try it out while you can!
Awesome drinks and staff! The barmaid is a gem
Our experience was above and beyond our expectations!!! Very friendly service the cocktails and dogs were amazing. If u find your self in the county definitely try old salts!!! A fantastic place . Thank you so much!!!!
Great cocktails and dogs. Fun games.
Okayyyyy This was a great experience - Its entirely outdoors with a cute tiki vibe along with outdoor games (mainly cornhole) Sausages a must try along with the cocktails We personally went for the Rum and Gin cocktails and were not disappointed
We went here for drinks for my fiances birthday and the service was above and beyond! Very friendly staff and the cocktails were delicious! Exactly what we were hoping for, will definitely be back.
What a great experience, delicious food and cocktails in a super fun atmosphere.
This place was amazing, great cocktails and hot dogs. The service was amazing. Its a must visit in the county.
Perfect vibe and good food.
The vibe was right, but was not sure how good the cocktails would be. Well I found out...they are
Great drinks, great food, great games, great vibe overall. Dog friendly as well. Highly recommend!
If we could give a 10 star review we would. Dave was amazing and so informative. We travel PEC once a year and we will be back next year for sure. If you haven t tried the Hoti Hoti run don t walk and treat yourself.
This spot is only open a few months in the year, and its a must visit! What a great stop for cocktails, schedule a tasting ahead of time (24h) if you can. And come with your appetite for one of their smoked beef hotdogs! David was so generous with his time to chat with us through his cocktail creations, we had such a wonderful time. Cant wait to return!
We stop for some cocktails and dogs. Everything is just
Super delicious place for creative sausages and cocktails, great for a lunch or a snack between wineries. Not to mention, theyre located by The Grange of Prince Edward, my favourite winery in the area!
Old Salt Cocktails delivered the most incredible cocktails and ambience for my parents 60th bday party. They came and set up by the barn, and every single guest raved about the tailor-made experience! Go visit them, hire them for your event - you will fall in love.
Wow ! Located so close to the north end of the island and right in the heart of a lot of wineries. But I heard this year Old Salt is doing wine tastings from south end of the county at your new location on Closson Rd right across from where you were. Can t wait! Visited last year, a delicious Sunday Service cocktail was my favourite. The huge sausage and a picnic table is so my kind of summer day. See you soon.
Amazing cocktails and fun staff! What a nice surprise when we were getting a bit wined out. And thank god for the fun and delicious hot dogs!
Old Salt is one of our must do s when we re in the County. Inventive cocktails (a great treat when the wine tastings are too much) and mocktails, killer vibes, and OMG the dogs the Huli Huli and Pig Mac are next level. An idyllic setting. And salt of the earth owners. Seriously folks just go!
The new space for Old Salt is awesome - lots of seating and entertainment (corn hole, giant jenga, etc). The cocktails and the hot dogs were delicious. David and Maggie were great to talk to. Will definitely be back!
The DELICIOUS cocktails are a breath of fresh air on the densest strip of wineries in the county. The hotdogs are the perfect bite to fuel your tour. Dont miss this stop!
Had a fantastic time this afternoon at this just discovered by me establishment! Can t say enough how great the drinks and service were. Had to wait in line but the company was fantastic. Fellow clientele were a riot had so many great chats while waiting to order yet another yummy cocktail! Hands down I ll be back. I m already planning which of my summertime guests to bring to Old Salt Cocktails. It s refreshing to partake in something other than wine .thank you Dave and Maggie for doing what you do!
fantastic place, really impressed with their cocktails and the friendliness of their bartender Zach! Excited to come back.
Out of this world drinks would recommend anybody.
Delicious cocktails, very friendly staff and amazing location.
Old Salt was not on our list of places to go, but we passed by, read the signs (hot dogs + cocktails), slammed on the breaks, and did a U-turn. 2 hours later and here are three reasons why you absolutely need to add Old Salt to your tour: 1. The best service weve had, possibly ever. When we approached the bar, we were greeted with the friendliest welcome, that led into an awesome banter about the cocktail menu, the history of the cocktails, and the background of how the owners grew the business from a mobile pop-up to their dream business. Because of how much fun we were having, we stuck around for the around the world wine tasting (which entirely blew us away). The tour included a back and forth between Canadian and International grapes which left us with a newfound appreciation for Canadian wines. The servers wine knowledge was impressive and included information on the local climate and vineyards. Not too mention how damn charming the owners are. The love for their craft was self-evident and made it an absolute joy to speak with them. 2. Food & Drink was 10/10 We sampled a few cocktails, all the wine, and a couple of the bougie hot dogs and everything was over-the-top awesome. Mezcal + smoked sea salt cocktails, fried onion + chimichurri sauce, and the best Chardonnay (who knew I liked Chardonnay?). We ordered double than what we intended but it was worth every bit. 3. Games, games, games. With so many wineries in the area, you can get bored pretty quick of sitting and sipping. Luckily Old Salt had a bunch of stuff to do. We played a few rounds of cornhole, there was a massive Jenga game, and other outdoor activities to keep the energy high while we took in the surrounding greenspace. Bottom line - go here and thank me later.
Quite a unique experience in the county, amazing cocktails alongside above and beyond service, can t wait for the them to expand! Had a great time playing giant Jenga!
We stopped off at Old Salt on a recommendation from another winery and were not disappointed! The atmosphere they ve created is great with lawn games & picnic tables spread across the lot, and they have a good selection of cocktails and snacks available. Service was very personable & friendly as well! We will definitely be back on our next visit to the county, thank you!
A real gem in the county. Old Salt is a great place to stop for amazing cocktails and really creative sausages. We will be back for another visit.
Great unique place in the middle of wine country. Highly recommend
We went yesterday, well go back later, my favorite spot of our week in PEC
This is a must stop. A tight list of quality cocktail choices worth trying and so delicious! The owner is incredibly friendly. If you arent a fan of cocktails, the hot dogs are still worth going to visit for. Its all outside so plan accordingly! Vegetarian options: Vegetarian hot dog Parking: Lots of parking
Great location, ambiance, outdoor decor, fantastic drinks, amazing host and great dogs! I highly recommend this stop.
The atmosphere and staff where amazing and friendly but the drink we both had the Melon Lime Soda was not good.
Beautiful location! The owners were accommodating and knowledgeable with my g/f questions. Delicious drinks and dogs! Very impressed and will be back!
High-quality ingredients and even better quality service? From a trailer bar on a farm?!? Colour me impressed. 100/10 would recommend!
Old Salt was the best part of our trip to PEC. Maggie and David were incredible hosts for our visit. We did the PEC vs the World Tasting and Maggie was so knowledgable and passionate about the wines chosen. All of the wines were sustainable in some way and were available for purchase. Maggie even delivered wine to our hotel! The cocktails were fantastic and the staff were friendly and approachable. There are games to play like life size Jenga, Corn Hole, and Scrabble. There are patio tables with umbrellas and super clean Port o Potties for washrooms. There are delicious hotdogs and sausages available with awesome toppings as well as vegan options. We had the most magical afternoon here and we will definitely be returning as soon as possible. We were there for a bachelorette party but this is a wonderful place to visit with a partner, a family, or a trip with friends.
Was on a self-guided biking winery adventure with friends and did not plan to visit here, but we all saw the Drinks and Dogs sign, so we had to stop to check it out. The people running this place have a GREAT vibe; so welcoming, down-to-earth, and clearly care about what they do. Cocktails and food were great, we actually stopped by the following day on our way out of PEC. I personally did the wine tasting and it was one of the most informative tastings Ive ever done. Loved that they focused on finding wineries with sustainable efforts in their wine production. The tastings were all delicious (and were great pours!). I highly recommend people stop by here if theyre in the area!
A couple cocktails on a hot summer day
Cocktails are great! And the hot dogs even better. What a hidden gem
This hidden gem is such a vibe.the cocktails are fantastic, the hot dogs are gourmet and the owners are the loveliest.
Amazing place with awesome drinks and lovely guardens!
Friendly service and beautiful outdoor space to have drinks and play games!
Customer service was excellent. It s a cute spot and I would definitely come back. I also love the games they have. Drinks are great. We did try the sausages and those were a bit of a miss for us but I would come back for drinks.
Drinks are super refreshing and always interesting. Ive tried all the drinks on the menu and all of them were great. The hotdogs are also fantastic, just to finish it off.
Amazing cocktails, owners, and staff. The food is also delicious!! Definitely a place you need to visit.
These guys are the absolute best! Amazing cocktails, dogs and people. They hosted a Bachelorette party for us and we couldn t have asked for a better experience. Thank you Old Salt! We love you!!!
Genuine people doing amazing things. The work they put into each of their offerings is unbelievable. Very thoughtful team pushing hugh quality. Must visit.
Awesome spot that you must check out in PEC! Such a fun vibe and atmosphere. Cocktails and hot dogs are both yummy - good variety too. Owners were lovely to speak with .:)
Super nice place! !!!
Great place if you re sort of drunk, need some food but don t want something mega glam & in town, and also want to keep the good times going. Everything is environmentally conscious & either recyclable or compostable (things I appreciate but don t pay attention too when I m cocktailing). Fun games too! Just a great atmosphere with tasty dogs.
Excellent drinks, very nice area outside and super friendly staff! Definitely worth the drive.
In the area? Stop here! Great vibes. Yard games. Awesome drinks. An oasis nestled around the wineries, and open a bit later.
Incredible cocktails, veg sausages and venue!
Amazing place and super friendly staff!
What a fun place ! The barman was warm and welcoming. We enjoyed chatting with him while he made our cocktails which were really good!. The gourmet dogs were also really good with interesting toppings. Overall, we were really glad to stop here for a bite during our day of wine tasting! Will recommend it to friends and family!
This was on our top of our list and first stop while in the County. The weather was fantastic and the crowd was fun with different areas to sit and have a drink and dog. It was busy time and glad to see a lot of bachelorette parties throughout the day. We placed our drink and food order together. You get your drinks and find a place to sit. The drinks were amazing and we all tried different sausages combos. I will attach menu for reference. The owners are great entrepreneurs and were able to pivot and provide a great customer journey. Great job!!
Super friendly bar tenders, great cocktails and AMAZING hot dogs means we didnt just visit this place once, but twice during our weekend stay! Will definitely come back the next time we visit!
I ve been here a few times and it s always one of my favourite stops on our tours on PEC. The cocktails are great and they have games that you can also play!
Very cute place and drinks were amazing! I also got a hot dog which was a perfect size to hold me over before dinner
Love, love, love this idea. A creative cocktail bar in the middle of a field in wine country. After a day of wine tasting, this is a fun, fresh stop. The bartender clearly takes great pride in his craft. Expertly conceptualized and crafted cocktails. Real ingredients. No bar mix here! No one makes cocktails like this, this place is an homage to the cocktails of old, with a modern twist. Super friendly and engaging staff. Delicious dogs. Try the Reuben dog. Beautiful, relaxing spot with ample parking. So glad that someone had the vision and creativity to make this happen. Please come back next year. And please get on TripAdvisor so I can review there too!
Brilliantly done. Great food, wonderful cocktails, warm, friendly staff. A great vibe all round.
Nice place, nice people, great hot dogs!
Awesome people, food, and beverages. Absolutely worth a stop on your wine adventures!!!
Amazing place, really good guys, check them out!
This was such a fun spot to discover! The cocktails were amazing and such friendly service. Highly recommend!
A unique place providing cocktails and great food
Outstanding! David is super charming and cocktails are on point. The setup is very cool and unique. Cant wait to go back!
Cute little pop up that serves high end cocktails out of their trailer. We had their Venetian Spritz when we were visiting Grange winery. It is made right in front of you in a few minutes. Really good.
Love this place! It has quickly become my favourite summer spot. The location is beautiful, the cocktails are delicious and well crafted, and the staff are pros.
David and his team provided full bar service at our wedding in PEC last fall. From our first meeting, David went above and beyond with his guidance and thoughtful recommendations. Our guests raved about their cocktails and wine selection (curated by David) and also the high-level of customer service that was provided. Old Salt exceeded all of our expectations and helped to make for an unforgettable wedding day. We would certainly recommend Old Salt for any event. Thank you David & team!
Amazing drinks and the sausages...unbelievably yummy!!!
Worth the long weekend wait
The drinks and sausages were awesome!
This is not a regular bar cart - this is an experience. We hired David/Old Salt Cocktails to be our bar for our wedding in Prince Edward County and to this day, 12 months after, we are getting comments about the mind-blowing experience our guests had with our bar. If you are looking for an elevated bar experience, no one Ive encountered does it better than Old Salt. First of all, David understands flavour profiles and subtleties in crafting the sort of drinks that you just dont want to down; ones youd want to savour instead (and then have 3 more...). He crafted cocktails, curated a wine list, and carefully selected glassware all for our event. To help build the ambiance of our wedding, we wanted him to serve Arabic Coffee and dates at the start of our ceremony as a nod to my husbands culture. He was so enthusiastic at the thought of doing this for us and spent so much time researching the traditional way of brewing arabic coffee. Talk about going above and beyond our expectations. Apart from this, David himself is a gem to work with. It is very rare to find a warm, conscientious, and wordly individual in this type of business. He and his staff at Old Salt check all the boxes. From this experience, youre bound to make a friend youd want to hold on to forever. Since then, weve seen him twice at his pop-up at the Grange Winery in PEC. Everything he does is just fabulous! Dont think. Just book.
Delicious and creative cocktails and hot dogs. Had a hard time deciding what to get, so I got two and I do NOT regret it. Thank you!
This past summer, my husband and I, celebrated our 60th birthdays with a rollicking barn dance. Old Salt Cocktails created a libation menu of superbly delicious, custom-crafted beautiful cocktails that were enjoyed by all our guests. The exquisitely decorated, mobile bar is a classy addition to any festivity and a unique backdrop for the impeccable, professional, and gracious service provided.
Amazing event idea for all event planners! This sweetly decorated Mobile bar comes to you! What a sweet and unique idea for your next project. Branding is spot on for any upscale event in the county.
