The Wilbur Craft Cocktail and Wine Bar
Within the gorgeous facilities of The Roost boutique hotel lies a speakeasy-inspired cocktail and wine bar called The Wilbur.
Named after the man behind the idea of making this establishment into a hotel in Ocean Springs back in 1952,
The Wilbur successfully embodies the establishment’s rich history and local artists’ influence.
From its extensive liquor selection and dinner menu to its cozy interiors, who could resist spending their evening in this well-thought-out bar?
Eat, Drink, Love
In collaboration with the co-owners of The Roost, “Eat Drink Love” catering business owners Lauren Taranto and Seth Braden opened a casual dining restaurant for the hotel guests and for other visitors.
The place offers delicious lunch made from fresh ingredients of the area.
They also offer “take and bake” casseroles—perfect for hot meals minus the “eating-out” worries. Add a salad, soup, and cookies and you have a perfect meal. From scrumptious sandwiches to salads and shareable bites, not one belly will remain hungry.
