The editorial take
Whiskey drives the list here. Eight classics, from a Smoked Old Fashioned to a Sazerac and Boulevardier, are built on a staff-picked bourbon or rye of the day and priced 17-18. Wine gets a real fortified wing with Madeira and aged tawny Port pours, and four rotating drafts sit alongside a package list running from local cans to a Belgian quad. Exclusive single-barrel bourbon picks round out the spirits side.
- What should I order?
- Start with a classic from the whiskey-forward section: the Smoked Old Fashioned, built with robusto syrup and block ice, or the Black Manhattan with rye, amaro, and vermouth. Both are priced 18. For a different register, the Port and Madeira 3 oz pours, including Kopke 20 Year Tawny, offer a compact fortified flight.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Whiskey drinkers will find the most to work with, particularly those drawn to single-barrel bourbon picks exclusive to the venue. The fortified wine pours and rotating drafts give non-whiskey drinkers a reason to settle in as well.
- When should I go?
- A natural stop for an evening drink, whether you want a classic cocktail or a measured 3 oz pour of Madeira or tawny Port to close things out.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Classics run 17-18, with prices adjusted by whiskey selection. Package beers are 5-13, white wines 13-16, red Coravine selections 18-20, and Port or Madeira 3 oz pours around 20.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The one-of-a-kind single-barrel bourbon picks are available only here, and the classic cocktails are built on a staff-picked bourbon or rye of the day, tying the cocktail list directly to the whiskey selection.
