Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
99 Restaurants runs a beverage program with unusual breadth for its format: nine named cocktails built on branded spirits like Tito's, Lawley's, and Minden Mill; twelve named wines across white, sparkling, rosé, and red; a beer list with Crafts & Imports, American Favorites, and Beyond Beer; and a zero-proof section with three mocktails. The exclusive Horseshoe Ale, brewed by Harpoon, and the Quartino wine format give the list specific points of interest beyond the standard chain template.
- What should I order?
