The editorial take
The cocktail list is the reason to come: 14 original drinks on the Summer 2026 menu, priced $12-$16, alongside a dinner and brunch roster that runs from Ruby Soho to spritz variations and a Bloody Mary. A monthly Cocktails For A Cause features a bartender-curated signature, with a portion of sales going to a featured non-profit. Wine, Colorado beer, and a full non-alcoholic spread fill out the rest.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Summer Fling, a tequila drink with passionfruit, pineapple, mango, Tajín, lime, and soda. Ruby Soho, with vodka, aperitivo, elderflower, lime, grapefruit, and soda, is the other recurring signature across dinner and brunch. For something quieter, Keep It Quiet mixes mezcal, lime bitters, and black lager syrup.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a long, authored cocktail list with clearly named ingredients and prices, plus a rotating monthly signature, will find the most to work with. Wine, local beer, and coffee and tea options mean a group with mixed preferences can settle in without anyone defaulting to water.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour drink specials are offered, and on Thursdays they run all night. Brunch brings its own signature list and a bottomless mimosa option, while dinner carries the signature cocktails and the wine and beer selections.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Summer 2026 original cocktails are $12-$16; dinner signatures are $13-$14 and brunch signatures $12-$14, with bottomless mimosa at $24 or $10. Wine runs $10-$15 by the glass and $32-$46 by the bottle. Beers are $7-$8, and non-alcoholic beer is $7, with coffee and tea at $3-$6.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail menu pairs some drinks with music, and the monthly Cocktails For A Cause gives one bartender-curated signature a rotating spot while directing a portion of its sales to a featured non-profit. The August edition was the Palisade Spritz.
