Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Acre runs a beverage program with separate menus for cocktails, wine, beer, spirits, and non-alcoholic options. Cocktails span shaken and stirred classics and prohibition-style drinks, including the Call Me Old Fashioned with hamfat bourbon and the Filthy Acre Martini with Ketel One vodka. The wine list moves from by-the-glass pours to Coravin, half bottles, and a reserve list with Old and New World selections. Local and regional draught beers sit alongside craft cans, while zero-proof cocktails and non-alcoholic beers round out the choices.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Call Me Old Fashioned, built on hamfat bourbon with cherry juice and orange bitters, or the Filthy Acre Martini with smoked Castelvetrano olives. For wine, the Châteauneuf-du-Pape Clos Du Mont-Olivet Coravin pour offers a single-glass look at the reserve side. If you want something zero-proof, the Garden Refresher or Aubie Palmer are house-made options.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone seeking a full spread of beverage choices—cocktails, wine by the glass or bottle, local draught beer, spirits pours, and zero-proof drinks—will find Acre accommodating. Groups with mixed preferences can order across separate menus without compromise.
- When should I go?
- Acre suits a meal where the beverage list matters as much as the food, whether you are choosing a cocktail to start, a Coravin pour with dinner, or a zero-proof option alongside the table.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails are $13–$16, with zero-proof versions at $6–$7. By-the-glass wines run $12–$18, Coravin pours $21–$30, and half bottles from around $62. Draught beer is $7–$12, packaged beer $8. Spirits pours range from $11 for gin to $39 for reserve rye.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Acre separates its beverage program into distinct menus and supports multiple service formats: cocktails with house infusions, wine by the glass, Coravin, half bottle, and reserve list, local draught beer, and a spirits list with reserve and standard tiers. The zero-proof cocktail section mirrors the full-ABV list with named, house-made options.
