Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program leans hard into frozen tropical drinks and hand-made cocktails. The frozen section lists ten named drinks, the signature section twelve, with branded spirits and modifiers throughout. A seven-wine by-the-glass list covers sparkling through red, and six local drafts sit alongside a broad bottle and can selection. The Painkiller has been the frozen flagship since 2017.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Painkiller, Pusser's Original Navy Rum shaken with coconut and pineapple and finished with nutmeg. The Pirate Punch layers Don Q silver rum, Amaretto, Malibu passionfruit and Mango rums, pineapple and orange juice, and a Kraken Dark Rum Float. For something spirit-forward, the Man-O-War Margarita uses Corralejo Reposado with fresh orange and lime and a Cointreau Float.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a long, specific cocktail menu with frozen tropical options and branded spirits. Beer drinkers will find local drafts and a wide bottle and can range. Wine drinkers looking for a modest by-the-glass list covering sparkling, white, rose, and red will be served.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Frozen cocktails run $11 to $15, with house or premium spirit pricing on some. Signature cocktails run $11 to $16. Add-on floats are $3 to $4. Wines by the glass are $8 to $10. Drafts are $8 each, and bottles and cans run $4 to $8.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A frozen cocktail section of ten named drinks backed by a frozen-drink identity the venue dates to 2017. The Painkiller is the flagship, and the program extends to twelve signature cocktails with branded spirits and modifiers.
