Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program leans on a rotating seasonal cocktail promotion and a happy hour that bundles cocktails, draft beer, and appetizers. Named Halloween drinks Tipsy Zombie and Dracula's Juice appear in promotional images with BACARDÍ branding, and the $6 Spooky Sips offer also extends to mocktails. Draft beer is poured cold, and nonalcoholic options are part of the happy hour mix. A recent customer described an alcoholic iced tea as balanced, with noticeable but not overpowering alcohol.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Long Iced Beach Tea, an alcoholic iced tea a customer described as balanced with noticeable but not overpowering alcohol. If the seasonal promotion is running, the Tipsy Zombie or Dracula's Juice are the named Halloween cocktails to consider.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- People looking for a casual happy hour with cocktails, draft beer, and appetizers will find a straightforward fit. Those drawn to seasonal, limited-time drinks or a lower-proof mocktail option will also find something relevant in the rotating promotion.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the clear occasion, with cocktails, draft beer, and appetizers promoted together. The seasonal Halloween promotion is a limited-time window for the named Spooky Sips drinks.
- What should I expect to spend?
- The seasonal Spooky Sips cocktails and mocktails are promoted at $6 during their limited run. Happy hour covers cocktails, draft beer, and appetizers, though no other beverage prices are listed.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The program ties branded spirits to named seasonal cocktails and extends the same $6 Halloween promotion to mocktails, giving both drinkers and non-drinkers a specific limited-time option. That seasonal cocktail-and-mocktail pairing is the clearest point of distinction.
