How we score

The editorial take

Applebee's Grill + Bar runs a straightforward beverage program anchored by cocktails and draft beer. The current highlight is the limited-time $6 Spooky Sips promotion, naming Halloween drinks Tipsy Zombie and Dracula's Juice, both made with Bacardi. Happy hour brings cocktails, draft beer, appetizers, and drink specials, though times vary by location. Non-alcoholic options include mocktails as part of the same Spooky Sips offer. This is a familiar chain bar setup: promotional drinks, cold drafts, and a few non-alcoholic choices.
