Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program leans on a current Halloween promotion: NEW $6 Spooky Sips cocktails and mocktails, dine-in only. Named drinks include the NEW TIPSY ZOMBIE and NEW DRACULA'S JUICE, both with BACARDÍ callouts, and imagery lists CUERVO TRADICIONAL 100% DE AGAVE. Draft beer is served in a special 20-oz Brewtus glass, and the tap selection rotates. A recent customer account describes the margaritas as good and priced at one dollar.
- What should I order?
- Order from the current Spooky Sips lineup if it is available at this location: the NEW TIPSY ZOMBIE or NEW DRACULA'S JUICE, both listed with BACARDÍ callouts. For a nonalcoholic option, the Spooky Sips promotion also includes mocktails at $6, dine-in only. Draft beer is served in a special 20-oz Brewtus glass, and the rotating tap selection is worth asking about.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Guests looking for a current seasonal cocktail promotion with named drinks and branded spirit callouts will find the Spooky Sips lineup relevant. Those who want a draft beer in a 20-oz Brewtus glass or a rotating tap option also have a clear path. The mocktail side of the promotion gives non-drinkers a specific $6 choice rather than a generic alternative.
- When should I go?
- The Spooky Sips promotion is a current seasonal offering, so it is tied to the Halloween period and is dine-in only. Participation and selection vary by location, so the specific drinks may not be available at every visit. Beyond that, the rotating drink menu and rotating tap selection are ongoing features.
- What should I expect to spend?
- The Spooky Sips cocktails and mocktails are priced at $6, dine-in only, with tax and gratuity excluded. Draft beer is served in a special 20-oz Brewtus glass, but no price is listed for it.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The current Halloween promotion gives the bar concrete named cocktails, the NEW TIPSY ZOMBIE and NEW DRACULA'S JUICE, with BACARDÍ callouts and a listed CUERVO TRADICIONAL 100% DE AGAVE spirit. The $6 Spooky Sips price applies to both cocktails and mocktails, dine-in only.
