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.
