How we score

The editorial take

The bar program leans on cocktails and signature cocktails, with a seasonal $6 Spooky Sips promotion that names the Tipsy Zombie and Dracula's Juice. Both use Bacardi; Dracula's Juice adds Cuervo Tradicional 100% de Agave. Draft beer is part of the Happy Hour bar offering, and the same seasonal promotion includes mocktails at a set price. A recent customer account calls a margarita the best, crediting a specific bartender.
