Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The bar program at this Applebee's leans on happy hour: the page explicitly lists cocktails, signature cocktails, draft beer, and drink specials, and a $6 Spooky Sips promotion names Tipsy Zombie, Dracula's Juice, and a Cuervo Tradicional 100% de Agave cocktail. Non-alcoholic options exist, and the prickly pear lemonade has been tried and called just okay. The strongest, most concrete drinking here is the seasonal cocktail lineup at its stated price.
- What should I order?
- Start with the $6 Spooky Sips cocktails: Tipsy Zombie and Dracula's Juice, both listed with BACARDÍ, or the Cuervo Tradicional 100% de Agave cocktail. If you want draft beer, ask what is on tap before committing.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the clear occasion for cocktails and draft beer specials; the $6 Spooky Sips offer is a limited-time promotion.
- What should I expect to spend?
- The named Spooky Sips cocktails are $6 each; happy hour promotions cover cocktails, draft beer, appetizers, and drink specials.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The location puts named cocktails and signature cocktails at the bar and ties them to a $6 Spooky Sips promotion with specific drinks and spirits rather than a vague drink list.
