How we score

The editorial take

Applebee's Grill + Bar runs a beverage program built around cocktails and draft beer. The current limited-time Spooky Sips promotion offers $6 cocktails including Tipsy Zombie, Dracula's Juice, and Cuervo Tradicional, with the first two including BACARDÍ and the third noted as 100% de agave. Happy hour explicitly promotes cocktails and signature cocktails, and customers have mentioned a margarita with a generous pour. Draft beer is available, and non-alcoholic options are offered during happy hour, with mocktails referenced in the Spooky Sips promotion. Expect a straightforward, value-focused drink list.

What should I order?
Try a $6 Spooky Sips cocktail: Tipsy Zombie or Dracula's Juice (both with BACARDÍ) or Cuervo Tradicional (100% de agave). A margarita is also a solid choice, with customers noting a generous pour. Draft beer is available if you prefer something simpler.

Anyone looking for affordable cocktails and draft beer in a familiar chain-restaurant setting. Happy hour visitors and those interested in the limited-time Spooky Sips promotion will find the most to choose from.

What should I expect to spend?

What makes the beverage program distinctive?
The limited-time $6 Spooky Sips promotion with named cocktails Tipsy Zombie, Dracula's Juice, and Cuervo Tradicional sets this location's current drink list apart from a standard chain offering.
