Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Applebee's Grill + Bar runs a predictable beverage program: $6 Spooky Sips cocktails, cold draft beers during Happy Hour, and a nonalcoholic menu with mocktails and refreshers. The cocktail list leans on generic descriptors like 'signature' and 'crisp.' The nonalcoholic categories offer the most concrete options, but spirits have no explicit presence. A practical stop for a cheap drink, not a destination for craft mixology.
- What should I order?
- Order the $6 Spooky Sips cocktail, a promotional special that delivers a budget-friendly mixed drink. For a nonalcoholic option, pick from the Mocktails or Refreshers categories listed on the menu. Draft beer is available during Happy Hour if you prefer beer.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers seeking low-priced cocktails and straightforward draft beer will find familiar ground. The nonalcoholic menu, including mocktails and refreshers, suits those skipping alcohol.
- When should I go?
- Happy Hour is the time to go, when drink specials include cocktails and draft beer.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The $6 Spooky Sips cocktail promotion is a seasonal hook, and the nonalcoholic menu with distinct Mocktails and Refreshers categories provides more structure than typical bar offerings.
