The editorial take

The bar program leans on a limited-time $6 Spooky Sips promotion that names the Tipsy Zombie and Dracula's Juice, with Bacardí and Cuervo Tradicional referenced in the promotional imagery.

The rest of the year, the cocktail and signature cocktail list carries the bar, while draft beer and a stated range of non-alcoholic beverages round out the choices.
