How we score

The editorial take

Applebee's Grill + Bar runs a beverage program built around happy hour and seasonal promotions. The bar serves signature cocktails and crisp cocktails, with a limited-time $6 Spooky Sips offer naming Tipsy Zombie and Dracula's Juice, both showing BACARDÍ and Cuervo Tradicional branding. Draft beer is served cold during happy hour, and non-alcoholic options include mocktails. It is a straightforward, promotion-driven lineup rather than a deep or specialized drinks list.
