Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Applebee's Grill + Bar in pushes a beverage program built on happy hour deals and seasonal cocktail specials. The current $6 Spooky Sips promotion anchors the cocktail menu, while the happy hour page promises signature cocktails and draft beer alongside pub snacks. It's a straightforward, value-oriented bar program aimed at casual drinking, not a destination for craft cocktail exploration.
- What should I order?
- Order a $6 Spooky Sips cocktail, the venue's promoted seasonal special. The happy hour page also highlights signature cocktails and draft beer, so pairing a cocktail with a happy hour appetizer like Brew Pub Pretzels & Beer Cheese Dip fits the program's casual, deal-driven approach.
