Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program here leans on two things: Happy Hour cocktail specials and a limited-time $6 Spooky Sips menu of Halloween cocktails and mocktails. Promotional images name Tipsy Zombie, Dracula's Juice, and a Bacardí Served Mucho option that takes an optional Vibe Drop add-on. Cold draft beer is promoted as part of the bar offering, and non-alcoholic options are acknowledged as part of the beverage lineup. The $6 price holds across the featured Spooky Sips drinks, excluding tax and gratuity, making the seasonal list the clearest reason to order a cocktail rather than a beer.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Spooky Sips list while it runs: Tipsy Zombie and Dracula's Juice are both named at $6, and the Bacardí Served Mucho takes an optional Vibe Drop add-on. Outside the promotion, Happy Hour is the supported route, with signature and crisp cocktails promoted at this location.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants a named, low-priced cocktail with a seasonal theme rather than a full bar program. The Spooky Sips drinks are dine-in only and 21+, so the promotion suits guests planning to sit and order from the table. Draft beer covers the simpler order.
- When should I go?
- Happy Hour is the promoted window for cocktail specials at this location. The Spooky Sips promotion is a limited-time, dine-in-only offering, 21+, and subject to location participation and supplies, so it is worth confirming before a trip built around it.
- What should I expect to spend?
- The Spooky Sips cocktails are priced at $6, excluding tax and gratuity. Happy Hour cocktail specials are promoted at this location, and draft beer is part of the bar offering.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The seasonal Spooky Sips promotion is the distinguishing piece: three named Halloween cocktails at $6, a mocktail side to the same promotion, and a Bacardí Served Mucho option with an optional Vibe Drop add-on. It is advertised as new for 2026, which separates it from the standing Happy Hour cocktail specials.
