The editorial take
Augustino's pairs a nine-drink craft cocktail menu with a by-the-glass wine list that runs from Prosecco to Napa Cabernet and a spirits list that goes deep on bourbon and rye. The cocktails use fresh squeezed juices and named spirits, priced $12 to $20. The whiskey selection includes allocated and barrel-strength bottles with individual pour prices, ranging from approachable to rare.
- What should I order?
- Start with the House Smoked Old Fashioned, made with Old Forester Private Barrel Bourbon, Regan's Orange Bitters, 18.21 OF Syrup, Luxardo Cherry, and house smoked, $20. For a lighter pour, the Planter's Punch with Diplomatico Mantuano Rum, pineapple, fresh lime, grenadine, and club soda is $12.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a serious whiskey pour alongside a full cocktail and wine list. The spirits list rewards those seeking allocated and barrel-strength expressions, while the by-the-glass wine range and nine cocktails give non-whiskey drinkers plenty to choose from.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $12 to $20. Wines by the glass are $8 to $30. Spirits pours range from $10 for Belvedere vodka to $250 for rare rye, with most bourbon and rye pours in the $12 to $45 range.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The spirits list is the standout: an extensive bourbon, rye, vodka, and gin selection with individual pour prices and rare, allocated bottles like WhistlePig Badonkadonk 25yr and Widow Jane Black Opal 20 YR. The cocktail menu and by-the-glass wine list are broad and specific, but the whiskey depth is the reason to come.
