Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Avanti Food and Beverage runs a broad beverage program with a clear Colorado tilt. The beer list is the standout, with a deep draft lineup of local and regional breweries alongside packaged options. Cocktails split into frozen, classic, and brunch formats, with spirit floats available on frozen drinks. Wine covers white, red, rosé, and sparkling by the glass and bottle, plus a high-end bottle tier. High End Pours offer 1oz and 2oz flexibility across whiskey, Scotch, Japanese whiskey, and tequila. Non-alcoholic drinkers get mocktails and packaged NA beer, kombucha, and sparkling options.
- What should I order?
- Start with a Spicy Mango Frozen Margarita with a mezcal float for the frozen side, or a Barrel Aged Old Fashioned for something stirred. On the beer side, Odell Lagerado and Avery IPA anchor the draft list. For spirits, the High End Pours section offers 1oz and 2oz portions across categories.
