The editorial take

Búho Bar pairs handcrafted cocktails with South American-inspired tapas, and the rooftop setting includes a full bar. The Búho cocktail, priced at $18, is the named pour, though a diner found it small for the price. Another guest sent back a $19 cocktail as too syrupy and moved to a $27 old fashioned. Reviewers have praised the cocktails as balanced and amazing, with one noting they lean heavy on juices or flavoring. A Montelobos mezcal was paired with a meal.

What should I order?: Start with Búho cocktail at $18. The menu describes it with Named cocktail ordered by a diner; described as delicious but small for the price.
Who will enjoy this place?: Guests who want handcrafted cocktails alongside South American-inspired tapas, and those comfortable with a full bar and a rooftop setting, will find the most to work with here.
What should I expect to spend?: The named Búho cocktail is $18, a reported old fashioned was $27, and a separate cocktail drew a $19 price before being sent back. Expect cocktail pricing in that range.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: The combination of handcrafted and curated cocktails with South American-inspired tapas, plus a rooftop experience and a full bar, sets the beverage program apart from a standard bar list.
