The editorial take
Back Streets Sports Bar runs a serious beverage operation behind its sports-bar facade: a specialty cocktail list spanning classics, creamy, fruity, margaritas, martinis, mojitos, and Moscow mules, plus a deep beer lineup with drafts, bottles, cans, and seltzers. Daily specials like $5 select call drinks on Mondays and $5 pitchers on Thursdays keep the value sharp. A dedicated mocktail menu and NA beers round out the program.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Black Walnut Old Fashioned, made with Bulleit Bourbon, brandied cherries, black walnut bitters, and orange slice. For something lighter, the French 75 uses Nolet's Gin or Beefeater Pink with butterfly pea tea. If beer is more your pace, the Thursday $5 pitchers of Bud Light, Miller Lite, Coors Light, or Yuengling deliver.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want variety without pretense: the cocktail menu covers everything from a Long Island Iced Tea to a Mudslide, while the beer list spans mainstream drafts and craft bottles like Jai Alai IPA. Non-alcoholic drinkers are covered with a dedicated mocktail menu and NA beers.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour brings half-price drinks, shots, bottled beer, and drafts. The daily specials rotate, with $5 select call drinks on Mondays, half-price drinks on Tuesdays, $5 bombs on Wednesdays, $5 pitchers on Thursdays, and $1.99 well vodka drinks on Saturdays.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Pricing is value-oriented: $5 select call drinks on Mondays, $5 pitchers on Thursdays, $1.99 well vodka drinks on Saturdays, and a $4 Shot of the Month. Happy hour cuts drink prices in half.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The sheer scope of the cocktail menu—classics, creamy, fruity, margaritas, martinis, mojitos, Moscow mules—plus a full mocktail list and NA beers sets it apart from typical sports bars. The Black Walnut Old Fashioned and French 75 show ambition beyond standard bar pours.
