Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Bad Daddy's Burger Bar in runs a straightforward beverage program anchored by a 'Fresh Squeezed Cocktails' section of margaritas, including the Bad Ass Margarita with fresh lime and Margaritaville Gold tequila. Zero-proof cocktails using Ritual Zero Proof products show more ambition than the standard soda lineup. Beer appears via suggested pairings and as an ingredient in the Bacon Queso. Patrón Silver and Grand Marnier elevate the Boss Margarita.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Bad Ass Margarita at $9 for a fresh-lime classic. For a sweeter take, the Bad Ass Strawberry Margarita adds puree for $12. The Boss Margarita upgrades to Patrón Silver and Grand Marnier. If skipping alcohol, the Zero-Proof Faux Fashioned at $11 is a thoughtful whiskey alternative.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Burger-focused diners who want a reliable margarita with their meal, especially those who appreciate a fresh-squeezed cocktail rather than a mix. Non-drinkers will find a well-developed zero-proof menu, a rarity at this venue type.
- When should I go?
- Suitable for a casual lunch or dinner where a straightforward cocktail or zero-proof option pairs with a burger. The pickup option for cocktails with a food purchase suggests a convenient takeout occasion.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails are priced competitively: Bad Ass Margarita at $9, Bad Ass Strawberry Margarita at $12. Zero-proof options range from $7 for the Pineapple Smash to $11 for the Faux Fashioned. Expect a moderate outlay for a burger bar beverage.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The beverage program is notable for its zero-proof cocktail lineup, using Ritual Zero Proof spirits to create non-alcoholic versions of classics. The margarita-focused cocktail section is straightforward, but the fresh-squeezed approach and use of Patrón Silver in the Boss Margarita add a touch of quality. Beer is woven into the food menu via the Amber Ale-infused queso.
