Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Bar DKDC pairs an international street-food menu with a cocktail list that runs eight deep, all at $12. The drinks lean fresh and herbaceous—watermelon with basil, shiso with mint—while the rum-bar identity shows in two rum-based cocktails. Wine, local draft beer, and a crafted non-alcoholic option round out a compact, affordable program.
- What should I order?
- Start with Watermellow, a tequila, watermelon, basil, lime, and seltzer mix that captures the bar's fresh style. For rum fans, Sister Nancy layers black and gold rum with apricot liqueur and Coco Lopez. Both are $12.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who like inventive, refreshment-oriented cocktails at a fair price will find plenty to explore. The rum bar identity should also appeal to rum enthusiasts, even though the specific rum selection isn't detailed.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails and wines are uniformly $12; draught beers are $7; bottles and cans run $4 to $6. Non-alcoholic drinks range from $2.50 to $6.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The bar's self-description as a rum bar with international street food sets it apart, and the cocktail menu shows a willingness to mix unexpected ingredients like shiso and Coco Lopez alongside more familiar basil and mint.
