Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
A bar with a beverage program built around range rather than a single specialty. The cocktail list runs ten drinks across tequila, rye, gin, brandy, bourbon, dark rum, and vodka, including the Toronto with rye and Fernet Branca and the Bronx Cocktail with gin and two vermouths. Any of them can be made with shaved ice on request. Wine splits into white and red sections with glass and bottle pricing, and beer leans on local names alongside familiar lagers.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Toronto, a rye-and-Fernet Branca build, or the Bronx Cocktail with gin and dry and sweet vermouth. If you want something cold and long, the Campfire Mule pairs bourbon, lemon, and ginger beer. Any cocktail can be ordered with shaved ice. On the beer side, ask for the Wiseacre or Crosstown options.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a straight answer rather than a theme. The cocktail list covers clear classics and flavored builds, the wine list runs from Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc to Pinot Noir and Bordeaux, and the beer list includes brands for anyone keeping it local.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Wine is the clearest benchmark on the menu: glasses run from 9.5 to 12, bottles from 38 to 48. Cocktail and beer pricing are not listed.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The shaved-ice option applies to every cocktail on the list, which is an unusual blanket offer rather than a single frozen specialty. The cocktail range itself is unusually wide, moving through seven base spirits and classic builds like the Bronx Cocktail and Toronto.
