Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The drinks program here is broad and deliberately priced. Cocktails run from Mediterranean signatures like Gintonica and Baklava Sour to a full classics section and five spritzes, with Aperitivo Hour dropping a Venetian Spritz and Snack Bar Martini to $6. Wine leans natural with a stated minimal-intervention focus, and $16 flights let you pick three pours. Beer covers domestic, Mexican, Italian, and craft, while the non-alcoholic list includes spirit alternatives, NA wines, NA beers, and kombucha.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Gintonica, a Spanish gin and housemade tonic build with mint, rosemary, grapefruit, lime, and peppercorns. For something richer, the Las Palmas layers Altos blanco and reposado with orange liqueur, coconut cream, lime, and hibiscus salt. If you want wine, the $16 flight lets you pick three glass pours.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants a serious drink list without a single-track focus. Cocktail drinkers get signatures, classics, and spritzes; wine drinkers get a natural-leaning list with flights; beer drinkers get a wide spread; and non-alcoholic drinkers get actual choices rather than an afterthought.
- When should I go?
- Aperitivo Hour is the obvious window for the $6 Venetian Spritz and $6 Snack Bar Martini, with half off house wine and sangria. Wednesday brings half-price bottles of wine. The large patio is a draw when the weather cooperates.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Signatures run $12-$14, classics $9-$12, and spritzes $11 except Spaghett at $8. Wine flights are $16, NA wines $11, and non-alcoholic libations $7-$10. Beer is $4-$7, with cider at $13 and sake at $9. Aperitivo Hour and Wednesday specials cut those numbers.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a natural-wine focus, Mediterranean-inspired cocktails, and a non-alcoholic section that includes NA wines, NA beers, kombucha, and multiple spirit alternatives. Few programs cover that much ground while keeping happy-hour pricing on the cocktails and wine.
