Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Bar San Marco builds its beverage identity around a resident mixologist's rotating signature cocktails and a 10-drink Elevated Classics section at $10 each, made with premium-label spirits and fresh ingredients. Signature cocktails run $13–$16 and span pisco, bourbon, vodka, Jamaican rum, white rum, and gin bases. A draft and bottle beer list covers local options and Spanish lagers, and two mocktails plus a non-alcoholic lager give non-drinkers more than a token choice.
- What should I order?
- The Velvet Peruvian, a pisco cocktail with fresh citrus and velvety foam, or the Limelight, which combines bourbon with fresh pineapple and lemon juice, Campari, and orange bitters. For a classic, the Old Fashioned is part of the $10 Elevated Classics collection.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a considered cocktail list alongside tapas, and anyone looking for a non-alcoholic option that goes beyond soda.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Signature cocktails are $13–$16, Elevated Classics are $10, draft beers are $6–$8, bottle beers are $5–$6, and mocktails are $12–$13.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The beverage program pairs a resident mixologist's rotating signatures with a fixed-price 10-drink classic collection, and the beer list includes both options and Spanish lagers.
