The editorial take
Beach Pub's beverage program is a beach-bar pragmatist's dream: a long list of familiar cocktails, a full breakfast-drink roster, and happy hour discounts on beer, well drinks, and house wine. Prices stay low—cocktails from $7 to $9.25, breakfast drinks from $4.75—making it a easy stop for a casual drink. The focus is on quantity and value, not craft.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Southside ($7.75) or Cucumber Spritz ($8.25) for a refreshing classic. For a morning option, the $4.75 Bloody Mary or $5.25 Mimosa are hard to beat. The Breakfast Shot ($9.00) is a playful pick.
