Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The cocktail list is the main draw: an all-draft menu with fresh-squeezed margaritas, a Paloma, and a rotating tap lineup of over 30 craft beers. Wine by the glass covers seven familiar grapes at $9–$10, and Sunny Sangria uses your choice of red or white. A Beer Sommelier is on hand for pairings.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Classic Lime Margarita on Draft, made with fresh lime and orange juices, sugar cane syrup, Jose Cuervo Silver, and triple sec. Add a Spicy Jalapeno or Passion Fruit flavor, or a Nixta Elote floater. For something different, try the Tajin Peach Lemonade or the Tropical Rum Punch.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants a serious draft cocktail program without giving up a broad beer tap list. Wine drinkers will find familiar by-the-glass options, and margarita fans get flavor add-ons and floaters.
- When should I go?
- A good stop for a casual drink when you want a draft margarita or a local beer. The all-draft format makes it easy to order a round without waiting on a shaken cocktail.

- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
