The editorial take
Black Mountain Grill's bar menu covers broad ground: classic cocktails like the Manhattan and Old-Fashioned, specialties such as the Kickin' Rita, and a lineup of martinis. The spirits behind them are familiar names. Wine gets a midweek push with half-price bottles. This is a full-service bar with a lot of options, even if the cocktail list doesn't break new ground.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Manhattan, made with Maker's Mark Bourbon, sweet vermouth, and bitters. For something with a kick, the Kickin' Rita uses Patron, jalapeño, cucumber, and agave. The Old-Fashioned features Knob Creek Bourbon with muddled fruit.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who appreciate a wide-ranging cocktail list with familiar classics and contemporary specialties, plus a solid selection of wines by the glass or bottle and local beers on tap.
- When should I go?
- Wine Wednesday offers any bottle at half price with the purchase of two dinners, a good occasion for bottle-focused groups. The bar is open 24/7 for dine-in and take-out.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The bar menu is extensive, including a 'From The Cellar' wine section, a large cocktail list, and non-alcoholic beer options like Buckler and Daura. The island bar with lounge and deep leather chairs adds a comfortable setting.
