Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Bloom is a wine bar and florals shop with a beverage list that runs deeper than its size suggests. Over 80 wines by the glass and bottle span white, red, rosé, sparkling, sweet, and dessert. Flights let you order by row or column, or pick any four wines for $25, and half-pour side-by-sides at $15 compare regions directly. Cocktails are $12 across classics and signatures, and every signature can be made as an $8 mocktail. A monthly reserve wine and rotating $5 happy hour wines keep the by-the-glass list moving.
- What should I order?
- Start with a wine flight — any four wines for $25 — or the $15 side-by-side half-pours to compare regions. The Turnbull Cabernet Sauvignon is the August reserve at $17 a glass, or take the Castello Di Ama Chianti Classico at $20. For cocktails, the Desert Rose (mezcal, hibiscus, elderflower, prosecco) or Lavender Bees Knees (gin, lavender, honey, lemon) at $12.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone building a tasting flight rather than committing to a single bottle, and drinkers who want a full cocktail list alongside wine. The $8 mocktail versions of every signature cocktail suit those skipping alcohol without settling for soda.
- When should I go?
- Friday happy hour brings $1 off cocktails and appetizers and rotating $5 wines by the glass. Wine flights and side-by-side pours make a natural visit for a tasting session rather than a quick stop.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails $12; mocktails $8. Wine by the glass from $9, with reserve pours at $17 and bottles from $25 to $199. Flights $16–$25; side-by-side half-pours $15. Beer $4–$7; NA wine $7 a glass; THC soda $12.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A wine bar and florals shop with over 80 wines available in-house or to take home, a Grapevine membership program, and structured flights — order by row or column, or choose any four wines for $25. The monthly reserve wine by the glass and $15 half-pour comparisons are built for tasting across regions.
