The editorial take
Bonefish Grill's bar program leans into value and variety: Social Hour pours $7 cocktails built with premium spirits, while brunch layers in a WhistlePig Maple Old Fashioned and a $32 Mimosa bottle. House and premium wines by the glass, draft beer specials, and spirit-free refreshers round out a program that rewards timing. A Bourbon Cocktail Pairing Dinner signals ambition beyond the standard seafood-house bar.
- What should I order?
- Start with the WhistlePig Maple Old Fashioned at brunch—candied peppered bacon sets it apart. During Social Hour, the Mango Bourbon Sour or Fresh Margarita deliver at $7. For wine, the Meiomi Pinot Noir at $9 a glass is a solid value. Non-drinkers should try the Dragon Fruit No-Jito.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who like approachable, well-priced cocktails and familiar wine labels will feel at home. Social Hour bargain hunters and brunch crowds seeking a boozy mimosa or a maple-accented old fashioned are well served. Bourbon enthusiasts may find the occasional pairing dinner worth a look.
- When should I go?
- Brunch is the time for the more indulgent cocktails and spirit-free options.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Social Hour cocktails are a flat $7, with premium wines at $9 for 6oz and $13 for 9oz. Brunch cocktails range from $5 for a Mimosa glass to $14.9 for the WhistlePig Maple Old Fashioned. Non-alcoholic drinks sit around $5.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The program’s personality comes from its dual-track approach: bargain Social Hour classics and brunch cocktails with premium spirits and garnishes like candied peppered bacon. The Jefferson's Ocean Old Fashioned and Mini Martini Flight at $15 show a willingness to stretch beyond the usual chain-bar playbook.
