Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Boone & Crockett runs a democratic bar program: every house cocktail is $10, many poured from taps, from an Old Fashioned to a Trinidad Sour. Beer spans $3 PBR to $9 New Glarus Raspberry Tart, with boilermakers for the committed. Wine is modest but includes a Wednesday bottle discount. A dedicated mocktail menu covers the sober side. One customer found the Manhattan bitter and overpriced, but the program's breadth is hard to argue with.
- What should I order?
- Start with the on-tap Sazerac: Canadian Club rye, Peychaud's, raw sugar, and Copper & Kings absinthe. The Trinidad Sour is an award-winning Angostura-heavy oddity worth trying. For beer, the Working Man boilermaker—PBR with a shot of Jack Daniels—delivers value at $6.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who like a wide range without pretension: cocktail classicists, craft beer fans, and bargain hunters. The tap system and boilermakers appeal to those who want efficiency, while the mocktail menu invites designated drivers and non-drinkers.
- When should I go?
- Wednesday evenings for 50% off wine bottles, or any night for the consistent $10 cocktail list.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails are $10 each; beers run $3–$9; boilermakers are $6–$7; mocktails $8; wine by the glass $6–$14, bottles $28–$54 (half off Wednesdays).
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A cocktail list on tap—including a Sazerac and Negroni—at a flat $10 price point. The beer program pairs cheap classics with a boilermaker section, and the mocktail menu is equally thoughtful. Local Fieldnotes Gin appears in several drinks.

How it sits with the food
No food menu was documented, but the bar's savory, bitter cocktails (Negroni, Trinidad Sour) would pair with salty snacks; the $3–$4 lagers are natural companions to bar food.
