Review methodology and evidence standardsThe editorial take
Ten signature cocktails at $16 each, a frozen section with four-drink flights, and seventeen draft lines give this bar an unusually wide beverage footprint. The cocktail list runs tequila, mezcal, bourbon, vodka, and Prosecco builds, including a $30 sharing cocktail served in a pineapple. Wine covers red, white, rose, and sparkling by the glass, with two named Champagnes by the bottle. Three mocktails at $10 round out the list, and a $10 Boilermaker anchors happy hour.
- What should I order?
- Cactus Kiss, built on Quintaliza Tequila with guava, coconut, and pineapple, or Outlaws Ember with Su Casa Mezcal, Ancho Reyes, grapefruit, lime, and agave. For a group, the $30 It's Giddy Up Time arrives in a pineapple. On draft, the house-branded Boots & Bones Pilsner is the cleanest starting point.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups splitting a frozen flight of four, drinkers who want a $16 cocktail with a named base spirit rather than a generic pour, and beer drinkers who care about seventeen draft lines with three house-branded options. Wine drinkers get by-the-glass range across five countries.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour pricing covers well drinks at $7, draft Bud Light and Miller Lite at $5, domestic cans at $7, and select wine at $7 on Wild West Wednesdays. Brunch brings four cocktails with any brunch items for $40 and Aperol Spritz at $6.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails are $16, with the sharing cocktail at $30 and frozen drinks at $14 each or $30 for a flight of four. Wine by the glass runs $12-$14, with Champagne bottles at $250-$275. Draft beer is $7-$8, cans and bottles $5-$7, mocktails $10.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A ten-drink cocktail list at $16 with spirit-specific builds, a separate frozen section that includes flights and a Coronita add-on, and seventeen draft lines with house-branded IPA, Lager, and Pilsner under the same roof. Two named Champagnes by the bottle sit beside $5-$8 drafts.
