The editorial take
The cocktail list carries this restaurant bar: eight named drinks, split between an $8–$10 happy-hour roster (Old Fashioned, Margarita, Mojito, Up Dog) and $16 signatures like the Boozehounds Margarita with Teremana reposado and chili tincture, the Jungle Bird, and the Kweeña-Colada. Wine and beer stay simple—three house pours at $9 and three beers at $6–$7. Well drinks are $8. The program is built for desert drinking rather than deep cellar or tap exploration.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Boozehounds Margarita: Teremana reposado, ancho reyes, citrus-infused agave cordial, chili tincture, house tajin salt, and a lime wheel. For something lighter, the Up Dog—vodka or gin served up—is $10 during happy hour. The Jungle Bird and Kweeña-Colada round out the $16 signature tier.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a full cocktail list with recognizable classics and a few house signatures, plus accessible happy-hour pricing. Wine and beer drinkers looking for a focused house pour or a cold lager will find enough to order, but this is not a deep-list venue.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the value window: cocktails at $8–$10, wine at $9, and beer at $6–$7.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Happy hour: $8 for an Old Fashioned, Margarita, or Mojito; $10 for the Up Dog; $9 for house wine; $6–$7 for beer; $8 for a well drink. Signature cocktails are $16 each.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The split between a classic happy-hour cocktail list and a $16 signature list with specific spirits and modifiers—ancho reyes, heirloom pineapple amaro, Copalli, Appleton rum—gives the bar more range than its three-item wine and beer lists suggest.
