The editorial take
Bottoms Up Bar & Grill runs a beverage program built for volume and variety. The cocktail list carries 15 standard drinks and a separate 12-drink summer menu, with ingredient detail and prices from $6 to $15. Twenty-one draft beers span craft, domestic, and import, poured as pints, mugs, towers, or 6-bottle buckets. House shots and a happy hour with $5 margaritas and $7 Champions Old Fashioneds round out the offer. Non-alcoholic beer is available in three labels.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Piedra y Fuego, a blanco tequila drink with house-made tepache, chipotle syrup, and Squirt served flaming in a cantarito. For a straightforward pour, the Champions Old Fashioned uses Maker's Mark with chocolate and aromatic bitters, or order the Crude Margarita with Patron Silver and Cointreau.
