Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Boxcar Bar + Arcade runs a serious draft program: 24 craft taps with a live-streaming menu that tracks 20 drafts and 22 bottles or cans. Styles span pilsners to porters, sours, and ciders, plus a house lager brewed. Cocktails and wine are present but less detailed. Nonalcoholic drinkers get Athletic NA beers and Liquid Death water. A solid stop for beer-focused sessions.
- What should I order?
- Start with Boxcar's Lager, an American Light Lager brewed to taste the house collaboration. Then sample the rotating draft list, which covers everything from pilsners and IPAs to stouts and sours. Check the live-streaming menu for current pours and daily deals like $5 Pint Night.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers looking for variety will appreciate the rotating taps and bottle selection. Those seeking a designated-driver option will find nonalcoholic beers from Athletic Brewing and Corona, plus Liquid Death water. Cocktail and wine enthusiasts may find the program adequate but not destination-worthy.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The live-streaming beer menu sets it apart, giving drinkers real-time availability across 20 drafts and 22 bottles or cans. Pair that with a house-brewed lager and daily deals like $5 Pint Night, and the draft focus is clear.
