Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Brix Wine runs two beverage tracks: a Libations list of classics and seasonal variations, and a wine list that spans sparkling, white, rosé, and red with by-the-glass and bottle options. The cocktail side names its spirits, from Hendricks gin in the Martini to Jameson in The Renewal. Wine flights pair with cheese or chocolate.
- What should I order?
- Start with the New York Sour, made with rye, ginger syrup, lemon juice, bitters, and red wine, or the Espresso Tini with vodka, Kahlúa, Cafe Granita Liquer, and cold brew. For wine, the Seance Sauvignon Blanc from California or the Altocedro Malbec from Argentina are solid by-the-glass picks.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants a cocktail list with recognizable spirits and a wine list that covers multiple regions and styles. The flights with cheese or chocolate suit people who prefer to compare several pours rather than commit to one glass.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails are $14–$16. Wine by the glass runs $12–$16, and the Clarendelle Bordeaux bottle is $48. Flights range from $40 for Cheese & Vino to $55 for Bold Reds. Mocktails are $8.
