The editorial take
Bud's Sports Bar runs three beverage programs with different ambitions. The bourbon menu lists over 40 expressions, from Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare to Weller 12 Year and William LaRue Weller. Draft covers domestics, premiums, and regional craft like Hutton & Smith Igneous IPA and Wiseacre Coffee Stout. Happy Hour Signature Cocktails are three drinks at $7.00 each: The Painkiller, Jim Beam Peach Slush, and Altos Pineapple Margarita.
- What should I order?
- Start with the bourbon menu: Weller 12 Year, Blanton Single Barrel, and William LaRue Weller are all listed. On draft, Hutton & Smith Igneous IPA and Wiseacre Coffee Stout cover regional craft. For a $7.00 Happy Hour pour, The Painkiller is a Cruzan rum cocktail.
