The editorial take
Burnhearts puts its muscle behind beer: a draft list built on barrel-aged locals like Central Waters and a bottle list that reaches for Bruery and Cascade sours. Cocktails, per one review, lean tiki and balanced. Non-alcoholic beer covers the sober curious. A beer geek's bar with a tropical cocktail side bet.
- What should I order?
- Start with Central Waters Bourbon Barleywine on draft, then a bottle of The Bruery Cuivre or Cascade Manhattan for the rare stuff. Rochefort 10 if you want a Trappist classic. Clausthaler Amber if you're not drinking.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer enthusiasts chasing barrel-aged and sour bottles, locals who like a deep draft list, and anyone who appreciates a bar that takes its beer list seriously without the fuss.
- When should I go?
- Anytime the beer list calls; the page suggests checking Untappd for the latest lineup, so follow that for special releases.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Draft pours run $6–$8; bottles range from $3 for Pabst High Life Lite to $55 for Cascade Manhattan. Rare 750mls like The Bruery Cuivre sit at $45.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A beer list that spans from $3 domestic lager to $55 sour ale, with a clear affinity for barrel-aged and wild ales. The cocktail program, though lightly evidenced, adds a tiki-inflected contrast.
