Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program at Burtons Grill & Bar covers a broad range of drinking occasions with a cocktail list that moves from Classics like the Burtons Old Fashioned and French 75 to Spritzes and house Creations such as Desert Flower. Wine is organized by sparkling, rosé, white, and red with glass and bottle options, while beer runs from familiar bottles to local cans and draft. A dedicated non-alcoholic cocktail section and gluten-free beer options round out the list.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Burtons Old Fashioned, made with Redemption bourbon, vanilla brown sugar, and both angostura and spiced cranberry bitters. For something lighter, the Desert Flower combines Espolòn reposado tequila, pelotón de la muerte mezcal, elderflower liqueur, lemon, and prickly pear. Non-drinkers can choose the Berry Sparkler with blueberry, house-made hibiscus lemonade, and bubbles.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Guests who want a recognizable but varied drink list will find plenty here, from classic cocktails and spritzes to wine by the glass or bottle and a range of beers. The dedicated non-alcoholic cocktails and gluten-free beer options make the program useful for mixed groups.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour offers $6 mixed drinks, $10 Burtons specialty cocktails, $2 off wine by the glass, and $2 off draft beer. Wine Wednesdays bring half-priced wine bottles at select locations. Seasonal cocktail menus rotate in fall and winter, and Halloween-themed cocktails are available October 1–31.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Classics cocktails are $14–$16, Spritzes and Creations are $14–$15, and Halloween cocktails are $14 each. Non-alcoholic cocktails are $10. Wine by the glass runs $12–$25, bottles $44–$125. Beer bottles are $6–$7 and cans $7–$10. Happy hour lowers mixed drinks to $6 and specialty cocktails to $10.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail list is unusually broad for a restaurant program, with separate Classics, Spritzes, and Creations sections plus rotating Fall & Winter and Halloween features. Wine Wednesdays and a dedicated non-alcoholic cocktail section with three options add practical range without relying on a single style.
