The editorial take
Cargo treats drinks as a central part of the visit rather than an afterthought. The cocktail list runs from a Cargo Margarita and Coconut Margarita to a TX Pecan Maple Old Fashioned and Espresso Martini, with a separate brunch roster that includes Bottomless Mimosas and a Candied Bacon Bloody Mary. Wine covers White, Red, Rosé, and Sparkling. Beer splits into domestic and import bottles plus draft, with seasonal rotating taps. Nonalcoholic choices include Michelob Ultra Zero and a full soft-drink selection.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Cargo Margarita, built on blanco tequila, orange liqueur, and house made sweet-n-sour with a salted rim. For something stirred and spirit-forward, the TX Pecan Maple Old Fashioned uses whiskey, maple syrup, and bitters with Luxardo cherry and orange. Ask about seasonal cocktails and rotating beers on tap.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups and visitors looking for a broad drink list will find cocktails, wine, beer, and nonalcoholic options in one place. Brunch crowds have a dedicated cocktail section, including Bottomless Mimosas priced per person and a Candied Bacon Bloody Mary.
- When should I go?
- Weekend brunch is the natural window for the brunch cocktail list, including mimosas, Breakfast Margarita, and Candied Bacon Bloody Mary. The main cocktail, wine, and beer lists are available beyond brunch.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Bottomless Mimosas are priced per person; the menu does not state the amount. Cocktail, wine, and beer prices are not detailed in the menu text. Expect standard restaurant beverage pricing for the area.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The drink program spans a dedicated named cocktail list, a separate brunch cocktail section, wine across four styles, domestic and import beer, draft options, and adult boozy milkshakes. Seasonal cocktails and rotating beers on tap add moving parts to an otherwise broad list.
