Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program leans on two deep lists: wine priced from 9 to 19 by the 6oz glass and up to Opus One at 475, and a whiskey roster running from Buffalo Trace to Macallan 18. Eight cocktails sit at a flat 13, among them the Sweet Tea Old Fashioned and the Charbird. Four drafts at 8 include Fertile Ground and the spirit-free section covers non-alcoholic beer and water.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Sweet Tea Old Fashioned, built on Jack Rudy sweet tea syrup, Four Roses, and a lemon ice cube, or the Jewel with Jameson, sweet vermouth, cherry juice, and bitters served up. For a spirit-forward finish, Booker's and Blanton's are both poured, as is Lagavulin 16.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone treating the whiskey list as the point of the visit, and drinkers who want a named cocktail at a set price rather than a bespoke order. Wine drinkers get glass, 9oz, and bottle formats across white, rosé, and red.
- When should I go?
- Suitable for a seated dinner where the wine list or whiskey roster carries the table, with a cocktail to open and a spirit-free option for anyone skipping alcohol.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails are 13, with the Berry Spritz at 7. Wine by the 6oz glass runs 9 to 19; bottles run 30 to 475. Whiskey pours span 9 to 90 and tequila 14 to 22. Draft beer is 8, bottles and cans 5 to 8.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A single beverage menu carries a broad bottle list, a whiskey section with bourbon, rye, scotch, and tequila, and four drafts that include Fertile Ground Beer Co. Alongside national brands. Cocktail prices are uniform at 13, and the spirit-free section names specific non-alcoholic beers rather than leaving it at soda.
