The editorial take
The margarita list does the heavy lifting here, with seven named variants including Presidente Margarita®, Don Julio® Marg, Patron® Marg, Henny Marg, Casamigos® Marg, Skinny Marg, and Cherry Limeade Marg, plus a Tito's Watermelon Spritz. Happy hour brings a Margarita of the Month at $6 and a Tequila Classic Marg at $7. Beer runs five brands across 16 oz and 22 oz pours at $3–$5. House red and white wine is $5 at happy hour. Nonalcoholic options include house-made lemonades and iced teas in several fruit flavors.
- What should I order?
- Start with a margarita from the named lineup—Presidente Margarita®, Don Julio® Marg, or Casamigos® Marg—or the Tito's Watermelon Spritz if you want something lighter. For beer, the 22 oz Modelo or Michelob Ultra at $5 during happy hour is the better value than the 16 oz pours.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- People who want a broad, recognizable margarita selection and straightforward beer choices at happy hour prices. Anyone looking for a deep wine list or a serious spirits selection should look elsewhere.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the obvious window for the $6 Margarita of the Month, $7 Tequila Classic Marg, $3–$5 beers, and $5 house wine.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Happy hour pricing is the value play: $6 for the Margarita of the Month, $7 for the Tequila Classic Marg, $3–$5 for beer, and $5 for house red or white wine. Outside happy hour, expect standard restaurant pricing on the margarita lineup.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A margarita-heavy cocktail list with seven named variants and a spritz, paired with a beer selection that spans five brands and two pour sizes. The nonalcoholic side is unusually specific for the format, with house-made lemonades and iced teas in named fruit flavors.
