Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Club 609 operates a beverage program with two clear strengths. The cocktail section lists named drinks that span whiskey classics, rum-based builds, and flavored spirit combinations. The wine list covers whites, reds, bubbly, rosé, and blends, available by the glass and bottle. Prices for wine by the glass mostly fall between $10 and $20, with bottles largely in the $30–$40 range. The Old Fashioned and Downtown Manhattan anchor the cocktail side, while the wine list offers a mix of familiar labels and broader styles.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Old Fashioned, made with Makers, Luxardo, bitters, muddled orange, and club soda. For a rum-based alternative, the 609 Colada combines Bacardi, pineapple juice, and coconut cream, served on the rocks. On the wine side, the Gerard Bertrand Brut Rose is available by the glass and bottle.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Guests who want a straightforward selection of cocktails and wines without a narrow focus. The list suits those who appreciate both spirit-forward classics and lighter, fruit-driven drinks.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Wine by the glass ranges from $9 to $46, with most listed at $10–$20. Bottles range from $27 to $85, with most listed at $30–$40.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The beverage program pairs a cocktail list that moves from spirit-forward classics to flavored rum builds with a wine list that covers multiple styles by the glass and bottle, giving the venue a dual focus that is uncommon in a single restaurant bar.
