Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Comix Roadhouse runs a beverage program with real range: cocktails span Roadhouse Specials, frozen drinks, and Roadhouse Martinis, with named builds like The Rum Job, Passion & Pain Margarita, and Nutty Old Fashioned. A Whiskey - Tequila - Shots section covers bourbon, tequila, scotch, whiskey, and rye, while five mocktails each take an optional spirit addition. Beer stays broad rather than specific. The result is a venue where the cocktail and spirits lists do the heavy lifting, and nonalcoholic drinkers get named options instead of an afterthought.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Boss Hog Margarita, built on G4 Tequila Reposado with Cointreau, Grand Marnier, fresh lime juice, and a tajin-salt rim. For something stirred, the Nutty Old Fashioned uses Maker's Mark, Disaronno amaretto, toasted almond bitters, orange zest, and a Filthy cherry.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone ordering cocktails by name rather than by category, whiskey and tequila drinkers who want recognizable labels, and groups that need a share-a-pitcher option. Nonalcoholic drinkers get five named mocktails with the option to add a spirit for an upcharge.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Roadhouse Specials cocktails are $15, the Boss Hog Margarita is $22, and the Nutty Old Fashioned is $17. Roadhouse Martinis are $17, with a Baileys addition at $3. Mocktails are $8 each, with spirit additions at $7. A share-a-pitcher option is $53.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The menu separates cocktails into Roadhouse Specials, frozen drinks, and Roadhouse Martinis, and pairs that with a whiskey, tequila, and shots section that reaches from Angel's Envy and Blantons to Clase Azul Repo and Don Julio 1942. Mocktails are built as named drinks, not diluted versions of the cocktail list.
