The editorial take
Corndance Tavern runs a beverage list with clear structure: 13 named cocktails split between signature and seasonal sections, priced $11–$13, and a wine-by-the-glass list drawn exclusively from North and South America. The cocktail recipes name specific spirits, including Wild Turkey Rare Breed, Botanist gin, and 400 Conejos mezcal. Wine pours come in 6 oz and 8.5 oz sizes, with red and white options from California, Washington, Argentina, and Chile. A separate mocktail section lists two $8 drinks. The Vault, a wine room with one private table and a personal iPad for music, gives the wine side a distinct setting.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Revolver, made with Wild Turkey Rare Breed, lemon juice, ginger syrup, and cracked black pepper, or the seasonal Thyme to Reflect with 400 Conejos mezcal, Licor 43, lime, blackberry thyme, and Angostura bitters. For wine, the Daou Cabernet from Paso Robles is available by the glass at $13 for 6 oz or $18 for 8.5 oz.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a broad cocktail list with recognizable spirits and a wine-by-the-glass selection focused on the Americas. The mocktail section gives non-drinkers two specific $8 options rather than a single afterthought.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $11–$13. Wine by the glass is $9–$23 for 6 oz pours and $14–$35 for 8.5 oz pours. Mocktails are $8.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The wine list stays exclusively within North and South America, and the venue includes The Vault, a wine room with a single private table and a personal iPad for music.
