The editorial take
A restaurant bar program with unusual range for its size: eight hand-crafted cocktails built on Four Roses, Los Vecinos Mezcal, Woodford Reserve, and Concierge Gold Gin, plus a spirits list that reaches Redbreast 12YR, The Macallan 12YR, and Don Julio 1942. Wine runs by glass and bottle across named producers, and eight drafts lean on Swamp Head, First Magnitude, and Cigar City. Cocktails run $10–$16, drafts $6.
- What should I order?
- Start with The Flame on 13th, Woodford Reserve with Amaro Lucano, rosemary simple, and orange bitters at $16, or The Cherry Millhopper, Los Vecinos Mezcal with cherry purée, lime, triple sec, and simple syrup at $15. For something lighter, the Newnans Gimlet uses Boodles Gin with elderflower, cucumber, and basil at $12.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a full bar rather than a single-lane program: a mezcal or bourbon cocktail, a local draft, a Sancerre by the glass, and an aged Scotch or tequila all sit on the same list. Groups ordering across different bases will find something for each.
- When should I go?
- Wednesday evenings pair live jazz with the hand-crafted cocktails. Brunch adds Mimosas, Aperol Spritz, Limoncello Bellini, Bloody Mary, and Espresso Martini at $12–$14, with Endless Mimosas at $22.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Hand-crafted cocktails $10–$16; brunch cocktails $12–$14; Endless Mimosas $22. Draft beers $6, bottles and cans $6–$8, seltzer $10. Wine by the glass $10–$25, bottles $20–$528. Non-alcoholic Stella Artois 0% is $6.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The spirits list is the differentiator: whiskey and Scotch sections with aged expressions like Redbreast 12YR, Oban 14YR, and The Balvenie DoubleWood 12YR, plus gin, rum, and tequila/mezcal picks including Monkey 47, Ron Zacapa No. 23, and Clase Azul Reposado. That breadth sits behind a cocktail menu that names its base spirits rather than hiding them.
