Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Craft is a bar with a beverage program built around a deep draft beer selection, a concise cocktail list, and a straightforward wine offering. The beer program anchors the venue with 24 taps plus cans, updated frequently, spanning lagers, IPAs, sours, stouts, ciders, and wheat beers. Cocktails include nine drinks and a rotating frozen selection, plus 64oz punch bowls at $24. Wines are all $8, with five whites and four reds. The program prioritizes variety and accessibility over luxury.
- What should I order?
- Start with a 16oz draft of Mass Riot IPA, a New England IPA at $8. For something lighter, Dale's Pale Ale at $6 or Guinness Draught at $6. If you prefer a cocktail, the Blueberry Whiskey Smash with American whiskey, lemon, and fresh blueberries is a solid choice. The 64oz punch bowls, such as JT's Kryptonite, are built for sharing.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who value a broad, frequently rotating tap list will find plenty here, especially those who enjoy IPAs. Groups looking for a shared punch bowl or a casual cocktail will also be well served. Wine drinkers seeking a basic $8 glass will find a small but functional list.
- When should I go?
- Visit during the day for a quieter setting, or in the evening when the bar is more active. The rotating frozen drinks and punch bowls suit warm afternoons and group gatherings.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Drafts range from $3.00 to $8.00 for 16oz and $11.00 to $15.00 for 32oz. Cans are $2.50 to $4.00. Wines are $8 per glass. Cocktails are priced individually, with 64oz punch bowls at $24 and an optional Shark Attack shot add-on for $2.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a 24-tap draft system updated frequently through Untappd, a dedicated cocktail list with rotating frozen drinks, and large-format punch bowls at $24 gives Craft a broad beverage range. The $2 Shark Attack shot add-on for punch bowls is a specific, unusual option. Wines are uniformly priced at $8, simplifying choice.
