The editorial take
Dad's pours a dozen cocktails at $13–$14, from a rum-and-tropical Miami Vice to a Mezcal Last Word that earns its praise. The wine list covers familiar glass pours and bottles like Orin Swift Papillon and Veuve Clicquot, while the beer menu spans IPA to cider. Cocktails are the draw here, with clear, balanced builds and a local ATL Mule.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Mezcal Last Word, a smoky twist on the classic with maraschino, lime, and piña that a reviewer singled out. If you prefer something sweeter, the Miami Vice layers rum, toasted coconut, pineapple, and strawberry at $14.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail drinkers who like a broad menu of classics and creative riffs will find plenty to work through. Wine drinkers have a serviceable by-the-glass list, and beer fans can pick from a wide range of styles.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail menu balances classics like the French 75 and Old Fashioned with playful builds such as the Cheerwine Manhattan and an Appletini made with acid-adjusted Granny Smith apples. The Mezcal Last Word's piña note sets it apart from the standard version.
