Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Dauphin’s runs a beverage program that leans on a broad wine list and a tidy roster of $9 happy hour cocktails. Six named drinks, including a Dauphin’s Manhattan with Bulleit Rye and Carpano Antica, show clear attention to spirit and modifier choices. The wine list moves from $10 glasses to a $475 Heitz Martha’s Vineyard Cabernet, with half-off glasses and bottles up to $100 during happy hour.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Dauphin’s Manhattan, built on Bulleit Rye with Carpano Antica and Luxardo cherries. For wine, the Duckhorn Chardonnay at $19 a glass or $74 a bottle is a solid step up from the $10 Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc. The Top Floor Margarita with Herradura Reposado and a Grand Marnier floater is another $9 option.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- This program suits drinkers who want a real wine list with glass and bottle choices across price tiers, plus a cocktail list that names its spirits and modifiers. The $9 happy hour cocktails and $3 domestic and import beers make it easy for a group with mixed preferences.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the clear value window: six craft cocktails at $9 each, domestic and import beers at $3, craft beers at $5, house pours at $5, and half off wine glasses and bottles up to $100.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Happy hour cocktails are $9 each, house pours $5, domestic and import beers $3, and craft beers $5. Wine by the glass runs $10 to $19, with bottles from $40 to $475; happy hour takes half off glasses and bottles up to $100.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a six-drink craft cocktail list at a flat $9 happy hour price and a wine list that reaches from a $10 glass to a $475 Heitz Martha’s Vineyard Cabernet gives the program unusual range for its setting.
