Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program here is built for range rather than a single focus. The drinks menu carries 27 cocktails, including a barrel-aging program applied across gin, mezcal, rum, rye, and Scotch, plus house classics with spirit upgrades for $2. The wine list runs from $8 glasses to Cristal and Opus One, the beer list covers about 60 selections with Arkansas breweries marked, and the spirits list goes deep on bourbon and Scotch. It is a broad, well-stocked program that rewards choosing a direction rather than sampling across the whole page.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Barrel Aged Scottish Manhattan, made with Glenfiddich Caribbean, Angostura, and Antica Formula at $18, or the Lion's Tail with Woodford Reserve, Pimento Dram, fresh lemon, and a smoke finish at $15. If wine is the focus, the Sean Minor Reserve Cabernet at $10 a glass is a straightforward entry to the list.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants a full bar and a deep bottle list in the same place, whether the order is a barrel-aged cocktail, a Napa Cabernet, an Arkansas beer, or a pour of allocated bourbon.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $8 to $18, with Sweet & Fruity Martinis at $10 and spirit upgrades $2. Wine by the glass is $8 to $20; bottles run $18 to $550. Dessert wines by the glass are $10 and $15.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The barrel-aging program is applied across multiple spirit bases, not just one, and the spirits list pairs that with roughly 70 bourbons and whiskeys and a Scotch section that includes Lagavulin, The Macallan, and Johnnie Walker Blue. Arkansas breweries are marked throughout the beer list.
