The editorial take
Dovetail Bar runs a four-part cocktail menu — specialty, lavish, classic, and zero-proof — with brand-specific builds such as a Hine VSOP Sidecar and a Bristow Aged Gin Martinez. The wine list moves through sparkling, white, rosé & orange, and red from France, Portugal, Italy, California, South Africa, Austria, Oregon, Argentina, and Spain. Beer covers domestic and imported styles with an N/A option, and the zero-proof section extends into coffee drinks.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Hine Sidecar, built on Hine VSOP with Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao and lemon, or the Martinez with Bristow Aged Gin, Punt e Mes, Maraschino, and orange bitters. For a zero-proof pour, the Burro No Borracho uses Almave NA Tequila with ginger, lime, and soda.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a named-spirit cocktail list with classic and modern sections, plus a wine list that reaches sparkling, orange, and red across several countries. The zero-proof section gives non-drinkers three cocktails, coffee beverages, and an N/A beer rather than a single token option.
- When should I go?
- The venue is available to host events and cocktail classes, which suits a group booking or a hands-on session. Otherwise, treat it as a lobby bar stop for a cocktail before or after a meal.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $12 to $22, with coffee bar specialty cocktails at $13 to $15. Wine by the glass is $11 to $15, bottles $45 to $80. Zero-proof cocktails are $12 to $14, non-alcoholic specialty beverages $7.50 to $8.50, and beer $3 to $12.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The menu separates cocktails into specialty, lavish, classic, and zero-proof sections, and the zero-proof list is a real section with three named drinks rather than a courtesy item. Coffee beverages and an N/A beer widen the non-alcoholic side further. The wine list names producers and grape varieties across sparkling, white, rosé & orange, and red.
