Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Erini Restaurant runs a beverage program that is broad rather than niche. The seasonal cocktail menu lists 15 drinks, from margaritas and cosmos to mules and tiki-style options, and a Tiki bar operates from April through October. The wine list exceeds 200 labels, with 10 whites and 8 reds by the glass and reserve reds reaching $630. The beer menu covers 12 drafts across five style categories, plus bottles and cans. A single mocktail and Heineken 0.0 cover non-alcoholic drinking.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Sunset Margarita, which uses El Tequileno Blanco, Cointreau, fresh sour, and a J. Lohr red wine float. For wine, the ELMO PIO Pinot Grigio at $12 or the J. LOHR RIVERSTONE Chardonnay at $14 are the by-the-glass entry points; the OPUS ONE 2017 at $630 is the reserve red benchmark. On draft, STONE IPA or ST. JAME'S GATE GUINNESS are solid picks.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups who want a single venue where some drink cocktails, others order wine by the glass, and others stick to draft beer. The seasonal Tiki bar from April through October adds an outdoor option. The non-alcoholic choices are limited but present for those not drinking.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the value window: signature drinks at $10, $9 Tito's martinis, $5 draft beers, and $1 off house wine by the glass. The Tiki bar is a seasonal draw from April through the end of October.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Wines by the glass run $11 to $15. Bottles span $24 to $630, with reserve reds like Opus One 2017 at $630 and Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 at $180. Draft beers are $6.50 to $7.50, bottles $5 to $6, cans $6 to $8. Happy hour cocktails are $10.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a 200-plus wine list with reserve reds up to $630 alongside a 15-cocktail seasonal menu and a Tiki bar that operates April through October. Few programs carry that wine depth while also running a rotating cocktail list and a full draft beer menu with 12 options across five style categories.
