The editorial take
Field House pairs a 12-item specialty cocktail menu with a draft-heavy beer list and premium wine by the glass. Bar manager Nick Diaz steers a program that leans on recognizable labels like Woodford Reserve and Casamigos. The Old Fashioned has earned guest praise. Wine covers Chardonnay to Champers, and non-alcoholic options include two NA beers. A capable, crowd-pleasing bar rather than a boundary-pushing one.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Field House Old Fashioned, a $16 mix of Woodford Reserve bourbon, sugar, and aromatic and orange bitters. It is the program's most endorsed cocktail. For something brighter, the Paloma Con Tequila pairs Casamigos Blanco with grapefruit and lime. Draft drinkers should consider the Elysian Space Dust IPA at $10.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want familiar, well-made cocktails without experimentation will find steady ground. Wine drinkers have access to recognizable premium labels in both glass and bottle formats. Beer fans can work through a draft list that includes regional craft names like Firestone Walker and Barrel House. The range makes it a safe group destination.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Specialty cocktails run $14 to $16. Draft beers sit between $7 and $10, with bottles and cans slightly lower. Wine by the glass ranges from $12 to $34. Non-alcoholic beers cost $6, and standard soft drinks or coffee run $3.99.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The beverage program spans more ground than the typical restaurant bar: a 12-cocktail specialty list, a draft beer section with local and regional craft breweries, and a wine list with premium labels like Veuve Clicquot and Caymus. Bar manager Nick Diaz has overseen the program since the venue opened in 2015. Field House has won multiple reader-poll awards in The Bee's Best of Central California.
