Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program at Fire & Ice spreads across five categories with real depth in spirits and wine. The Snifter Collection pours Macallan 18, Johnnie Walker Blue, and Gran Patron Burdeos at individual prices, while the cellar list reaches Opus 1 and Caymus. Cocktails run from the Buffalo Trace-based Buffalo Standard to frozen margaritas and mules; mocktails and a broad bottled beer list fill out the rest.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Buffalo Standard, a $15 handcrafted classic built on Buffalo Trace, demerara syrup, and bitters. For a spirit-forward pour, the Snifter Collection's Blanton's at $17 or Macallan 18 at $55 are both listed with prices. The wine list offers Trinity Oaks by the glass at $7 and a cellar bottle of Opus 1 at $490 if the table is going that direction.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a broad spirits list with named brands across whiskey, scotch, rum, and tequila, plus a wine list that spans by-the-glass value and high-end cellar bottles. The cocktail and frozen drink selection also suits groups looking for variety at the $10–$15 mark.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour offers $5 house spirits, $5 house wine, and $6 draft beers, making it a straightforward early-evening option for a drink before dinner.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails $10–$15, frozen drinks $10, mules $10, mocktails $7, wine by the glass $7–$12, bottles $40–$490, beer $5–$8, and snifter pours from $12 up to $79. Happy hour pricing drops house drinks and wine to $5.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The Snifter Collection is the differentiator: a priced list of whiskey, scotch, rum, brandy, and tequila pours that runs from Ron Zacapa Centenario at $12 to Gran Patron Burdeos at $79. The wine cellar list, topping out with Opus 1 at $490, gives the program a second high-end anchor beyond cocktails.
