How we score

The editorial take

Irish whiskey and draft beer carry this program. Sixteen Irish whiskeys are listed with distillery locations, spanning Midleton, Tullamore, Bushmills, Kilbeggan, Roe & Co, and more. The venue hosted The Pour 2025, the finals of the Best Guinness Pour in Central NY. Wine runs six whites and four reds.

What should I order?
Start with a pour from the Irish whiskey list. Midleton Rare represents Midleton Distillery in Co. Cork at the top of the range, while Tullamore XO Rum Cask brings a Tullamore Distillery expression with a rum-cask finish. On draft, Guinness Stout at 4.2% and Club Pilsner at 5% are both listed with ABVs.
Who will enjoy this place?
Drinkers who want a deep Irish whiskey list with named distilleries, and beer drinkers who care about ABV detail across draft, bottle, and can formats. Anyone seeking a non-alcoholic option has Guinness and Athletic Brewing in more than one format.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
The Irish whiskey list is the defining feature: sixteen bottles with distillery locations, from Bushmills in Co. Antrim to Midleton in Co. Cork. The venue also hosted The Pour 2025, the finals of the Best Guinness Pour in Central NY, presented by the AOH John C. Devereux Division 1.
