Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The drinking here splits cleanly in two. One side is a draft and package beer program with imports, specialty brews and ciders, rotating craft listings with ABV and origin, and a pint special attached to most days of the week. The other is a cocktail sheet of eight named house creations built across vodka, gin, rum, tequila, whiskey and liqueurs, reproduced on the lunch and dinner specials. Wine runs to recognizable labels by glass or bottle, and there are three zero-proof beers for anyone skipping alcohol.
- What should I order?
- Start with one of the named house cocktails — Kevin's Irish Coldbrew, built on Jameson's Irish Whiskey, Bailey's Irish Cream and Hill Road Roasters cold brew in an Irish coffee mug, or Chrissy's Spicy Margarita with jalapeno infused tequila. On the beer side, Fiddlehead IPA is on draft and carries a Friday pint price.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants a full draft list and a house cocktail sheet in the same visit, and groups where one person is drinking a Fiddlehead IPA while another orders Madison's Espresso Martini. The three zero-proof beers give a non-drinking guest a real choice rather than a default.
- When should I go?
- The draft specials are assigned to specific days: Miller Lite on Sundays and Thursdays, Yuengling Lager on Mondays, Blue Moon on Tuesdays, Labatt Blue on Wednesdays, and Fiddlehead IPA on Fridays. PBR holds at $2 pints every day.
- What should I expect to spend?
- PBR runs $2 pints daily, Yuengling Lager hits $2.75 on Fridays and $3 on Mondays, Miller Lite and Labatt Blue are $3 on their days, Blue Moon is $3.75 on Tuesdays, and Fiddlehead IPA is $5 for a pint or $6 for a 20oz tall glass on Fridays.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The house cocktails are credited creations with names attached — Meg's Bubblicious, Heather's Wharf Rat, Chad's LA Iced Tea, Amy's Green Eyed Ginger, Gweedo's Blue Flamingo, Kevin's Irish Coldbrew, Chrissy's Spicy Margarita and Madison's Espresso Martini — and that same list is reproduced on the lunch and dinner specials rather than living only at the bar.
Beverage categories
We only score what a venue sets out to do. Categories a venue doesn't attempt are left unscored rather than penalized.
Cocktails
Eight named house cocktail creations with specific spirit and modifier lists, spanning vodka, gin, rum, tequila, whiskey and liqueurs. The same list is reproduced on the lunch and dinner specials PDFs, so it is not a bar-only sheet. Builds range from a jalapeno-infused margarita to a cold brew Irish coffee.
Menu strengths
- — Eight credited house creations, each with a named builder and a defined spirit and modifier list.
- — The creations list is reproduced on both the lunch and dinner specials, not just the bar page.
- — Spirit base runs across vodka, gin, rum, tequila, whiskey and liqueurs rather than one well.
Standout selections
- — Kevin's Irish Coldbrew — Jameson's Irish Whiskey, Bailey's Irish Cream and Hill Road Roasters cold brew, served in an Irish coffee mug with whipped cream and nutmeg.
- — Chrissy's Spicy Margarita — a traditional margarita with jalapeno infused tequila and a fresh jalapeno garnish.
- — Madison's Espresso Martini — espresso vodka, vanilla vodka, Hill Road Roasters cold brew and coffee beans.
- — Chad's LA Iced Tea — vodka, gin, rum, melon liqueur, triple sec, sweet n sour and a splash of Sprite.
Wine
A wine selection offered by the bottle or by the glass, naming Woodbridge, Beringer, Barefoot, Cavit, Sutter Home, Riunite and La Marca. The same selection appears on the lunch and dinner specials PDFs. Woodbridge supplies sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and riesling; the rest of the list is familiar grocery-shelf labels.
Menu strengths
- — Both bottle and glass formats are offered across the selection.
- — Seven labels named, with Woodbridge contributing three separate varietal listings.
- — The wine selection is reproduced on the lunch and dinner specials, matching the bar page.
Standout selections
- — La Marca Prosecco in a 187ml format, the only sparkling listing named.
- — Cavit Pinot Grigio, listed in the wine selection.
- — Woodbridge Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Riesling, listed under Wines by Woodbridge.
Beer
The deepest part of the program: draft, bottles and cans, imports, specialty brews and ciders. Rotating craft beers and ciders are listed with ABV and origin, and draft specials are assigned to specific days with pint prices. Guinness, Smithwicks, Fat Heads Headhunter, Firestone Union Jack, Fiddlehead and Downeast Pomegranate Cider are all on draft.
Menu strengths
- — Draft specials published by day with specific pint prices rather than a generic happy hour.
- — Draft, bottles and cans, imports, and specialty brews and ciders all represented.
Standout selections
- — Fiddlehead IPA on draft, $5 pints or $6 for a 20oz tall glass on Fridays.
- — Smithwicks Irish Red Ale on draft.; Fat Heads Headhunter IPA and Firestone Union Jack IPA, both on draft.
Nonalcoholic
Three named zero-proof beers: Guinness Zero, Heineken 0 and Michelob Ultra Zero. Heineken 0 and Guinness Zero are listed among the imports, while Michelob Ultra Zero sits with the bottles and cans. The range is narrow and entirely beer, but each option is a specific named product.
Menu strengths
- — Three distinct non-alcoholic brands rather than a single token option.
- — Guinness Zero and Heineken 0 are listed among the imports alongside their full-strength counterparts.
Standout selections
- — Guinness Zero (NA), listed among imports.; Heineken 0 (NA), listed among imports.
- — Michelob Ultra Zero, listed among bottles and cans.
Spirits
One named bottling anchors this category: Redbreast 12 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, listed as now available on the bar page. Beyond that, the bar page states it offers spirits alongside imported and domestic beers, craft beers, cocktails and wines. The category is deliberately light.
Menu strengths
- — A named Irish whiskey bottling with an age statement and a defined style, not a generic whiskey listing.
Standout selections
- — Redbreast 12 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, listed as now available on the bar page.
