Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
A prime steakhouse chain's beverage program shows real ambition: a cocktail list that runs from a smoked old fashioned to a clarified margarita, a sommelier-led wine bar with flights and two-ounce pours, and a zero-proof section with Seedlip-based builds. Social Hour brings $9 cocktails and wines nightly. The wine list is being updated, but what's on the menu now is serious.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Signature Smoked Old Fashioned, a Basil Hayden bourbon build with five-spice syrup. The clarified A Cut Above margarita is a cleaner take. For a splurge, the Jones Street Manhattan uses WhistlePig rye. Zero-proof drinkers should try the Herb Your Enthusiasm, a Lyre's-based mocktail.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail drinkers who appreciate craft technique and premium spirits will find plenty to explore. Wine enthusiasts can work through flights and pours from iconic producers. Those avoiding alcohol are well served by a dedicated zero-proof menu. Bar regulars will appreciate the nightly Social Hour value.
- When should I go?
- After dinner, the salted caramel espresso martini and after-dinner mint are designed as nightcaps.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Main-menu cocktails range from $17 to $28. Zero-proof cocktails are $13, or $17 with a spirit added. Wine pours run $9 to $75 for six ounces, with two-ounce pours and flights available. Social Hour cocktails and wines are $9 each.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The drink program is built for both depth and accessibility: a sommelier-led wine bar with flights like 'Pretty in Pink,' a cocktail list that includes an olive-oil-washed vodka martini, and a zero-proof program that uses Seedlip and Lyre's rather than afterthoughts. Social Hour makes the craft approach approachable.
