Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
A pub with a beverage program that leans heavily on its English-pub identity. The beer list carries the room: draught standards, bottles and cans, flights, and daily pint specials. Cocktails run from signature and seasonal sections to a rotating $7 happy-hour pour, and a mocktail list covers the non-alcoholic side. Wine spans sparkling through red with producers like The Pinot Project and Masserie Dugento. Spirits is the thinnest corner, limited to well liquor and Scotch samplers.
- What should I order?
- Start with a draught pour from the English and Irish side: Belhaven Scottish Ale, Smithwick's Irish Ale, or Old Speckled Hen. For a cocktail, the Bulliet bourbon with Toschi cherry syrup and orange bitters is a straightforward order. The mocktail list is worth a look for a no-alcohol round.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who want a broad draught and bottle selection, groups mixing cocktails and pints, and anyone seeking a mocktail alongside a full bar.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour runs daily for the rotating cocktail special and pint pricing, both dine-in only.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Happy hour pints are $5.00 for 16oz and $6.00 for 20oz. The rotating cocktail special is $7.00, mocktails run $6.00 to $8.00, and well liquor is $5.00 during happy hour.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The beer program spans draught, bottles, cans, and four serving formats including a 4-4oz flight, with a non-alcoholic section that extends to Guinness Zero and Corona Non-Alcoholic.
