Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Frolik Kitchen + Cocktails runs a beverage program that covers a lot of ground without spreading itself thin. The dinner menu carries 12 named craft cocktails priced $18–$24, built on spirits like Ilegal mezcal, Widow Jane rye, and Lalo tequila. Wine spans sparkling, white, and red by glass and bottle, with Washington and Oregon labels alongside French Champagne. Local breweries anchor the beer list, and non-alcoholic drinkers get three zero-proof cocktails plus non-alcoholic beer. Cocktail service runs from breakfast through happy hour, making the bar a consistent option across the day.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Golden Smoke—Ilegal mezcal, Aperol, Licor 43, pineapple, and lime at $20—or the Campfire Old Fashioned with Elijah Craig, crème de cacao, amaro mele, and chocolate black walnut bitters. For wine, the Ponzi Vineyards Pinot Noir by the glass at $22 brings Willamette Valley character.

- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
