Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Frost pairs a New York-style lounge vibe with a beverage program that swings from house-made mixers to rare bourbons. The cocktail list leans creative—espresso martinis in five variations, a pineapple bombtini, and dessert drinks like Not Your Grandma's Ovaltine. Wine runs from Mosel Riesling to Dom Perignon, while the spirits list reaches Pappy Van Winkle and Louis XIII. It's a lot of ambition for one bar; the execution, per limited community chatter, lands well, though prices draw complaints.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Earl's Market Way or Smoky Bell for a house-mixer showcase. Espresso martini fans have five variations to choose from. For a splurge, the Ultimate Bourbon Flight or a glass of something rare from the Coravin list.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail explorers who like creative menus and spirit collectors drawn to rare pours. The speakeasy lounge and live piano suggest a crowd comfortable with a dress code and a higher tab.
- When should I go?
- Evenings suit the lounge atmosphere; happy hour runs daily with craft cocktails, wines, and beers, making it a practical entry point.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a deep wine list with Coravin pours, a rare spirits collection, and a cocktail menu built on local fruits and herbs sets Frost apart. The five espresso martini variations and dedicated mocktail menu add breadth rarely seen in one lounge.
