Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program at Gate 12 Bar & Grill leans on cocktails built from scratch in-house, with bartenders using seasonal garnishes and real fruit rather than mixers. Sunday brunch is described as including Bloody Marys. The nonalcoholic side is unusually broad for a restaurant list: eight options, including Dewberry Soda, Dr. Delicious, Pure Cane Lemonade, Texas Cane Cola, and Sarsaparilla Root Beer, all priced at $3.00, with Aquafina at $2.50. It is a straightforward setup that covers both drinking and nondrinking guests without fuss.
- What should I order?
- Start with a scratch-built cocktail, since the bar constructs each one in-house with real fruit and seasonal garnishes. For a nonalcoholic option, Pure Cane Lemonade or Texas Cane Cola are listed at $3.00. At Sunday brunch, a Bloody Mary is described as part of the offerings.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Guests who want a cocktail made from scratch rather than poured from a mix, and anyone looking for a broad set of nonalcoholic choices beyond the usual soda gun. The list suits groups where some are drinking and others are not, and brunch visitors who want a Bloody Mary alongside the meal.
- When should I go?
