Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
George’s #2 runs a bar program built around the Big “O” Cocktails section, where margaritas come in Platinum, Cadillac, House, Jalapeño, Skinny, Patrón, and frozen Mango with chamoy. The spirits list adds allocated bourbons like Blanton’s, Eagle Rare, and W.L. Weller, plus Texas whiskey from Balcones and Garrison Brothers. Beer covers a long bottled, canned, and draft roster with local options on rotation. Wine is a tight five-glass list, and nonalcoholic options are limited to two NA beers and juice.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Platinum Margarit“O”, made with Socorro Blanco Tequila and Jalisco 1562, served rocks or frozen. For a beer-and-cocktail hybrid, order the P“O”lar Beer, a Big “O” beer topped with a frozen margarita floater for a $2.00 upcharge. If bourbon is the target, ask for Blanton’s or Eagle Rare 10 Year.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Guests who want a deep margarita list, flavored frozen drinks, and a serious bourbon shelf will find plenty to work with. The beer roster covers local drafts and standard domestic cans. Wine drinkers get a compact by-the-glass selection, and nonalcoholic drinkers have two NA beers plus juice.
- When should I go?
- The bar menu promotes to-go drinks, so the cocktail program travels. Big “O” Cocktails and margaritas suit a group ordering rounds, while the spirits list and local draft rotation reward a slower visit.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Big “O” Cocktails run $10.00–$14.00, with margaritas from $9.00 for house to $13.00 for Patrón. Fruit flavor add-ons are $1.50 each, and the P“O”lar Beer upcharge is $2.00. Wine by the glass is $8.99 across the five listed options.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The Big “O” branding runs through the cocktail menu, from the Platinum and Cadillac margaritas to the Beer “O” Rit“O” that dunks a beer bottle into a frozen margarita. The spirits list mixes allocated bourbons like Blanton’s, Eagle Rare, and W.L. Weller with Texas whiskey from Balcones and Garrison Brothers.
