The editorial take
Gigglewaters pairs a film-screening room with a cocktail program that leans hard on bourbon. The 1919, a pre-Prohibition Old Fashioned built on Four Roses, is the fan favorite, and the menu's film-inspired names carry the theme. Fresh juices and premium ingredients back a range from $9 to $25. Wine, beer, and a serious mocktail list round out the program for non-bourbon drinkers.
- What should I order?
- Start with The 1919, the pre-Prohibition Old Fashioned with Four Roses bourbon, Demerara, bitters, Luxardo cherry, and a flamed orange peel. It is the signature pour and a customer favorite. If you want something smokier, The Black Ship trades the orange for a smoking rosemary sprig.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Bourbon drinkers will find multiple Old Fashioned variations. Film buffs will appreciate the movie-themed specialty cocktails. The dedicated mocktail menu, including a zero-proof hibiscus margarita, makes it a good stop for designated drivers and non-drinkers.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $9 to $25, with most around $13-$14. Wine by the glass is $7-$14, bottles $25-$49. Beer is $4.50-$7. Mocktails are $9-$11.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail menu is inspired by films screened at the venue, a concept that ties the bar to its cinema side. The 1919, a pre-Prohibition Old Fashioned, anchors a bourbon-forward list that also includes creative twists like The Black Ship with Dow's Tawny Port and spiced maple syrup.
