The editorial take
Good Bar's beverage program starts with a cocktail list that runs from jello shots to $12 originals, using named spirits like Old Forester, El Jimador, and Roku gin. Wine by the glass is $10 across styles including Txakoli, Pinot Noir, and rosé Grenache/Syrah, and a sommelier-led club selects two bottles monthly. The non-alcoholic section is broader than most, with Phony Negroni, Ghia Ginger Le Spritz, and Trav's Blueberry Cooler.

- Start with the Spicy Bee's Knees, made with Queen's Reward honey habanero mead, Roku gin, Firewater tincture, and lemon. For a lower-proof option, the Ghia Ginger Le Spritz combines rosemary, ginger, and bubbles. Wine drinkers can choose any $10 by-the-glass pour.
