The editorial take
Goodwin's Speakeasy runs a 14-cocktail list built on branded spirits and house-made syrups and shrubs. The range covers whiskey, tequila, mezcal, gin, rum, and vodka, so there is a logical entry point for most drinkers. The Goodwins Old Fashioned uses Four Roses Bourbon and honey simple syrup, while the Ancho & Lefty pairs Del Maguey Vida Mezcal with Cynar and mole bitters. Guests mention the Spicy Margarita and a Southside gin cocktail; the broader list earns similar praise.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Goodwins Old Fashioned: Four Roses Bourbon, homemade honey simple syrup, Angostura and orange bitters. For an agave-forward alternative, the Ancho & Lefty combines Del Maguey Vida Mezcal, Cynar, ancho chile liquor, and mole bitters. The Pecan Praline, with TX Blended Whiskey and pecan roasted brown sugar syrup, is another named option.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a broad, branded cocktail list with recognizable spirits and house-made modifiers will find a clear path through whiskey, agave, gin, rum, and vodka bases. Guests who prefer a specific base spirit can choose from multiple named drinks rather than a single house pour.
- When should I go?
- The cocktail menu suits an evening visit when a full list of 14 named drinks is the main draw. No timing details are supported.
- What should I expect to spend?
- No pricing is available for the named cocktails, so a spend estimate cannot be given.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The list is unusually broad for a single menu, with 14 named cocktails spanning whiskey, tequila, mezcal, gin, rum, and vodka, and it leans on house-made syrups and shrubs rather than only standard modifiers.
