Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Goosefeather's bar program leans on an ambitious original cocktail list: sesame-washed tequila, banana-infused rye, butterfly pea gin. A strong wine list covers sparklers to Super Tuscans, and the beer roster includes local cider. Brunch adds bottomless cocktails. The nonalcoholic menu is equally considered, with several zero-proof builds and Athletic beers.
- What should I order?
- Start with The Anthem, a butterfly pea gin cocktail cut with Suze, pamplemousse, Montenegro, and lemon. For a darker turn, Party Up layers vodka, coffee liqueur, Averna, espresso, and ube foam. Wine drinkers should consider the Altesino Super Tuscan by the glass.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail drinkers who appreciate inventive flavor combinations and a broad spirit range will find plenty to explore. Wine enthusiasts can work through a varied by-the-glass list, and the nonalcoholic options give designated drivers a real menu rather than an afterthought.
- When should I go?
- Brunch is the occasion for bottomless cocktails at $40 per person for 90 minutes, with options like Goosefeather Sangria and Bellini. Evenings suit the full original cocktail list.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Original cocktails run $19–$22; wines by the glass $15–$20, bottles $60–$96; beers $7–$10; nonalcoholic cocktails $13–$16.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail program leans into theatrical ingredients—ube foam, sesame-washed tequila, banana-infused rye—while the wine list stays grounded with recognizable regions. A $40 bottomless brunch adds a social, high-volume option that few cocktail bars attempt.
