Review methodology and evidence standardsThe editorial take
The beverage program here is anchored by its non-alcoholic list, which runs two full menu sections: sodas, iced tea, lemonade, cranberry, ginger beer, Shirley Temple and Roy Rogers, plus juices, milk and a Virgin Bloody Mary. Guests have called the beer inexpensive, citing Modelo by price.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Virgin Bloody Mary at $6.25 if you want something with structure and no alcohol. Otherwise the $3.95 Ginger Beer or an Arnold Palmer covers the same ground for less. On the bar side, Modelo is the beer customers cite when they call the pricing inexpensive.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups with mixed drinking habits, since the non-alcoholic list is broad enough that someone skipping alcohol is not stuck with soda and water. Beer drinkers watching the tab will find the pricing friendly.
- When should I go?
- A reasonable stop for a casual meal when part of the table wants a cocktail or draft beer and part wants something non-alcoholic.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Modest. Sodas, ginger beer, Shirley Temple and Roy Rogers are $3.95, the Virgin Bloody Mary is $6.25, and customers describe the beer as inexpensive.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Two separate non-alcoholic menu sections — one for soda, one for juice and milk — is more range than most restaurant bars bother with, and the Virgin Bloody Mary gives that list an actual mixed drink rather than another soft drink.
