Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Grounded runs a beverage program that leans on range and approachability rather than depth in any single category. The wine list rotates through natural bottles sourced locally and internationally, with a $33 Board & Bottle pairing a small nosh board with a select red or white. Beer covers IPAs, wheat ales, and a Mexican lager at $5 each, plus a $6 seasonal. The nonalcoholic side is unusually broad, with La Croix, Olipop, Jamaica Sun Tea, matcha, chai, golden milk, reishi cacao, and loose leaf tea.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Board & Bottle at $33 if you want a small nosh board with a select red or white wine. For beer, Desert Fog and Hazy IPA are both listed at $5. Nonalcoholic drinkers can order Jamaica Sun Tea or a La Croix at $3.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- People who want a broad, low-commitment beverage list will find plenty here. Beer drinkers get multiple named styles at $5, nonalcoholic drinkers get a deep tea and soda selection, and wine drinkers who prefer to ask about current natural options will fit the menu's format.
- When should I go?
- The mimosa is listed at $6.50 per glass or $30 per bottle, which suits a morning or early afternoon occasion. The Board & Bottle at $33 works as a light shared stop rather than a full meal.
