The editorial take
Gruene Tini's is a martini lounge and cocktail bar with a menu of over 25 martinis split into Savory and Classic, Dessert in a Glass, and Candy and Fruity sections. A separate craft cocktail list covers Old Fashioned, Espresso Martini, Negroni, Manhattan, mules, and margaritas. Martinis run $10–$11, craft cocktails $10–$12, and an Old Fashioned can be ordered with a $1.00 smoke addition. Wine and beer are straightforward, with daily happy hour discounts across the board.
- What should I order?
- The Classic Tini, made with vodka or Organic Prairie Gin and served dirty or dry, is the martini list's anchor at $10. For a dessert-leaning pour, the Andes Mint Tini combines chocolate vodka, Smirnoff vanilla vodka, crème de cocoa light, crème de menthe, and cream at $11.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Martini drinkers who want a long flavor list—savory, classic, dessert, candy, and fruity—will find the most to work with. The craft cocktail section also suits guests who prefer an Old Fashioned, Negroni, Manhattan, or Espresso Martini.
- When should I go?
- Daily happy hour brings discounts on martinis, craft cocktails, wine by the glass and bottle, and beer, making it the most economical window for a round.
- What should I expect to spend?

- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The martini list is the draw: over 25 options segmented into Savory and Classic, Dessert in a Glass, and Candy and Fruity sections. A separate craft cocktail menu runs alongside it, and the Old Fashioned can be ordered with an optional smoke addition for $1.00.
