Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Hansen’s Hall runs a broad beverage program with a dedicated cocktail section, a substantial draft and packaged beer list, and an unusually complete non-alcoholic selection. Cocktails range from $8 to $14 and include spirit-forward and shaken options, with happy hour discounts on select drinks. Beer leans on Michigan breweries and covers lagers, IPAs, cider, and seltzer. Wine is limited to three by-the-glass pours, but the zero-proof section spans cocktails, beer, wine, and hop water.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Jon Draper, a bourbon and Angostura drink with an optional big cube, or the Last Word if you want gin, Green Chartreuse, and Luxardo. For beer, the Kuhnhenn DRIPA is a 9.5% double rice IPA served in a 10oz pour. The St. Agrestis Phony Negroni covers a zero-proof order.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone building a round for a mixed group, including non-drinkers, will find something here. Beer drinkers who want Michigan drafts and cocktail drinkers who prefer classics both have clear options.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the value window, with $8 Mule and Jon Draper cocktails, $1 off all draft beer, and a $7 rosé.
- What should I expect to spend?

- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The non-alcoholic section is not an afterthought: it lists zero-proof cocktails, beer, sparkling wine, aperitivo, and hop water alongside the full bar menu.
