The editorial take
Hell's Kitchen Inc. Runs a serious beverage program beneath its brunch reputation. House-infused spirits drive creative cocktails like the chipotle-orange Hell's Classic Bloody and the cucumber-gin Snappy Bloody. The beer list leans heavily on Minnesota breweries, and the non-alcoholic lineup includes mocktails and THC seltzers. A five-dollar digestif list adds a late-night touch. The program is broad, playful, and locally rooted.
