Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program at Highball Lanes leans on a seasonal cocktail list built with named spirits like Lunazul Blanco Tequila, Four Roses Bourbon, Empress Gin, and Hennessy. Eight wines by the glass cover sparkling through red, and seven beers on tap mix domestic, craft, and local options. A mocktail is available at $8, and happy hour brings cocktails, wine, and tap beer down in price.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Melted Popsicle, which combines Cathead Bitter Orange Vodka, Creme de Violette, and sour for $12 on the Autumn 2026 menu, or $9 at happy hour. The Side Piece, made with Four Roses Bourbon, lemon juice, and honey simple syrup, is a straightforward $14 option. If you want the bartender to decide, the $9 Spare Shot is the call.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- People who want a full spread of drink options rather than a single focus will find cocktails, wine, and beer all represented. The mocktail at $8 gives non-drinkers a defined choice. Happy hour pricing on cocktails, wine, and tap beer makes an early stop practical.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the clear play, with $9 Melted Popsicle, $8 wines, and $3 select domestics and tap beers on the June 2026 menu. The Autumn 2026 cocktail list is the current reference for full-price orders.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $9 to $14 on the Autumn 2026 menu, with the mocktail at $8. Wines by the glass are $9 to $12, and tap beers are $6 to $10. Happy hour drops the Melted Popsicle to $9, wine to $8, and select domestics and tap beers to $3.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail list names its spirits rather than hiding behind generic descriptions, spanning Lunazul Blanco Tequila, Cathead Bitter Orange Vodka, Four Roses Bourbon, Bacardi White Rum, Empress Gin, and Hennessy. A bartender's choice option at $9 and a mocktail at $8 round out the menu, while the wine and beer lists stay broad without overshooting.
