Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program leans into fruit-forward signature cocktails and a dedicated mocktail menu. The Reel Classics include Hook Punch with Malibu coconut, blue curaçao, and pineapple, plus Voodoo Lemonade with Cîroc Red Berry and strawberry purée. Margaritas range from the $7 house version to The Potion of the Ocean with Casamigos Reposado. Seven named mocktails and a tiered shot menu round out the list.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Hook Punch, a $12 blend of Malibu coconut, blue curaçao, and pineapple juice, or the Voodoo Lemonade with Cîroc Red Berry, tequila, strawberry purée, and lemonade. The Potion of the Ocean, a $17 margarita with Casamigos Reposado, tequila, and Cointreau, is the top-shelf pick. For a non-alcoholic option, the Lavender Lemonade is $5.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Guests who want a long, fruit-forward cocktail list with named ingredients and a separate shot menu will find plenty to choose from. The dedicated mocktail menu gives non-drinkers seven specific options rather than a single default.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour pricing applies to signature cocktails and draft beers, making that window a practical time to sample the list.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Signature cocktails run $9–$17, the house margarita is $7, and flavored margaritas add $1. Shot tiers are $7, $9, and $10. Mocktails are $5–$7, and happy hour draft beers are $4 for 16oz.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A dedicated mocktail menu with seven named Tropical Refreshers and frozen energy boost mocktails is unusual for a cocktail bar. The cocktail list is similarly specific, with named recipes across The Reel Classics, margaritas, frozen coladas, and a tiered shot menu.
