Cocktails stick to a house repertoire like the Haus Fashioned and espresso martinis, with Hoppy Hour deals that drop prices. Non-alcoholic drinkers get Athletic Brewing options and a reported cranberry-rosemary mocktail. Prosecco on draft and $5 house wine round out a program that leans beer-first but keeps variety.
