The editorial take
The beverage program is built around a 23-item signature cocktail list that names its spirits—Ketel One, Haku, 44 North Huckleberry, Cruzan, Makers Mark, and Day's Defile Idaho Bourbon among them. Prices run $9 to $18. Wine is a modest 18-bottle list with 7 whites, 7 reds, and 4 sparkling splits, plus a $4 corkage fee. Non-alcoholic options include fresh squeezed lemonade and milkshakes. Cocktails are the main event here, and the list is broad enough to cover martinis, margaritas, mules, mojitos, spritzes, and whiskey drinks.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Idaho Old Fashioned, made with Day's Defile Idaho Bourbon, aromatic and orange bitters, simple syrup, orange peel, and a bordeaux cherry over big rock ice. The Huckleberry Mule with 44 North Huckleberry vodka, ginger beer, and fresh lime is another specific local pour.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone looking for a broad cocktail list with recognizable spirits and a range of styles, from martinis to mules. Wine drinkers who want a small, straightforward by-the-glass list or plan to bring their own bottle will also find it useful.

- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
