Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
La Fe Wine Bar runs a beverage program built around choice: a wine list available by the glass or bottle, seven named cocktails priced $16.50–$19.50, and a Wine Club that delivers three premium bottles every other month for $165. Happy hour adds House Wine at $10, Well Cocktails at $9, and a Charcuterie Board & Bottle of Wine for $50. The cocktail section spans bourbon, tequila, rum, mezcal, gin, and vodka bases, while club members get two complimentary flights each month—White, Red, or Masvino.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Almanac—bourbon, brandy, both Angostura and orange bitters, a rinse of absinthe, and an orange peel. If you prefer tequila, the 50/50 Tequila Fashion uses reposado and añejo with simple syrup and bitters. For wine, the Charcuterie Board & Bottle of Wine at $50 during happy hour is a straightforward way to explore the list; ask your server for the current bottle selection.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- This suits drinkers who want a full bar with named cocktails alongside a wine list that works by the glass or bottle. Wine Club members receive recurring bottle distributions and monthly flights, making it a fit for regulars who want a structured way to explore the list. Happy hour pricing on House Wine, Well Cocktails, and draft beer adds appeal for casual visits.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is daily and lists House Wine at $10, Well Cocktails at $9, and Draft Beer at $6. Wine Club pickups occur in February, April, June, August, October, and December, with complimentary events for members and a guest. The Charcuterie Board & Bottle of Wine at $50 is a happy-hour option when you want to pair food with a bottle.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $16.50–$19.50, with the 50/50 Tequila Fashion at the top of that range. Happy hour lowers the entry point: Well Cocktails at $9, House Wine at $10, and Draft Beer at $6. The Charcuterie Board & Bottle of Wine is $50 during happy hour. Wine Club membership is $165 per distribution, excluding tax or shipping, every other month.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The Wine Club structure sets it apart: three premium bottles every other month for $165, two complimentary wine flights per month (White, Red, or Masvino), and pickup events for members plus one guest valued at $80. The cocktail list is similarly specific, with seven named drinks built on distinct spirit bases rather than a generic full-bar roster.
