Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Las Brisas runs a beverage program with real range. The cocktail list carries 11 named drinks, from a Bee's Knees to a Red & Black Manhattan, plus flavored Chiltons and Lemon Drops and after-dinner options. The wine side is broad by the glass and unusually deep in ports and dessert wines, with a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence on display. It is a steakhouse program built for choice, not a single signature pour.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Red & Black Manhattan, a bourbon drink with Amaro, sweet vermouth, and walnut bitters, or the Lorenzo, a reposado tequila old fashioned with chocolate bitters. On the wine side, the Taylor Fladgate 30 Year Tawny is a standout by the glass.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Guests who want a full bar with a long cocktail list and a wine selection that covers sparkling, white, red, and dessert wines by the glass. The port and tawny options suit anyone who finishes with something sweet.
- When should I go?
- Anytime you want a cocktail before dinner or a glass of wine with a steak. The after-dinner cocktails and ports make it a reasonable stop for a final drink.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of an 11-cocktail signature list and a wine program recognized by Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence from 2009 to 2018 and again in 2024. The port and dessert wine selection by the glass is deeper than most steakhouse lists.
