Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program leads with a substantial cocktail list: nine named drinks, a rotating cocktail, and house-made sangria by the pitcher. Wine spans white, red, sparkling, and rosé, from $30 by-the-glass options to a $770 Veuve Clicquot. Beer covers familiar lagers alongside Rodenbach Grand Cru and two non-alcoholic options. Spirits are the lightest category, supported by a Full Bar listing and guests who mention a well-made Black Manhattan.
- What should I order?
- Start with a Smoked Manhattan, made with Maker's Mark, Bacardi Gran Reserva 8, Martini & Rossi Sweet Vermouth, and Angostura Bitters. For something lighter, the AC Spritz combines Aperol, Grand Marnier, Cava, orange bitters, and club soda. The Lavender Martini and Lavender Mule both use Lily Ba Lavender Vodka.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Guests who want a broad cocktail list with recognizable spirits and a few floral or spritz options will find plenty here. Wine drinkers can choose from by-the-glass pours, sparkling, and a range of reds and whites. Beer drinkers have both standard lagers and a few less common picks.
- When should I go?
- The rotating cocktail and pitcher sangria suit group visits, while the by-the-glass wine list works for a drink before or after dinner. The bar can prepare a Black Manhattan when the mood calls for a spirit-forward order.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Wine prices range from $30 for Proverb Chardonnay or Proverb Pinot Grigio to $770 for Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut. Mid-range bottles include Orin Swift 8 Years in the Desert at $90 and Moet & Chandon Imperial Rose at $85. A corkage fee is listed.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail list balances recognizable classics with house-specific pours like the AC Gold, Lavender Martini, and Shipyard Margarita. The wine list reaches from $30 by-the-glass options to a $770 Veuve Clicquot, and the beer list includes Rodenbach Grand Cru alongside two non-alcoholic beers.
