Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program here leans hardest on beer. The Lazy Dog Beer Club ships an 8-pack quarterly kit of four beers brewed with partner breweries, adds a monthly draft sampler in the restaurant, and lets members upgrade 16oz drafts to 22oz. Huckleberry Haze IPA is a featured pour, and Release No. Cocktails run from the featured Smoked Bacon Old Fashioned to the Sloshie frozen cocktail introduced in May 2025 and a Spiced Apple Smash recipe. A $6 brunch mimosa is a straightforward value.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Huckleberry Haze IPA if you want the featured beer, or a pour from a Beer Club release if one is on draft. On the cocktail side, the Smoked Bacon Old Fashioned is the featured item, and the Sloshie is the frozen option introduced in May 2025. The $6 mimosa is the brunch pick.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who want a rotating draft lineup and a membership structure with quarterly kits, monthly samplers, and draft upgrades. Cocktail drinkers looking for a featured Old Fashioned variation, a frozen Sloshie, or a Spiced Apple Smash. Brunch visitors who want a six-dollar mimosa alongside the meal.
- When should I go?
- Brunch is a supported occasion — a recent customer ordered a $6 mimosa during a brunch visit. Beer Club members get priority seating, which matters when the dining room is busy.
- What should I expect to spend?
- A mimosa was reported at $6 during brunch. Beer Club membership carries a $39 credit toward a first beer kit, and members receive 10% off takeout and delivery orders, including beer to go.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The Lazy Dog Beer Club is the anchor: an 8-pack quarterly kit with four uniquely brewed beers from partner breweries, a monthly draft beer sampler in the restaurant, 16oz-to-22oz draft upgrades, 10% off takeout and delivery including beer to go, and priority seating. Images document six specific beers from Beer Club Release No. 31.
