Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
A 30-foot bar anchors a drinks program with four explicitly built classics: The Old Fashioned, The Mary Pickford, The French '75, and The Bee's Knees. Beyond cocktails, the tap list reaches 20 beers, and the spirits side comes from a craft distillery where brandy and rum are chosen for rich, complex profiles. Wine is present but described only as unique. The room pairs a password-driven still-taste possibility with a broad set of drinking options, from mixed drinks to draft and straight spirits.
- What should I order?
- Start with The French '75, built on gin, lemon juice, champagne, and simple syrup, or The Bee's Knees if you want gin, lemon, and honey. For a darker route, The Old Fashioned uses rye whiskey, bitters, simple syrup, and fruit. The Mary Pickford brings light rum, pineapple juice, and grenadine.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- People who want a defined cocktail list rather than an open-ended bar menu, and drinkers who move between drafts and spirits. The 20 taps and craft-distillery angle suit groups where one person wants a mixed drink and another wants beer or a pour of brandy or rum.
- When should I go?
- A stop for a first drink before settling in, or a later round when the bar's range matters more than a single style. The password and still-taste element makes it a deliberate destination rather than an incidental one.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Pricing is not detailed in the approved information, so cost depends on what you choose from the cocktail, beer, wine, and spirits sections. The 20-tap list and four named cocktails give clear anchors for comparing spend across drink types.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a 30-foot bar, four named classic cocktails, 20 beers on tap, and a craft distillery with brandy and rum selected for rich, complex profiles. The password element, with the possibility of tasting liquor straight from the still, is a specific draw that goes beyond a standard drinks list.
