The editorial take
Cocktails carry the program here: 17-plus named drinks built on Elijah Craig, Buffalo Trace, Empress 1908, and Hoodoo espresso vodka, priced $13–$15, with a seasonal specialty list and $9 happy hour cocktails on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Wine runs seven labels by the glass or bottle, and beer stays in cans and bottles with a featured IPA. A dedicated non-alcoholic section lists three $5 mocktails plus a Sierra Nevada NA IPA.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Maple Bourbon Smash, built on Elijah Craig with maple syrup, maple extract, muddled orange, lemon juice, and soda, or the Old Fashioned with 2 oz. Buffalo Trace, sugar, bourbon cherry, and Angostura bitters.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a long cocktail list with recognizable spirits rather than a two-page wine program, and anyone seeking a composed non-alcoholic option instead of soda. Groups mixing cocktail drinkers, beer drinkers, and non-drinkers can all order from the same menu.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $13–$15, with Lemondrop martinis at $13 original and $14 for strawberry or peach. Beer is $5–$7, wine is listed by the glass and bottle, and every non-alcoholic drink is $5. Happy hour cocktails are $9.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The non-alcoholic section is a real list: Strawberry Lemonade with strawberry purée, Piña Colada with coconut purée, and lightly sweetened Iced Coffee with lactose-free milk, all $5, alongside a Sierra Nevada NA IPA. Few cocktail bars give that side of the menu three composed drinks.
