The editorial take
Manny's Sports Bar puts its beverage focus on a long, sports-themed cocktail list backed by named spirits like Elijah Craig Rye, Lunazul Blanco, and Teeling Irish Whiskey. The drink menu also covers canned and bottled wine, a broad beer selection with rotating drafts, and a dedicated nonalcoholic section that includes N/A beers and THC cocktails. Cocktails are priced $9–$12, with signature shots at $6–$8. The program leans toward variety and approachable pricing rather than deep specialization.
- What should I order?
- Start with The Mannyhattan, a $12 mix of Elijah Craig Rye, Foro Amaro, and two bitters served over an ice sphere. For a lighter pour, the $10 Fourth and Mule uses Teeling Irish Whiskey and ginger beer. The $10 Pickle Six Martini brings a savory option with cucumber-dill infused Wheatley vodka.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone looking for a broad drink menu with clearly named spirits and approachable prices. Groups will find something for different preferences, and the nonalcoholic and THC sections give non-drinkers more than a token choice.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Signature Craft Cocktails are $9–$12, Featured Cocktails are $9–$11, and Signature Shots are $6–$8. Beer and wine prices are not listed in the menu details.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail names lean into sports and team themes, and the list goes beyond standard bar drinks with options like a pickle-flavored martini and a THC spirit cocktail. The menu also gives equal billing to nonalcoholic and THC drinks alongside full-strength options.
