Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Marble Room's beverage program is a serious, sprawling operation: a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence for five straight years, a cocktail list that runs from $15 classics to $1,000 flights, and a private label single barrel spirits collection. Zero-proof options get equal care, with Aplós functional spirits and four labeled ZP cocktails. The breadth is impressive, but the proof is in the pours.
- What should I order?
- Start with a Marble Room Manhattan or the seasonal Pear French 76. For the committed, the Rare Eagle Rare Flight ($1,000) is the showpiece. Non-alcoholic drinkers should try the Aplós Ease or a ZP Spritz.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Whiskey enthusiasts chasing rare pours and wine collectors who respect a Best of Award of Excellence list. Also, designated drivers and sober-curious guests: the zero-proof program is unusually thorough.
- When should I go?
- Evenings when you want the full raw bar and steakhouse experience; the beverage program is built for long dinners and special occasions.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails $16-$20; single barrel pours $18-$30; flights $40-$1,000; non-alcoholic cocktails $12-$13; wines by the glass from $12.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The private label single barrel program—Eagle Rare, La Caza, Woodinville, Maker's Mark—is a rare commitment. The $1,000 Eagle Rare flight and a sommelier-curated water menu underline the ambition.
