Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
- What should I order?
- Ask for the two-glass comparison the staff runs nightly; it is the fastest way to understand the list.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Curious wine drinkers, including beginners. The room rewards questions.
- When should I go?
- Tuesday and Wednesday, when the owner is usually on the floor.
- What should I expect to spend?
- $45–$70 per person.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A by-the-glass program that changes weekly without ever feeling arbitrary — every pour is there to make a point.

How it sits with the food
The small plates are built around acidity and salt, which is exactly what the list needs; pairings are suggested but never forced.
Inebrious does not score kitchens, food or the restaurant overall. We review the beverage program only.
