Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
McMenamins Tavern on the Square runs a beverage program built around house-made products: Edgefield wines, Anderson School Brewery beers, and McMenamins spirits. Two cocktail menus document ten named drinks across margaritas, martinis, mules, an Old Fashioned, and rum punches. The wine list spans red, white, rosé, and bubbles with 6-oz, 9-oz, bottle, and to-go formats. On tap, the brewery pours its own ales, cider, and lager. Non-alcoholic sections cover mocktails, NA sparkling cans, tea, and soda.
