The editorial take
Metropolitan Bar & Grill runs a full bar with a cocktail list that leans on sweet, fruit-forward margaritas and mules, plus a wine list with approachable picks from Prosecco to Malbec. Draft and bottle beers cover familiar ground, and mocktails are available. Brunch brings bottomless mimosas, and happy hour deals stretch the value. A few drinks, like the Cucumber Lime Mule, show restraint, but the program's strength is breadth and price.
- What should I order?
- For a balanced start, try the Cucumber Lime Mule with Pearl cucumber vodka and ginger beer. The Raspberry Margarita is a sweeter option, and the Jalapeno Margarita adds heat. Brunch calls for bottomless mimosas, and a glass of Tangent Sauvignon Blanc or Argento Malbec pairs with most plates.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail drinkers who favor fruit-forward, sweet margaritas will find familiar ground. Beer drinkers can stick to mainstream drafts and bottles. Wine drinkers seeking straightforward, affordable pours by the glass or bottle will be satisfied. The bottomless mimosa brunch appeals to groups.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour runs from 2 to 6, with drink specials and small bites. Sundays offer all-day happy hour. Brunch is the time for bottomless mimosas.

- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The bar's broad spirits selection spans gin, scotch, vodka, tequila, whiskey, and rum, with well-known brands like Macallan and Grey Goose. House cocktails use homemade syrups and mixes, such as the raspberry simple in the Raspberry Margarita and the Bloody Mary mix. Happy hour and brunch specials add value.
