How we score

The editorial take

MOTR Pub's brunch cocktails lean playful and savory, from the MOTR Mary's pepper-infused Titos and bacon garnish to the Ole Duck Blind's coffee-bourbon-maple mix. Prices stay friendly at $7–$10. Patrons note inexpensive beer-and-shot combos, like a $6 Old Style with whiskey. The program is modest but distinctive, with a local pub character.
