Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Moxie Wood Fire Grill runs a beverage program that leans heavily on breadth. The cocktail menu splits into Signature Cocktails, Martinis, Classic Cocktails, and Mules, with prices from $7 to $40. The spirits list covers bourbon, Scotch, tequila/mezcal, gin, rum, vodka, cognac, and cordials, including allocated bottles and flights. Wine by the glass and bottle spans red, white, sparkling, rosé, and port, with Coravin pours and high-end bottles. Six mocktails round out the zero-proof side.
- What should I order?
- Start with a Moxie Old Fashioned ($14) or the Smoked Old Fashion Bacon ($18) from the signature list. For spirits, the Weller Flight ($24) or a pour of Van Winkle 15 year ($60) shows the depth. Wine drinkers can try the Patricia Green Pinot Noir Coravin pour ($18) or the Sandeman 20-Year Tawny ($23). The NAgroni Sbagliato ($12) is a solid zero-proof pick.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- This program suits drinkers who want a wide choice of cocktails and spirits in one place, from classic mules and martinis to allocated bourbon and high-end wine bottles. It also works for groups where some guests want zero-proof mocktails and others want a serious pour.
- When should I go?
- Anytime you want a full beverage list rather than a short bar menu; the flights and by-the-glass options make it easy to compare across categories.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails range from $7 to $40, martinis $11 to $19, mules $9 to $15, and mocktails $6 to $12. Wine by the glass is $7 to $23, with bottles from $24 to $650. Spirits pours range from $8 to $150, and flights are $24 to $56.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a deep spirits list with allocated bourbons like Van Winkle and George T Stagg, a broad wine list with Coravin pours and high-end bottles, and a full mocktail section gives this program unusual range for a single restaurant.
