Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program at this California Coastal Cocktail Bar & Kitchen is built around a staff-designed cocktail list, with house specialties using named spirits and modifiers at $14-$17. A dedicated zero-proof section called 'Free Spirits' uses Lyre's and Seedlip at $12. Wine runs by the glass and bottle across sparkling, rose, white, and red from California and Italy. Beer focuses on gluten-removed Porchlight cans and Kyla hard kombucha. Happy hour brings cocktails and wine to $8 and $6 respectively.
- What should I order?
- Start with the 75 Roses Garden, a gin-and-vodka cocktail with LoFi Amaro, cucumber, lemon, and a Scharffenberger Brut Rose float. For a smoke-forward option, the Smokey Bear is a cherrywood-smoked Old Fashioned with Redwood Empire and Angostura. The Garden Grove is the zero-proof pick, using Seedlip non-alcoholic gin with cucumber, basil, and lemon.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a creative cocktail list with named spirits and a real zero-proof section will find both here. Wine drinkers who like by-the-glass flexibility across sparkling, rose, white, and red will also be covered. Beer drinkers looking for gluten-removed options or hard kombucha have a clear path.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the value window, with cocktails at $8 and wine at $6. Brunch brings a separate cocktail bar with mimosa, bloody mary, aperol spritz, espresso martini, and lavender lemonade.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $14-$17, zero-proof cocktails $9-$12, wine by the glass $9-$19 and bottles $35-$75, and canned beer $9-$11. Happy hour drops cocktails to $8, wine to $6, and beer to $6.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail list is designed and created by staff with a focus on new and unique combinations, and the zero-proof section is a dedicated 'Free Spirits' list using Lyre's and Seedlip rather than a token mocktail or two. The beer list leans on gluten-removed Porchlight cans and Kyla hard kombucha.
