The editorial take
One Day Bar runs a cocktail menu organized into Crowd Pleasers, Bartender Favorites, Old Fashioned, and a red-eye section built around espresso. Classics split by base spirit — gin, whiskey, tequila/mezcal, rum — with named ingredients and prices from $9 to $14. Wine and beer appear on the menu, though the cocktail list carries the program. The Pit Viper and Rock, Paper, Scissors show the kitchen-sink approach; the Old Fashioned and Corpse Reviver #2 show the classics are taken seriously. Espresso Martini add-ons and a cognac Carajillo substitution add flexibility.
- What should I order?
- Pit Viper, with tequila, cointreau, green chili liqueur, lime, pineapple, and simple syrup at $11, or Rock, Paper, Scissors — tequila, mezcal, maraschino, lemon, egg white, and angostura at $13. For a classic, the Vieux Carre (rye, cognac, sweet vermouth, benedictine, peychauds, angostura) is $13.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a broad cocktail list with both modern house drinks and spirit-grouped classics. The red-eye section with Espresso Martini and Carajillo suits anyone looking for coffee-and-spirit combinations, and the $9-$14 pricing covers a range of budgets.

- The espresso-based red-eye cocktails make this a fit for evening coffee-and-spirit orders, while the classics and house sections work for a standard cocktail outing.

- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The menu splits house cocktails into Crowd Pleasers, Bartender Favorites, and Old Fashioned sections, groups classics by base spirit, and runs a dedicated red-eye section with espresso-based drinks including the Espresso Martini and Carajillo. The Carajillo offers a cognac substitution, and the Espresso Martini takes five optional add-ons.
