The editorial take
Paper Doll POP pours a wide, all-$12 cocktail menu spanning martinis, retro drinks, classics, and house originals like the Basil Smash and Thank You For Not Smoking. The Dirty martini stakes a bold claim. Shots run $7, and the bar backs its cocktails with local beers, basic wines, and a playful shot list. A capable stop for drinkers who want options without a fuss.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Dirty, billed as the dirtiest martini, then pivot to a house original like the Basil Smash (gin, lime, cucumber) or Out Of Office (rum, passionfruit, pineapple). All cocktails are $12, so sampling is easy.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail drinkers who like a broad menu with classics and house originals at a flat $12 price. Fans of playful shots and local beer will find something, too.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails are uniformly $12; shots are $7; domestic beers are $4; imports and locals are $6. Wine pours also sit at $12.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail menu is organized into martinis, retro, classics, and house originals, all at one price. The Dirty martini's self-proclaimed title and house originals like Thank You For Not Smoking (bourbon, bacon bitters) give the program personality.
