Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Two cocktail menus anchor the program: a signature list and a seasonal one, both with full ingredient builds. Drinks move across gin, bourbon, tequila, mezcal, rum, and whiskey, from To the Lighthouse with Empress Indigo Gin and Prosecco to a barrel-aged Paschall's Old Fashioned built on Four Roses. The beer list runs 13 deep with brewery, origin, and ABV noted, leaning on Texas names alongside domestic and imported staples. Wine stays at house red, white, and sparkling.
- What should I order?
- Start with To the Lighthouse, built on Empress Indigo Gin with Passion Fruit Liqueur, lemon, Prosecco, and club soda, or the barrel-aged Paschall's Old Fashioned with Four Roses Bourbon and house bitters. The seasonal menu is worth asking about for builds like Veladora, which layers vanilla-infused Dulce Vida Reposado with Verde Mezcal and spiced pear liqueur.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a full cocktail menu with ingredient builds rather than a short list of standards, and who appreciate a beer selection with Texas breweries and ABV detail alongside the cocktails.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A cocktail bar running two simultaneous menus, signature and seasonal, with named builds that reach into Pisco, peppercorn-infused bourbon, housemade limoncello, and orange-infused dark rum, plus a 13-beer list annotated with brewery, origin, and ABV.
