Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
A wine bar with a serious cocktail sideline. The Pistachio Martini is a signature pour, and the list runs $11-$13. Wine leans Italian, with DOCG bottles like Chianti Classico and Barbera d'Asti. Beers stay simple, from Hefeweizen to an Italian bottled option. A well-rounded stop for a mixed group.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Pistachio Martini, a vanilla vodka and Disaronno mix with Midori and half-and-half, finished with crushed pistachios. It's the house highlight, and at $13 it's a reasonable splurge.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail drinkers who appreciate a creative twist will find plenty here. Wine enthusiasts leaning toward Italian varietals will appreciate the DOCG selections. The beer list offers familiar styles for those who prefer simpler pours.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail menu goes beyond the usual with a Pistachio Martini and house-infused habanero vodka in a Spicy Moscow Mule. The wine list emphasizes Italian DOCG bottles, balancing local Washington and Oregon picks.
