The editorial take
Two rooftop decks, a full bar, and a cocktail menu that runs from an Old Fashioned built on barrel-aged Sagamore Spirit rye to a house-infused jalapeño tequila margarita. The wine list moves from prosecco by the glass to reserve bottles, with local honey mead from Mazza Winery in the mix. Local John Russell Brewing Co. Handles the taps, and spirit-free drinks use Ritual N/A bottlings rather than syrup and soda. The sister venue at the same bayfront location publishes its own parallel lists.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Old Fashioned, made with barrel-aged Sagamore Spirit rye, or the Smoked Old Fashion with cherry-smoked Bulleit Bourbon. The Spicy Passion Fruit Margarita brings house-infused jalapeño tequila and a salt rim. On the wine side, the Brilla! Prosecco by the glass or the Mazza Winery Honey Mead are the clearest local and value picks.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups splitting a rooftop table between cocktails and wine, and anyone who wants a spirit-free drink built with Ritual N/A rum or tequila instead of a sweet mocktail. Beer drinkers looking for John Russell Brewing Co. Pours will find them here.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails span 9 to 18, with most signatures in the 14 to 16 range. Draft beer runs 6 to 8 and cans or bottles 5 to 6. Wine by the glass starts at 11 for prosecco, and reserve bottles reach 114 to 129.
